residents were informed that this

The following resolution wasj
adopted at a special meeting of
the board at Asheville on October

effect:
"It shall be unlawful to hunt
or take quail in Brunswick county
except on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday of each week dur-!

will meet with the State

The request also involves the

is planned to have the bridge
