proposed subscribing to Westlaw, an on line data base, as a
temporary solution to the problem. Judge Langely explained
how the system worked and the fee structure for the data base
charges. Judge Langley compared the cost of a new library and
subscribing to Westlaw. After brief discussion, Commissioner
Sims moved to proceed with the subscription to Westlaw and to
review the service in six months. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Norton and carried unanimously. A copy of the
subscriber agreement is attached hereto.
On motion by Commissioner Norton, seconded by Commis-
sioner Sims, the Court voted unanimously to increase the
filing fees for subdivision plats from $50.00 to $55.00. This
