The Clerk read a letter from Mr.. John M.

Wicker joined the meeting and participated in the further deliberations of the Board. The Finance Officer called to the attention of the Board that the Airport Commission had failed to budget for the second half of the airport runway extension project and that the budget should be amended to reflect this item. Commissioner Dotterer moved that the budget be amended to reflect in the Sanford- Lee County Airport Fund an item for engineering expense on the Airport Runway Extension in the amount of $11, 322. 00 and that the sum of $11, 322. 00 is approp- riated from the Emergency and Contingency Fund for such purpose of which $5, 661. 00 is to be reimbursed to Lee County by the City of Sanford and the statement of Williams & Works, Inc., in the amount of $6, 000. 00 was approved for payment from this fund. Commissioner Rhyne seconded the motion and upon a roll call vote, Commissioners Dotterer, Rhyne, Franklin D. Wicker, Gordon A. Wicker and Cooper voted for it and no one voted against it. A letter from the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina to the County calling for the County to make an election to come under the experience rating program or to remain on a reimbursement basis as a liable employer under the Employment Security Law was read to the Board. Commiss- ioner Clyde J. Rhyne moved that the County elect to remain on a reimbursement basis. Commissioner Dotterer seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unan- imously approved. The request of the District Health Department to add two partitions with doors to the Health Department building to make space for the WIC Program personnel was approved. Copy of a resolution from Rockingham County concerning the actions of the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, with respect to the Tobacco Industry was considered, but no action was taken since the Board was of the opinion that the action taken by State officials was sufficient.

Bridges and wife.Patricia for taxes paid on a parcel which should have been billed to John.Floyd Bridges and wife Geraldine; $34. 33 to Charlie Simmons for taxes on a mobile home that was double listed; and $128. 06 to Southern National Leasing Corporation because the scales which were taxed have an exempt authorization from the North Carolina Department
