Okaloosa County School Bond Drive Seeks State Action
After two and a half years and two failed bond elections, the Okaloosa County School Board asks the State Legislature to validate last November's $2.9 million high school bond and to authorize backing of a $2.5 million revenue bond. A 1965 plan would fund a $6.5 million county wide building program, but past votes fell short. The board seeks legislative approval to proceed despite court rulings.

Road Bond Plan Promoted by Road Board Chairman
Road Board Chairman Jay Brown argues for Gov. Claude Kirk's 375 million road bond package aimed at urban areas. He says the 20 year bonds would fund 1350 miles of four laning and other projects with interest around 202.6 million. The proposal targets growth expected as Florida nears nine million residents and 30 million tourists by 1975. Rep Lynwood Arnold notes upcoming hearings will allow more questions as department counsel explains bonds extend beyond the selling of 375 million.

Temporary Pipeline To Relieve Low Water Pressures
In Shalimar a temporary six inch water line will span Garniers Bayou Bridge to raise pressures. G R Henson, Okaloosa County Water and Sewer System general manager, says the line is temporary and will not affect traffic or fishermen. The dry spell lowers underground levels and causes pressure drops and occasional saltwater intrusion, leading to wells being taken offline.
