C WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9,1963 5c A COPY PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Explain Failure | To Get Approval On School Loan Superintendent A. W. Tay lor Says Efforts Are Con tinuing To Obtain Neeu ed Construction Money The Brunswick County Board of Education’s application to borrow $65,000 from the State Literary Fund was turned down for the "present because of limitations on the borrowing capacity of Bruns wick County as set out in the North Carolina Constitution, says Superintendent A. W. Taylor. "This constitutonal limitation is that a county cannot borrow more than two-thirds of the amount by which its outstanding indebted ness was reduced during the next preceding fiscal year without a vote of the people,” Superinten dent Taylor stated. W. E. Easteriling, secretary of the State Local Government Com mission, has notified the board that the outstanding indebtedness of the county was reduced by only $5,914.86 during the fiscal year which runs from July 1, 1962 through June 30, 1963, thereby li miting the borrowing capacity of . the county to slightly less than $4,000 during the fiscal year run ning from July 1, 1963 through June 30, 1964. On May 28, 1963, the county sent to the Local Government Commis sion the sum of $98,098.28, to be used to call for redemption and pay ment of bonds on July 1, 1963, and this was the only date during the year on which the county could call in its outstanding bonds for redemption and payment. This money was in turn forwarded to the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company in New York City, which was handling payment of the bonds, to pay the bonds on July 1, 1963, Which was done.

District Highway Commis sioner Addresses Joint Meeting O f Southport Carolina Beach Jaycees An unofficial prediction that ferry service will be established between Southport and Fort Fish er before January 1, 1965; was made by District Highway Com missioner Lauch Faircloth of Clin ton at a joint meeting of the South port and Carolina Beach Jaycees at the Tranquil Harbour restau rant at Long Beach Tuesday night While emphasizing that he was not speaking for the administra tion, Commissioner Faircloth told the approximately 60 people at tending the meeting, including 16 from Carolina Beach, that all signs point to the establishment of ferry service before the end of Governor Terry Sanford’s term of office. “I have heard from several sour ces that Governor Sanford has pro mised to establish the ferry during his term of office,” he said. “By simple arithmetic, -he will have to do it before his term expires on Jauary 1, 1965. I believe he will keep his promise and do it.” He went on to say that esta blishing the ferry does not neces sarily mean that the boat will be in operaton on January 1, 1965, but that work on docking facilities and arrangements to provide a vessel or service will be underway then. “From what many individuals have told me Governor Sanford has promised them, and from my con versations with him, I feel sure that he plans to provide the ferry during his term,” Commissioner Faircloth stated. He said he did not know when the ferry service would be in opera tion between Southport and Fort Fisher. “I am not here to announce the establishment of a ferry,” he stated. Before the service can be esta blished, he said, several problems must be worked out that have ne ver been discussed seriously be fore. “The state does not have a boat suitable for the job at the present time. I believe we will need an ocean-going craft for the opera tion,” he continued. The commissioner went on to say that “there is no question that it will be a one-boat operation at first. Then we will see how it grows.” Another problem to be solved in connection with the ferry is how much time it will be in use during the year. “We have no reason to : believe that it will not be idle eight months a year or at least during the winter months.” All studies concerning the ser vice have indicated a yearly aver age of vehicle travel on the ferry, he said. But no study has been able to indicate the seasonal de mand for the service because there is no facility to handle such traf- i fic. Still another problem concerns the safety standards required by the Coast Guard for the ferry. They will probably require a large crew because of the distance of the trip, he added. “These and other problems must be solved before the ferry can be established,” he said. “As you can see, it is not a simple matter.” While saying the ultimate deci sion rest with the Highway Com mission, he admitted the governor has a lot to say about the matter because of the great amount of money involved. Continued On rage * Hours Extended For Service At - Two Libraries New Schedule Affects Both Southport And Shallotte Public Libraries As Hours Are Added L. Effective Monday, October 14, service in the Shallotte Public Library will be increased from six to twelve hours weekly, a dr cording to an announcement from Robert G.
