Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. 2. Coddle Creek Watershed Project: A. A map study was made by those present of the boundries of the watershed and of the location of important landowners who would be involved in the project. B. It was estimated the watershed will incorporate approximately 45,000 acres. C. A list of names of fifteen landowners located on the watershed was made. Mr. Dameron led a discussion concerning the advantages and needs of the Coddle Creek Watershed and how best to present the problem of establishing the watershed to the individual landowners, and what methods should be employed in selling the project to,the public in general. This open discussion did much to clarify the matter in the minds of the Supervisors. It gave them a broader and more comprehensive understanding of how to tackle the job and make plans for its completion. It is understood that a systematic program must be planned and carried through to completion. The first step in such a program will be for the fifteen important land- owners, whose names were selected today, to be contacted within two weeks. We are to find out with what enthusiasm each of these men react to the proposed watershed project. Each of the fifteen men will be visited by one, or in some cases a team of two, of us that were present at the meeting today.
