*1 Page U-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEAC Colui BY SUSAN USHER A Columbus County fire and rescue unit wants Brunswick County to reimburse costs it incurs providing first-response service to the northernmost section of the county. Steve W. Camlin, fire chief for Acme-Delco-Riegelwood Fire & Rescue Inc., asked Brunswick County commissioners Monday night for $2,000 in next year's budget, but he specified that any contribution made "not interfere with funding for any Hruaswick County departments." The request will be considered during budget deliberations. In ihe Northwest, Sanuy Creek, Maco and Hood's Creek areas in 1984, the Columbus County unit answered 18 fire calls with an average of six volunteers, and covered 975 miles answering 24 rescue calls with 152 inanhours of service. Comraiccii I aww ? BY SUSAN USHER Three budgets, three different approaches. Chris Chappell, chairman of the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners, learned Monday night that the board will develop next year's county budget a little differently than in recent years. "I've worked through two budgets and we did each of them different," Chappell said at the news from Manager Billy Carter that commisCommiss Brunswick County commissioners set aside the entire month of May for budget deliberations Monday night, sighed in near-unison, and then begun Juggling calendars to squee7.e in a few more meetings during April. The five board members checked and cross-checked their personal calendars, rolling their eyes and shaking their heads and making wisecracks as they nixed one date after another. It .seemed that either tire commissioner* already had a meeting of Uteir own planned, or one or inure members were scheduled to represent the county at meetings called by other boords or organizations. !| I lip] USED CAR SALE Wholeiale or Below Solufduy April 70 '84 Tempo. 4 DR. gray.
