Star photos '' Committee Recommends Rules Gulf County's Planning Commission adopted a set of subdivision regulations in a meeting at the Courthouse Thursday eve- ning. The local group of citizens, appointed: a year ago by the Gulf County Commission to make recommendations were aided in their task of preparing the list of regulations by the Northwest Florida Planning and Advisory Council. Four members of the Gulf County Commission, Silas Player, Everett Owens, Eldridge Money and chairman Otis Davis, Jr., were present at the meeting and gave their tentative approval to the new set of -- regulations--- " The regulations are designed to protect the county and its citizens from real estate developers who will develop subdivisions under false pretenses. The regulations!set out stipulations which must be followed by developers in creating new subdivisions to keep the areas from becoming a burden to the taxpayers and to make sure all services and claims offered in the new areas are provided for.: The new regulations also require a public hearing before any new subdivision is " accepted by the county. For .\ears, the county has been accept- ing subdivisions without requirements with Sthe- esult that thecounty has-had to foot the bill for building roads, and providing certain services. Subdividers have had to bear only the costs of surveying and mapping out a subdivision, with no restrictions made as to lot size, water, sewage, garbage, etc. This will no longer be the case after the county adopts the set of regulations hext month as they are expected to do. .The regulations were presented to the Board by Planning Council chairman Hugh White and Max W. Kilbourn. Also at Thursday's meeting, the Plan- ning Council and the County Commission was alerted by the Northwest Florida Planning and Advisory Council that certain federal funds ..ould be available over the next three years for use in various commun- ity and countyy projects. . The Board members, ,representatives rof the cities of Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka and the Planning Commission sat down for a look at the projects available to be funded under the program and set as their main priority the funding for planning and con- Revival services will begin" ,at the Church of the Naza- rene; at the corner of Long' Avenue and Niles Road Sun- Sheriff Deputies Break Up Party Gulf-County Sheriff's De- puties broke up a "pot paity" on Garrison Avenue at 3:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 11.

The county has been notified they must make other arrangements for disposal of garbage and other solid wastes. This warning has come from the Florida Department of Pollution Control which has condemned all of the county's present landfill disposal areas except one. The state says the -county or' cities may not bury garbage or solid wastes in areas where the water table is closer than five feet beneath the buried wastes. The high water.table in Gulf County makes practically the entire county unsuitable for solidly waste disposal under the new regulanons.- -';: -. - Representatives of the NFPAC said they were uncertain' as to how much money would be available .but warned the first in Line with a comprehensive plan for the county would be'considered first.

Call for Bids On 0 Sewer Project The City Commission told Bob Gehrig, a representa- tive of Smith and Gillespie, Engineers, of Jacksonville to proceed with calling for bids on the .first phase of a pro- posed $2.8 million overhaul of the City's Water and sewer system Tuesday night. Gehrig presented plans for replacing and rebuilding the City's three sewage lift sta- tions as.the IirsL phase of the re-hab program. Gehrig said he needed only a government stipulation of acceptable con- struction'wages' on the pro- ject before he could go out for bids. The Commission asked that the bids be sent out immediately with the sal- ary adendum to follow later. Gehilg told the Board he would have the bids returned by April 22. The Board agreed to change their regu- lar meeting of April 15 to that date in order to receive the bids. The first phase of the pro- gram calls for the replace- ment of the lift station at the corner of Long and 16th. This facility will be underground with a dwelling-like structure above ground as a service building. Gehrig said the fa- cility would be in keeping with the dwelling houses in the area. All utility services will be placed underground. The program will also in- cluding a re-building of the lift station on First Streefand increasing the capacity of the station near the hospital.

The pattern was set at the hearing in the courthouse attended by an.estimated 150 people, about evenly divided between visitors and resi- dents. Of those who voiced their opinions on the matter, 19 were Gulf county residents and 14 were from out of the county. Two of the Gulf coun- ty speakers favored the pur- S chase and three of the visi- tors opposed the purchase. The hearing, set by the Florida Division of Recrea- tion Parks, is a preliminary step to presenting the pur- chase of the property to the Florida Cabinet for a final decision. Lt. Tom Frances, park dis- trict naturalist from Panama City, ard William Jernigan, assistant director of the Parks Division of Tallahas- see, presided. Frances,.in his opening remarks compared the uniqueness of St. Joseph's Bay and the Peninsula with Grand Canyon, Smokey Mountains and Yellowstone National Park. Jernigan merely explained the purpose of the endangered lands pro-, gram and explained he was- only here to listen to the opinions of the citizens to- ward this particular item. Speakers like Stephen Sted- man. ,Bay County' Audubon Society: Mary Ellen Chas- tain. Panacea Woman's Club and Helen Griffin. Apalachee Audubon Society. favored the purchase under the State En- vironmentally Endangered Land Program to preserve 'the waters and marine life of St. Joseph Bay. Speakers such as Tom Col- dewey, E. F. Gunn, George Tapper and B. M. Janowski claimed proper development would do no harm to the Bay or the Peninsula. Tom Col- dewey said the project didn't meet the requirements of the Endangered Land acquisition program, County Commission Chair- man Otis Davis, Jr., started the line of protesters by presenting resolutions from the County Commission and the Port St. Joe City Com- mission opposing the pur- chase. The environmentalists con- tended that builders and peo- ple drawn to the cape as one of the last undeveloped off- shore islands would even- tually pollute the bay. Jack Rudloe, owner of Gulf Specimen Co., of Panacea, and one of the most V6cal of the proponents for state pur- chase, said the cape was one of the few remaining pristine beach -wilderness areas left in Florida and should be saved for future generations. He compared the develop- ment movement under way in Gulf County to put people on the cape with Alligator Harbor in Franklin County which, he said, has been destroyed by homes and apartments on Alligator Point. Local speakers, such as H. A. Hendry, Jesse Stone, W. C. Roche, James T. McNeill, and Bob Moore claimed the state already had enough zon- ing and setback regulations to protect the bay from de- velopment on the cape. "We don't want to destroy our fish and seafood either," said George Tapper, a for- mer state senator and land- owner on the cape. "But that really isn't the question here." He said .ero- sion was probably the long run enemy of the cape and pointed out that the light- house there now is the third one built as the sea slowly changes the strip of land in the Gulf. 'The first light was a mile out in the Gulf from the present one", he said. County officials have said the land the state wants to purchase is-now assessed at $1.2 million and that, if sold, it would take $40,000 a year away from the local tax take. It was pointed out at the hearing that a parcel which comprises about half of the acreage under consideration currently is mortgaged for $4 million. E. F. Gunn, who owns property on the cape, said he didn't agree with Rudloe's assessment that the bay would be destroyed "like Al- ligator Harbor". "I was over there over the week end checking out the fishing in that area", Gunn said. "I talked to fishermen from Panacea to Apalachicola and (Continued on Page 2) William Jernigan with State Parks Division, standing,. and Lt. Tom Frances, District Naturalist, preside over hearing. Star Photo' Set Clock Back An Hour Saturday Nite Just in case you didn't know it already, the nation, including Port St. Joe, goes off standard time Saturday night of this week. This means we will lose an hour of sleep Saturday night and cannot recover it until fall.

The time normally changes in April, but the nation is changing early this year in order to conserve energy by burning the night lights an hour less each night.

Timely Action We think it is to the credit of the County Commission and the School Board that they should undertake to pare their budgets this early in the year before they get into trouble with diminishing income later in the year. Our county Road Department is one place where we can get into trouble if some planning isn't done right now. Much of the Road Department operation is financed with gasoline taxes from the state. Already these taxes have slowed down and planned energy conser- vation actions on a national level are subject to reduce this income even more. If the county doesn't take steps, this particular fund could be in deep trouble before October rolls around when a new budget will go into effect.

He pointed out the area could be safely develop- ed with the proper safe-- guards and that Gulf County was in the middle of drawing up these safeguards at the present time. Sea Life Abounds In Bay Jack Rudloe, president of Gulf Specimens in Panacea spoke to the Port St. Joe Rotary Club last Thursday telling them of the unique, marine life which abounds in St. Joseph Bay. Rudloe said the bay was unique in this area as it had more species and greater numbers of marine life than any other-estuary'in this"area ': ol the Gulf"coast.. "St :Josqph Bay is one of the last areas left with such a variety of life supported by its waters", Rudloe said. The speaker presented sev- eral slides of the area around St. Joseph's Peninsula show- ing the botanical life and the "living sand" as he termed it. Rudloe said the sand dunes are continually shift- ing, losing sand and building back again in storms, winds, etc. He pointed out that the environment on the peninsula exists along the shore only and does not exist inland. St. Joseph's Bay, especially the south end of the bay is a breeding grounds for many kinds of marine life'; includ- ing shrimp, conehs, clams, horseshoe crabs, mullet, and various other kinds of fish and shellfish. In addition, rare birds such as the peli- can breed. in the area.

We need to make something clear for the ambulance service being provided here in Gulf County: I understand several people have called on the ambulance service for transporting patients ,from hospital to hospital or transporting people to hospitals out of town orina non emergency basis. These people had to be turned down and some may feel a little hard at the ambulance service for this reason, The service has been provided for emer- gency use only. If a patient is picked up in an emergency situation and take to the hospital only to be advised the patient needs to be taken to where there are more .facilities, the ambu- lance service will do so. If it is merely a matter of transporting and not a matter of life or death; the ambulance service can't do this. The service has provided one vehicle in each end of the county operated by volunteers who leave their jobs or whatever they might be doing to make an ambulance run. If the transportation is not an emergency, the vehicle cannot leave the county since it may be needed at any time for an emergency situation. Too, the operators can hardly be +expected to leave their jobs to transfer a patient to another hospital if it is not a case of an emergency situation. They drop what: they are doing in case of an emergency but can't be expected to do so in an elective situation. Another word-the ambulance service op- erates on donations from patients and a small amount of, money provided by county tax Dollars. The county purchased the vehicles and probably will continue to do so as well as provide a place for their housing. The service Swas set up to provide supplies from free will donations and possibly finance the entire operation from donations from those using the service in the future. So don't feel hard at the ambulance operators if they tell you they can't do something. It's in their by-laws of operation in order to provide the service as much as Mrs. Ivey Last Rites Is Taken Held for by Death W."W.

Another Arrest In Pot Ring State Attorney, Leo C. Jones. Friday announced that from evidence gathered through efforts of his office and Florida Department of Criminal Law Enforcement and presented to the State Wide Grand Jury investigat- ing the narcotics traffic in the State of Florida, the State Wide Grand Jury last Wed- nesday, Feb. 12, indicted Ralph E. Spinks of the Bayou George area in Bay County for conspiracy with others to distribute marijuana between February 13, 1973 and May 31. 1973 in Bay County. Assis- tant State Attorney, Ray Sy- frett who had been assigned by Jones to work with the State Wide Grand Jury, re- turned to Bay County.with the hand carried indictment and arrest order last Wednes- day. Spnk Ralph E. Spinks was ar- rested Friday, Feb. 14 at approximately 5:00 a.m. at his residence in Bayou George on the indictment by agents of the State Attorney's Office, Bay County Sheriff's Office and Florida Depart- ment of Criminal Law En- forcement. A task force of agents from the State At- torney's Office, Florida De- partment of Criminal Law Enforcement and the Bay County Sheriff's Office sur- rounded the Spinks' home at 10:00 p.m. Thursday night and directed Spinks to come out, which he refused to do. 'Finally, at daylight Spinlis emerged from his residence with his wife, armed with a, shotgun and a pistol blut' dropped the weapons and surrendered upon realizing that he was surrounded by the agents. Bond was set by Circuit Judge Mounts of the State Wide Grand Jury at one-half million dollars and Mr. Spinks was arraigned before County Judge Tom Ellinor last Friday on that bond. Spinks is presently in the Bay County jail not having posted bond. This indictment and arrest was part and is part of the investigation 'and continuing investigation of the drug traf- fic in Florida uncovered in the Christmas 1973 raid which netted approximately 25 tons of marijuana in Gulf County and lead to the arrest and conviction of Sparky Raf- field and the arrest and con- viction of five others. This investigation is con- tinuing by the Office of the Sate Attorney and as evi- dence is accumulated it will be presented by the office in cooperation with the FDCLE to the State Wide Grand Jury investigating the drug traffic throughout Florida. Other ar- rests are expected to follow as the probe continues into the drug traffic throughout Florida. possible for emergency situations. The board of directors suggest calling an ambulance in the city to which you may wish to go in case of a desired transfer. I guess there is something to the ground hog legend after all. Old Punratawney Phil didn't see his shadow on ground hog day which predicted that spring was upon us. After two or three days of :chilly weather for the few days following ground hog day we have had nothing but spring weather here in the Panhandle. The redbuds have taken on their smoky look with their delicate pink blossoms. Some even by-passed the blooming stage, figuring they were late, and went ahead and put out leaves before they bloomed. The pear trees are in bloom and the azaleas are just beginning to put forth with their burst of spring color. The pecan trees don't believe it, though, and are still waiting for a later signal before they begin to bud out. The only thing I haven't seen is somebody in swimming at the beach. I expect it any day though. Chauncey Costin was on pins and needles the other day just before the cold snap which went through our part of the state. Chauncey looked like a nervous expectant father worry- ing over whether or not the cold snap was going to get his orange tree. Chauncey has an orange tree in his back yard fixing to put on its first crop of blooms. The tree is covered with buds and Chauncey was worried they might get bit by the cold before they bloomed out. It looks like the tree is safe now and Chauncey has taken on a more calm demeanor these past few days. I understand Chauncey quit smoking about a -month ago and the worry over his orange ' tree made him start again. Life is full of these crises Chauncey; don't let it get you down.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1975 PAGE THREE FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMENTS ON THE.OUTDOORS SDr. O. E. Frye, Jr. Director GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION TALLAHASSEE-For more than thirty years, the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has been on the receiving end of the question,"Wh'ere can we hunt?" During that ensuing time period, a record five million acres of land has been ac- cumulated under the Wildlife Management Area program in a continued and concerted drive to provide licensed sportsmen that elusive "Quality outdoor ex- perience", be it hunting, fishing or simply the oppor- tunity to step quietly across the grass carpet of a wooded glade or paddle languidly across a quiet pond. These areas consist of state-owned tracts including the Cecil Webb or J. W. Cor- bett Wildlife Management Areas in the southern end of the state, national forests such;-as the Ocala, Osoeola,.? oi Apalachicola in central arid north Florida, and massive holdings leased from timber, pulpwood and re- lated industries such as the St. Joe Paper Company, Buckeye Cellulose, Lykes Brothers, Container Corpora- tion of America and other owners of large and small holdings too numerous to list. In the mysterious land of the Everglades, the Central and Southern Flood Control District flowage easements coincide with the wildlife management activities of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission on the 175,000 square mile water conserva- tion areas sprawling their marshlands and sawgrass savannas over much of Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties. Scattered throughout the state are other greater and lesser pieces of private and public owned acreage leased or loaned to the Commission for Wildlife Management pur- poses. In the future, the Coin- mission may no longer boast of actually controlling f've million acres but, in fact, the sportsmen who searched for available hunting lands will have more acres open through a new cooperative system where landowners will open their lands to the public at fees commensurate with those charged by the state and will handle much of their own game manage- ment and law enforcement. While' the Commission naturally retains constitu- tional responsibility for all nonjudicial authority over wild animal life and fresh water aquatic life, this new program will provide more lard' to the hunter and other outdoor-oriented sportsmen. Coupled with the pos- sibility of this largesse of land becoming available for hunting and fishing, the Commission is researching methods by which more out- doorsmen will not only have more area to enjoy but, through such programs as quota systems to limit any specific area to a lesser num- ber of hunters, the quality of the outdoor experience will obviously be on the in- crease. Couple these innovations, which will provide more hunting and outdoor oppor- tunities, with an enriched fish and wildlife management program, and Florida will re- tain the title of one of the leading states in outdoor recreation activities through- out the nation.

Mackall, Director, of Florida's Division of Veterans Affairs of the De- partment of Community Affairs on federal income taxes for veterans filing returns. In general, veterans bene- fits are exempt from federal income tax, and need not be reported as income. This income tax exemption applies to dividends and proceeds from government life insurance -policies, but federal estate tax does apply to insurance proceeds. Also, interest earned on govern- ment life insurance dividends left on deposit or credit with the Veterans Ad- ministration is considered income and must be reported on federal income tax returns. Among major tax exempt veterans benefits are com- pensation, pension, GI Bill and other educational assis- tance, including subsistence payments to vocational re- habilitation trainees. Also exempt Mackall stated, are grants to service disabled veterans eligible for specially adapted homes and cars, and clothing allow- ances for veterans whose prosthetic devices tend to wear out or tear their' clothing. If you have any questions regarding the above or any veteran matter, contact either your local County Veteran Service Office, any office of the Veterans Ad- ministration or write Mackall at Post Office Box 1437, St. Petersburg 33731 (including your Veterans Administration Claim number, Service Serial number or date of birth). county during 1974.

Star Photo STEVE LAWRENCE-Best Blocker MARK WIMRBERY.VRBct Tacklr Financial Assistance for Students Available There are many financial assistance plans available for students attending college (four year, community, pri- vate and public). Many of these programs are funded by the state or Federal government. Each college also has special grants, scho- larships, loan programs and work study programs admini- stered by the financial aid director of each college. The Florida legislature has established and funded a pro- gram providing for financial assistance to qualified Flori- da students who attend Flor- ida colleges. This program is known as the Florida Student Assistance .Grant Program and is administered by the Florida Department of Edu- catioq. Th deadline for filing this application is March 1. The Basic Education Op- portunity Grant program (BEOG) is a Federal Govern- ment financial aid program. The BEOG program has been funded for approximately one billion dollars for the 1975-76 school term. Almost all colleges use fi- nancial need as a basis for awarding scholarships and grants. Very few scholarships based on academic achieve- ment are awarded. However, the family income which de- termines financial aid eligi- bility has increased and mid- dle income families now have a better chance of receiving financial assistance for col- lege. Applications for financial aid are available in the gui- dance office of Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School. All .seniors who have expressed an interest in attending col- lege should have received a package of financial aid in- formation and applications. Any parents who would like additional information may call Miss Rita Sanders at 227-8962 or visit the guidance office of Port St. Joe High.

In addition, five special awards were present- ed for extra achievements with the selections for the awards made by the team. the team, their dates and guests feasted on a banquet of ham, fried chicken, and a selection of vegetables and thoroughly enjoyed an inspir- ing address given by Jake Gaither, athletic director emeritus of Florida A&M Un- i\ersity. Gaither retired as football coach of the Univer- sit,, ith a record of 203 wins, 36 losses and four ties during his illustrious career. Letters were presented by the coaches, Wayne Taylor, Gerald Lewter, Bill Woods and. Kesley Colbert to: John Owens, Sandy Sanborn, Bill Norton, Bruce May, Robbie Sahborn, Danny Tankersley, Robert Farmer, Mike Ether- Sidge, John Shackleford, Ron- ald Daniels, Bonnie Garland, Jody Taylor, Ray Lawrence, Steve Lawrence, Wayne Mc- Kiernan, Carl Whittle, Mike Todd, Mark Wimberly, Ran- dy Herring, Tony Harrison, Steve Cloud and David Am- brose. Recognized for their selec- tion to special honorary teams were: Robert Farmer, all Big Bend; John Shackle- ford, Robert Farmer, Steve Lawrence, Mark Wimberly and Tony Harrison, all con- ference. Special awards were pre- sented to Tony Harrison, most enthusiastic; Robbie Sanborn, most improved; Steve Lawrence, best block- er; Mark Wimberly, best tackler; and Robert Farmer, most valuable player. Steve Lawrence and Mark Wimberly were recognized as Dangers in SmallI Cars Told The small car is becoming more and more popular these days mostly because they are cheaper to buy and operate;, however, there are some in- herent dangers which drivers need to learn said the Florida Highway Patrol this week. "Studies have shown that when a compact car collides with a larger car or truck, the smaller car sustains by far the most damage and re- sults in more serious injur- ies," said Colonel Eldrige Beach, director of the Patrol. Some smaller cars cannot be seen readily by oncoming traffic which may be passing on a slight rise that does not require no-passing solid lines. Drivers of small cars were warned to take care when passing other vehicles be- cause their own car is more difficult to see in a rear view mirror than a full size ve- hicle. '.'Drivers of small cars, which are often low-powered, tend to drive at a faster rate in city traffic. This greatly increases their chances of becoming involved in a traf- fic crash. One major reason for driving faster is that dri- vers won't have to shift into a lower gear," Beach said. "Should you become in- volved in an accident, your chances of arriving alive are greatly reduced when you are in a small, lighter automo- bile, so allow that extra mar- gin of safe space between you andg other vehicles," con- cluded Colonel Beach. Smokey Says: Fire prevention affects all of us! the team captains. In his address, Gaither de- veloped his theme of wanting his football players to be agile, hostile and mobile. He said his motto during all his years of coaching was to put out blood, sweat and tears in football or any other endea- vor worthy of attention.., "Football has meant rtAlch to me". Gaither said. "It has helped me to meet many good people and to influence the lives of many young nin. My greatest satisfaction in life is to see one of 'my boys' make good". .The speaker said that any-. thing one gets in life that is worth while has to be worked for. "The team or 'he.indi- vidual who wins is the team or the individual who worked the hardest", he said. Gaither said he alwaysex- pected his players to get their lessons, stay out of trouble and "give me all you've got." He philosophized that' it wasn't how you played'-the game that was impqrtaiit% but winning was important. "I know you can't win all the time", he said, "but you can expect to win all the time." He urged young men to win modestly, lose with .dignity when you have to lose,' 2ith no apology for either. .

All tools should be kept sharp. Sharp tools not only cut easier but will not bruise the plant tissue. Bruis- ing the plant causes slower healing of the wound and causes an increase in the pro- bability of disease. A clean cut should be made. This means the cut surface should have a smooth surface not a rough one that looks as if the tissue has been torn or pulled. Care should be taken not to injure the plant around the cut, or rip or tear the bark above or below the cut. The cambium layer, a thin layer of cells just below the bark which is important in wound healing, is easily injured. Do not twist or turn the shears as you cut because you will injure the plant as. well as your shears. A wound compound should be applied to cuts over one inch in dia- meter to prevent insects and disease from entering the cut. Clipped hedges require a specialized type of pruning and may become a continu- ous job during the growing season. There are two impor- tant factors .to remember about clipped hedges. The hedge should be clipped while the new growth is green and succulent. Also. the plant should be trimmed so that the base of the hedge is. wider than the top so that light can reach the lower leaves. Unless a shrub is a topiary, espalier, or part of a formal hedge it should not be close- ly clipped but allowed to develop into a naturalistic form. This does not mean that the plant should be left alone, but that pruning is done to enhance the natural beauty of the plant. The first step in pruning is to remove all dead, diseased, or injured branches: Once this is done it may be necessary to thin out the plant. Remove branches that cross each other or they will obviously become entan- gled. If the shrub still looks too thick remove some of the older branches. Remove any branches that are distinctly different from the rest of the shrub. Cut back excessively long growth to a bud that is four to six inches below the average branch length. If you wish to reduce the size of the shrub cut back each branch four to six inches to a new bud. Do not use hedge shears but cut each branch separate- ly. This will provide a neat, informal shrub, that retains its naturalistic shape. A properly pruned shrub is For.

Shrubs that bloom in summer and fall generally develop flowers on current seasons growth and should be pruned before the first flush of growth in the spring. Shrubs that bloom in the spring or winter should be pruned immediately after flowering has finished. Prun- ing is practiced to maintain plant health, control plant growth, and encourage flo- wering and fruiting. These objectives should be remem- bered as.you prune. Pruning should encourage plant health, not plant di- sease. Therefore, it is import- ant to prune properly using the correct pruning tools.

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1975 PAGE TEN UI The Board of County Com- missioners of Gulf County, met on January 28 in regular session with the following members present: Chairman Otis Davis, Jr.; S. C. Player, Eldridge Money, Everett Owens, Jr. and T. D. (Doc) Whitfield. Also present were Clerk George Y. Core, Sheriff Raymond Lawrence, Attor- ney William J. Rish, Mosqui- to Control Supervisor Em- mette Daniell, Road Super- intendent Lloyd Whitfield, Fi- nancial Officer Jerry Gates, Civil Defense Director Ric- hard Lancastei and Veterans Service .Officer Albert Thames. Sheriff Raymond Lawrence called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Attorney William J. Rish opened the meeting with prayer and led the pledge of allegiance to the flag. The minutes of January 14 ; were read and Attorney Wil- liam J. Rish requested the minutes be corrected to re- flect that Ordinance No. 4, adoption of a building code, was not intended to be adopt- ed as an emergency ordi- nance. The Board's, action was a notice of intent to adopt at the regular meeting of February 11, 1975. After this correction, the minutes were approved as read. Bob Bates, Northwest Flor- ida Planning and Advisory Council, in conjunction with H. W. White, Jr., Chairman of the Gulf County Planning Commission, discussed sub- division regulations for Gulf County. He reminded the Board that if the proposed development "Christie's Beach" was to be regulated the Board would have to act immediately on the regula- tions. The Board requested time to study neighboring county regulations and use the guidance of the Gulf County Planning Commission before adoption of the regula- tion. The Advisory Council .agreedtro-assist- on -this nat-. ter at no cost to the county. Mi.. Bates then discussed the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. After discussion, Comm. Owens moved the Board designate the Northwest Flor- ida :Planning -and Advisofy Council to provide technical assistance with applications and attend meetings as its representative. Comm. Money seconded the motion and:it passed unanimously. The Board received a letter from Max Kilbourn and agreed to reconstitute the Gulf: County Planning Com- mittee as requested by the letter. Charles Dunn, Department of transportation, discussed the secondary road program and requested the Board sub- mit .its five-year priorities before the annual meeting to be held in Blountstown in March. The Board agreed to set a date for a secondary road planning session. -Royce Pitts, assistant dis- trict planning engineer, De- partment of Transportation, discussed the adjustments to the primary road system. and stated the Department of Transportation is going to begin processing the return of the Cape San Blas Road to Gulf County for maintenance. Comm. Player then stated he would like for Mr. Dunn to verify that no county second- ary road funds were used on the bridges at Simmons Bayou or the bypass road near.'the country club. Mr. Dunn stated that only state and federal funds were used on this project and his de- partment spent 18 months trying to get environmental clearance for a bypass road through the marsh closer to the bridges and could not get this clearance. He stated that no county funds are being used.:on the construction of the :ridges or the bypass road Dr; Tom Gibson and C. G. Costini appeared before the Board to appeal the property assessment on lots they own at Beacon Hill. Comm. Play- er stated the Board has no jurisdiction over this matter until: the Tax Assessor re- ques~s in written form a change in an assessment. The Attorney stated this would be the proper procedure. Honorable Samuel A. Pat- rick;flax Assessor, presented the following certificate of corr.etion on the 1974 Tax Roll::and upon motion by Comm. Player seconded by Comm. Whitfield, and unaai- mously carried that each re- quest be approved. Copy of the certificate of correction 'is on file in the Clerk's office. The Board entered into a discussion as to a request by the city of Wewahitchka for road work assistance from the county road department -in the Red Bull Island area. The Board directed the Clerk to return three right of way deeds that were heretofore presented to the county by C. M.
