clerk's staff named jury commis
sioner. McMurry said the title
need not mean an increase in sal'
ary.
McMurry explained the commis.
sioner would determine for the
judge bow many jurors are re
quired for a jury panel, and
names would be selected from the
voter's register. McMurry said
about twice as many jurors as
needed would be chosen. He es
timated that about half would be
exempted by the judge.
McMurry estimates an individu
al would be called about once
every 10 years for jury duty.
McMurry explained the propos
al that supervisors no longer sel
ect the jury was instituted be
cause several complaints of the
present arrangements have been
registered by citizens, lawyers
and judges.
He pointed out that jury pan
els are currently not representa
tive of the county as a whole,
stating that practically no work
ers are represented.
Board members pointed out the
system may produce complica
tions. They said the matter re
quires more study.
In other action the board set
Dec. 27 for dedication ceremonies
of Graves Hall, following a report
from County Administrator Jess
O Hoke that a plaque for the
new juvenile detention home had
arrived.
The board also approved a res-
olution honoring the late George
Dillman, Etna, and gave authori
zation to the clerk of the board
to draft a resolution in memory
of Alex Rosborough, Yreka.
The board authorized O'Roke to
determine the most suitable
means of destroying confidential
reports and files from county de
partments. Jess Brewer, county
probation officer, told the board
of supervisors that he docs not
think confidential papers should
be thrown into county dumps for
burning.
Recommendations by the county
planning commission pertaining to
Siskiyou County airports' master
plan and the Happy Camp airport
muter plan were approved by
the board.
The board rejected a planning
commission proposal to abandon
Louie Lane near Tennant. Super
visor Don Avery said the board
believes it can carry out intent
of the planning commission with'
out abandoning the road.
Judge J. Everett Barr s request
that the old courtroom be re
stored was set aside until the
next budget session. According to
O'Roke cost would be about $900.
Supervisors referred a request
for tax cancellations for the city
of Yreka to County Assessor
L. D. (Babe) Taylor for further
study.
And supervisors accepted resign
nation of George Van Buskirk as
assistant county civil defense di
rector. Van Buskirk said he re'
signed because of conflicting work
schedules. He is manager of the
