CARTER AND ENGINEER LLOYD EMPHASIZING THAT WHETHER THE STREETS WHICH ARE BUILT TO COUNTY STANDARDS, ARE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE, THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL PAYING TAXES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STREETS. CHAIRMAN LYONS COMMENTED THAT HE WAS BEGINNING TO DEPART FROM HIS FORMER SUPPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATOR`S POINT OF VIEW BECAUSE THESE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE A PART OF THE COUNTY ALSO, AND HE NOW FELT THE ROADS WOULD HAVE TO BE ACCEPTED.
