COMMISSIONERS' MEETING, JULY 10, 1975
Commissioner McBride and Bill MacDonald reported on fire protection progress^ After
meeting with Atlantic Beach folks it was decided to draw up a five year rolling con
tract with them *• a contract which can be re-negotiated each year but not broken,
to use the Atlantic Beach fire house facilities to deal with fires in our PKS area,
Atlantic Beach is willing to equip a fire house substation here should we eventually
erect a building.
The Town will levy a 50 per hundred valuation tax in order to pay quarterly payments
to Atlantic Beach for this service — the te,x will not be levied until a referendum
is held, and it is hoped that the referendum can co-incide with the November
elections in order to avoid paying for a special one. The contract will have in it
a no profit for Atlantic Beach clause.
Several representative of PKS put in an appearance at the Salter Path Road improve
ment meetings in Raleighj they included Mayor Jajnes Redfield, Commissioners Bray and
Hicks, Ray Scoggins, and special ambassador Ed Crumley, The delays continue, in
spite of our own town's backing of immediate attention to getting on with the much
needed road repairs.
Commissioner Ramsey reported on the 201 Plan, feeling the urgent need for protection
of our water supply. Further developments will be discussed later, but it is pos
sible that Federal funds, originally hoped to be covering 1% of the cost, may only
cover 55^, Nevertheless, the Board will continue to pursue all angles of the 201
plan,
BOB 0*NEAL, Civil Defense Chairman, has asked us to remind readers to tell someone
on his committee or notify the Town Hall should they decide to leave the area
during a hurricane. This will aid the Civil Defense workers to keep count as well
as to keep watch over property in the event of looting.
LARRY JEROME'S committee on assigning house numbers has finished its job, and a list
of numbers csui be viewed at the Town Hall now, AILEEN ADAMS is willing to look
yours up for you if you call herj just tell her your lot number. The "numbers"
system will be passed at the next meeting of the board, after all residents have had
time to see what the Committee came up with. Meanwhile, we spoke with Mr, Pelletier

new terms will serve for four years,
