Jeroae proposed that the rewrite be anended so as to continue a provision forbiddi^^
thij digging of boat slips from the Sound or the Canal into private lots, continuie a pro^^
vision forbidding the construction of marine railways in Pine Knoll Shores, and a
provision requiring property owners to maintain the bulkheads and docks on their property,
Dixson said he thoughtstudy also should be given to the possibility of req.uiring all
property owners on the canal to install bulkheads* The present regulations exempt owners
of several lots from having to build bulkheads because it was felt there was no danger of
silting from those lots.

Morehead City that it be allowed to use Town Hall for worship services until a mission to
serve the Bogue Banks area can be built. The board approved a motion by Commissioner

with Buurl a proposed parking area for boats and trailers behind town hall.

The sight of Martin Mims busily selling shrimp from the back of his pickup truck at
the intersection of Salter Path Road and Oakleaf Drive recently prompted some citisens to
stop and lay in a supply shrimp. But it irritated some folks, including some of the
Atlantic Beach seafood merchants, so much that they called Town Hall to
PEDDLER B^ voice their complaints. Some of the callers had visions of the town's
IS STUDIED roads being lined with small merchants dispensing their wares, an unsight^
'' mess to be sure. Some of the seafood dealers complained of unfair competi
tion. They pointed out they paid rent on thsir property, the wages of their help and their
taxes. What they did not know before they called was that town officials had done their
best to discourage Mims, They had charged him $100 for a privilege license, the maxi^jUL
the town is allowed to charge under state law and four times more than any other lice^^
of the town is paying.
