Mrs. Jeannette Merriman and Mr. Leo Cahill, who were present, and after considerable discussion
and careful deliberation in the matter, it was determined by the Board that any and all excess
race track money which had been, or may be, received by the Board would be needed for rights- of -
way purchases relating to State Road #5 south of the City limits of Vero beach and extending toy
the south County line; therefore, the Board would not be in a position, although sympathetic with
the teachers program as they are, to render or grant additional financial assistance.
Mrs. Elliott and Auxier, speaking in behalf of the. Committee, told the Board
that after receiving information as to facts and figures relating to the County needs reguarding
,road rights-of-way that they were in a better position to understand and transmit such information
to the teachers and that perhaps other plans and arrangements could be made for the raising of
such additional funds for the teachers.
