the historical association to re-
pay a major portion of a $63,000
loan from the County's revolv-

chase a larger house and prop-
erty (Parchman house on
Kaufrnan St.) more conducive
to operation as the association's
headquarters.
A proposed replatting of lots
3-6 and 9-12 in Block 63 of the

transfer of $60,000 from the
county wide road and bridge
fund to each of the four pre-
cinct funds for operational ex-
penses. County bills were also
ordered paid.
