The board approved Mr. Houk's suggestion that he in vestigate the comparative cost of radiant heating? a system Ln which heat pipes are placed In cement beneath the floor? with ordinary heating plans. There -was considerable discus sion as to whether to attempt to build the school's auditorium at this time. Mr. Houk told the board 'hat abcut $50,000 Is on hand ln the capital outlay fund, and the approximately $12,000 or $13,000 1948 capital outlay tax money has' not been turned over to the board yet. Even so, he said, the board would lack several thousand dollars of enough to complete the struc ture. When he suggested that funds could be borrowed from the State Literary fund, It was decided, on motion of Walter Gibson, to go ahead and com plete the building, Including the auditorium. Mr. Houk reported to the board that: A well dug at the Ellljay site Is furnishing more than 10 gal lons of water per minute. He is wrecking the two-room Allison Watts school, with a view to using the materials to build a warehouse at the school site, it having been determined the Buck Creek building is not worth moving. The first load of material for the Cowee school heating plant has arrived. The four-room addition to the Franklin school cost $17,095.55 to construct. This is at the rate, he said, of $4.34 per square foot of floor space. All five members of the board attended the meeting.

Um Situation On Health Work Is Explained department for the fiscal year 1948-4S and to What extent thl? amount will affect the work of the board of health in your county. "The fact that Macon County gave $4000 last year and has pledged the same for this fiscal year to carry out Its program will In our judgement affect the work of the board of health In Macon County one of two ways: "First, no provisions for sal ary lncreasements can be made on the basis of the proposed ap propriation to personnel who serve Macon County. People who continue to work in your county for no additional salary will in all probability receive more lucrative offers from other agencies. ^'Second, Macon County can not expect to obtain maximum performance of services from its workers who are paid less than employees are getting in other county or district health departments for similar services. I was our hope that all county and district health departments would at least make some pro visions to take care of neces sary salary increases. 'We trust that we have in a small measure given you some helpful information. We note -hat your district budget is yet to reach our office and no quarterly checks can be mailed until the budget Is received. If there Is any further help that we can give you please feel free to call on us."

At the Southeastern Artificial Breeding station, which though not a Federation project Is op erated in a Federation barn, the Macon farmers looked over 25 top ranking dairy-type bulls. The tobacco re -drying plant, where tobacco Is either dried or has moistue added, as required, was a point of keen interest, especially to those who grow tobacco. From the re-drying plant, the group, by special re quest of some of the visitors, went next to the Carolina To bacco warehouse. At both these tobacco points they saw scores of hogseds of tobacco that had been bought by the U. 8.
