THIRT EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 51 , Industry Deep Water Port Fin> People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1975 $427.00 More Tax Dolla s; Millage Rate Reduced City City tax payers will pay a total of $427.00 more in tax dollars into the 1975-76 fiscal year budget than they did in the current budget, according to a tentative spending plan adopted by the Commission Hospital Administrator Richard. Zyski tendered his resignation to the Hospital Board this week, making the resignation effective Septem- ber 11,. Zyski said he has been made an offer by a Virginia hospital he can't refuse if he is to advance in his field. The move would send the adminis- trator back to his native state. In his year and a half as administrator at Port St. Joe Municipal, Zyski has carried out an effective program of renovating the institution, Taxes Reflect Minute Increase Tuesday night. While tax dollars extracted from the tax payer will re- main virtually the same for the coming year, the budget reflects a $222,003.00 increase over the year before. This increase is brought about by the first phase of a sewage improvement and expansion plan scheduled to begin some time this month or early in September.

The new budget, including the -sewer project, will total $854,874 as compared to $632, S871.00 for last year. Clerk Charles Brock says he has been given a figure of $51,235,133" by Property Ap- praiser Samuel A. Patrick as the estimated taxable proper- ty valuation in the city limits. No firm figure has been given as yet by Patrick. Brock said that, based on this figure, the taxing millage rate for the new year will run 5.2 mills. The City taxed ata rate of 5.28 mills last year. Work Started On Canal A Mosquito Control dragline set to work Tuesday of this week, on a long projected plan of digging a large drain canal from Highway 98 to Depot Creek. The purpose of the canal is to drain all of Port St. Joe east of Garrison Ave- nue and pick up water from Two Injured In Wreck Twolenl uredr Two people were admitted to Port St. Joe Municipal Hospital Sunday morning, as the result of a two car collision on the Highland View draw- bridge, according to Florida Highway Patrolman Ken Mur- phy. Betty J. McNeill was hos- pitalized with broken ribs and Jo Ruth Smith suffered a concussion, broken collar bone and other cuts and, abrasions. Monday night, she developed a blood clot on the brain and became paralyzed and went into a coma and was transferred .to Tallahassee Memorial'Hospital. The accident occurred Sun- day morning at 10:05 on 'the- east approach to the bridge, according to Trooper Murphy. A 1968 sedan, driven by Nathaniel Way, 308 Avenue D, with Miss McNeill as a passen- ger, came up behind slow, traffic going over the bridge, too fast. As 'he realized the traffic was moving slow, he applied his brakes and went into a skid, swerving his car sideways over into the on- coming traffic lane. A 1972 sedan, driven by Ray G. Smith of Memphis, Tennies- see, with his wife, Jo Ruth Smith, were approaching- from the opposite direction and crashed into the skidding Way automobile. Trooper Murphy said Gulf County Volunteer Ambulance Squad removed the injured from the smashed autos and transferred them to the hospi- tal. "This is the first time I have 'seen them in such a' situation since the squad was formed and they did a real professional job", Murphy said. Murphy said charges of careless driving have been lodged against Way. Both cars were totally des- troyed. Pridgeon Says 1,500 Still Need Tags Tax Collector Harland Pridgeon reported yesterday morning that his office had sold 6,200 vehicle tags,, with one more day to purchase left. Pridgeon said he estimates 1,500 tags were still left to sell yesterday, in order for vehicle owners to get in under the deadline. Pridgeon reported no long lines had formed at 9:30 yesterday morning, but he was expecting it before the day was over. Pridgeon said the Florida Highway Patrol would be giving out tickets today for those caught driving without the new decals in place. "There is no extra charge for purchasing tags late", Prid- geon said, "But the Highway Patrol say they are going to start making cases immed- iately against vehicles caught operating without the new decal in place". smaller drain systems on its route to the creek. Emmette Daniell, superin- tendent of the Mosquito Con- trol Department, said the ditch will run for three and a half miles through the swamps to its destination. The canal will be 30 feet across the bottom and 33 feet across the top. "It'll be deep", Daniell said, "and will begin to lower the water table in the present canal even before the project is finished." Daniell didn't give any dates as to when the project would be finished. He did say a (Continued on Page 2) EXPENDITURES On the expenditure side of the ledger, the City will have to maintain caution during the coming year. Even though the estimated revenue is about the same, there are several areas of sharp increases in expendi- tures. These are experienced mostly in wages and utilities. All City personnel received a five percent increase in wages and another require- ment gave them another four percent increase. The City, .which has its employees plac- ed under the state retirement program, must assume full payment of the retirement credits this year, under a new state law. In the past, the employee paid four percent of his wages into the plan and the City paid six percent. Now the City must pay the full 10 Gospel Meeting Starts Sunday The Church of Christ is holding a Gospel Meeting August 24-27, Sunday through Wednesday, nightly at 7:30.

In -expenditures, the City expects to save $16,000 in capital outlay and they plan to save $30,750.00 in contribu- tions to the Municipal Hospital since the Hospital is now paying its own way once again. ITEMS Substantial items of income in the new budget include: $253,102.00 in taxes; $36,000 from utility taxes, $20,000 from franchise tax, $100,000 in cigarette taxes, $48,000 from garbage collection fees, $35,- 000 in gasoline taxes, $108,836 in federal revenue sharing funds and $10,000 in interest earned.

Two Sources Say FSU Biologist Is "All Wet" A charge by Florida State University biologist Robert Livingston that a proposed dam on the Apalachicola River could .spoil the legendary "Garden of Eden" has drawn rebuttals from two sources. It also has raised the question of Dr. Livingston's credi- bility as an authority on how the dam would affect the oyster industry in Apalachicola Bay. Author-attorney E. E. Callaway of Bristol first identified a 1,220 acre area north of Bristol as the site of the creation of Adam in his book, "In the Beginning." The "garden" he maintains, stretches from the confluence of the Chattahoo- chee and Flint rivers at Chattahoochee to the Gulf of Mexico. He has urged local interests to promote the area as a reli- gious, scientific and scenic attraction. Callaway this week wrote to Florida newspapers which carried a UPI story quoting Livingston. "The construction of the dam will not in any way damage the Garden of Eden, the birthplace of Adam or the place where the Ark was built," he stated. "Neither will it ruin the oyster and fishing industries in the Apalachicola area." Callaway was one of the first Florida leaders to speak out in support of the dam and full development of the river for commercial navigation. Wise development, he said, would bring better job opportunities and an improved standard of living for the people of Northwest Florida. J. C. Gissendaner, Chattahoochee business active in river development since 1938, also challenged Dr. Living- ston's assertions. He questioned the biologist's reliability in other areas as well. Gissendaner observed that the garden tract, now owned by Tallahassee interests, sits on a bluff 100 feet above the river. "The little dam could not raise the water level more than a few feet," Gissendaner said. "The dam will be only 14.8 feet high, and the water at the dam itself would be no more than about five. feet deeper than it is now." Purpose of the dam is to maintain a nine feet deep: navigation channel in the rocky area north of Blountstown. At flood stage, water would run over the dam and around a six-mile levee planned for the low (west) side of the river, covering the same swampy area it presently does. : "Dr. Livingston is way off in his warning about the^ Garden of Eden," Gissendaner said. "He may be just as far: wrong in his predictions of harm to the oyster beds." Oyster production in Apalachicola Bay increased signifi- cantly after the construction of Jim Woodruff Dam at Chat-: tahoochee. Gissendaner attributed the increase to better control of the flow of fresh water to the bay. 15 Cents Per Copy Zyski Resigns Post At Municipal Hospital THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

A EDITORIAL * Small Tax Increase Seems Necessary ._ ,,We hate to admit it, but it looks g if the County Commission can not affordd to let the taxing rate stay the ;ame this year as it was last year. It appears as if a slight increase in axes is inevitable. Of course, nothing is inevitable, ut a tax hike in Gulf County is evitable with the alternative being | e cessation of one or several arvices now offered by our. county government. 5 With cuts made which caused departmentt heads to cry, the County M s a budget with all the fat "Trimmed away which is still $92,000 F ore than the money available from last year's income sources. How can that be, you say. With ctts made at the rate stated, there should be plenty of money to finance , the budget at last year's rate, when we had plenty. The real burden on the budget is the people who work for the county and its various departments. They each received a five percent pay raise. In addition, the State of Florida this year required the county to pay the entire retirement packagee for its employees. Both Stese items took a healthy chunk of r oney. Electricity costs more, gaso- line costs more, natural gas costs 1iiore. These are items over which the county has no control except to !ease using them. z Other enemies of a balanced budgett are programs which the county has been forced into by state Sandl federal gn'iornnment There's thce ambulance service which will cost the county $23,0Q next year. An alcoholism program and participa- tion in a district medical planning cooperative is required and costs money. The county has always refused to budget payment for Medicaid patients in hospitals and nursing homes in the past. This year, they must. This costs taxpay- ers to the tune of around $10,000 a year. Extra insurance required, new regulations on ways of doing things are more expensive, etc. All adds up to more money needed or we must close up shop somewhere. Cuts have been made now to the point where further cuts would put the county in the position of not being able to furnish supplies for people on the payroll to work with. Cuts might be made in personnel, but we would hesitate to say where these would be. About the only "fat" we can see still in the budget is the salary increases for Commissioners and officials themselves, The Legisla- ture allowed them increases in salaries this year and none have seen fit to refuse to take them. In all fairness, the salaries are not out of the range of executives with the responsibilities of the various county offices. ' The only thing we can see is a tax increase. Somejpf the Commis- sioners seem to favor further cuts. The only alternative is to reduce services. Which service or services would you be willing to do without,?

This law relating to Florida Public Education Was enacted by the 1974 Legislature.

On SeptL 3, 1974, the Board approved Article XV of the School Board minutes: 2) Article XV-Continuing Contract for Transfers-"On motion by Guillot, seconded by Raffield, all voted Yes that before granting continuing contract to a member of the instructional staff, who has been on continuing contract in another district, they must have at least one year of suc- cessful service in this district. Members can then request approval by the Board. This is accordance with Florida Sta- tute 231.36." 3) After passing and: ap- proving Article 'XV, I was assured by several members of'the Board that after one year of teaching I would be placed on continuing contract, if I was rehired fdr another year. If I had been placed on continuing contract at that meeting I wouldn't have been the first person to be placed on continuing contract without teaching three years in Gulf County. The Board didn't take any action or make a decision because they said they need a recommendation from the Superintendent. They didn't receive a recommendation. Thank you, Mr. Ramsey for giving me the opportunity to express why I felt I was eligi- ble to be placed on continuing contract in Gulf County.

They saw the purse and picked it up. When Etaoin Shrdlu By: WESLEY R. RAMSEY Although it's none of our business, every- body is talking about the City Commissioners of Tallahassee for voting to double their-pay. Something which is our business is Congress trying to get a vote through to raise their pay in the face of already adequate salaries and those other perquisites and benefits which amount to a pretty penny on top of their regular salary. I see where nine congressmen have gone on record refusing the pay increase. Veteran Rep- resentative Charles Bennett is the only Con- gressman from the State of Florida who has said he will turn the pay increase back to the Gov- ernment. From what I read in the Tallahassee paper, the people of Tallahassee have about decided those now in office will not be allowed to enjoy their wage increase beyond their present term. At a time when the demand is high for tax dollars and the dollars are scarce, it doesn't seem to sit right with the hard-pressed tax payer to have his representatives in government grant themselves a healthy pay increase-a 100 percent increase in the case of the Tallahassee Commissioners. What if this happened here in Port St. Joe? What do you suppose the reaction would be if the Port St. Joe City Commission would up and vote themselves a 100 percent increase in salary? I can hear it now .. "There's not a man on the Commission who is worth $50.00 a month!" (The City Commissioners are now paid $25.00 per month). Experience has shown over the past years that Port St. Joe citizens have received pretty darn good representation in city govern- ment for that $25.00 per. If they go and raise it to $50.00, I don't know. Leather workers, tea drinkers and wine fanciers around the world share a propensity for getting cancer in one of its forms, according to research by a University of Miami scientist. It seems the tannin in all three products cause the higher incidents of cancer. I don't work with leather; neither am I a wine fancier; but a tea drinker I am. I have to have my iced tea with each meal, preferably with no sugar and about a quarter of a lemon squeezed in the tall glass. . I'm wond4eing if tle tea manufacturers will be forced to print a small message on the side of each package warning the user that the product may be injurious to their health? The article goes on to say that only the British of the large tea drinkers in the world are free from the cancer problem from the beverage. They are immune, the article says, because they use milk in their tea' and this neutralizes the effect of the tannin. I don't think a squirt of milk would taste very good in a glass of iced tea. I have continued to take my chances with cranberry sauce, sunshine, bacon, bread and other foods, so I guess I'll hasten my end and continue to flirt with disaster by continuing to drink my glass or two of tea with every meal. I see where the Vice President's mansion is about ready for occupancy.

Dumb average citizen just doesn't trust the Russians to keep their word while the enlightened leaders of our country seem to consider every communist word as the gospel truth. The average citizen is tired of the nation giving away all our advantage while requiring nothing more tangible than a communist promise in return. And everyone knows a communist promise is about as worthless as the money they owe us. Senator Stone seems to have gotten the message that Americans are interested in considering the interest of Americans first and continuing with the age-old reputation of traders, not givers. Just in case you didn't see or hear it somewhere else: Rich Shangroo of Pierre, S. D., has established a world record at the North American Buffalo Chip Flip, held in Pierre. He flipped a chip 190 feet, bettering his own former record of 149 feet. they returned home they call- ed us, assuming that we too were camping. All items were intact including the cash in my wife's wallet. Items included my daughter's orthodonic partial plate. I feel elated. And my faith in human nature, which has been so negatively viewed, has been lifted by leaps and bounds. I wanted to let you know so that you could cancel the ad for this week. Feel free to share this good news with your readers if you think they'd be interested in a story of posi- tive values. Thank you, Sincerely, Warren H.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 21. 1975 ' .- , Schools Ask Parent Aid In New Dress Requirements Grab Gar Dusty May and Danny DeWitt, shown in the photo above, killed this big gar while spear fishing last Friday afternoon at the City Pier. The two boys and several companions. spotted the fish in the vicinity of the pier and went after him with their spear guns. "We'd been after him for quite a while," Danny said. "He's been swimming in the area around the pier for several months." That long sharp-pointed mouth was full of long, sharp-pointed teeth. Star Photo Mrs. McCrdy Willia W.

Clair ' There is a story told from- a children's hospital in South America where ever- y afternoon a child's.voice would ring out in concert. His songs could be heard throughout the corridors of the large hospital. Weeks passed, his sing- ing improved-months went by and the singing began to take on a profes- sional quality that was rarely found. By the end of the year-all the people in the hospital found them- selves waiting for the boy to sing at his usual hour. Finally the boy left the hospital, and eventually went on to become a great and beloved concert singer. People throughout his country flocked to hear him sing. The boy was a victim of polio, and the doctors had recommended he sing to strengthen his lungs. At first the child was merely following orders-then he began to feel his songs... the people who listened began to feel the magic cf his voice. They loved him so that they later made him a national idol. Our thought to remem- ber: LOOK, FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE-IT IS AL- WAYS THERE!

Circle, joined the :.Marine Corps August 4 under two enlistment programs. ' According to his recruiter, Staff Sergeant Calvin Barth, he will be assigned to a Marine mechanical-electrical school on completion of recruit train- ing at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C. He also joined under the 180 Day Delay program which permits him to postpone his departure for recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit depot, Parris Island, S. C. up ltoisix months. On September 23, he will begin his active duty. The 180 Day Delay program has an added financial benefit because a Marine's first pay. raise begins four months from the day he enlisted. This time continues to count for longe- vity pay purposes and towards the completion of his total military obligation. Private McKiernan, who at- tended Port St. Joe High School prior to his enlistment, is expected to be home on leave about 11 weeks from the day he leaves for Parris Island. ama City has been added to his staff for the purpose pri- marily of assisting predomi-f nantly rural areas and small towns to take advantage of federal programs now offer- ing developmental assistance for rural dreaS.

Diseaseln plants -flowers By: Dr. Robert Black Urban Horticulture Writer University of Florida Many people believe that control of plant diseases al- ways mean the use of chemni- cals, but many diseases can be controlled by cultural prac- tices. Selection of plant material will greatly affect the amount of disease problems. Some- plants are very susceptible to diseases while. others have very few, if any, disease pro- blemns. The use of native plants can reduce the inci- dence of plant diseases. Some diseases such as the powdery mildews and Botrytis blights are encouraged by, high humidity in plantings. Losses can be reduced by not crowding plants. Thin the plants to permit free air cir-. culation and allow sunlight to' reach the lower parts of the plants and soil. Diseased branches and shoots should be removed and Antley to Give Concert Bob R. Antley will give an organ concert at the First United Viethodist Church in Port St. Joe on Friday even- ing, August 29 at eight p.m. EDT. Bob is formerly of Port St. Joe, having finished high school here in 1965. His: parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Antley live in White City. Bob teaches music at FAMU Uni- versity in Tallahassee. His many friends here will remember his ability in the music field, and will be anx- ious to hear him perform in concert. There will be no ad- mission charge, but a free-will offering during the concert will be taken. Remember the date of the concert, Friday evening, Aug. 29th at eight p.m. in the First United Methodist Church. burned before a disease can spread. In routine pruning, always remove diseased or unthrifty growth first and then prune to develop and shape the tree or shrub. . Many disease organisms carry over from one season to the next on fallen leaves. It is advisable to collect and dis- pose of this diseased foliage. Do not include diseased mat- erial in the compost heap because of the danger of sur- vival of disease organisms and subsequent spread. The maintenance of'a bal- aniced fertilizer and water program generally produces plants which have some resis- tance to plant diseases. Some diseases. such as certain can- kers are more prevalent on "plants that are unfed or suf- fering (rom- drought. How- ever, other diseases such as rusts and powdery mildews are more severe on succulent growth. High fertilizer con- tent, especially nitrogen, and abundant moisture will favor these diseases. Excess soil moisture may also lead to root rot problems. When a disease problem develops in a planting, parti-- cularly of annuals or succu- lent perennials, the gardener should consider moving the planting to a new location. This is the same as crop rota- tion that is commonly prac- ticed by farmers. It permits the plants to grow in soil re- latively free of disease or- ganisms and also hastens the natural decline of these di- sease organisms in soil where, they have built up because of the growth of susceptible plants. Plant in a location suitable for the plant. Don't put shade- loving plants in exposed situa- tions or sun-loving plants in the shade. Also, avoid ex- tremely wet or dry locations unless plants are suited to these conditions. Many root diseases are favored by wet soils. Creating good drainage may reduce the severity of .these diseases.

As women's lifestyles have changed, so has the social security program. Robinson explained how the protection women have under social security-both as dependents and as workers-has in- creased over the years.

C. Player. Others pre- sent were: .George Y. Core, Clerk; ,Jerry Gates, Finance Officer'; C. E. Daniell, Mos- quito' Control Supervisor; Lloyd Whitfield, Road Super- intendent; Richard Lancas- ter; Civil Defense Director; Fred Witten, Attorney, and Jimmnyy Williams, Deputy Sheriff. The meeting came to order at 7:30 p.m. Comm. Money opened the meeting with pray- er, followed by the pledge to the flag.- The minutes from the meet- ings of July 8, July 16 and July 17, were read, approved and adopted. E. F. Gunn, President, St. Joseph's Bay Country Club, appeared before the Board and asked the Commission if it had made a decision on the club's 'request for considera- tion in tax assessment under F.S. 193.461. The Chairman answered' that the Attorney will advise the Board as to this request and a decision will be made at that time. Robert B. Nations presented a preliminary subdivision plat of St. Joseph Bay Estates, Unit One in Section 36, T8S, R11W, and requested tentative approval in order that work can commence on the official plat. After much discussion, the Chairman announced that the Board requires, time to study the proposed plat; that the Board will meet on July 23, at 7:30 p.m. for final action on this request. Pursuant to notice to re- ceive bids for repair parts for the Mosquito Control D5 Trac- tor, the following bids were received: May Machine Company, no bid; Burford Equipment, 2 ex- change idlers, $284.00, 2 link assemblies, $1,300.00, .and 18 segments, $350.00, Total, '$1, 934.00. Gulf Track Company, 2 ex- change idlers, $375.41, 2 link assembies, $1,270.31, 18 seg- ments, $210.28, total $1,856.00. Upon motion by Comm. Player, seconded by Comm. Money, and unanimously car- ried, the bid of Gulf Track Company was accepted. The Clerk was requested to place purchase order for said parts. Road Siuperintendent Lloyd Whitfield reported that Bobby Lee Borders is. requesting the county stake off the right of way on a road running by his property. The Board tabled this matter for further study. Richard Lancaster, Civil Defense Director, requested the Board -reconsider his ten- tative budget adopted at the worksession. He stated he had another budget proposal he would like to present. Comm. Money stated he thought the Board had cut the Civil De- fense budget too much and had asked Mr.' Lancaster to appear back before the Board.. Comm. Money said he didn't believe a $4,000 operating budget for a department with salaries of $11,000 was very much to operate on. Mr. .Lancaster said he could not operate under the budget adopted ty the Board. Chair- man Otis Davis, Jr.' said he believed the budget was real- istic as adopted by the Board and the Civil Defense could live with it as adopted. The Board then accepted Mr. Lan- caster's proposal for study. After study, Comm. Owens said he thought the budget was adequate as previously adopt- ed and the Civil Defense De- partment cold be operated as cut. Comm. Player's said everyone's budget had been cut except the Sheriff's and the Board might have to cut some of the other budgets more than they did originally. Chairman Davis said that he felt the Civil Defense could be added to the Sheriff's Depart- ment and save the county a lot of Inoney since the Sheriff was always present at any disas- ter. Comm. Money said he was willing to give up his 10 cents a mile for travel to provide money for an increase in the. budget., Mr. ,Lancaster said the Board was not representing him as a taxpayer if they were in favor of combining Civil Defnese with the Sheriff's De- -partment or doing away with it. Comm. Money said he was not in favor of eliminating the Civil Defense Department or cutting the budget as much as the Board had. Comm. Money * then moved the Board tenta, tively adopt/the proposed bud- get as presented by Civil De- fense Director Richard Lan- caster with the option of cutting it back later if the millage had to be raised. The motion ,died for lack of a second. Comm. Money said he had a request for a ditch to be cleaned in Highland View at Fifth and Hayes. Comm. Player said he had a request for a pipe to be cover- ed at Ward and Georgia at St. Joe Beach, and he also report- ed a culvert was broken at Rudolph Kirkland's. Chairman Davis reported that Vernell Armstrong is re- questing completion of work on a ditch and dirt removal from a borrow pit donated to the county. The Clerk presented the tentative budget for the am- bulance service which re- quested $16,419.00 for ambu- lance service at the south end of the county and $6,750 for the ambulance at the north end of the county. Chairman Davis said the ambulance service should transfer patients from one hospital to the other only on. an emergency basis. Comm. Owens stated that the ambulance squad needed a back-up ambulance to handle two emergencies occurring at the same time. Port St. Joe squad chief told the Board that 'tilities could be cut'from the budget in the amount of 1,bS50 " and that if any other items were cut he recommended the Board cut the malpractice and life insurance. After further discussion, Comm. Owens moved the Board tentatively adopt a budget of $6,750 for the Wewahitchka ambulance ser- vice and $15,369.00 for the Port St. Joe ambulance service. Comm. Money seconded the motion and it passed unani- mously. Upon motion by Comm. Owens, second by Comm. Money, and unanimous vote, the Board approved purchase order 1217 in the amount of $1,235.00 for the Port St. Joe ambulance squad and pur- chase order 1218 in the amount of $192.10 for the Wewahitchka squad. In other business, the Board agreed not to allow the state rdad department to transfer palm trees from Highway 98 to other highways in the state; agreed-to seek signatures on the right of way easement on Stokes Dead Lakes Road; agreed to request the state road department to continue its efforts to obtain right of way on Chipola Avenue in Wewahitchka. Upon motion by Comm. Owens, second. by Comm. Money, and unanimous vote, the Board agreed to make budget amendments in the Road and Bridge budget. Copies of these amendments are on record in the Clerk's office. Upon recommendation by Comm. Owens, the Board directed the Road Superinten- dent and Mosquito Control Supervisor to keep an inven- tory of tires according to serial numbers with a record of assignment to each vehicle. In addition, the Superinten- dents were instructed to keep an inventory of batteries by having the date of purchase permanently stamped on each battery. Also, Comm. Owens said he felt any purchases Ernest Thursbay Is now a member of the Sales Staff of Tommy Thomas Chevrolet 705 W. 15th St. Panama .City Phones 785-5221 Panama City 648-7900 Mexico Beach Call Ernest for all your new or used car needs should be approved by the Road Superintendent for the Road Department.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1975 Increase Noted In Bond Sales Sales of Series E and H United States Savings Bonds in Florida were $101.2 million during the first six months of 1975. The state attained 64.1 per cent of its 1975 sales goal giving full consideration to the Commission's request to re- duce the new budget by 10 per cent; that he reduced every item in his new budget to a very minimum. He asked the Commission to please keep in mind that his food items for the prisoners, gasoline, oil, auto and equipment parts, mechanic's fees, and every other article that is pur- chased, plus the fact that for the first time this budget must pay all of the retirement bene- fits and the U. S. Government is now requiring special wage consideration for overtime work. Lengthy discussion followed after which the Board request- ed the Sheriff to reduce his budget to the very lowest re- quest possible. The Sheriff said this has already been done in the budget before the Board at this time, and further stated that his budget is not adequate for his needs next year and he is now informing the Board that the 1975-76 bud- get will call for an increase to provide items that have been omitted from this budget. The Chairman called for re- commendations as to this budget, and there being none, the meeting adjourned. Otis Davis, Jr., Chairman Attest: George Y. Core, Clerk June 30.
