New Persoi
In Shallotte
BY SUSAN USHER
Change was in the air last Wednes- t
day night when a new mayor, a new f
governing board and a new fire chief f
took office in Shallotte at a meeting
that was mostly ceremonial. c
Saying "I'm going to go back t
here and sit down and watch you," r
longtime Mayor Beamon Hewett
turned over the gavel to a visibly nervous
Jerry Jones. Formerly an alder- t
man, he was elected mayor in 1
November. i

Old town ordinances and bylaws

that the chief have held prior
fficc, a condition I Kith Moore and
imold satisfied though the rule no
anger applied When the rules were
cvised in November 1U82, no
ncmbcrs met that qualification, so it
/as dropped, leaving essentially a
ne-year active membership requirenent.
