At the present time <br />Air Port Road is the only access mute to town for busses and private vehicles <br />transporting the majority of some 1500 pupils enrolled in Guy B. Phillips <br />Junior High School and Estes :sills Elementary School. It is anticipated <br />that the new senior high school will have an enrollment in excess of 1000 <br />students when it opens its doors in September of 1966. <br />We feel that in the interest of safe transportation for our young <br />generation the request of the Board of Aldermen is most reasonable. We <br />urge your office to give this request high priority." <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Cleveland, seconded by Commissioner Smith and unanimously <br />adopted, the Orange County Board of Commissioners went on record as approving the requests set out <br />in Mr. Thompson's letter. The Clerk was requested to advise W. F. Babcock of this action. <br />Chairman Stanford brought to the attention of the Board the fact that,the National <br />Assocition of County Officials is to hold its annual meeting in Washingtnn, D. C. from August 9 <br />to August 12. He pointed out that the County Accountant Is President of the North Carolina Association <br />of County Accountants and will attend, and also that the Register of Deeds is Secretary-Treasurer of <br />the National Association of County Recorders and Clerks. He stated that the expenses of the <br />County Accountant to said meeting will be paid by his Association. Chairman Stanford felt that the <br />County should help with the expenses of other persons who plan to attend. The Board authorized the <br />Register of Deeds to submit an expense account covering transportation, registration fees, room <br />and board to the County Accountant upon her return from said meeting. <br />A jury of 60 names was drawn for the September 28 Tenn of Civil Court. <br />Them being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. <br />Donald Stanford, Chairman <br />Betty June Hayes, Clerk
