He read a request from the state civil defense director asking the town to set up a survival plan. Mr. Woolard also requested that the town civil defense program be stepped up by turning over the use of the fire department building and a personnel vehicle that the town owns.

He said the law was made to benefit n whole and not a Hamilton Jr., county at aafced Jerry Turner, with the division of community plan ing <C4D), who helped draft the igdatioes, what could prevent a inn from ignoring the regulations. Mr. Turner said that policing of the subdivision situation lies, with register of deeds who would be able to determine, in recording deeds, whether a landowner is sell lots without first having his plat approved. Mr. Hassell raised the question of coot. Upon final approval of the plat, the subdivider, regula tions say, shall pay $5 or SO cents per tot, whichever is greater, to the county. It was pointed out that anyone subdividing land usu ally has a surveyor draw a map anyway, and requirement of such a map by subdivision regulations would not constitute an added cost. Mr. Bell said that subdivision regulattnu should haw been ia effect here 20 years ago. “if you don’t have some planning, you’ll haw an future,” he warned. He said there would be some conflicts but added that the people who stand to make money by subdivid ing are the ones that would hav$ to pay a little bit to comply with the subdivision regulations. Mr. Hassell said that he has re corded only two maps in the last two years. He predicted that if a property owner doesn’t wish to, be won’t have maps made or re corded and will sell land merely by defining it by metes and bounds and by issuing a deed. ' Mr. Tamer claimed that when the register of deeds sees land be ing transferred in one particular area, that would be an indication that a subdivision is springing up and the subdivider would be no tified that he has to comply with a law or be guilty of a misdemean or. M. G. Coyle, member of the planning commission said that passing a law that can’t be en forced is a waste of time. He said further thought should be given the proposed regulations by both the planning commission and county commissioners. He suggested another public hearing before iinal action is taken. Cecil Morris, planning commis sion member, said that all who worked on the regulations had the interest of the county at heart. He expressed the hope that what has been done would not be wasted but would be a step forward. County commissioners at ' the hearing were David Yeomans, C.
