Supervisor Ralph Buchanan, who wanted to use money from the airport commission budget, voted no. County officials learned last week that revenues to the county from Forest Service timber sales will be about $30,000 higher than expected. This prompted a recommendation from Auditor John T. Trauner that this money be used to pay the down payment of $25,000 for the old Cal Nat property being purchased for a corporation yard. Total cost of the site is $119,000. Trauner made the recommendation on behalf of a committee consisting of himself, County Counsel Leo Todd and Public Works Director Harry Hider. The auditor said road department money would be available to pay the yearly lease payments over a 10-year period. However, he suggested, and the board agreed, that the contract with Small Business Administration, owner of the property, stipulated that the county can pay off the purchase sooner if it wishes, Another. stipulation will allow the county at any time to shift its current equity to lot two, which won't be used for the maintenance yard.
