It was also decided that our Attorney would contact the Whittier's attorney, Mr. Cooksey and see if he could work something out with him so that he could represent the County as well as the Whittier's. That way the County and the Whittier's would share the cost and it would not cost either party so much. A Resolution was presented to the Board by Mr. Ralph A. Profeta, Sr., President of the Indian River County Contractors Assn. in which they requested that the County adopt a building code for the County and also requiring examination of contractors similiar to the examinations required by the City of Vero Beach.

After considerable discussion in the matter the Board said they would notify the road contractors to meet with them on Friday night at 7:30 P. M. in the Courthouse and see if they could come to some sort of agreement. Mr. Harold S.
