lin the election for Mayor and
expressed the opinion that dur
ing his administration he could
depend upon the support and
cooperation of every member.
Mayor Mitchener then official
ly opened the meeting with a
prayer petitioning the Almighty
for guidance in every undertak
ing. He stated that the decision
made 23 months ago when he
was appointed Mayor to succeed
the late David Holton was con
firmed by Edenton. voters and
that the responsibilities he as
sumed cannot be taken lightly.
Mr. Mitchener briefly set out
a number of ideas he had in
mind for consideration. These
included waterfront improve
ment, parking area, immediate
and rapid approach to a sew
age treatment plan, a drainage
survey, school assistance and
| county help. He touched upon
industrial development, including
airport authority, an operator at
the airport, use of the entire
base area and contacting an air
line for future development. He
expressed his appreciation of the
efforts on the part of Town
Council and the Industrial Com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce in connection with seek
ing new industry and said he
hoped these efforts will bear
fruit.
Mayor Mitchener also ad
vanced his idea of a few ad
ministrative changes. He sug
gested that a fire commissioner
and police commissioner be ap
pointed from Town Council in
stead of these duties as now be
iny placed on the Mayor. He
favored the continuation of
Street Commissioner, finance
committee, parks and play
grounds commission and a liai
son officer between Town Coun
cil and the Board of Public
Works. He also recommended
the appointment of a director
for the cemetery.
The Mayor stated that he fa
vors staggered terms for town
(officials and that a public hear
ing should be called to deter
mine how the electorate feels
about it. He complimented the
heads of the various departments
and urged each department to
take advantage of various
schools for instruction and that
department heads serve in the
capacity of public relations. He
also urged a planning commis
sion for the town and county,
urging the Chamber of Com
merce and various civic clubs to
cooperate for the future welfare
of Edenton and the county.
“The state of North Carolina
enjoys a proud national reputa
tion for good government,” said
Mr. Mitchener, “and in North
Carolina good government is a

habit. 1 believe we should not
break that habit in Edenton. I
know that‘you are aware of your
responsibilities to balance the
benefits aind the burdens of our
fair city and that you will solve
the problefns confronting us and
that new ones will not be creat
ed for the Town of Edenton.”
The agenda for Town Council
was very lengthy and despite
the fact that the meeting lasted
,until almost 12:30 A. M., the
business was not completed, so
that an adjourned meeting was
called for Wednesday night of
this week at 8 o’clock.
A considerable amount of time
was devoted to consideration of
purchasing a garbage compact
unit and a crawler loader trac
tor to be used in connection with
the land fill for disposing of
trash and garbage. A film was
presented showing the units in
operation. Luther Parks pre
sented a detailed report regard
ing both units, pointing out that
the new equipment will cost in
the neighborhood of $20,000.
While no definite action was
taken, a motion was made and
passed to advertise for bids for
the necessary equipment.
The Councilmen also consid
ered a request from the local
National Guard Unit and Eden
ton Jaycees. The National Guard
desires a portion of the base for
a bivouac area and firing range,
while the Jaycees have request
ed the use of a side asphalt
apron of the »orth-south run
way to install and operate a Go-
Kart race track. The purpose,
it was stated, is to provide more
recreational facilities and bring
more people into Edenton. No
action was taken pending con
sultation with the Industrial
Committee relative to possible
interference with industrial pros
pects.
Some time was also devoted
to the charter and ordinances
in an effort to bring them up
to-date. However, the time in
volved in reviewing the ordi
nances will be great, so that the
Councilmen were instructed to
read over the charter and ordi
nances, take notes as to possi
ble deletions or changes to be
considered at a subsequent
meeting or meetings. The char
ter and ordinances are on dis
play in the Municipal Building,
where any interested citizen
may look them over.
James Edward Privott was
granted a permit to drive a
taxicab.
Cecil Barnett, representing the
local Tasty Freeze, appeared be
fore the Councilmen relative to
complaints in connection with
operating a truck to sell his pro
ducts. The complaints had to
do with the noise caused by
playing records and ringing a
bell. The Councilmen arrived at
a decision that Mr. Barnett
would be allowed to operate the
truck from 10 A. M., to 8 P. M„
but that no solicitations for busi
ness be made by the truck on
Sundays.
Fire Chief W. J. Yates pre
sented a request to include in
his Fire Department budget an
item for a unit of communica
tion for the Fire Department
road tamers are responsible). Inspect the advantages of
the finely built Body by Fisher (none can match it in
Chevrolet’s field). Look over the full selection of models
and compare the prices (18 Six and V 8 Jet-smooth Chevies
are priced below comparable competitive models*). ■ So
now you know why more people are buying Chevies than
any other make. Just one other thing—check the sweet
trade-in allowance your Chevrolet dealer can offer you
now. See how easy it is to blossom out in a new Chevrolet?
which would greatly increase the
efficiency of the department by
putting it in direct touch with
the new department at Cross
Roads or any other branch
which might be organized later.
Mr. Yates hoped some of the ex
pense would be borne by Civil
Defense and that the cost to the
department would be somewhere
between SBOO and SI,OOO. He
was authorized to proceed with
the figures which, of course,
would depend upon the condi
tibn of the new town budget for
1961-62.
