X1945 who proceded to discuss road right of way problems that were being encountered
because Jack Gates had not signed a Right of Way Agreement.
Discussion ensued between Mr. Watkins, Ms. Farrington and other residents of SR #1945
Mr. Watkins advised the residents azid the Board that unless the matter of road right
of way could be cleared within the next month his Department must reallocate the monies
that had been allocated for the paving of SR 1945. He agreed to contact Ms. Farrington
and accompany Ms. Farrington to the residence of Jack Gates.

Loop, could not be paved. She was informed that a Public Hearing on road matters
would be scheduled in the near future and that.-she should appear at that time to
make her inquiries.

problem onto her property and he further stated that Mr. Burley Long of Highway #70
was also experiencing a drainage problem. Discussion ensued between Mr. Watkins, the
Board and variovs other citizens as to the policy of the Highway Commission concerning
drainage problems.
Mr. Watkins explained that the Board of Transportation took the position that
they could not .be responsible for the natural water flow and therefore each drainage
problem must be investigated in order to determine the cause of the problem. xe
promised, however, to investigate the two matters that had been discussed.
Commissioner Gustaveson questioned Mr. Watkins on the matter of widening the
shoulders on xomestead Road as the road was being used frequently by citizens and

of Transportation plans to construct that would connect with Homestead Road. Mr.

road was completed. Ftowever, the Board of Transportation now has a Bicycle Depart-
ment and if the Board wished to pursue the matter of cyclist and bike trails then
this Aepartment should be contacted.

for H 473, which passed House Finance by 25 to 19 and will be on the House Calendar
Tuesday, June 3rd. First year loss is $8.3 million and fifth year loss is estimated
at $50 million. The original H 473 provided for continued payment of inventory taxes
to local governments with a credit against state income tax. The Committee Substi-
tute has na such provision. The entire loss will be borne by Local Governments."

be inflicted by Committee Substitute for H 254. This bill now includes liberaliza-
tion for the aged and disabled exemptions; improved taxation of mobile homes; and
exemption of household and kitchen personal property. This bill passed second read-
ing on Friday by a very substantial margin. County Commissioners are facing the
same budget problems as the General Assembly and this is no time for reduction of
local tax revenues or erosion of the local tax base.
Upon the motion of Commissioner Pinney it was moved and adopted that the
Board go on record as being in opposition to House Bi11s 473 and 254.
