February 1, 1918
Town Board of Elk River met at A.R. Sellon’s with full attendance.
Present: \[Not listed\]
Sellon Road petition was brought up and route of road was examined and all parties interested were
heard from.
A.R. Sellon produced affidavits to show that the proper notices had been posted on billboards and
served on persons owning land, by A.R. Sellon and C.W. Guptil, Deputy Sheriff of Sherburne Co.
Motion was made and carried to change Sellon petition.
Sellon, Taylor, and Stuefen being willing and agreeing, the petition was changed to read, “Beginning
at a point ten rods east of the northeast corner of the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of
Section six (6) Township thirty-three (33) and Range twenty-six (26), etc.”
Taylors asked $250 damages and Sellon offered them $100. Being unable to come to a settlement
between themselves, the Board of Supervisors was called upon to assess the damages.
Damages assessed and awarded by the Town Board, after benefits had been deducted, amounted to
$100.
A.R. Sellon turned over a check for $100 to the Town of Elk River.
