ended in a virtual dead heat in the

McFarland As
Social Service
Attorney
The 6 July 1981 County
Commissioners Meeting was
moved up to 30 June specifically
for the end of the year budget
balancing. Some departments
received increases over the
expected monies, such as tax

departments spent over the
alloted amount, such as the
Sheriff's department (i. e. drug
raid), courthouse maintenance,
and Jervey-Palmer Building.
Commissioner Butler favored

these issues. Chairman Arledge
and Commissioner Sauve moved
and seconded to vote in favor of
the budget amendments; Butler
abstained.
Social Services Director Jack
Bryant has requested a new
contract for the department's
attorney because the old contract
with William McFarland expires

against Miller, but did question

Pick Up Brochure
For Tel-Med
The new Tel-Med program of
health information by phone is
being used even more than
expected, according to Kaye
Williams, chairman of
Community Health, Inc. There
were more than 300 calls in the
first four days of operation.
If you forgot to clip the ad in
area papers last week listing the
60 tapes available by phone, look
for the brochures being
distributed this week. They list
each tape and its number; the
number is necessary in asking
the operator to play the tape you
want.
