first of July. The Board authorized this raise be given to Mr. Hamilton.
Mr. Schmucker also stated that he had been contacted by Rev. Owen of Wabasso and Mr.
Owen informed him that two pilings at Wabasso Beach in the ocean were a hazard and they would
like them either taken out or replace. After considerable discussion they requested Mr.
Schmucker to take this matter up with the Wabasso Civic Club and see if they could take care
,of this matter as the County did not have the equipment with which to do the work, and then
report back at the next meeting.

Robert Graves stated that they had gone out and viewed the areas where Mr. Hogan �p
would like either culverts or bridges put in and he stated that in view of the fact that it
would cost the County quite a bit of money, and in view of the fact that there was another
access to the property which would mean only about a mile and a half more driving that he
would recommend not putting in the culverts or bridges. This recommendation was accepted by
the Board.
Mr. Robert Graves also stated they had look over Mr. Sawyer's property and stated
that it would take a bridge to replace the eliptical culvert at Lateral D, Ditch D4 and that
the road crew had this set up to be done as soon as they could get to it.
There being no further business and upon Motion made, seconded and carried, the
Board then adjourned.
