Much discussion resulted in little direct action by the members of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors at the regular August meeting held Friday. Among subjects touched upon were dumping facilities obsolete school buildings, Sperryville disposal system, boundary markers, all of which have been under discussion on previous occasions.

This is a modest increase over the past year’s funds, however, with salaries up 5% and material costs rising continuously, the increase will be swallowed up. Mr. Skeens reported that Rappahannock County has 220 miles of secondary roads with 72 miles of these hard surfaced. All others have some degree of stabilizing surface. In the budget, a balance is maintained with regard to new surfacing and maintenance.
