the extra 200,000 people who are
expected to swell the county's
population by 1985.
Most importantly, Funk said,
was the encouragement of -an
agricultural climate within the
county that would enable farmers
to stay on the land if they want to.
He also urged the group to vote
for the ballot referendum in May
that will enable farmland to be
taxed on the basis of its use
rather than its speculative value.
Anthony Perella, speaking for
the Chamber of Commerce, said
the chamber was seeking to
maintain a slow, steady rate of
growth concentrating on
providing jobs for the people who
are already here. He said the

meeting, Donovan Smith spoke at
some length about the benefits he
felt accrued to all citizens of the
county from the tourist industry.

said they’d like the tourist in
dustry to disappear altogether.
