Harbor Acres subdivision.
Commissioners voted unanimous
ly Monday night to accept the com
pany's bid of $82,200 for dredging
five finger canals, the connector
canal that runs parallel to the water
way and the entrance canal to the
waterway.
Town Manager Gus Ulrich said
work is expected to begin within the
next couple weeks, and the project
should take approximately six
weeks to finish.
Bald Head Island Transportation
Inc. was the only company to submit
a bid, even though the project was
advertised twice and bid specifica
tions were mailed to six contractors.
The town is coordinating the pro
ject on behalf of property owners in
the neighborhood who requested the
dredging.
Holden Beach will assess Harbor
Acres lot owners for the full cost of
the dredging plus the town's admin
istration costs. Each person's assess
ment will be based on how much
property they own along the canals.
Ulrich said Monday that the town
had already collected about $68,733
in "voluntary assessments" from
property owners.
Many of those should receive re
funds since the bid came in much
lower than expected. Ulrich said it
appears the cost-per-lot will be clos
er to $300 than the original estimate
of $500.
Although town officials expect
the dredge boat to work carefully,
the contractor will not be responsi
ble for damage to boats, floating
Volunteers
Needed
West Brunswick High School
is looking for volunteers willing
to tutor students in basic skills.
"In an age where so much em
phasis is placed on standardized
test scores, teachers are finding
themselves stretched thin. In order
to be effective, we need help i#
teaching basic skills to students in
trouble,'* said Harriett Hemphill of
the WBHS Parent/ Community
Involvement Committee.
Hemphill asked that retired
teachers or other concerned local
residents with skills to share con

Cul-De-Sac Killed
Holden Bcach officials have
scrapped a proposal to ask the state
to build a cul-de-sac at the end of
Ocean Boulevard West to give vehi
cles a place to turn around when
they reach the end of the public
road.
The four lot owners at the end of
the road, just east of the entrance to
Holden Beach West, objected to the
idea. They said a cul-de-sac would
devalue their land, take away their
property and add to existing flood
ing problems.
Commissioners had asked the
N.C. Department of Transportation
to "stake out" a cul-de-sac so they
could see what it would look like.
But town board members said Mon
day they wouldn't ask the state to
