stated the state sets all the speed limits. Margaret Mahaney
commented on the excellent job the kids did on the Rathburn
Rd Bridge. Bill Gamble feels the recreation program is excellent
and a positive program for our youth. Earl Engle discussed the
road issue on Driftwood Shores. He feels this is only a right

is in charge of roads.
