Gulf Commission Stands Its Ground


The Gulf County Commis-
,.. ,... sion stood its ground on its
".' decisionn to hire one full-time
.man to operate its Civil De-
fense and Veterans Service
office Tuesday night, in the
face of the heavy guns of a
petition reportedly signed by
'934 people asking them to
revert to the former style of
operation of the two depart-
ments.
STheCommission's main op-
position to their move came
from veterans groups here in
Port St. Joe. Former County

Employees of the City of

question of whether or not the
Laborers Local Union No. 1306
will represent them with the

contained 934 names and said
a joint meeting of American
Legion Posts 116 and 211 and
VFW Post 10069 had voted
unanimously to revert to the
former operation. He didn't
say how many were present at
the meeting.
Ironically, the Commission
wound up hiring the present
Veterans Service officer, Al-
bert T. Thames as their full
time man to fill both positions.
At their last meeting, the
Commission had said they
would give first consideration

and 2:45 to 4:30 P.M., with all
eligible employees being
given the opportunity to cast

ago by the city's employees.
The PERC law requires a
petition for the election re-
quest, signed by at least 30
percent of those eligible to
cast ballots.
The PERC law allows not


to the two present officers to
fill their new directorship. The
present directors are Thames
as Veterans Service officer
and Richard Lancaster as
Civil Defense Director. Lan-
caster did not apply for the
new position. He said, "I'd be
a fool to give up my job at St.
Joe Paper Company for this
job".
Applicants for the new posi-
tion other than Thames were
Norman F. Hodges, Gerald D.
Norwood, Leslie Nichols, Jr.,
and George A. Glaze.
The meeting Tuesday turn-


more than two observers at
the polling site representing
the city and the union involved
in the balloting.
If the election is successful
for the union, the workers will
be affiliated with Local 1306
and a work contract will be
negotiated. If the election does
not approve the union, there
will be no other elections
unless another petition is filed,
asking for representation by
another union.


Gissendaner Tries to Sell



River Dam to Commission


The Gulf County Commis-
sion was flooded with reasons
why they should put their
stamp of approval on a low
level dam on the Apalachicola
River Tuesday night by Chat-
tahoochee businessman J. C.
Gissendaner. His presentation
and opposition voiced by Dr.
Robert Livingston of Florida
State University and several
other citizens of Gulf and Cal-
houn County took up about
half a marathon five hour
meeting Tuesday night.
Gissendaner stated that in
'spite of the fact that the dam
faced some powerful opposi-
tion, "It would be good for this.
area. If it would not be good
for us, we don't need it".
Gissendaner said the State


Cabinet, the Audubon Society,
the ecologists, the fishermen
and oysterinen were all
against the $27 million dam,
"but all of these will benefit by
the dam", he said.,
The speaker, who said he
had worked for development
of the river system for 37
years, said the project would
consist of a one mile levee on
the east side of the river and a
six mile levee on the west side
as well as-the low level dam at
a point just below the bridge
which crosses the river at
Blountstown. He said 260
acres of woodlands would be
flooded, and would remove the
hazard of a rocky area in the
river which presently pre-
vents barges from navigating


the river about 30 percent of
the time. He said now barges
can use the system fully
loaded, about 65 percent of the
time. With the dam, he said
barges could navigate the
river 95 percent of the time.
Gissendaner said the dam
would keep the river 5.8 feet
"above normal" in the six
miles of the river involved
with the dam-levee system.
Commissioner Silas Player
asked what "normal" was and
the speaker replied it was nine
feet. He went on to explain the
dam would keep the water
depth at 14'8" in the six mile
area involved.
The dam supporter quoted
figures which he said proved
the dam at Chattahoochee


had helped rather than harm-
ed the seafood production in
Apalachicola Bay by helping
to control shell fish predators
and 'reducing pollution. He
gave figures which he said
proved oyster production had
increased dramatically from
a low of 756,000 pounds a year
to a high of 4,196.000 pounds
per year in oyster production
since the dam had been in-
stalled at Chattahoochee.
He went on to say that a
DNR representative, David
Roddenberry had said the bay
gets all of its nutrients from an
area 25 miles up the river
from Apalachicola and thus
contended the dam would not
affect the bay and its produc-
tion.
Dr. Livingston refuted Gis-
sendaner's claims by saying
he felt Gissendaner's remarks
completely misrepresented
the facts. "Our scientific re-
cords. show there has been no
change in the bacteria count in
Apalachicola Bay since the

County and we are all grateful
for having had the opportunity
to work with him. We wish him
the best in the coming years."
Linton first joined the school
system in 1936, during which
time he taught two years at
Port St. Joe High and three
years at Wewahitchka. After
serving five years with the
Corps of Engineers and the
Navy, Linton returned to Gulf
County in 1946 as the County
Veterans Service Office.
Back to teaching in '47, he
taught math and science and
coached ten years in Wewa-
hitchka's schools. During this
time, the basketball team won
three state championships and
were runners-up several
years. From 1957-65 he was
principal of Wewahitchka
High.
Linton served as the Gen-
eral Supervisor of Gulf County
schools from 1965-73 and from
1973 to the present, he has
served as the Director of Ad-
ministration for the Board.
He has been the administra-
tor of the finance office,

* ed out to be A re-play of the
meeting two weeks ago when
the Commission decided to
make their move, with one
exception-the meeting Tues-
day night had to be moved -to
the court room because of thi
large number of people who
showed up to attempt to
pressure the Commission into
changing their mind. They.
didn't succeed, however. The.
Commission stuck to its three
to two vote to make the change
and made it effective with the
first of February.
The Civil Defense group
then had their lengthy say and:
predicted everything from -a
disintegration of Civil Defense
in the county to a loss. of
federal and state matching
money. The discussion wasn't;
orderly nor without its drama-
tics. Area CD Coordinator Bob.
Jones showed a 20 minute:
slide presentation backing.
Civil Defense but never came
out with an unqualified en-
dorsement that the Commis-
sion reverse its decision and.
re-hire Lancaster.
Lancaster remained quiet
all through the meeting until
the end when he and Commis
sioner Everett Owens got into
a long distance discussions
across the room over just how
much money would be saved
by the new organization. Ow-
ens contended the county
, would save over $7,000 and
Lancaster said it would be
"less4han $3,000".
Jones said the county had
already been criticized by his
superiors for having a part
time CD director but said the
present director had been
trained and met their re-
quirements in all except time
spent on the job. "A full time
Civil Defense man can be one
of the County Commission's
most important employees",
Jones said.
Several people in the au-
dience got into the discussion.
W. C. Robinson revived the
charge that the change was
"A personal thing between
some Commissioner and Lan-
caster. Th~gsheriff was asked
the first of. the budget year to
* take the. job and he said he
would have no part of it".
J. A. Janowski asked that
the question be placed on the
ballot and let the people
express their feelings in the
matter. Janowski's suggestion
was adopted in part, near the
end of the discussion.
The Commission, on a mo-
tion by Silas Player was asked
to place the question on the
ballot and let the two Deparyt-
ments operate as they are Mnw
until that time. Chairman
Money vacated the chair to
second the motion which fail-
ed on the vote.
Later Commissioner Owens
moved the change be made
and a question be placed on
the November ballot whether
or not to revert to the old
system. This motion was sec-
onded by Commissioner Otis
Davis and it passed unani-
mously.
Lancaster then fired his
guns and charged that the
Commission was setting the
Civil Defense program back.
He said he served the CD for
15 years, mostly without pay
and he liked the work. He
again stressed that in his
opinion to Commissioner Ow-
ens that he "didn't know what
he was talking about or was
lying" when he said the move
by the Board would save the
county an appreciable amount
of money. Lancaster charged
that most of the so-called
savings were federal dollars
which were not reflected in ad
valorem taxes.
Then the Board got around
to calling for a vote on the
hiring of Thames for the
director to handle both de-
partments at a salary of $8,200
a year, with Commissioner
Davis casting a "nay" vote,
The other four Commissioners
approved the motion.

Fuqua Improperly



Maligned


Congressman Don Fuqua from
,dltha is catching flack from all sides
because of his stand on the question
f' whether or not to place a
punm-of-the-river dam on the Apala-
ihicola River near Blountstown.
Congressman Fuqua has taken
?the reasonable attitude, in our
:opinion, that he will wait for the
stdidy now being made on the effects
.f such a dam before he makes his
decision. It seems-reasonable to us
5bepause we think it is only right that
soiheone in a responsible position
gather the facts before he unloads
his powerful vote and influence in
iany situation. In our opinion, this
makes Congressman Fuqua a re-
Jsponsible lawmaker and this seems
to be a disappearing breed.
We're taking the same attitude
as Fuqua. On the surface of what we
have learned to date, we can see no
harm from the kind of dam propos-
ed. We will not express a decision on
support or non-support of the dam
until the study is complete. If such a
Sdam will not hurt what is already
'here and help in other areas, we will
:be for it. If it would prove damaging


to the recreational, seafood or
esthetic values weP place on the
Apalachicola, we will be opposed.
Many have come out opposing
the dam simply because they don't
want it on the River or just because
,it is their opinion such a dam would
be damaging. Most of the areas, of
damage concern seems to be fear of
ruining the sports fishing. We would-
n't like that either, since we like to
wet a hook and the Apalachicbla
River is our favorite spot to partake
in this activity.
Then too there are those who
think the study results will be loaded
since it is being conducted by the
Corps of Engineer. This isn't so
since there are representatives from
both sides of the dam question on the
study team and we feel there will be
a fair report. -
Therefore, we feel Congressman'
Fuqua is takirig the proper attitude
toward the dam. When the study is
over he won't have to support an
untenable position. Too many oppo-
nents of the dam have assumed the
old cliche, "Don'tconfuse me with
facts my mind is already made
up".


Tallahassee Refutes PERC


If Port St. Joe's city employees
,adopt the Public Employees Rela-
2tions union in their balloting next
,Wednesday, they will become the
first group of city employees in
Northwest Florida to do so.
Already the workers in the City
;of Tallahassee have turned the
:proposal down as not offering them
{enough benefits as opposed to the
-benefits they will toss away. If any
..group of public employees are
Familiar with the power or lack of
power of the public employees
uniono, it should be the workers of
T'allahassee who are right there
`*here the law was written and
,where the authors hang their hat.
They felt it wasn't deserving of
iOeir adoption.
Adoption of the union would
m-ake Port St. Joe's employees
-entirely dependent upon union rep-
-iresentatives and high-priced law-
.yers to negotiate whether or not they
.-could come to work an hour early so
'hey could get off early, sick leave,
ff3tirement, etc. These things have
iilways been worked out amicably
lIere in Port St. Joe between the


workers themselves and their
friends and neighbors who serve on
the Commission.
It's ironic that the Commission
is the employee of the workers in our
instance and thus, have an open door
to gain their attention to express any
grievance. With adoption of a union,
this practice would have to be
stopped. The union would do the
bargaining.
Another irony in the PERC
law governing public employees
unions is that after all the bargain-
ing is over; after the mediators have
been called in and after all the
conferences have been ended, it is
still the responsibility of the Com-
mission to have the last word in all
disputes. No bargaining or arbitra-
tion is binding if the Commission
doesn't wish to accept it.
We have always had good
relations between the people, City
employees and City officials here in
Port St. Joe. There is an open line of
communication directly between
employee and employer. We would
like to see this situation continue for
the benefit of our public employees
as well as for the benefit of our city.

Bargain hunters throughout Florida took
advantage of the Division of Forestry's tree
seedling sale held on Arbor Day, January 16.
Packages containing two dogwood, two red
cedar, two live oak, and two sycamore.trees


were sold for one dollar per packet. In Bay,
Gulf, Calhoun, Liberty and Franklin counties

Prison Camp Pain




By CHARLIE WEBB


The strength and courage of
a man could be unknown, but
inmates of local turpentine
and sawmill prison camps
knew a great deal about the
two attributes. The camps
were populated by men that
had been sentenced to the
penitentiary but whose prison
life was purchased by private
companies for commercial
profit.
The camps were an asset to
the community in repairing
the soft, mud roads connecting
two vital survival points--the
grist mill and the commissary
store. Also, the prisoners were
often called into the area to
shove back up on the house
blocks, small "shot-gun" type'
dwellings that had been tilted
over on one side during a foot
stomping good time at a
snake-oiled shindig dance,
while enjoying good old hoe-
down fiddle music..
Most companies were good
to the prisoners, but despite
the quality of mercy there was
cruelty as well. This. was
during the time of great
cheapness. Manpower was
cheap and death was even
cheaper. It has always seem-
ed that the height or climax of
cheapness becomes the true
moment of cruelty in most
human endeavors. The cheap-
ness could have something to
do with the cruelty in the inno'-
cence of the visitors who
watched the whipping of a pri-
soner within the compound of
the prison yard. ,1
An unruly prisoner was tied
to a post, stripped from the
waist up, then whipped. The
intense pain from the almost
rhythmic pulsation of injured
tissues on the prisoner's back
was shown in his face. Pain
could be no respector of guilt
or innocence and could often
show in the faces of both the
guilty and innocent.
We understood about the
pain in the invisible guilt of the
prisoners. We did not under-
stand about the pain of our in-


visible innocence that allowed momentarily downcast. Were
us to watch such inhuman the downcast eyes a facial
actions. On walking away feo expression of the intense pain
from the whipping post as of our own invisible inno-
spectators our eyes :.were cence? -- ----.

Opposes Editorial


Stand On Union


Dear Editor
Mr. Ramsey in response to
your editorial in your paper
1-22-76 about the city employ-
ees joining a union:
I think you should have
shown a more accurate pic-
ture of the situation.,
First, the people of St. Joe
should know that your editor-
ial is biased since you are a
City Commissioner and the
League of Municipalities have
for years paid lobbyists to
lobby against municipal em-
ployees having the right to
belong to a union.
Last year you say you were
forced by rising cost of print-
ing supplies to raise the price
of your paper by 50 percent by
the same token don't the city
employees have the right to
negotiate a raise to offset the
rise in the cost of living. All
raises in the cost of services
and products are passed on to
consumers.
You said in your article that
now the city employees can go
see the mayor or city commis-
sioners about any problem,
you are right, if they don't
value their job. I can tell you
of a meeting that was attended
by 5 of the employees of the
wastewater plant to inquire
about a 5c cost of living. They
were promised and did not
get. Only 3 of these people still
work there and they were
pressured, 2 was fired and all
5 of these people were from
Highland View and the word
around the wastewater plant


is that they will not hire
anyone else from H. V. You
did not touch on one of the
most important part of a job,
that is seniority. This means
that if a man is qualified for a
job and has the most time in
on the next lower job, he can
get the job. Now, if manage-
ment likes you you get the job.
If they don't like you, you
don't get the job. Another
thing, now you can be fired for
nothing more than a supervi-
sors whim, with the union they
have to have justifiable rea-
son.
As for exerting pressure,
this can be brought about by
union members all over the
city. Union brothers stand
together. All unions. So tell it
like it is Mr. Editor.

Future Business Leaders Helping Kids


"America's 200th birthday is
'Liawing closer each day. In
,-ecognition of this, members
f. the Future Business Lead-
:fts of America (FBLA) and
*bi Beta Lambda (PBL) have
:been raising larger and larger
*onounts of money toward
their cause of helping every
i:liild celebrate a happy birth
day.
-These high and college stu-
dents across the nation have
already collected over $300,000


for "Project HELP" (Health
Education Leads to Progress),
a cooperative effort of the
March of Dimes, FBLA, and
PBL, to prevent birth defects.
Members hope to raise one
million dollars by June, 1976.
"FBLA-PBLers know that
more than 200,000 infants are
born in the United States
every year with mental or
physical damage," says Mrs.
White, adviser. "Birth defects
are the nation's most acute


child health problem and the
young people want to do
something about it."
A fund raising event plan-
ned by Port St. Joe High
FBLA-PBL is door-to-door
donations. All donations would
be appreciated. Checks can be
made out to FBLS-PBL-MOD
account.
"All the students are work-
ing toward the day when the
threat of birth defects no


longer exists," says Mrs.
White, adviser of the local
club. "And what better way to
plan for tomorrow than by
doing something today."
Funds given to the volun-
tary health agency are used
for research and medical ser-
vice programs, as well as
public health and professional
education. A primary target is
reaching young people to
make them aware of the


potential hazards to their
future children of careless
eating habits, drug and alco-
hol abuse, and VD.
In addition to an educational
campaign to raise awareness
about the problem of birth de-
fects, many fund raising acti-
vities are planned in the
months ahead. The students
will sponsor jail-and-bail
days, set up road blocks, and
offer business skills to local


businessmen in exchange for
contributions to the March of
Dimes.
Members of the local FBLA
are: Areleather Henderson,
president; Brenda Young,

Sometimes I sort of get to feeling sorry
for myself, having to spend Saturday afternoon
writing this stuff, while there is nobody around to
get my narrow gauge train of thought off track.
Here I am working while others are out having a
good time. It's enough to make a person get
disgruntled at times.
Then, things happen such as happened
Saturday while I was here in the office putting
down this blurb. A man came in and said, "Could
I get a paper?". I sold him a paper then he
remarked, "I live in Thomasville and we close
each Friday at noon and come down here. My
paper hadn't come when I left Friday and I have
to have it. You have more news in your paper
than many dailies!"
That's just like throwing Pierre a piece of
steak. He likes that!
Having to work Saturday isn't so bad after
all.

It's funny what a little praise or expression
of thanks will do isn't it. Almost as good as some
of those miracle drugs the' doctors prescribe for
removing aches and pains. The big miracle is
that thanks and appreciation cost so little and do
so much good.
I admit I'm one of those miserly ones with
my expressions of thanks and appreciation. I
don't do enough of it, and I realize it. That'
doesn't mean I'm not thankful and appreciative
in the proper places, however. I am.

Thursday at Rotary Club meeting, acting
president Sidney Ellis asked Mark Tomlinson to
give the prayer of thanks before the meal. Mark
gave his prayer in his usual volume of voice and
everybody started sitting down after a slight
interval.
Dave May piped up and said, "Mark, you're
going to have to pray louder so we can hear you".
Sidney Ellis, the loquatious Englishman who
is never at a loss for words, shot right back, "He
wasn't talking to you, Dave".
Dave thought that one over and allowed as to
how Sid was right.

Thi, ..repminds...me of the speech Senator
Ec mun r Muskie made in behalf of the Democra-
tic party as their answer"rto Presidenit"Ford's
State of the Union address last week.
Senator Muskie tried his best to undercut
President Ford's suggestions as to what the
country needed in order to bring back fiscal
responsibility and strength of purpose in the
nation. Senator Muskie had other ideas and
expounded on how the Democratic party was the
only organization who could bring order out of
'chaos.
What Senator Muskie left out, was an
explanation as to why the Democrats haven't
already performed their miracle if they have the
answer. The Democrats have ruled Congress
since the days of President Truman and during
this time the 'national debt has risen to the
"affluent" neighborhood of $500 billion, our
armed forces have deteriorated, we have fought
two wars, losing both and there is anarchy and
chaos in our big cities. With the votes in
Congress, the Democrats were able to correct
these things if they could.
Senator Muskie may think the Democrats
can do a better job of occupying the White House,
but he has to come up with better arguments
than he used on nation-wide TV to convince me of
it. As a matter of fact, even though I am a
registered Democrat, I see the Democrats and
their philosophy on a national level at the root of
many of our problems.

It irritates me that when I read the list of
all-state football players I don't see a single
player from teanis like the Sharks, who could
easily have won the state championship except
for a broken shoulder and a lame ankle, and
from a team like the Chipley Tigers, who could
also have won the state championship from any
team except the Sharks.
With football players like Dilly Webb,
Theodis Lee, Jimmy Williams, Robert Farmer,
John Owens, Ronald Daniels, Ray Lawrence,
Mike Etheridge, Marcus Manning, Steve Cloud
and virtually all of the Sharks' first 14 players
should be bona-fide all-state candidates. They
should have at least been placed on the second
team. Not a one was listed and I think the people
of Port St. Joe and Chipley deserve a protest on
the selection.


sponsibilities of both, parties
fully. We understand the law.
Again, we are in the pecu-
liar position of being a City
Commissioner and as such we
can not, under the PERC law
argue with any City employee
about the matter. We cannot
threaten or intimate, nor can
we dismiss an employee for
union activities. Neither are
we allowed to misconstrue the
facts about the law. This is
also written into the PERC
law.


You see, Mr. Carroll, we are
bound by the law to tell the
truth about the law and to
know what it contains.
We hope you don't labor
under the apprehension that
we would purposely miscon-
strue the facts, especially in
light of the law prohibiting our
doing so.
Therefore, we maintain our
stand based on knowledge of
the law that the PERC would
not. benefit City employees.
-Ed.

Tree Planting Suggestions iss Whittington


By Ralph J. Edenfield,
County Forester
If Arbor Day (Jan. 16)
passed you by, and you didn't
get around to planting a
special tree, don't worry.


There's still plenty of time for
tree planting activities.
To plant your tree, you cer-
tainly will want to insure a
good start for it on the site you
have chosen. It is not enough


Memorial Resolution


By Joe St. Clair
A little five-year-old
asked her father, who was
an artist: "Draw me a
picture of love, Daddy."
"'Allright." answered l Ib.-
failihper_ i.daldr


me a pictureof the wind."
The child took the pen-
cil and began drawing
curving lines. She stop-:
ped! "I can't, Daddy, you-
can only feel the wind."
"That is the same with
love," remarked the
father.
We wonder what kind-of
world this would be if
everything had to be in
black and white,. and
"feelings" were not in-
cluded. We can only ima-'
gine but it certainly would
be lacking something.
When anyone reaches a
point that they have no
feelings for others, they
must be the most miser-
able human living.
OUR THOUGHT TO
REMEMBER: ".Our
greatest contributions
come from our hearts."

simply to dig a hole and throw
the seedling into it.
The following are sugges-
tions from the Division of
Forestry, Florida Department
of Agriculture and Consumer
-Services.
To plant a bareroot" tree
seedling, loosen the soil and
dig a hole, large enough to
accommodate the tree's root
system. Set the seedling into
the hole so that its root-collar
is at or below the ground level.
Packing the soil firmly, care-
fully fill the hole. About one
foot away from the stem, form
a circular dike and saucer
around the new seedling. Fill
this depression with a mulch
such as peat, bark or leaves.
Fill the depression with
water-letiii soak in and fill
onrice' mo e .
The above basic principle of
planting a tree also applies to
container grown or balled and
burlapped trees. For potted
trees, dig a hole somewhat
deeper and twice the diameter
of the container. The tree,
when set in the ground, should
be at the same depth it was in
the container. Always be care-
ful not to disturb the root
system during transplanting.
In planting balled and bur-
lapped trees, do not remove
the burlap. Simply loosen the
burlap to determine the origi-
nal planting depth. Place the

On Dean's List

Mary Whittington, formerly

of her outstanding academic
record.
She is the daughter of Mrs.
Iris W. Farmer of Port St. Joe.


tree in the hole, and partially
fill it with soil. ;
In all cases, the new tree
should be "watered in". That
is, a small amount of soil
added, then water supplied to
settle the soil and remove air
spaces that may damage the
root.'
After planting, maintain the
shallow depression around the
tree to catch water. Mulch-
ing is an extremely important
practice. It helps conserve
moisture, increase aeration,
keep the soil temperature
down and will add organic
material to the soil. After the
tree has become established,
water it frequently.

'January. 20 in the Flowers
Hospital in Dothan, Ala.,
Mrs. Sumner was born May
24, 1889 in Merriweather Coun-

and long at the promise of in-
dustry and shipping income
from a navigable river and
Livingston charged the area
could industrialize by con-
structing adequate rail and
highway facilities which
would draw industry away
from the river banks.
"The Apalachicola River
and bay are a unique system
in this nation", Livingston
said. "Two. things happen
when you put dams on rivers;
they attract industry and be-
come polluted from increased
sewer run-off".
George Atkins, Dr..Lindsey
Corbin and Commissioner Don
L. Whitfield of Blountstown,
Mike Dorsey of Wewahitchka
and Wayne Childers of Port St.
Joe all expressed their opposi-
tion to the dam.
The Gulf Commission stood
firm in their opposition to the
dam and remained heroes to
the many people- present;
which is more than you can
say for their rating with the
crowd in their other decision
to stand pat which came up
during the night.

investigating ways to'imple-
ment the 911 emergency num-
ber system in Gulf County.
Lamberson gave two ave-
nues of initiating the service.
One 'was for an answer and
relay system which would cost
the county $299.50 per month
and another automatic relay
system,. which would cost
$438.91 per month. Lamberson
said the county must choose a
system but did not have to get
it underway until it is install-
ed. Installation is not required
until 1979.
-Heard another request
from Lamberson that the
county issue a purchase order
for -radio equipment for the
ambulance system under a
government' matching pro-
gram. Lamberson pointed out
the matching program ends in
June and the county can turn
down the material if they
decide not to purchase. The
Commission agreed to issue
the purchase order for $34,374
and, specify delivery after
June 30, reserving the right to
cancel out.

obtain the necessary permits
from the Corps of Engineers
and the Department of Envi-
ronmental Regulations before
the new launching facilities 'it
the wayside park. on SR 22-A
can be constructed. The Chair-
man requested the Attorney to
assist the Board with these
permits.
Hon. H. 0. Pridgeon, Tax
Collector, appeared before the
Board with reference to a
newspaper article about -the
matter of the county occupa-
tional license. He assured the
Commission that he was car-
rying out the county ordinance
requiring all businesses to
purchase an occupational
license as a prerequisite to
engaging in business in Gulf
County. He said that the
county ordinance is the exact
same law (Chapter 205) that
the State operated under be-
fore the State quit collecting
this tax. In a discussion that
followed, Mr. Pridgeon in-
formed the Board that a por-
tion of the tax collected by the
county was disbursed to the
cities and at the same time the
cities also require an occupa-
tional license on the same
business. He said that if a
business refuses to pay to
secure a license, it will be-
come delinquent on December
1st, at which time the County
Commissioners would prose-
cute the business for failure to
pay this tax. The Chairman
said this matter will be tabled
for a later decision.'
George G. Tapper, appear-
ing on behalf of the Compre-
hensive Health Planning
Council of the Big Bend Area
of Florida, Inc., informed the
Board that he usually comes
urging that expenditures be
held at the lowest level possi-
ble; however, today he comes
urging the county to pay its
membership assessment in
the amount of $1,400 to the
Council. He told the Board
that at the inception of the
Council he did not fvor' the
county participating in thisj'
program; however, that it is
now apparent that this Council
is the vehicle that the U.S.A. is
using for the approval and
disbursements of all federal
medical services; that this
Council must review and issue
a certificate of necessity for
a new, or addition to, existing
medical facility before any
federal funds may be expend-
ed, including medicare and
medicare benefits to citizens
using these facilities. He said
that at the present time there
are several needed projects in
the county that must receive a
certificate of necessity, such
as: A medical doctor for
Wewahitchka, a nursing home
and the updating of services
by medical facilities already
operating in the county. Upon
motion by Comm. Owens,
seconded by Comm. Whit-
field, and unanimously car-
ried, the Board executed a
contract entering this pro-
gram. Said contract called for
the payment of $1,400 to the
Council. The Chairman said
the budget will be amended to
take care of this expenditure.
The Board entered into a
discussion with reference to
the bid received for the con-
struction of a new building to
be used as an ambulance and
civil defense generator build-
ing. The Board having re-
quested the architect to deter-
mine why the bid was so high;
the architect reported that
$24.400 of the bid was for elec-
trical wiring, mechanical and
plumbing. He said that this is
a very high price for an ordi-
nary building. He further
stated that by cutting out the
carpet, kitchen and air condi-
tioning it would save about
$7.000. The Board discussed a
new plan to separate the am-
bulance facility from the gen-
erator facility. After lengthy
discussion, there was a motion
by Comm. Owens, seconded
by Comm. Davis and unani-
mously carried, that the bid
for this project be rejected
and that the Commission get
with the architect for the pur-
pose of coming up with a new
plan to house these two facili-
ties.
The Board discussed the bid
for re-roofing the old court-
house. The architect reported
that it has been determined
that there'are six down drains


running into one collection
system and that all are stop-
ped up. He recommended that
eight new drains be installed


in new locations to take care of Planning Council. He said that

Board that the Department of

estimate.

November and its secondary
road maintenance costs for
October and November.

The Board having heretof-
fore voted to adopt Resolution
75-23, the same was executed

The Resolution stated that

20th St. to 24th St. in the City,
be paved with funds available
under Federal Highway
Amendment of 1974, for the
construction of Off-System
Federal Highways.
The Clerk reported that he
and Comm. Player attended
the Northwest Florida Plan-
ning and Advisory Council
meeting December 2, and filed
an application for a 1976 Com-
munity Development Grant
for the Oak Grove Water and
Sewer Project. Twelve coun-
ties in Northwest Florida will
compete for $1,700,000.00.
The grants will be approved
according to need as decided
by HUD, which are based on
sub-standard housing and the
poverty level.
Upon motion by Comm.
Owens, seconded by Comm.
Whitfield and unanimously
carried, the Board agreed to
close a 30' road in the SEi4,
Sec. 15, T4S, RI0W, running
from SR 22 to the old Panama
City Road, (known as the Rual
Griffin Road) and to open a
new road to replace this road,
which will be located about 12
mile west, running from the
Parker farm road to SR 22.
M. K. Ranch requested per-
mission to place spoil from a
drainage ditch on the right
of way on SR 387 at Cypress
Creek, which would be graded
and shaped to improve the
right of way in this location.
Comm. Player requested a
letter setting out the details
involved before approving this
request.
The Board discussed bud-
get items that may be trans-
ferred to an account now due
the Comprehensive Health
Planning Council in the
amount of $1,400. Comm.
Davis said this would be a
problem with the Board facing
a $5,000 cut in state funds
which actually calls for bud-
get cuts in the amount of
$6,400. Comm. Davis then
asked if the Board wanted to
consider combining the Civil
Defense and Veterans offices
into one full time position,
which would save much more

torney to prepare the proper
resolution, providing the Com-
mission takes favorable action
on matter. He said that he
heard no one make a motion
for the county to adopt a
resolution in this matter.
Comm. Owens said that he
understood that Comm. Whit-
field included in his motion to
accept the resolution, 'to also
approve the request and for
the Board to adopt its resolu-
tion granting tle request and
that is the reason he voted
against the motion. Comm.
'Davis said he was only voting
to approve the resolution. In a
discussion that followed,
Comm. Player told the Com-
mission that he has made a
study of the tax structure as to
this property, has talked to a
number of citizens and tax
payers, including members of
the club, and finds that the
taxpayers are not in favor of a
reduced tax by this organiza-
tion and that the club is not in
a financial bind at this time.
Other members of the Board
indicated that they too find the
same answers found by
Comm. Player. Whereupon,
there was a motion by Comm.
Player, seconded by Comm.
Davis, and upon vote was
unanimously carried, that his
Board not allow the tax relief
as requested by the resolution
of the St. Joseph Bay Country
Club, dated November 13,
1975.
