appeared before the Board and requested the Supervisors to reconsider
their decision. He advised that the original. contract had- expired on
December 31, 1991, and that the Children's Home Society has continued

proposed contract. He noted that the referenced inspection is
routine and that he did not anticipate any problems. Mr. Buck
expressed regret with the delay in presenting the contract to the

services it has provided through February 29, 1992.
