<br />attend this meeting, not as a Board of Commissioners but as interested citizens.
<br />A discussion arose concerning the appointment of a new Solicitor and the results that Orange
<br />County might derive from the dividing of the solicitorial district.

<br />that also suggested that a caution light be installed at the entrance to the Colonial Heights area.
