During the discussion, Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker joined the meeting and participated in the further deliberations of the Board. Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker recommended that the charter requirement of being 21 years of age be changed to 18 years of age, Commissioner Gordon A.

Mr. Stanley, the President of Landmark Engineers, appeared before the Board and discussed the mapping project . He stated that it was a failure of communication on the part of his company which had resulted in it sending the invoice which the Board discussed at its last meeting. He stated his company had no contract except the one for $5, 500 for making exposures and developing the film, however, he expressed the hope that the County would continue with the project. Mr. James L. Clark, Tax Supervisor, and Mr. E. M. Underwood, Jr., Auditor, also appeared before the Board and spoke on the pro- visions made in the budget for the mapping program. There was an extended discussion following which Commissioner Franklin D. Wicker moved that the Chairman be authorized and directed to sign a contract with. Landmark Engineers for a tax mapping program in keeping with the proposal heretofore agreed upon for a total price of $206, 500 ($212, 00 less $5, 500 heretofore paid) with an expen- diture of $68, 833 in this fiscal year.

Wicker Mr. H. C. Moretz, a licensed electrical contractor, appeared before the Board and complained about the County Building Inspector saying that he had slandered him and discriminated against him. Mr. Scoggins, the Building Inspector, appeared and denied the charges. Mr. Scoggins said that he refused to perform an inspection because Mr. Moretz had not signed the agreement required for installation of the heating service.and had failed to pass one house because Mr. Moretz had not vented exhaust fans. Also, that he had found homes which had been granted a temporary service for heating purposes occupied and fully utilizing the electrical service. Mr. Moretz refused to accept responsibility for such conduct but Mr. Scoggins stated he did not have any trouble with any electrical contractors on this feature of their work except Mr. Moretz and one other. The Board suggested the two men confer and try to resolve their differences. Mr. Moretz, however, . refused to acknowledge he had done anything wrong and Mr. Scoggins said his past experience with Mr. Moretz made it unlikely that anything could be accomplished. No formal action was taken. There being no further business to come before the session, it was adjourned sine die.
