Mr. Willetts which raised two schools of tllought - Mr. Willetts be given some consideration .
by returning some of the land to him that nu.ght not be included in the sale, or property in
? the rear for a Park. Mr. Sdilletts gave tYie land specifical.ly for the Sanatorium site and
felt he should be given the privileoe to say what should be done iaith i:he property, if enti:-
I? tled to something back, mouey or some of the land. Don't think it would be consistent not
?
.? to do so in view of disposition of' other donated gifts. If we can't give some of`the land
, back can put a value on it.

Pir. Playhan complained of releasing Mr. John'V. Thompson from the County employment as Fore-
man of the Drainage Creta, without giving him notice of the intention to dismiss him inasmuch
as he (Mr. Playhan) was the Committee on County Farm aff'airs, and stated that Mr. Thompson had
done a good job. Mr. Alayhan said he as the Coimnittee had spent a lot of time trying to im-
prove conditions at the County Farm, and the rules and regulations governing the Coiuity Home
and 14'arm should have been lived up to in dismissing Mr. Thompson.

let him go without giving reasons for doing so. The Chaii^man ruled 12is motion out of order.

dismissal was up to Mr. Rivenbark as head of that Department.

ecl against Lot S in Block 3, Bordeaus Division, and permit him to pay the real estate taxes

The Reverend Elwood R. Orr, Pastor of Winter Park Baptist Church appeared to initiate a re-
quest tYfat the Commissioners oppose any movement to establish a proposed.A.B.C. Store in the
IIanover Cetiter located on Oleander Drive, feeling that an overwhelining majority of the citi-
zens in nearby Winter Yark caould not approve of sueh.a store, anci asked that they be given
opportunity to express their feeling in the mattei^. This question was brought about, it was
reported, by the Hanover Center Interests polling the wishes of the people by mailing out du-
plex cards. Of the cards returned a great majority favored suah a store, it caas said. The
CYiairman said this was a service the people wanted due to trie congested conditions in toian,
he was to].d, anci the County Commissioners have nothitlg to do with it, that being up to the
A.B.C. Board under authority voted by the people for liquor control. It will not be brou;ht
to this Board for an expressi?on in the matter.
Pe... r4r. J. R. Holl.is, Superintetident of Public tdelfare was present to further pursue the method
of handling the OAA lien business. Mr. Horton advised that good informatioii on the question

The Chairman presented a check Yor $4,992.00 received from the Navy for the joint use of lands
and facilities at Bl.uethenthal Field for the year ending July 1, 1955, in accordance xaith the
agreement betweei7 the Government and the County. •
Upon motion oi' Mr. Hall, seconded by Mr. Dlayhan, the said funds were received and earmarked

The Chairman also presented three (3) checks in the aggregate amount of $50,000.00 received
from Doctors S. E. Pace, R. T. Sinclair and 14. C. Mebane, the same being the purchase price
for the purchase of the County Tuberculosis Sanatorium in accoriiance iaith i;he advertisement
and bid accepted at the meeting oP.Pfarch 5, 1955. The keys for the Sanatoriwn were turned
over to them, and as of today, the County Auditor was instructed to have all Insurance Polic-
ies and all other County obligations in corulection with the Sanatoriwn cancelled.
Mr. J. F. IIart, 311 McAZillan Avenue, Sdinter Park was present to ask why did the County sell
the Sanatorium at a price of $50,000.00 which cost apProximately $115,000.00 to buil.d. He
was tolcl it caas built for a particular purpose cahich is now available at State Institutions.
If i.t had been put to other usage, i1: would have been an additional expense or leave it there
dozmant. Mr. Hall said if zoe had kept it, would have had to spend $40,000.00 or $60,000.00
for renovations, and if leased caould have been tied up for twenty-five (25) yeais, and the
only other alternate would have been to spend $50,000.00 to maintain a feca patients. Mr.
Hart said that explanation made sense to him inasmuch as the State will care for the patients.
Upon juot oi o Pir. Hall, seconded by Mr. Broadhurst, the eheck aggregatiilg $50,000.00 suUmit-
ted by the Doctors for the purchase of the banatorium was accepted, and the County Auditor
was directed to check into where the funds should be deposited together with any future funds
due the account wheiz collected, that would produce tYie best interest yield to the County, and
, the same be deposited to the Sanatorium Aund Account and earmarked to provide a facility for
t17e Aged.
