Said letter also stated that these structures constitute a fire hazard and were declared a "Public Nuisance" , and since the property is a charge of the County, the Bureau of Health felt the County should comply with the request from the Health Department to either raze the structures, or at lease board them up for security and safety purposes.

There was an engineering description some time ago, but whether Mr. Costello disagrees with what is to be exchanged on that description, L do not know. Mr. Zeman said that Mr. Costello wanted to draw up the description from the engineering descrip- tion, and we are waiting for that. The School District Solicitor requested that they be allowed to draw up the description and this is what is holding things up. Mr. Flynn: Once it is presented in court, how long does it take then? Mr. Gilmore: We have to advertise it three times for three consecutive weeks, so it will be three weeks before there is a final court order. Mr. Flynn: I am going to request that Mr. Zeman get in touch with Mr. Costello and try to get the necessary papers. Meeting adjourned. THE FOREGOING MINUTE READ AND APPROVED: IT1 July 31 , 1975 bg .1.
