is the fact that the Board of
County Commissioners made a
request in writing to the delega
tion the very first meeting in the
year that the supervisor’s office
be provided $50,000 extra funds
for the purpose of buying some
new equipment. Since no supply
bill was passed, that is out.”
Mr Thomason added that “It
now appears that I will go a full
term as supervisor without being
provided with funds to buy one
piece of road machinery.” He
said that “we have been able
to buy a few trucks, for which
I am grateful "
“Without equipment and funds
you just cannot give the service
that people expect,” he declar

Mr Thomason said that since
the supply bill had not been
changed it was necessary for the
commision to select a successor
to Mr Babb He added that he
had on two occasions requested
the delegation to “take this mat
ter out of our hands “
about this question:
“There’s an insurane
covering outboard motors
and boats for loss, theft, or
| damage. It also covers the
^ owner's liablility for colli
sion damage—for example,
to another boat and its oc
cupants, or a swimmer.
Does your agency handle
this insurance?”
