Last week Allen told the council they would have to make sure qualified people work in the financial department so the city could get on with business.

Rather, the department wants to make sure that the city complies with state laws, offer assistance and Slt.s- your city and you have the financial rej sponsibility of it, Allen said.

The 1 field High School student was startled to find out his pumpkin measured six feet in diameter and weighed over 165 pounds. I knew it was going to be a big one, but I had no idea it was so heavy until I tried to lift lion. If this were done, we could kill two birds with one stone, said County Commissioner Glen Saunders.

State legislators recently appropriated $600,000 for flood control studies. A portion of this will go toward a county-wid- e study to determine the length and height of the eastern shore dikes. Since the dikes needed would be about the same proximity as the proposed highway, they should become the road base for the highway, Saunders said. He surfaced the idea with the states water resources board and board members said they thought it was logical, he said. The board is in charge of the flood control studies that will be made. .
