that the tax rate and the amount of money already in the building fund would give the hospital building committee enough money with which to build a new hospital or remodel the present facility and have it meet the standards projected for 1985. The decision came after several meetings with architects, other hospital staffs and the Putnam County Hospital administration. In other business, the commissioners accepted bids for the purchase of two new dump trucks and one halfton pick up truck. Bids were submitted by Jim Harris Chevrolet, King-Morrison-Foster Ford. Girton Implement Company and Russellville Implement Sales. The Russellville Implement bid was disqualified because it didn't have a noncollusion affidavit attached. The commissioners voted to accept the low bid of $11,965 for the two dump trucks from Girton Implement Company, Brazil. They told the Girton representative that they accepted the bid on the condition that the trucks be delivered within 60 days, otherwise the purchase contract would be

void.

The commissioners then accepted the low bid of $2,627.84 for the half-ton pick up from Jim Harris Chevrolet. Delivery is expected within four to five weeks. Sheldon Hurley appeared before the commissioners to ask if there was any way that he could prevent people from driving on his property and Train — Continued from Page I ing oil and were scheduled to siphon it out of the catch

ruining his crops. He said that the road running west from Saddle Club Road along Big Walnut Creek had not been maintained by the county since the bridge connecting it to another county road at the Big Four railway arch was washed out in 1957. Hurley said that people drive down that road until they reach the end. They turn around in his field, usually adding to the destruction of some of his crops. He also said that there have been attempts at fencing off the property, but the wires were cut, and people still drive on to the property. The commissioners told Hurley that all the land owners along the road w ould have to be in agreement with him and sign a petition, stating that the road could be

closed.

In other business concerning roads, the commissioners agreed that any persons wishing to have the gravel roads past their homes oiled to keep down the dust should call the County Highway Garage. They will get in touch with John Paul and he will then oil the roads. The

cost of oiling the road is $10 per hundred feet, and homeowners will pay for the service. Bob Evens, Chuck Shroder and Nelson Burgess appeared before the commissioners on behalf of the Putnam County Learning center to report on financing for the summer program. They reported that they had to cut the budget drastically for the summer program because funding that was expected from another source didn’t materialize. The budget for the summer had been cut to just over $2,200 and the Learning Center was asking for $2,000 revenue sharing funds. The commissioners approved the request for the money and agreed to pass the request on to the County Council for its approval. Mel Eastham, Putnam County Civil Defense director, appeared before the commissioners to thank them for their cooperation and for the county highway department’s help in clearing the roads after the tornado struck Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend.
