this request, motion was offered by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. Harris and unanimously adopted, approv-
ing the idea as submitted By Mr. Michie but denying the request due to the fact that the County is now
committed to a number of capital outlay projects an8 also due to the fact that it was the feeling of the

titled to appropriations for similar projects.
