[Imports-us] Union County Original Data and OSM files

[Randal Hale]

I'll toss the translation file up on the page. I'll also put the last 
shapefile where I started cleaning everything up on there also - didn't 
think about that but it would make sense.

I shouldn't have tried adding address info to the sheds - didn't even 
think about it.

I'll add those to my notes and start checking them off as I get those 
completed.

Thanks much - this is making for a good check list.
