Whether purchasing will be taken from the hands of indi vidual commissioners and be made a responsibility of Benson. The $60,000 plus spent by tach commissioner represents a nertnln amnunt of DOlitical power, and Commissioner Tom Jennings insisted yesterday ttiat power may gravitate into the hands of any three members of the commission.

He said a "three-man board" can vote roads into three districts, leaving the others fi nancially stranded. Jennings said he cannot see anything being accomplished by centralization, a plan forwarded by Jack Jones, chairman of the commission, and supported by Commissioners Mike Klemmer and Tom Slaughter. Jennings offered a second argument, one he has brought up frequently. "The rural sections of the county may be ignored and the more populous districts could get the lion's share of roads needs are most critical. The commission would on the basis AT ONE LOW COST of the report designate which roads should be built, and in what order.

The engineer said the result of centralization would be "economy, efficiency and serv ice to the people." It no action is taken on the plan tomorrow, commissioners working on the 1958-1959 budget next week will make the decision. Largo Baptist Church Purchases Tract For $30,000 LARGO, July 12.

Commissioner Ralph Clark has said he is undecided on the merits of the plan, and said he wants to think it over. Clark's remarks in the session indicated he saw more drawbacks than merits in the proposal presented by Benson.

"I am not too happy about throwing everything into one, big happy pot," Clark said, and he went along with Jennings contention that a "three-man board may result from the Plan." Jones countered with the argument that "the commissioners are elected countywide and not by districts. We are supposed to cooperate. We have in the past and if we continue to do so, there is no reason the proposed reorganization will not succeed." Benson would become the chief administrative officer to the county commission under the plan, and he would operate road maintenance, road building and purchasing with only policy guidance from the commission. He would report to the commission as a whole, not to any individual commissioner. The engineer would also pre sent a need survey to the com mission, showing where road GENERAL MOTORS I iff From mobs on summer's always sweating out season seats to Conditioning along.
