George Higgins of the Chamber of Commerce was elected committee chairman at a joint meeting with the Board of Public Instruction. Ben Hopkins proposed a winter tuition charge for visiting students and a county tax re evaluation, while officials cautioned such moves require state coordination and could affect attracting residents.
