He acknowledged there could be some dissension if there is more than one name used for a highway, or if different. sections of the same highway have different names, because of one of the goals of the project is to have continuity of road names. Mr, Lewis continued stating he plans to hire a new staff member to coordinate the project and do much of the research on road names suggested during the public meetings.

Mr, Lewis replied stating the records in the planning departmen building official's office and zoning office would be changed-over ,to the new numbering system at a cost of $8,000 and the County tax records will likely remain based on tax maps used for years; the Treasurer and Commissioner of Revenue have said the tax maps serve them well and the cost of changing the 12,000 parcels in the County to a new number- ing system would be expensive. The billing addresses will be converted when the post offices changes to new addresses, said Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis con- timed saying the final expense will be to notify the property owners of their .new addresses which will cost approximately $6,000. Discussion followed relative to the establishment of a 911 emergency tele- phone number for the Contel customers in the County.
