Carriger said that since only one property owner.. ..Circle 4 Farms was James notified, they would be the only one effected. Mayer called foul. "A legal notice in the paper is notification," he said.

Bonding status (bank qualification) changes for Beaver or any other county after $10 million in bonds has been issued in one year.

Did Commissioner Marshall actually write the letter which was published last week? Johnson agreed that the Notice lacks detail. With Commissioner Sullivan still hospitalized and Commissioner Marshall excused earlier in the day for health reasons, Johnson was unable to act. He said he would discuss the issue with Commissioner Marshall and, with his concurrence, reschedule the April 21st protest hearing for 2:00 P.M. on May 5th, with written protests due on May 2nd, "or the Notice of Intention to form the district will be withdrawn and the process will start over from the beginning " Editor's Note: The legal notice remains on page 5. The Monitor was not instructed to discontinue publication.
