stated that he had attended the public hearing on this pZq,.esal aril that the
consensus of opinion of the public that meeting had been the desire to
have Mill Bay and t.tission Roada both upgraded before any extension of another
road and that this had been stated very clearly by those individuals atterxlin)S
the meeting. It was thought by members of the assembly that perhaps there
were two different programs under consideration and that the upgrading of
those raids would cane under the Local Service Roads program. The reesoc for
not using Mill Lay Road as the, prim i y road was the difficulty in relocating .
the families living along the' road at present. In order to receive federal
f rroi nc. the families have to be relocated prior to
any construction work.

foreclosure procedures and noted that this can be done six months after the
taxes are delinquent.. The maximum inteteptchapped on foreclosed property is'
six months and this is established by state statute. flues pointed at that
it was not the desire of the Borough to create a hardship Si individuals
but thought that something should be dote about the large mrprratims that
were taking advantage of the six months interest stipulation. It was suggest#
that should flanges be made on the foreclosure policy that the list be pre-
pared at a time when the fishing season had ended and money wee more easily
available.
The Borough Chairman asked guidance from the Assembly as to way of haidlirg
the taxes in the fire district. It was suggested that perhaps land within
100 yard&of a road could be taael and further that individuals with large
areas of undeveloped land could be taxed on a naxtnun often aces. Any
building on the land would be taxed along with ten acres of lend. Further
noted that there are many individuals that have refused to pay the fire tax
for general principles and that a solution should be readied before too long.
The assembly members were in agreement with this suggested course of action.

dare to see that the Local Affairs AGetcy gives more assistance in areas
where needed, such as local government training, keeping a line of the
different agencies that are to be wntacbed for specific funds and assistance.

for such and does not have an itdividual that could undertake this job and
rust rely an the State Sanitarian for such assistance. Effective June 1
the City and Borough have reoamuended that there be a building inspector or
planner position that could possibly helms in this direction
B. Karl Amrstrag noted that the Secretary of the Interior was planning a visit
