approximately one-half acre to 4i acres. The land is situated within three miles of the City Limits
of Bozeman and Montana Statutes require that lands platted within that area must be approved by the

be given. After discussion at length of this matter, the City Engineer was requested to prepare a
sketch to show how this area might need to be arranged if it were brought into the city arn the Manager
was instructed to inform the State Land Board that approval of that plat is being deferred until
further investigation can be made.
