approved by Mr.. Hanrahan, Donald
r. Locke, coming administrator:
Andrew Jensen, building inspector;
the Health Department., the We'll
fare Department. the Fire Inspector,
and the Child Care counselor, the
board voted against it. The board
yielded to the objection of citizens
IN the area who said they had
bought property in a residential area
and they felt nursery school would
detract from the value of their
property.
Mr.. Locke pointed out to the
board that Mrs, Oliver had BEEN
operating zone of the best nur-
series in the county" for several
years and that she had retained |
the services of an arrnicect to de-
sign new building specifically for
use as a nursery school. Board |
Member Mrs. Elizabeth. Magruder
said Mrs. Oliver lis very fine per-
SON."
The building was to have gone
on a lot $50 feet by 100 feet in size.
The county nursery school regula-
tions. according to Mr.. Locke, are
among the strictest in the State

had requested the county to send
them a copy Of the regulations to
offer as q model for other commu-
mites.
Expenditures Approved.

which had been pending almost a

to MI 0ight manufacturing. The
original application was for a %
acre site, but nine and a half acres
were withdrawn prior to the boards
disposition of the case.
John Locke Green. county treas
urer. told the board that several
people in his community, although
financially able, have not yet con-
nected with the county sewer lines
and are maintaining outside toilets
to the detriment Of the community
health.
Pointing out that he had been
informed by doctors that polio germs
have been found on flies, Mr.. Green
said that this situation very easily
can be contributing to the spread
OF polio and that the residents
should be made to conform with the
county ordinance by connecting
with the sewer lines.
MIR. Green lives at Gil South Ran
dolph street.
These people are taking advan-
tage Of the board, he concluded. and
they won't connect until they are
forced by "the strong arm of the
law"
