Hoke Board Moonshitier Draws TabsGillis ^ r j •! 1 WO Tears In Jail For Welfare The Hoke County Board of Commissioners, which spends a large- portion of the county 's Income for welfare, feels It must have representation on the local welfare board. f A motion was unanimously carried at Monday’s May meet ing of tne county governing body to request that the man who succeeds.iW, L, Alexander be taken from the active board of 4 county cobnnilssloners and that the man be HaroldGlllls. Alex ander’s term will expire June 30. The county commissioners have not had a member on the board In the past two years. As Is generally the case In other counties, the Hoke County Welfare Department Is not re quired to make monthly financial and service reports to the county commissioners. Thus, they remain umniormeo as to what Is going on at the welfare department unless a request Is made for funds. County Attorney Charles Hostetler said that the statutes allow for a county com missioner to serve on the county welfare board. According to Dr. Ellen Win ston, former state welfare com missioner, "A public welfare board Is composed of one mem ber appointed by the State Board of Public Welfare, one member chosen by the county commis sioners, who may be a com missioner, and a third member chosen by agreement between the first two members.” Hostetler commented that the ^welfare department Is benefited by direct representation from the board of commissioners. "This member Is In position to know and understand the .problems of th welfare depart- *ment and would be the most logical liaison between the wel fare boardand Its local financial baker” he said. A Hoke County man was sen tenced to two years in prison here last week, but he will serve the time in Hoke County jail. George H. Locklear drew the sentence from Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn in Superior Court after he was found guilty of posses sing a complete distillery out fit. Sheriff Dave Barrington told lite judge he cr. Id useLocklc;8r as a turnkey at the local jail. Locklear was permitted to serve his time there instead of at hard labor on the roads. In other cases heard during the closing days of the one- week session, Judge Burg wyn handed down the follow ing decisions: Layton Atkinson, larceny of car, 90 days. Leo Pipkin, possession of a complete distillery outfit, 18 months. Robert Hunt, possession of a complete distillery outfit, six months suspended.

George Javb, architect of Atlanta, Ga., appeared before the board at a meeting Monday night and explained the mechan ics of auch a project, Javo said that a housing au thority must be organized as a prerequisite to the establish ment in a low-rent housing proj ect. The architect pointed out that It would be necessary to circu late a petition among the resl- « dents of the town and obtain at least zd signatures. Apuouv meeting or hearing would then ba held on the matter before a housing authority can be es tablished. I Action was tabled by the board until further study can be made. In other business, the board voted to have the N. C. Local Government Retirement System conduct a survey of'the town employes, payroll records, etc., to ascertain the coat and feasibility of the town becoming a member of the system. The cost of such a survey would be approximately $100. A motion was made and car ried that the town manager be empower^ to sell a 1958 Chevrolet the town has on hand for the higher offer over $50.

Town Board Draws Rule On Trailers The town board passed on a resolution submitted by the Raeford Planning Commission which would outlaw house trail er parking except under certain conditions. Since complaints began to come in from homeowners whose areas were being in vaded by mobile homes, the town turned the matter over to the planning board for re commendations. The ordinance in its legal form is being drawn up this week. It will restrict the park ing of house trailers to ap proved trailer courts only. Those already located will not be affected, however. But those already in place cannot be re- .placed once they are moved out.

J. Elsie Webb, district high way commissioner, said here this week that the 401 project Is his "first project for Hoke County," He said he will re commend It be set up by the State Highway Department as soon as practicable. A portion of the highway — from Fayetteville westward to Seventy-First School —already is being widened to four lanes. That portion of the improvement is expected to be paved this summer. Webb gave no Indication as to when he will make his re commendation to the State High way Commission. He did in dicate, however, that he is giv ing the project high priority in his plans for this district. The commission has set up no primary road Improvements this year, he said. Webb said It generally is a- bout 18 months after a pro ject has been “set-up" before actual construction begins. Webb and Fred Beck, dis trict engineer, were here Mon day to review highway needs with the board of county com missioners. One project they talked about was Harris Avenue, which may soon get a face lifting. If everything goes as planned, the street will be widened and will get curb and gutter and a sidewalk. Webb agreed to put the street In first class condition If the town would pave a sidewalk a- long the route. J. E. Shankle, chairman of the board of com missioners, confronted town council with the proposal Mon day night and the town board agreed to see that the side walk is constructed. Webb and Beck also an nounced that four secondary roads will be paved in this county before the end of the fiscal year, June 30. The projects Include Hasty Road, No. 1107; Buie Road, No. 1207; Autry Road, No. 1407, and Young Road, No. 1456. Among roads requested for Improvement during the coming year, the commissioners listed No. 1459, formerlypartofHlgh- way 211, at the intersection of No. 1105 approaching Antioch from Dundarrach. The board took the two highway officials to the location and pointed out the dangerous approach to a bridge there. They also noted that the stop sign at the inter section Is on the least used road. No. 1459. It was suggest ed that this road be straighten ed and made to enter No. 1105 at a right angle with the stop sign on 1459. It now enters on a curve. Webb and Beck said this would be done and added that a new and wider bridge is also needed.

Moses got a sub stantial last-minute raise be fore the county’s 1964-65 budget was adopted Monday by the board of commissioners. The additional raise was given, however, without alter ing the budget which was tenta tively adopted last month. Total remains at $280,252.22, plus the school budget of $303,112.66. The tax rate remains the same as last year at $1.28 per $100 valuation. In the original 1964-65 budget Moses was allowed a $10 raise which would have brought his pay up to $176 per month. He made a second appeal Monday morning and as a result was raised to $200 per month. A transfer of funds to the solicitor’s account was made from an appropriation for sub stitutes in the courtroom. Another transfer was made from the contingency fund to the blind fund also enabling the budget total to remain sub stantially the same but at same time giving more to the blind cause. In regard to the solicitor's salary, Charles Hostetler,* county attorney, recalled that Moses spends two half-days each week In the courtroom and sometimes more. He advised that in view of this and the fact that he puts in many extrahours outside the courtroom, the young lawyer was earning at least $2,400 a year. Commissioner A. S. Mclnnis reminded the group that the load will be heavier during the com ing year because three addi tional law enforcement officers are being added. The sheriffs department has been allotted two extra men for night work and an ABC officer has been located here.
