itHIRT-y-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 4 IE STA Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest. Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1973 * a TEN CENTS A COPY In $250,000 Damage Suit Judge's Ruling Favors Gulf School Board Laura Geddie, Supt. David Bidwell, William Linton Read Order .J. S. District Judge David Middlebrooks made his ruling this week in the $250,000 suit against the Gulf County School Board by a former instructor in the system, Melvin Moore: The Judge ruled the School Board acted-properly in the case of Moore and his wife, Mrs.' Gwen Moore and thus were not liable for the damages the former Port St. Joe High School Biology teacher was claiming. The Judge denied a request by Moore that the School Board be'forced to reinstate him under a continuing contract. Mrs. Moore .was asking for reinstatement to her position as secretary in the principal's office and this request wash also denied. Judge Middlebrooks ruled that each party in the court action should pay his own attorney's fees. Moore claimed he was due a continuing contract in the Gulf County School System 'after working on an annual contract for three years. The ,Board, however, offered Moore an annual contract at the, end of the 1971-72 school year after they said they had received numerous com- plaints of the teacher using his classroom for purposes other than the teaching of .Biology. The Board offered the, annual contract for the fourth year on a condition Moore would stick to teach- ing his subject in the classroom. Moore charged he was due the continuing contract status after serving his three years under annual contract and charged the Board was denying him his right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution. in requiring him to refrain from expressing himself in the classroom. Judge Middlebrooks ruled that due to the nature of his discussions in class, testified A meeting will be held Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the Florida Power Lounge by a group of people interested in building an artificial fishing reef in the Gulf of Mexico. iThe group has secured all necessary permits and have now secured transportation to transport the old car bodies, which will be used in the reef, out into the Gulf for dumping. Monday's meeting is to make plans for the transpor- tation process. All those interested in the reef are urged to attend. --New Plan Gives. Guf In crease In F funds TALLAHASSEE-Florida's' 67 county school districts received September alloca- tions of $69.1 million from the new Florida Education Fin-' ance Act of 1973, Comptroller Fred 0. (Bud) Dickinson Robison Crusade Jelling General chairman' Billy Norris said this week plans are beginning to jell for the, James Robison Evangelistic Crusade scheduled to begin in Port St. Joe Sunday, Oc- tober 7 at 7:30 p.m. The Crusade will be -held in the High School Coliseum. ,Norris said the committee has arranged for 5,000 seats to be available in the Coliseum to accommodate the crowds expected to come hear the noted Texas evan- gelist. The chairman said well over 500 volunteers have come forward to offer their services in the Crusade by serving as choir members, ushers and counsellors. 'me Crusade is being sponsored by laymen from all churches in Gulf County with all churches furnishing the corps of workers. SRobison and his seven man team will be in Port St. Joe conducting services through October 14. No Boycott With news of gasoline stations closing over the nation because of an inability to raise prices in face of a wholesale increase in prices, it has been cause for speculation as to whether local stations will close or not. Checking with Gulf, Stan- dard aid Shell dealers in Port St. Joe, The Star found the local- stations will not close, but will be open for business as usual as.r-ng as they have gas'to sell., announced today. The new education act was signed into law in June and is considered one of. the most important pieces of legisla- tion ever passed for the educational finance system. "The act Will make Florida a national model for school financing and influence the financing systems in other. states," Comptroller Dickin- son said. The new act, now in its fourth month, replaces the former Minimum 'Foundation Program of 1949 and allo- cates state school aid on a per-pupil basis as opposed to the old formula based on the number of classrooms.: '.'This new method of distribution will assure an equal education opportunity for, all children and allow school officials more freedom in setting. up educational programs," 'Dickinson said. Gulf County received $128,996.00 in funds as com- pared to September of 1912's $123,460.00. Franklin County received '$88,984.00 for Sep- tember of 1973 as compared to $84,890.00 received in Sep- tember 1972. Four Arrested For Night Deer Hunting Four persons were arrested late Saturday night and charged with attempting to take deer at night. Arresting officer B. P. Greene of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion stated that he found the group in the Saul's Creek area, after observing flashes of light shine across an area and constantly moving about. Those arrested were Lois and David Holman, and com- panions William and Camilla Hall, all of Panama City. Officer Greene radioed for assistance, and was helped by 'members of the Gulf County Sheriff's Department Auxiliary, who were on patrol in the area, acting as a preventive. measure against cattle theft. All four persons were released on Sunday, after posting bond of $502.00 each. Pumping Station Sends 1,000 GPM to Clarifiers to by former students, Moore had not been denied his rights since the Board had not tried to curb his statements outside the class- room., As to the continuing con- tract matter, Judge Middle- brooks noted the Board had not fired Moore, but Moore had refused employment under the status offered. The Judge noted the Board was within its rights to offer a City' Clerk Charles Brock spoke tb the Merchants Association last Friday at their regular meeting, giving them some statistics and information concerning the new Wastewater Treatment plant scheduled to begin operation here .in the city next month. Brock pointed out the City of Port St. Joe will be the owner-operator of the pollu- tion control facility which will treat wastes from the St. Joe Paper Company, Slyva- chem Corporation and the City of Port St. Joe. "The treatment plant will be one of the first of its kind in Florida," Brock said. He pointed out the facility will be paid for with charges made to he 'users of -the plant, based on their per- centage of flow of wastes through the system. Brock stated the St. Joe Paper Company will pay 96.599 percent of the costs, Sylvachem Corporation 1.642 percent and the City of Port St. Joe 1.759 percent. "These charges are being set on estimated flow figures and will be adjusted at the end of a year after some experience of operation can more accurately set the actual percentages of use. Brock pointed out the City saved about $242,499.25 in the purchase of equipment by buying it themselves before construction started. The City purchased $1,985,171.69 worth of equipment before the construction bid was let. The contract was bid in February of 1972 with a contract for $4,908,000 being awarded to Peabody-Peter- fourth annual contract. Mrs. Moore's suit for damages and reinstatement to her former position was dismissed on the grounds she was not under any contract. The judge noted that the school had changed princi- pals that same year and that Mrs. Moore had been told the new. principal had the prero- gative to hire who he wished for a secretary. sen in April of the same year. Brock said that as near as he can tell at this stage, total cost of the project will run $9,200,000. Operation will require $457,806 each year for debt service and $480,100 for operation and maintenance. Based on the projected operation and debt services costs, the City of Port St. Joe will pay $18,181 each year with Sylvachem paying $14,- 512 and the St. Joe Paper Company, $905,113. The facility covers 133.8 acres and will handle 470 million gallons of wastes. The,. plant is designed to retain all wastes for 22 days in the' treatment process. El ectric Utility Gets Loan Congressrhan Bob Sikes and Senators Edward J. Gurney and Lawton Chiles announced this week that a loan in the amount of $358,000 had been approved to the Gulf Coast Electric Coopera- tive, with headquarters in Wewahitchka. The loan was approved for the purpose of financing electric service to an addi- tional 850 customers, 75 miles of distribution line and other system improvements. The Cooperative serves all of Gulf County with the exception of the coastal area, and part of Bay County. Due to Start Operation Middle of October Testing Started On Treatment Plant Work started the first of this week on testing the various components of the new Wastewater Treatment plant. Plant manager, Bob Simon said the testing process should take about two weeks, with the plant probably getting into full operation about the middle to the latter part of October. "We don't expect any Municipal Hospital Increases Rates The Municipal 'Hospital room rates have been increased Miss Minerva McLane, Hospital Admini- strator announced this week. Charges for semi-private rooms has gone up from $28.00 per day to $30.00. Private rooms. are now $35.00 per day, which were pre- viously $32.00 and $34.00 per day. These new rates are effective immediately ac- cording to the Administrator. major problems", Simon said, although a water well, drilled to supply fresh water for the treatment process, went dry after only about an hour of operation. Simon'said he felt there was a defect in either the well machinery or the pump. He said the well driller would be in this week to solve the problem. The first testing operation is to check out the collection station at the Highway 98 overpass; its connection to the main treatment plant by the huge 42 inch main and the clarifiers at the plant itself. Operators started filling .the two huge clarifiers 'with water last Thursday. The filling operation consists of pumping water from an eight inch well into the collection station bins, then pumping through the big 42 inch main to the clarifiers at .the treatment plant. Charles Barbee, operator at the collection station said the well has been running steady since last Thursday at 600 gallons per minute to fill the clarifiers. Simon said it would take approximately 10 days. to fill the clarifiers. The size of the plant boggles the imagination. For instance, it takes the huge water pump at the collection station an hour to fill the holding tanks in the station. The powerful force pumps empty the holding tanks.' into the clarifiers through the force main in only three minutes. The clarifiers hold 10 million gallons. Simon said he had nearly a full crew to begin operation and they were now getting familiar with the system.

Worth Considering Governor Reubin Askew made5 a valid point last week when he said, "It would be nice to say that we'd never use it", (oil)) in speaking of the fact that drilling for oil off the shores of Florida" iy be unavoid- able. He went on to say, "But Flor- ida is a 'user' state, using more than it produces, and we have to be willing to help find a final solution to the shortages". The point made by Askew has never been brought out ,before and is well worth considering, . Florida is definitely a state which requires a lot of energy even if one considers only the energy we need to bring tourists to our state and send them off home again after we have fattened our economy con- siderably while the tourist enjoyed himself. There are other uses of en- ergy also-manufacture of electricity to run the air.'conditi6risc 6t hes tourists cool-and the light'fob then ' to-get around to the many places in which they spend money.

James pointed out that five large corporations own 83 percent of the land in Franklin County and pay only 19 percent of the county's ad valorem taxes.

During the regular meeting of the Mexico Beach Council, 11 September 1973, the trea- surers report was read and Mayor Charles Guilford,. ask- ed for a motion to pay for expenditures for the month ending 31 August.

RAMSEY The battle of the sexes last Thursday night was more of a shouting up of a loud mouth than it was a battle. There was hardly a battle at all for Billie Jean King to put Bobby Riggs down in three straight sets. Bobby put up a good show and tried to corn Billie Jean into defeat through psychology, but he failed to follow up with his tennis racket. I was rooting for Billie Jean. The female commentator working with Howard Coselle re- marked she didn't think Bobby's Clairol would stand up under the evening of play. As it turned out, the Clairol lasted just fine but Bobby didn't. Which all goes to show you that big words, Clairol, youth-oriented clothing and a refusal to accept an affinity for a rocking chair" are not enough to erase 55 years. About the only battle we saw in the nearly two hour match was the battle Bobby Riggs was having just finishing the third and final set. Robert Schwabach a writer for Knight News- papers wrote a column about me the other day. The subjects of his column were those of us who hate to get out of bed in the morning. Schwabach presented the views of two psychiatrists as to whether this is a bad sign or not. The only bad thing about it, we must point out at the begin- ning, is having to get up. I don't mind getting up at all. HAVING to get up bugs me. Having to get up before I am ready bugs me more. The writer pointed out that those of us who like to linger under the covers just a minute or two longer can take solace in the fact that we have the company of famous men. Rene Des- cartes, the French philosopher and mathemati- cian, once remarked that he owed his best ideas to the fact he never got out of bed before noon. Mark Twain observed that the human ani- mal was just not meant to get up in the morning -otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult. .On the other hand Philadelphia psychiatrist Dr. 0. Spurgeon English, says we can't get up in the morning because we don't want to get up in the morning. That's some deep thinking there. Dr. English goes on to say, "People don't like to get up in the morning if they don't like their lives, if they don't like what it is they are going to go out and do. A child will want to get out of bed as soon as he wakes up-if the world outside is pleasant for him, if he thinks he's going to enjoy himself. The same is true for adults." This high-powered psychiatrist may have just hit on something here. But he still isn't giv- ing us the whole reason. The reason adults hate to get up is they know they are going to have to earn the money to pay for that enjoyment-both for him and the child. But, for whatever the reason, I'm going to continue waking up each morning a while before I plan to get up, just so I can lay in bed a little longer and read my morning newspaper. To set the record straight, the only thing I don't like about what I do each day is-getting up in the morning. Some joker keeps calling me about the oil drilling in Gulf County back in the 1940's. He won't tell me his name. "You just keep on trying to figure it out", he says. He says, he is a friend and he likes to read the paper, so, as far as I am concerned, he can go on remaining anonymous on the phone, as long as he is a friend. It's a bet- ter feeling knowing you have friends you are not acquainted with than it is knowing you have ene- mies you are not acquainted with and who keep reminding you of the fact. I was glad to see the President veto the hike in the minimum wage. Not because it would force many people to work at a lesser salary, since we believe that in today's scarce labor mar- ket, labor will be paid every penny they are worth if their employer is desirous of keeping their ser- vices. What the higher minimum would do is to further increase the difficulty of young boys get- ting a job to earn some spending money and earn a trade or a skill at the same time. This could and is getting to be an expensive proposition to every taxpayer in the country. If you don't think so, just take a look at the job training programs the public schools are being forced into in order to train kids who do not plan to go to college to earn a living. In Florida alone, there is over 300 such programs, all supported by tax dollars. Kids must learn to make a living some way or other, and we believe the work experience is best and least expensive when it is done on the job.

Roche's Furniture and Appliance 209 REID AVENUE New School Program Described to Kiwanis Career Education is being introduced into the Gulf County School system and those responsible for its operation, Frank Barnes and Zack Wuthrich, appeared before the Kiwanis Club Tuesday to explain just what it was. Barnes explained that the home has historically been the place to influence a child in the choice of a vocation. "This is no longer the case", Barnes said, since both parents now work in most cases and do not have the time to spend with their children they formerly had. -';Barnes pointed oatt it costs $85 billion a year for education, or eight percent of the gross national product, or a total of $12,000 to $13,000 to educate a child from grades one through 12. In 1971, 3.7 million children left school. Of these, 2.5 million had no saleable skills. It cost the Government $30 billion to rehabilitate these individuals. "Our aim", Barnes said, "is to start the child thinking about his vocation in the first grade and guide him toward that goal, so if he quits school, he will have some idea about what he wants to .do and will not 'float' around being a burden on the tax payer. We feel this method will be cheaper than what we have now.." Wuthrich explained the business, the Board adjourn- ed to meet again October 2, 1973 at 5:30 p.m. EDT. ATTEST: J. David Bidwell Superintendent Gene Raffield Chairman program is designed to let students see just what adults do in their jobs and how they go about them. Then the program is designed to guide the student in choosing a vocation in later years and guide his study material toward com- plimenting that decision. "We also help a student to learn how to go about looking for a job. Our goal is to get a student ready to enter the job market or to prepare him to go further in his job prepara- .tion," Wuthrich said. witnricn adia statistics show that of 100 children who enter first grade ,in West Florida, 50 will graduate from high school and five will go on to earn a degree in an institution of higher learning.

Sharks were able to com- pletely dominate the Gators well anchored as they were from tackle to tackle on the tough line. Friday night's game here wikth the Walton High Braves of DeFuniak Springs showed the Wewahitchka editor was- n't just making excuses. The Braves had two fine runners, but their only offensive weapon which was able to pick up yardage was the pass to a fine receiver, Aubrey Campbell. The Sharks stout defense didn't let even Campbell do his job when he came near the goal line and sent the Braves home with a 24-0 scalping. The Sharks offense was potent all night long and they gave a preview of what was to come by setting up interference on the left side of the field on the opening kick-off and springing Robert Dickens loose on an 85 yard,. run on the opening kick-off to score. The Braves were allowed only three plays after the kick before they had to punt. The Sharks started from their own 46 and marched down the field on four plays to score. The scoring drive was aided by a face mask penalty against Walton and a sparkling 28 yard dash by Dickens to the Brave two yard line. Quarterback Steve Owens sneaked over for the score again with less than Judo Course : Offered.

The Braves mounted a drive late in the first period coming from their own 27 to the 42 yard line before Ed Floore smelled out a reverse and caught the Brave runner in his own backfield for an eight yard loss. That stopped the drive, r The Braves offered their greatest threat in the second period when they threatened to score'twice, but the stout Shark defense shut the gate. Early in the stanza the Braves ,put the Sharks back on their own three yard line with a punt. Jim Moore fumbled on the 13 and Greg Waller recovered for the. Braves. On the second play Eddie Rich caught the Braves quarterback, Tommy Beasley back on the 18 and dumped him. The line went on to hold and deny the Braves a first down or score. Later in the second, the Sharks punted to the Braves 41 and again, they were on the march. Shifty Aubrey Campbell scooted through the line and secondary, but safety Russell Chason caught him and saved a touchdown.. The Braves continued to peck away at the Shark defense with their pass until Robert Dickens intercepted a Beas- ley pass oin the goal line to save the half for the Sharks. Shark halfback Carl Bailey made his ,mark in the third period. The Braves' Campbell fumbled on the kick-off and Bailey fell on it to recover for the Sharks on the Braves' 32. On the, .third play from scrimmage, Dickens took the ball from Owens, started aroundoen4, then ,spped apd lteaVed "a',-30 yard -pass, *to' Martin Adkison, at the goal line. Adkison stepped over the goal to score. The Sharks kicked off again. Again the Braves fumbled and again Carl Bailey was right there to cover the ball. This time the Sharks couldn't put the ball across and had to give it up on the Brave 12.

Use the Classified Ads Midget Investments With Giant Returns THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 1973 THE STAR, Highway Week Set Since the United States was established, nearly two cen- turies ago, highways have been our Nation's lifelines. In our early days, the .roads-crude as they were- enabled our Nation to expand until the Atlantic was linked to the Pacific. Roads symbo- lized the adverturous spirit of our ancestors as wagon trains rolled ever westward into new sections of our country. And as the highway system ,expanded, so, too, did our Nation's economy. Today, highways are a vital connecting link in America's balanced trans- portation system. They are essential to the achievement of bur economic and social goals. And they continue to manifest the American spirit of independence, enabling us to come and go when and where we please. At the same time, highway transportation poses new challenges today that can be met only by determined and imaginative effort. We must work to enhance the efficiency of all transpor- tation so that we can better conserve our fuel supplies and reduce urban congestion. 'I urge all -Americans to join in this effort, to make use of public transportation and carpools wherever possible, and to otherwise save motor fuel. We must harmonize high- way transportation with our environment so that we can more fully enjoy the bless- ings of nature and .the works bof man. All of us must do our very best to prevent highway accidents, reducing the unac- ceptable price we pay each day in death and suffering on our roadways. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973, which I recently signed into law, will provide a major tool in meeting these challenges by giving State and local officials a broader range of alternative solutions as they address their .trans- portation requirements. Only by meeting these challenges today can we continue to enjoy the full benefits of our highway system tomorrow. Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 23, 1973, as National Highway Week.

Beach Urges Use of New Belts The Port St. Joe High School Band is sponsoring a candle sale for the purpose of raising money to repair the instruments at the high school. The candles will be priced between $1.00 and $7.50, and-are great ideas for gifts. Band students pictured left to right are: Janet Sutton, Beth Ely, Susie Garrett, Anita Mamoran, Mark Lamberson, Jim McNeill, Donna Richards, Bill Wall and Pam Hammond. TALLAHASSEE-The Flor- ida Highway Patrol today expressed the hope that the new U. S. government required safety belt interlock system on all 1974 cars will reduce fatalities and serious injuries in automobile crashes. New standards set by the government require that all 1974 cars be equipped with a system requiring the safety belt to be fastened before the car can be started. Patrol Director Colonel Eldrige Beach asks that, "Drivers give the new system a fair chance to prove its value before criticizing it."' Studies have shown that safety belts will reduce injuries and deaths in most crashes if they are worn properly. Safety experts believe that 10,000 to 20,000 of the 55,000 lives lost yearly in the United States could be saved if everyone had to wear safety belts. Three countries, Australia, Puerto Rico and France have: laws at the present time making it mandatory that people use safety belts. Colonel Beach concluded by urging everyone to make an honest effort to wear their safety belts while driving whether in a 1974 car or not and help prove that 55,000 people need not die on our nation's highways each year.

After fur- ther discussion, Commission- -er Money moved that the Board acquire .a survey of streets and alleys on the water side of Highway 98 that the Board. has proof of ownership according to plats or deeds. Such survey shall begin at the south side of Third Street according to the Beacon Hill Subdivision Plat and extend southward to the beacon light. Comm. Player seconded the motion. The motion passed as Commis- sioners Player, Money, and Chairman Davis voted yea. Comm. Graham .voted nay. The Chairman instructed the Attorney to take neces- sary steps to acquire the survey. In addition, the Chairman agreed to contact the owner presently .con- structing the house in ques- tion, requesting a halt in the construction until such time as the disagreement is settled. Lawrence Miller, repre- The Board of County Com- missioners of Gulf County, Florida, met on September 18, in special session with the following members present. Chairman A. Lamar Davis, Eldridge Money, Walter Gra- ham and S. C. Player. Comm. T. D. (Doc) Whitfield was unable to attend. The Attorney, Sheriff, and Deputy Clerk were also present. The Attorney opened the meeting with prayer. Frank Lull, representing several homeowners at Bea- con Hill, requested the Board halt construction of a home being built in front of Third Street at the beach. The delegation contended that the street extended across High- way 98 towards the water and thus this, home was being built in the middle of publicly owned property. Comm. Gra- ham said, according to the State Road Department plat, the road in question does not extend across Highway 98.

By letter, he then offered the Board a 1974 vehicle with identical specifi- cations and the same bid price agreed upon .in Feb- ruary, with delivery to be October 3, 1973. The Board accepted this offer.- Chairman A. Lamar Davis then announced that the purpose of this special meeting was to adopt a resolution for the establish- ment of a bulkhead on Money Bayou and State Road No. 30 at Bridge 14-S. The Attorney then read a letter dated August 3, 1971, from. Robert A. Routa, Chief of'urvey and Management, De prtment of Natural Resourcee, to Stead- man Carroll, District Right of Way Engineer, Florida De- partment of Transportation stating that Marin' biologist Mickey Bryant had inspected the subject area and reports as follows: BRIDGE NO. 14-S "This bridge project pro- poses a temporary detour road and bridge crossing over Money Bayou and proposes dredging the bayou bottoms beneath'the existing wood structure for construc- tion of the new bridge. "Dredging the silty bayou bottoms beneath the old bridge would cause increased turbidity in the already turbid waters of. Money Bayou. Care should be taken to keep the turbidity increase below the maximum allow- able Jackson units. If the turbidity exceeds this limit, then a 'diaper' or some other effective control measure should be used to alleviate the condition. SpoiL from the dredge work should be placed on upland and not on nearby .,marshpes he. proposed temporary road fill crosses an upland site of pines, cabbage palms, and wax myrtle -east of Money Bayou, but. west of the bayou it crosses a cord grass and black rush marsh and a small tidal stream that opens into a larger cord grass marsh. The intertidal marsh invest a billion dollars for new construction to meet the growing demand for power. And this money must come from investors. That's why it's so important that clorida Power maintain adequate earnings. If we can't show a fair return to investors, it will_ become exceedingly difficult to get the money needed to continue construction of vital facilities. If we can't get the money, even crossing our fingers won't help. Florida Power in question. The Board received em- ployment applications from Dona Kay Collins and Mar- garet Louise Hamm. Upon request of the Civil Defense Director the Board agreed to add insurance of $46.00 for the tower and base-station to the policy carried by the Board. The Civil Defense Director informed the Board that his projected IBM copier expen- se would be four cartons at $90.00 each or $360.00 for the coming budget year. The Civil Defense Director informed the Board that THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. areas provide valuable marine habitat- and should be conserved. "Marine life observed in the project area were killi- fish, small mullet, fiddler crabs, hermit crabs, and blue crabs. Birds found frequent- ing the area were the great ,blue heron, Louisiana heron, and snowy egret. "If the temporary detour west of the bridge was reduced in length about 100 feet to conserve marsh bottoms and a culvert was installed to allow intertidal flow to continue to the cord grass marsh west of the project, then construction plans for Bridge 14-S would not have significant adverse effects on marine biological resources. Immediately following, the Attorney read another letter from Mr. Routa to Mr. Carrol dated July 10, 1972, contain- ing a revision of the biologi- cal report of August 3, 1971, as follows: Bridge Project 14-S, Depar- tment of Transportation, SR 30, Gulf County. According to Charles Dunn, District Design Engineer for the Department of Transpor- tation, the temporary detour route will not include the .small intertidal creek which connects a cord grass marsh with Money Bayou. Since this creek will not be disturbed by the proposed detour route on the west side of the bayou, the project should have only limited adverse effects on marine biological resources if spoil is placed on uplands. The Attorney then present- ed proof of publication to the Board showing the public hearing had been published three (3) times lfior to this meeting. Upon rhotion by Comm. Graham, second by Comm. Money, and unani- mous vote, the Board adopted Resolution No. 73-16, a copy of which is on file in the Clerk's office. After notification from the Tax Assessor that the tax roll had been returned from the Department of Revenue, the Chairman set October 4, 1973, as the meeting date for the Tax Adjustment Board and directed that the advertise- ment and meeting be con- ducted strictly according to the statutes. Commissioner Money told the Board he would like to make the following recom- mnhdations to be--stf' in preparing building specifica- tions for Gulf County. The recommendations were as follows: 1) All buildings and protru- sions should be at least 75 feet from the mean high water level and 30 feet from any state road right of way. 2) There should be at least 20 feet between buildings. 3) A building permit should be issued from the Board of County Commissioners thirty days prior to any construc- tion. The general consensus of the Board was that state regulations are adequate for development in Gulf County. Commissioner Money said he felt the Board should set a time limit on the meetings and have an agenda for each meeting. The Chairman said the idea was worth studying, however, any items needing further study could now be tabled at any time during any meeting. Commissioner Graham told the Board he has received a request for two loads of shells at ,Money Bayou to allow passage to the beach. Commissioner Graham told the Board there are persons interested in the Board helping to construct a motor- cycle strip and drag strip. The general consensus of the Board was that is the land or leases could be acquired the Board would study the development. Commissioner Player told the Board Floye Brewton wants a driveway to his lot so he can construct a home. He said the Board owns the alley along the lot and Mr. Brewton would like to see it made passable. After discus- sion there was no action taken as the Board felt Highway 98 provides ade- quate access to the property THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 1973 PAGE ELEVEN Mary R. Weston was now a qualified Clerk-Typist II, and he requests her salary be increased to $2.54 per hour, retroactive to September 1, 1973, at which time the class- ification became effective. Comm. Money moved that this pay scale be adopted for Mary R. Weston effective September 1, 1973. Comm. Graham seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Board received notifi- cation of public hearings to be held by the Dept. of Pollution Control in Tampa on September 25, 1973 and in Tallahassee on October 16, 1973. The Board received a letter from the Board of County Commissioners in Seminole County requesting the Board aid in securing an Alcoholic Beverage Sales Tax for use in implementation and opera- tion of programs as set forth in the Myers Act. The Board received the Environment Land Manage- ment Study Committee's Summary Report now on file in the Clerk's office. The Board received a request from the Sheriff's Department that his contin- gency funds of $6,706.00 be released. Comm. Player moved this requisition be honored according to the Florida Statutes. Comm. Money seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting ad- journed. A. L. Davis, Chairman ATTEST: George Y. Core Cpl.
