The West Brunswick High School Honor Society is planning a “Bike-a-thon” for the benefit of the crippled children. Plans For f (Continued from page 1) planning last summer, the county offices were to be diveded between Southport and Supply. All court - related services were designated for Southport locations. /Those services planned for Southport included county ma:°s'- county auditor, county commissioners, tax collector, tax supervisor, county Resources Development Commission, register of deeds and county board of education. Offices planned for Supply were county health department, social services, Farmers Home Administration, civil preparedness, Soil Con servation, ASCS, board of elections and shoreline protection. Southport Commissioner John Bray said March 18 he still favored the division of services between Southport and Supply. “I don’t have any second thoughts about it,” he said. Bray then read the list of services planned for South port and Supply. ,In other business, the commissioners amended contracts and adopted rules apd regulations for the cpunty water system. Troy Body was present to represent Pierson & Whitman of Raleigh, engineering consultants for the water project. Doby said the project should be providing water to its first customer (Pfizer) by next April. jThe commissioners authorized Doby’s firm to rare two engineers to oversee ofi - site construction of the system. The salaries for the tyro were placed at a maximum of 8800 and $1,000 per month. •L>oDy aiso said ms iirm nas received permission to lay a waterline to Oak Island on the right-of-way of the NC 133 causeway to the island. The read will later be removed to marsh level, he reported. However, Doby said, laying the water line from the solid road bed will be a con siderable savings. He had earlier said the cost of run ning a line through marsh would be “astronomical.” J The commissioners amended contracts with the water system, extending the time from six months to one year. Also approved were encroachment contracts with the State Highway Com mission for water lines on NC 311, NC 87, NC 133, and state roads 1526, 1527 and 1528. ■ The commissioners further accepted rates and regulations for the water system. County Manager Neil Mallory said the rates and regulations were required by the Farmer’s Home Ad ministration. ' The commissioners ap proved a new set of water wells to be drilled in the Leland area by contractor Sydnor Hydronamics. Ob servation and test wells are presently being drilled in the Heaver Dam area off NC 211, Mallory said. He said the original contract allows for another set of wells to be drilled at the cost of the first set. ; Mallory was authorized to secure a well site in the Leland area from the State jPorts Authority. * Library board member -Mrs. A.P. Henry and health hoard member Stanley Lewis hotli requested budget boosts h orn the commissioners. The Commissioners said both •requests would be considered during upcoming budget deliberations. Lewis was given a $880 supplement for the remaining fiscal year. He said his board is requesting $3,900 for next year for a pilot family planning project. The board agreed to meet as the Board of Equilizatlon and Review April 18 and 20 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The purpose of these meetings is required by law to hear complaints on tax rates and appraisals. The commissioners ap proved a 190 refund to Mr. and Mrs. Albert H. Boney for property acquired by the State Highway Commission. After an executive session on personnel, an assistant for Tax Supervisor Charles Mills was approved. The commissioners relayed a bid acceptance from the Long Beach Rescue Squad to the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee for ap proval. A letter from rescue chief Walter Johnson said the group perfers the second - lowest bid from American Ambulance Builders. Although that ambulance was $400 more costly than the lowest bid, he said, the group preferred its quality con struction. Central Complex (Continued from page 1) proposed site, “but this is where we htsig our hat." “We prayed over this one (the location),” he told the board. Pierce pointed out to board of education members that there is “really no reason for It, no Justification at all” for maintaining the ad minstrptlve office near the county seat of Southport Time was, explained, when all board of education func tions were carried out in the courthouse, but no more. Better roads and improved telephone communication, he said, should allow the board of education to be nearer to the people than to county government. “Your have no particular need to be near the Register of Deeds office, for exam ple.” Pierce told the board that county commissioners have two responsibilities in relation to local school ad ministration: (1) approval for budgets, and (2) approval at the price of a piece of property. "You’re legal responsibility comes not from the commissioners but from the General Assembly.” Pierce said the board of education’s long - range plan for school improvement was well • formulated, and that his agency is “recom mending to the State Board of Education that it approve the plan when it meets on Thursday.” i The optimism voiced by Pierce and Spencer was based on the economic development of Brunswick County. The county is second only to Dare County in county dollar - to - student ratio. “We are impressed with the valuation behind each child,” the director noted. The “School Survey” cited the CP&L nuclear power plant at Southport and the development of Brunswick County beaches as the major factors in the increase of appraised property valuation here. Valuation-per-student has more than doubled in the past three years to $55,757, according to the report. Taken in this context, “Brunswick is one of the wealthiest counties in North Carolina,” the study noted. The study also made recommendations con cerning the responsibilities of the superintendent and three assistant superintendents, and recommended the em ployment of two assistant superintendents, and recommended the em ployment of two additional administrators — a Director of Finance and a Procurement and Supply supervisor. Included in the central complex would be a main tenance garage and warehouse. The centralization of ad ministrative offices, the report stated, would be “for purposes of efficiency and economy. This would im prove communications between the departments and keep the assistant superin tendents physically close to the people they supervise and coordinate.” The Division of School Planning recommended that the administrative building be attractive and visible, occupy at least 15 acres total — including space for a transportation garage and bus storage, have municipal water and sewer, involve a practical system of bus, truck and automobile traffic, and be fenced - in except for the office itself. The administrative building is recommended to Include at least 6,000 square feet, house a variety of of fices and contain an assembly areas with a seating capacity of at least 100. The transportation garage should include at least 10,000 feet enclosed space, be located on at least 10 acres of useable land. A 4,000 to 6,000 - square-foot warehouse also is recommended to boost bulk purchasing and reduce costs. In summary, the survey noted that “facilities for administration and all central office services are Inadequate; however, the maintenance and tran sportation facilities should be removed from the Shallotte campus as soon as possible. “If the central office and service facilities must be constructed in phases, the committee recommends the following. “Phase I — construct transportation facilities; “Phase II — construct maintenance facilities; “Phase in — construct wrrehouse facilities; “Phase IV — construct central office facilities.

After Clemmons’ statements, Sellers said to the remaining four com missioners, “I’m looking forward to keeping things straight.” Upon finishing the con ference, Clemmons said, “That is the whole story, so help me God.” Shortly before that, he had opened the floor to questions from members of the press. Clemmons said he would answer questions “providing that I be allowed to ask questions, too.” No questions were asked. Sheriff Harold Willettts Monday also called the alleged gasoline violations by Gemmons a “vicious lie.” “No one in my department has ever served a paper (warrant) on J.T. for misconduct on running his service station,” Willetts said. Furthermore, he said, “nobody else could have served a paper on him (Gemmons),” without the knowledge of the sheriff. Willetts, a Republican, Monday declined to voice his support any of the five in cumbent GOP com missioners in the primary. “I’m supporting no candidate in the primary except Harold Willetts,” he said. He said, “The people should have a choice” in the primary. The sheriff also denied J-MAR LAUNDERETTE SOUTHPORT, N.C.
