February 6, 1950 MEMO TO BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERF° In a recent meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Nunbil of the City of Vero Beach discussion was had with respect to the use to be made of the old Vero Beach bridge after the construction of the new bridge. At that time it seemed to be the concensus of opinion that the City might wish to acquire from the State Road Department some portion of the existing bridge structure to be used as a fishing pier or dock. At the same time discussion was had with respect to the land forming the bridge head on each shore of the present existing bridge. It was my recollection in examining Abstracts of Title on the East shore, that there appears of record a Deed conveying a strip of land 100 feet square to the old Vero Bridge District for purposes of a bridge head on the East shore. It is probable that the same area for bridge head exists on the West shore. Since the City owns all of the property surrounding the bridge head, the City would like to know whether or not the County would be agreeable to conveying the East Bridge head to and the City/at the same time convey to the City any part of the West bridge head not required for the new bridge. Sherman N. Smith, Jr. A certified copy of Resolution duly adopted by the County Democratic Executive Committee setting out the party assessment levied against the various candidates in the Democratic Primary Election to be held Tuesday, May 2, 1950, was received and carefully noted. The Board then proceeded to make levies against the various offices to cover the cost of holding such Primary Election in May, the assdssments so levied being as follows: Democratic Executive County Committee Assessments.
