County Commissioners wouldn't say yes nor would they say no to the reguest but from discussions by the Commissioners themselves it looks like they nill throw the road problem back to the city. ltOAD ASSUMED J.

E. Allen of Jacksonville, the trucking company's representative, said "we assumed when we bought the property we would get a paved read that Is what we understood. But we awoke to an alarming consensus that it was a dirt road and that won work for our trucks." Commissioner J. G. Whlddon said it "sounds like misrepresentation by the city and they have shirked their duty there (at the Industrial rarkl." Commissioner J.

Christie Hall said "this is a most unique re-' lng to H. C. Barber, president of University Plaza Inc. At least ows and possibly three more businesses may also be located at the center. Barber said a group of Tallahassee businessmen, tne Investors Development Association, bought the land for $92,500.

The original binder was put on the property in April, but the deal was not closed out until this week. The hind was purchased from S.

Joint work on widening Thirr Street to the new Raa Junior School by Tallahassee and Leoo County may begin late this week or early next week. This decision was reached ye terday when Tallahassee City Manager Arvah B. Hopkins conferred with County Commissioners. All agreed the project was urgent and that lt should be com, pleted before the opening of school in September.

But still underlying the project was who was to do what and for how much. Commissioners early this month said because they had no cash to give to the project they would agree to provide half of the labor and equipment. The City also had agreed to do its share but officials said they also preferred to provide labor and equipment instead of materials or cash, which tha city doesn't have either, Hopkins said "It looks like we'll hava to provide the material ts well as some equipment and labor." However, yesterday all seemed to reach some agreement and come what may the project will get done. Hopkins said he was prepsred to begin work today but County Road Supt. Capt.

E. said his forces couldn't do that because they will have, to be pulled from work now in progress throughout the county, M. O.
