Thrasher stoutly bis pending purchase of the new $33,000 electronic computer. "What I said in Springdale was that this machine can do certain things that several people are doing," Thrasher said. "It was my intention to 'phase out' certain county employes." Thrasher added: "The Grand Jury told me to put a bookkeeping system in the county, and this is what I've done." The county judge earlier admitted he does not know at this time how the new computer will be paid for.

The planning grant reflected In the budget adopted by the group last month will be requested from the department of housing and Urban Renewal for a 12-month period. Federal participation will account for two- thirds of the project. In a report to the Economic Development District, the com- 'mission recommended a growth center within the Washington-Benton County area be as a seven-commun- Tty growth area which included the cities of Springdale, Greenland, Fayetteville, Lowell, Rogers, Johnson and BentonviUe.

The report will be sent to the EDD in Harrison which will in turn forward it to Washington. Designated growth centers are eligible for certain federaljinon ey in renewal and development projects. Consideration to turn the Regional Planning Commission into a Regional Council of Government was tabled for further study before action by members of the executive committee. Under organization as a Council of Government, the group would have authority to work with other governmental agencies in projects of local or area interest. Approval of the regional governmental proposal, however, would remove the organization as strictly a planning group.

In other action the committee established pay classifications for each of the positions authorized by the budget. The classifications include: Merit increases for director Ken Riley and assistant Larry Woods on anniversary dates. The group voted to cancel the December meeting because the date fell within the holiday season. The group also tabled a resolution outlining an agreement with the EDD until discussions can be made with that group on wording of provisions concerning financing and responsibility in the grant program.
