Board felt that it could turn over to the county during the coming fiscal year the sum of $250,000.00.. After full discussion of the suit of H. F. Mitchell Construction Company vs. Orange County Board of Education with reference to claim for additional compens- ation for the construction of Central High School due to claimed rock excavation, II Commissioner Jones moved the following resolution. That the County attorneys be directed to file an action in the Superior Court of Orange County against. Mitchell Construction Company with the County and the Board of Education as plaintiffs for a declaratory judgment, and for the County attorneys to take such action in this matter may be necessary. ?1_? The motion was duly seconded by Commissioner Bennett and unanimously passed. The following letter from Joseph M. Johnson, Secretary of The Chapel Hill City Board of Education, was read by Chairman Stanford. "The Chapel Hill City Board of Education has directed that I write you to request the assistance of you and the Board of County Commissioners in securing a direct access by road from the town of Carrboro to the site of the new Chapel Hill Junior High School on Estes Drive in Chapel Hill. As you are probably aware, the Chapel Hill Board of Education is about to advertise for bids for the construction of a $750,000 Junior High School building on a site adjacent to the present Estes Hills Elementary School. Many of the students who will attend this new Junior High-School will reside in areas on the oposite side of Chapel Hill and in Carrboro. In order for them to get to school it would be necessary according to the present street plans for them to travel through the center of Chapel Hill and cause considerable traffic congestion in the business areas of both Chapel Hill and Carrboro. A road which might be built from a convenient point in Carrboro directly eastward to the vacinity of Estes Drive would solve this problem. It is the feeling of the Chapel Hill City Board of Education that such a road ought to be planned and constructed while this new building is being built." Upon motion of Commissioner McDade, seconded by Commissioner Bennett, and unanimously adopted, the Clerk was request-'to inform the State Highway Commission of the request received from the Chapel Hill Board of Education and to request that the State Highway Commission make a study of the proposed road, as the Board of Commissioners feel that the Chapel Hill City Board of Education request is a valid one and that said road would be needed in order to conveniently transport students from the Chapel Hill and Carrboro areas to the new Junior High School. Chairman Stanford reed a letter from the State Department of Archives and History. Said letter request the approval of the Board of Commissioners to come into Orange County and conduct an inventory of the records, repair all necessary records and microfilm for security all those of permanent value. The Clerk was instructed to write H. G. Jones, States Arohivisit, granting permission to the State Department of Archives and History to come into Orange County to conduct an inventor, repair and microfilm and do any other work as outlined in Chapter 2 of the County Records Manual.
