The County Engineer stated he had drawn up some preliminary plans for the expansion of the Courthouse on the North end, first floor only. The Board requested he get some estimates as to the approximate cost of such an addition. The County Engineer stated he had been approached by Flip Lloyd, Engineer representing a party who -could like to subdivide some five acres of land on Emerson Ave. between Glendale and Citrus on the West side. of Emerson, and that they would have to cut a drainage ditch at the back of the five acres into the Glendale ditch but that his client would like for the County to obtain the right of way for the ditch. The Commissioners stated it was not up to them to obtain right of way for drainage for private in- dividuals and that they could neither condemn any property or pay for any. However, Mr. Graves appointed Mr. McCullers to go with the County Engineer to look the situation over and report back at the next meeting. It was noted that the new 16th Street paving where it crosses Old nixie Highway has a hump in it and is Quite hazardous to traffic traveling on Old nixie Highway. Upon Motion made by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried, the County Engineer was requested to contact the State Road Department and see what could be done about having this hump removed. The several bills and accounts against the County, having been audited, were examined and found correct, were approved and warrants issued in settlement of same. Such bills and accounts being on file in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the warrants so issued from the re- spective funds being listed in the Supplemental Minute Book as provided by the rules of the State Auditor, reference to such record and the list so recorded being made a part of these minutes. The County Depositories filed their monthly statements, showing receipts and disbursements of the various funds, which have been audited and found to be correct. There being no further business, on motion made, seconded and carried, the Board then adjourned.
