Williamson Is Backing Museum Brunswick County Repre sentative Thinks Legis lature Will Give Favor able Action By ODELL WILLIAMSON Last Thursday the House and Senate Appropriations subcommit tee recommended to the full com mittees of both House and Sen ate the $80,000 item for a muse um at old Brunswick Town. It will be necessary now to get this recommendation through the com mittees and also to have the bill passed in the House and also in the Senate. Our chance of get ting this appropriation through the General Assembly looks pret ty good, although you never know until the bill has passed both houses. I can assure you that both Senator Walton and I are doing all we can to bring this about. The Senate tailed to concur m the House amendment to the so called “elected officials’ salary raise’’ bill. For all practical pur poses, I guess this means that the bill is killed. As I understand it, under a separate bill passed in 1955, the county commission ers still have the authority to raise the salaries of all elected officials 10 percent in case they see fit. Under my amendment they would havfe been able to raise any one -or all by this amount. After having succeeded in the early part of the session in elim inating two Board of Education members who were put on by our present system of preferen tial vote in the primary and con firmation by the Legislature, Sen ator Walton has introduced a new bill. The bill that he has intro duced would let the various can didates from the school districts run in the primary on what is known as a non-partisan ballot. The winners would be placed or the general election ticket foi confirmation. If this bill passes (and as of now, I am inclined tc be for it), it would in effect keep the Legislature from being able to override the preference of the people. I assume that the three members who would not be run ning in the 1964 general electior would still be subject to juggling by the Legislature, if it so desir ed, as they were appointed prior to the enactment of this bill.

Wilmington Consultant Engin eer Henry Von Osen presented a new preliminary plan of the pro posed basin. The $100,000 storm barrier, constructed of sand and approximately 100-feet wide and 10 to 15 feet above the water, would reach about 2,000 feet across the march land separating the Inland Waterway from the project site and the present basin. ' The east end of the large bar rier would be connected to land by a smaller one and would sepa rate the new barrier from the present basin. A 320-foot wide opening in the large barrier would provide access to the new facility. The need for the barrier was questioned by sev.eral members who pointed out the natural pro tection afforded by Baldhead Is land and the Oak Island pensin sula.
