Clerk Owens read a letter from Fred Owles regarding his fee for the Plans on the County Home. Mr. Owles explained all the changes which had been made, and this would cut the cost down between $80,000 and $81,000. He stated that a reconstruction of the plans would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $700, which would make the whole job estimate around $5,400, which would make the cost of the building with the architect’s fee and everything run $89,000 or a little over that. Commr. Hooten stated he felt that the Architect could correct his mistakes without any cost more to the County, since he knew how much the County had to spend in the first place, and he believes that is the feeling of the entire Board. Mr. Owles stated that he knew his estimate was off, but at the same time he was trying in every way to get everything the County wanted.
