Purcell McCue, E. H. Bain, H. Ashby Harris, Edward L. Smith and John W. Williams. Absent: Mr. W. W. Wood. Officers present: County Executive and Commonwealth's Attorney. The meeting opened with the Lord's Prayer led by Mr. E. H. Bain. Members of the Crozet Water Committee and a n~mber of citizens from Crozet also met with the Board. A~ the request ef Mr. Williams, Mr. M. M. Pence read to those present a financial statement of the accounts of the Crczet Sanitary District. Upon the recommendation of Mr. Pence, in concurrence with the Orezet Water Committee, it was decided that in the case of apartment buildings, a separate ~it~ing sheet shall be used for each apart- ment so that when an apartment is empty, the owner will not be billed the minimmm charge on that partic~ lar apartment. The Commonwealth's Attorney reported that he felt that in the event of f~ture emergencies of water shortage that a resolution similar to the cue new in force would be more quickly put into effect and more effective than an emergency ordinance. In connection with Mr. R. A. Gentry's statement to this Boar~ at its A~gust meeting that he was entitled to a 1~" water line and rights to the dam, Mr. Downing Smith advised that he felt this was a personal agreement in the former deed to this land rather than an easement to pass with the title to this land. The following report was received from the Crezet~Nater Committee in connection with complaint also received from Mr. Gentry at the August Board meeting: "Mr. C. Purcell MeCu~, Chairman Board of County Smpervisors of Albemarle County Charlottesville, Virginia Dear Mr. McCue: The Crezet Water Committee reports that Mr. R. A. Gentry has presented a claim for damages for loss of the use of thirteen apple trees for ten years and for damage to apple crop this year. The Committee is of the opinion that Mr. R. A. Gentry has sustained some damage and recommends that Mr. R. A. Gentry be paid $40.00 per year for the remainder of the period (hi, years) of his right to use the apple trees. Mr. R. A. Gentry indicated that he would be willing te accept $75.00 per year for his damages or he would be willing to release his rights to the apple trees reserved on the 46.46 acres sola to the County for $750.00.
