-q I (j TUESDAY AUGUST 8, 1972 By notice dated August 3, 1972, Lee Telephone Company notified City Council that it is in the process of filing an application for a rate increase with the State Corporation Commission, date of hearing thereon yet to be scheduled by said Commission. At the request and upon recommendation of Mr. N. J. Paulsen, Administrator of the Martinsville-Henry County Health Department, Council made available from the 1972-73 City appropriation to the cost of said Health Department the sum of $453.35--as the City's share--toward the cost of providing and installing office dividers and/or partitions in the Health Department building. Subject to requesting competitive bids therefor, Council authorized the razing of the former Junior High School Building and the former City School Board office on Cleveland Avenue, between Brown and Water Streets, at an estimated cost of $10,000.00 to be appropriated from School Fund surplus. Mr. D. B. Hanel, Commissioner of the Revenue, informed Council that the State Compensation Board failed to match the City's appropriation for the 1972-73 fiscal year for the employment of a qualified full-time real estate assessor or appraisor for the City and that the Board's allowance would provide funds only for a trainee unless the City would appropriate sufficient additional funds; whereupon, Council indicated that it favors the employing of a trainee, to be trained by the State Department of Taxation, with expenses of such trainee--while in training--to be borne by the City. Council referred to the Planning Commission--for its consideration and recommendation--a petition dated August 4, 1972 as filed by Mr. Ralph C.
