Health Officials
Present Report

ed, together with maps pointing
jout sanitation deficiencies, which
' were fully explained to members
of the Council.
The report showed that 1,33 v
residences were observed during
the survey which were classified
as good, fair, and poor. It was
pointed out that 30 privies are
still in use in Edenton as well
as 52 vogals. The survey was
broken down to take in housing,
water supply, sewage disposal,
refuse sanitation, lumber,-rubblej
and artificial containers, animals
and poultry mosquito control.
Quite a lengthy list of recom
mendations was presented in the
report for each category, most
of which are inexpensive. It
was pointed out, however, that
only with the active support and
whole-hearted cooperation of
the town, together with the citi
zens of Edenton, will the plan
be carried out to h6lp prevent
disease and freedom of annoy
ance from insects and rodents
and making the citizens healthier
and happier.
The report urged that every
effort be made to eliminate sub
standard housing and that con
sideration be given to the adop
tion of a minimum housing ordi
nance.
It recommends that all premis
eh having privies that are with
in 200 feet of a public sanitary
sewer be required to eliminate
this method of excreta disposal
and attach to the town sewer
system and that all flush type
toilets be constructed inside
main building or residences.
As to refuse sanitation, the re
port recommends reduction of
collection at private; -premises
from daily to two times a week,
with considerations belpj; made
for backyard pickup. .itprovides

nesses and commercial establish

use containers to be of stand
ard construction and size, 20 to
32 ggallon capacity with tight
fitting lids. It provides for all
containers to be placed in racks
or holders of such construction
|to prevent overturning by dogs,
to facilitate cleaning around the
area of the can and to add to
the life of the container. Cer
tain days or time would be des
ignated for the pickup of trash
and refuse that has been placed
on the curb.
The report urges that the sani
tary landfill method for disposal
of garbage be continued, utiliz
ing the trench method as recom
mended by the Stale Board of
Health and that citizens should
continue to use free rat poison
which is available at the county
agent’s office and Health Depart
ment.
The report recommends that
the town employ on a full time
or part time basis a person to
advise and direct a general
house-to-house clean-up program.
All usable lumber required to
be stacked 15 inches off the
ground and that all lots be cut
and cleaned at least twice a
year.
According to the recommenda
tions all animal and fowl ordi
nances should be enforced and
to consider amending present or
dinances to include minimum
distance requirements.
As to mosquito controls, the
town was advised to use various
precautions in preventing of |
breeding and that the potential I
mosquito propagation sites he ’
surveyed at weekly intervals
j beginning April 8 and ending
'November 8, and treat actual
mosquito breeding sites with a
suitable larvicide.
The representatives from the
two Health Department were
asked about the spraying sys
tem now in use in Edenton.
They recommended the contin
jued use of this method to help
reduce the mosquito nuisance.
Mayor John Mitchener, on be
half of Town Council, thanked
the group for their efforts and
stated that serious consideration
would be given to the recom
mendations and hoped various
[groups in Edenton would adopt
! some of them as a project.
A delegation of Jaycees ap
peared at the meeting to pre
sent a report of a traffic sogn
survey which was recently com
pleted in Edenton. It was point
ed out that 291 signs were
| checked and that of this number
1226 needed some kind of change
|or repairs.
The Councilmen were inform
.ed that the Edenton Jaycees was
one of three clubs to complete
the survey, which is a state
wide project. Mayor Mitchener
also thanked the Jaycees for the
report and expressed the hope
that something will be done to
remedy the situation.
With a recent Housing and
Home Finance Agency grant to
extend water and sewer sys
tems, a resolution was adopted
to assess property owners for
these extensions.
Considerable time was devot
ed to the proposal to pave the
parking area back of the Belk-
Tyler store. It was agreed to
accept the offer of the Belk-
Tyler store to pay a rental of
$l5O a year for the area and
that it would be hardsurfaced
by the town. It is estimated
that the area will accommodate
in the neighborhood of 70 cars,
and the general opinion of the
Councilmen was that the park
ing would be free so that no
parking meters would be in
stalled.
Permission was given for use
of the fire station, on the base
property for conducting an in
dustrial school for automobile
mechanics and stenographers.
The school will be sponsored by
the North Carolina Employment
Commission.
The Councilmen declined to
accept back taxes on a plot 80
x 108 on the Baer property on
which it is planned to erect an
apartment building. Some con
sideration was also given to
changing parking meters so that
two meters would be placed on
one post.
