Mr. White indicated Crossing that they would rather go underground with the pipeline rather than engage in a controversy since they had not received approval from the Drainage District to go overhead. Raney reported that to go overhead would take about three days, whereas going FPZC-M-6-27-74 2 Amoco Pipeline (continued) going underground would take about three to six weeks. He would recommend that the line be put above ground. Further discussion followed.
