$1. 50 per cubic yard which said Board feels is discriminatory and unfair con-
sidering the price set by said Trustees for filling in other counties and by this
resolution requests the said Trustees to reconsider the price established in
Monroe County and reduce same to a more reasonable and fair figure.
