expensive than phase 1 but it 's five years down the road so, inflation will probably take care of the rest of it. Phase 3 though the costs are pretty close to twice the cost of either on of these phases ubt I didn' t see where there was a great deal of need to have Nottingham submit bond on phase 3 when he isn' t even going to touch it for 10 years and at that time, we could adjust the bond accordingly. RW: do they agree to that MH: Yeah, RW: So that $7000 is just for phase 1 and 2 right now RW: Okay, you heard the staff recommendation any questions of Mark with respect to the application? Then I refere to get it on the floor I would move approval of the Nottingham S b G File 78-352 with the bond set at $7000 and with the stipulation that this bond. . . LH: I have all the language if you want, Dr. Ward. RW: OK, LH: Wnat me to read it in the records? RW: That is what I 've got with the addcitional statement that Mark read into the record, about phase 3 RW: regarding phase 3 and the reconsideration of the bond, I second RW: Ok, now RT: Ok, I jsut have a quick one on that address thing so that when you' re by a landowner, is it going to be corrected in the Board so there's not a foulup on the taxes so she' s not paying the property taxes , I mean that 's a minor thing but we might as well take each of one of these objections.

Now if one our of our trains was approaching this crossing and one of these trucks wasy trying to get across this particular crossing we could throw on our brakse our air, and we'd never stop in time there could be a serious accident and I think this one thing that you gentlemen should consider is the impact that say that derailment
