RYDER'S DECISION to drop the investigation was received calmly by Belleview officials. To Belleview Mayor Roy Abshier, the decision was definitely not a "surprise." "He conducted a very thorough investigation," said Abshier, "and there was just no other conclusion he could have reached. There never was any question in my mind the commission had not acted within the law." "NOW THAT the stigma has been removed, the city commission can continue enthusiastically to serve' the needs of the community," he added. Abshier, who earlier labelled the investigation the work of By DON WILSON Sentinel Stall OCALA County prosecutor Steve Ryder said Wednesday he has dropped his investigation into claimed violations of the Sunshine Law in Belleview, adding he found "no probable cause" for the charge. Ryder said his investigation turned up no proof to support claims the Belleview city commission held a secret work session, in violation of the state's open-meetings law.

"I'VE CONCLUDED there is no probable cause to have anybody arrested for this alleged violation," Ryder said. "The findings have assured me this was a meeting open to the public." The announcement ended several weeks of speculation covering the supposed happenings at the March 9 commission work session. The investigation was opened two Santa Fe Becomes; Latest recordings were used to "inflame and prejudice the jury."

"That meeting was publicized two and a half days in advance," he asserted. "If we had intended to hold a secret meeting, it would have been foolish for us to do that." Noting the city commission has been faced with Sunshine Law charges twice in the past, Abshier said, "I think the citizens realize this kind of thing has happened before, and maybe will happen again, and we can't let it bother us. "This commission is not going to do anything illegal," he continued, "and as for those people who might get some satisfaction from being negativists we can live with them."

Sanford Youth Arrested, Held In Bomb Hoax A 15-year-old Lakeview Middle School student was arrested at Sanford Wednesday for making a bomb threat call that caused the school to be evacuated and 1,150 students to be sent home.

1 The youth admitted calling police headquarters from a pay telephone at the school at 11:25 a.m. and telling the desk officer a bomb was in the school and set to go off within the next hour, said Sanford Police, Sgt. William Lykens. THE CALLER hung up without identifying himself and police and firemen evacuated the school and searched the sprawling campus near U.S. 17-92 for two hours without finding an explosive.

Principal Ted Barker said the students were sent home at 12:30 p.m. on buses "because the police wanted the school kept clear until 1:30 p.m. and that would be only 30 minutes before students would begin leaving for the day." Lykens said six persons identified the juvenile suspect from a tape recording of the bomb threat call. Lykens said the youth was arrested at his Sanford home. The boy admitted making the call.

The courts ruled that all land if resembling an agriculture use could not be taxed at its real worth. THE NEW greenbelt law according to Carlisle does nothing to the old law except take the problems of determining exemptions away from a board and placing them entirely in the hands of the tax assessor. Alachua County and its strict interpretation of the law has resulted in a series of lawsuits, all of which were defeated. Carlisle said the county will not appeal, because the appeals court based its decision on another opinion written by the present state supreme court.

By DON REID Sentinel Correspondent GAINESVILLE The Alachua County commission lost another battle to keep developers from gaining the low tax assessment under agricultural exemptions. The state court of appeals ruled against the county in denying 160 acres of land at the northwest corner of NW 39 Avenue and 34th Street the low assessment. Real estate developer M. M. Parrish holds the land as trustee to an estate and claimed the property within 500 feet of the Gainesville city limits is used for slash production.

Salary increases were also approved for 200 academic employes, ranging from $500 to $1,200 for the new fiscal year beginning now in September. ROBERTSON SAID the $500 given to everyone was a cost of living increase and fell within the presidential pay board guidelines. All teachers and academic staff who were on the payroll for a full year receive a pay plan merit raise of three levels, while another two pay levels were added to 34 voted by fellow staff members as outstanding.

Each pay level is worth $100 per year over the base pay and will continue as part of the regular salary. THE PRESIDENT defended the raises as within federal guidelines. "We were about the middle level of the scale last year and this should bring us up to the higher levels, since we are the sixth largest community college in the state," the president explained.
