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.

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

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.

the local- stations will not

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.

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.

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

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

Several counties in our section
-are up in arms because their valua--
tions have gone up tremendously on
-property. This happened in counties
: which were. mostly assessed at very
:low values. In Franklin and Gads-

.crease in valuations was nearly 100
-percent. The tax payers are natur-
;,ally disturbed about it. They would
,be in Gulf County, too, if this were
:the case. ,
We noted in the papers where
'Franklin County's Assessor, Johnny
James is going after the favorite tar-
get as the cause of this situation-
the Green Belt law.
In our neck of the woods, when
one says "Green Belt" he is almost
invariably aiming at St. Joe Paper
Company. There are others in the
state affected by the Green Belt law,
too. It wasn't written for St. Joe
Paper. Company, though it was writ-
ten for all land owners.
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.

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.

Landscaping means differ-

"planning and developing

make the best use of the
space available in the most
attractive way"' Your hdme

can give it and your family

Proper planning is the key
to landscaping. Every square
foot of space and every dollar
should be used to produce
maximum returns. In many
cases, the skilled landscape
architect should be con-

out of the question or you

Secondly, inventory all the
features-good and bad-of
your lot. What existing trees
can be used as part of the
design? Are there good vistas
you need to keep open and
unattractive views which
should be screened? Will
utility areas need to be
hidden? What type of soil do
you have and does it need to
be amended with organic
matter, fertilizer, etc. You

that as many of these as pos-

SRambles
.By W. C. Roche


When you're young, you think money is the most
important thing in life. When you're middle-aged, you're
sure of it.

Unemployment is just a rumor circulated by a lot of
pe;le out of work.

Experience is what you have left after you've pulled
the boner.

Have you noticed how every time you make your
mark in the world, the tax man comes along with an
eraser?

Our friend is trying to think of a winter vacation
less expensive than last year's. Last year he stayed
home.

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

ed to meet again October 2,

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.

game with the Wewahitchka
Gators, Gulf County Breeze
editor Ed Bandjough said the.
Sharks were able to com-
pletely dominate the Gators
well anchored as they were
from tackle to tackle on the
tough line.

of DeFuniak Springs showed
the Wewahitchka editor was-

The Sharks offense was

gave a preview of what was

Dickens loose on an 85 yard,.

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

Owens sneaked over for the
score again with less than

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.
Walton couldn't move ei-
ther, and a short punt gave
the Sharks the ball again on

the Brave 37. Seven plays
later, Robert Dickens bulled
over from the six inch line to
give the Sharks their final
score of the night and defeat
the Braves 24-0.
The Braves didn't quit
though. Late in the last
quarter quarterback Beasley
went to the Shark 11 on a fine
seven-yard run. A penalty put
the Braves back on the 16.
Then Anderson scooted
around end to the five. With
only four yards to go for a
score and 39 seconds left on


the clock, Carl Whittle broke"
up a Beasley pass to end the
game.

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. I


Cash SS Checks Quickly


Social security checks
should be cashed within a
reasonable time to prevent
loss or theft, even though
there's no time limit on
cashing them, according to
Robert Latta, Social Security
Representative for Gulf
County.
"If your check is lost or
stolen, get in touch with your
nearest social security office
at once," Latta said. "The
check can be replaced, but it
takes time. Handle your
check carefully when you get
it and you won't have to wait

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.

streets is that area have been
numbered wrong. 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

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.
He added that the confusion
is compounded because the

senting Cook-Whitehead
Ford, Panama City, Florida,
apologized to the Board in
person for the -delay in
delivery of the 1973 4-wheel
drive truck ordered for the
Mosquito Control Department
in February. 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.

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

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
