The foregoing notice was read and the Board then received and publicly opened bids
. as follows: From Frank Palecek bid for $205.00 from John Geil, bid for $305; from Z. Minton
bid for $402.50. Upon examination of the bids the County found that the bid from Z. Minton
i
was only on the one cottage completely on the right of way and did not include the removal
of the portion of the second cattage on the right of way, therefor, the bid was not in con-
formance with the request for bids and in addition, the Board determined that the cost to the
County of the cutting off and removing of the second building would be in excess of $100.00.
Therefore, upon Motion of Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner Robert Graves and
unanimously carried, the Board accepted as the highest and best bid, that of John Gei1 for
$305.00, and the property was thereupon sold to him.
!' The County. Attorney stated he had received a contract to close the Railroad crossing
at the South County line from the Old Dixie Highway to U. S. #1, and to open a new crossing
. about 1700 feet to the North. After some discussion in the matter and upon Motion made by
Commissioner McCullers, seconded by Commissioner Robert Graves and carried, the Board decided
to advertise the closing of the old crossing before the signing of this contract.

sentative was trying to get the State Road Department to scarify the North Road in Fellsmere
