" A discussion ensued on the Health Planning Council proposal and request. No action was taken. Chairman Stanford informed the Board that he had been contacted by Attorney John T. Manning, acting on behalf of the District Solicitor, who requested that the Board attempt to secure two special criminal terms of Superior Court on the 13th and 20th of April respectively, for the purpose of expediting the disposition of cases on the congested criminal docket. It was moved and unanimously adopted that Orange County Try to secure two special terms of criminal court in order that the disposition of the cases on said docket might be expedited. The dates for these special terms were set as April 13th and April 20th. Chairman Stanford read a letter from Mrs. Clarence D. Jones, Chairman of the Orange County Historical Museum Committee. Mrs. Jones stated: "In the early days it is recorded in the Court Minutes that the Court from time to time appointed a Keeper of the Standard Weights and Measures in Orange county. We, the Orange County Historical Museum committee, think it is of particular interest that Orange county still has, the original Weights and Measures, procured in 1760; in excellent condition. We think it would be of further interest and in keeping with the Orange County Museum's aim of pre- serving and publicizing the rich historical background of Orange county to have the Commissioners appoint a present day Keeper of the Standard Weights and Measures. "We recommend that Clerk of Court Edwin Lynch be appointed to this office and that he be instructed to make regular visual checks of these aforementioned properties now housed in the Orange County Historical Museum to see that these original weights and measures are kept in good condition and in a locked case." Upon motion of Commissioner Cleveland, seconded by Commissioner Smith, and unanimously adopted, 3. M. Lynch was appointed as Keeper of the Standard Weights and Measures for Orange County; his duties are to be those which are outlined in Mrs. Jones's letter. Upon motion of Commissioner Bennett, seconded by Commissioner Smith, and unanimously adopted, the Clerk of Court was authorized to employ a Deputy Clerk of Court at a beginning salary of 6237.00 per month. There being no further business to come before the Board, said meeting was adjourned. Donald Stanford Chairman Betty June Hayes, Clerk
