funds, has been adopted as a goal of
a group of interested citizens who
met at the Court House in Hertford'
Tuesday nighD to discuss possibilities
of securing such a project for Per

program, when a Public Health of
ficial told of a federal program for
construction of public health build
ings, pointing out the Federal Gov

tion costs on such approved projects.

this county, the fatfis and ngures to
be presented to the Board of County
Commissioners for approval and ap
propriaitaan of local funds needed m
the event (Federal aid: is granted for
the project.
It was estimated during the meet
ing Tuesday nigh, such a project for
Perquimans County might cost in the
neighborhood of $40,000, which would
mean the county government could
secure the project by an expenditure
of approximately ($10,000.
