<br />Plant north toward St. Marys and Schley. He suggested the name of Pleasant Green
<br />Road. Chairman Stanford requested that Mr. McKee inquiry of the citizens in that
<br />community as to their desire and wishes as to a name for said road and to report
<br />the decision of the community to the Board at their next regular session.
<br />H. Dobson, Health Inspector, presented a map showing the proposed Green-Johnson
<br />Heights housing development. Mr. Dobson set forth the sanitation problems with
<br />sewage and garbage disposal presently not adequately provided for and requested
<br />that the Board consider the adoption of an ordinance for a franchise garbage colleo-
<br />tion system and consider setting up a santiary district for this area.
<br />It was the feeling of the Board that a joint meeting with the District Health
<br />Department and the Hoard of Commissioners should be arranged for the purpose of

<br />Sam McFarland of Rt. 1, Box 131, Durham, N. C., presented to the Board a
<br />bill in the amount of $250.00 for damages to his well. This well was located on
<br />the portion of the land he gave as a right-of-way for the Robertson Road in Chapel
<br />Hill Township. Mr. McFarland's well caved in due to the widening and repairing of
<br />said road by the State Highway Commission. He has been forced to dig a new well
<br />on this property and bases his claim upon the facts hereinabove set forth.
<br />The Board informed Mr. McFarland that they bad no jurisdiction in this
<br />matter but felt that the State Highway Commission should be responsible for the
<br />damage incurred and, therefore, would instruct the Clerk to write the State Highway
<br />Commission concerning his request.
