additional heavy burden upon property taxpayers; and

financing failed by a narrow margin to receive the required two-

of deferred financing as permitted by the California statutes was
deemed by this Board to be the best means of paying for the
construction of the essential Juvenile Hall addition; and

necessary to have five public-spirited citizens form the non-profit
corporation and Mr. E. L. McFarland volunteered as one of those to
act in that capacity and became a member of the Board of Directors
of the corporation known as the Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall
Facilities Corporation;
