NORTH BRUNSWICK WINNERS in preliminary com petition for Odell and Virginia Williamson Scholarships are, left to right, Mike Skipper, Doretha Alston, Tina Philpott and w Frank Scearce. North Brunswick Principal Nelson Best poses with the contestants, who now compete on the county level for scholarships (one boy, one girl) valued at $1,800 apiece. ^J* jpQJ* (Continued from Page One) should allocate additional hospital beds tor Brunswick County, he said. Success of the move would allow con tinued operation and ex pansion of Dosher Memorial Hospital. The county is currently allocated only 60 acute-care hospital beds. The county hospital at Supply has state approval of {dans for 64 acute-beds. County authorities have repeatedly called for assurances that Dosher will close when the new hospital opens, late 1975 or early 1976. The aldermen voted to commend Police Chief Herman Strong for a recent marijuana seizure and for persuading an armed protestor to peaceably surrender. Strong three times entered a house unarmed to talk with a youth who ap parently was protesting the dismantling of his childhood residence. Strong asked the aldermen ;for authorization to crack diown on loitering in the town. Strong was instructed to work with Prevatte on an or dinance to prevent loitering. “I’ll see what I can come up with,” said Prevatte. The attorney said the U.S. Supreme Court has declared “vagrancy” laws un constitutional. However, he said, some municipalities have successfully coped with the same problem by enac ting a curfew. “We have a real bad dope problem in this town,” die (police chief said in justification for his request. “They have free run of our town, day or night.” Tomlinson suggested that a recreation center might help -solve the problem. “We can’t turn our backs completely on the respon sibility we have to our young people,” he said. Alderman Harold Davis replied that such a center at Union Hall is only “effective for younger children.” Davis said an educational program on drug abuse is needed. The alderman asked that the public be informed that trash burning is against state law and city ordinances. Komegay said the town provides weekly pick-up of trash and debris, including leaves. The aldermen approved three recently - advertised zoning changes recom mended by the Planning and < Zoning Board. , Lt. Col. Herbert A. Franck charged that zoning chair man W.B. McDougle, a real estate agent, has a conflict of interest with his zoning position. “We feel it is no place for a real estate agent ^ ... to sit on the Planning and Zoning Board,” Franck said. Aldermen presented ; several defenses of Mc ?■ Dougle’s chairmanship. Tomlinson said the aldermen attempt to “appoint men of integrity” who “will divest their personal interest.” However, he said, the aldermen would consider Franck’s complaint when zoning board positions are > vacated and open to new appointments. Alderman Harold Aldridge said the real estate ap pointment was recommended by the state Department of Natural and Economic Resources “during the early stages of planning and zoning.” Alderman A.A. Martin, also a real estate businessman, defended public service of members of his profession. He said he was “thankful for being elected.” His professional service, he said, enabled him to better serve the public. The board also recom mended to the planning and zoning group a relaxing of the 75-foot set-backs in business districts along Howe and Nash streets. Inititating the recommendation, Howard urged the set-backs be reduced to 25 feet. He said the 75-foot restriction prevents use for construction of even one-third of the area of business lots in that section. The recommendation called for the set-backs to be at least 25 feet withdrawn from the road. The aldermen voted to use the state plumbing code ef fective April 15. Komegay said the city code is no longer legally enforceable. At his request, Howard was appointed to purchase a street sweeper. Komegay was Instructed to work with local construction companies to develop a truck route through the city. Home, at his request, was appointed by Tomlinson to research ordinances to regulate the cutting of trees on city proerpty. Aldermen voted to enter a lease-purchase agreement for a two-ton truck from Mlntz Chevrolet. Howard explained the move will allow use of the truck now, with the funds to be budgetteu later for purchase. The board voted to donate 1250 to the Junior Woman's Club to be used on a playground project near the town hall. The board also voted to allocated $1,000 for two months to the Southport Bicentennial Commission. William Crowe, chairman of the group, said the funds will be used to purchase a tape recorder and to research local history. He said the grotg) will record the memories of senior citizens knowledgeable in local history. The aldermen read a letter complaining of discon tinuance of local taxi service by a Southport franchise. The board explained that the town will allow any agency to operate a cab service. A private cab company recently discontinued their operations, reportedly because of the energy crisis. Cost Of New (Continued from Page One) we’re meddling in their business." “We think that they (Charter) may have some expertise that we ought to take advantage of,” An derson said. Kopp praised the medical consulatnat corporation, crediting them with doctor recruitment and Dosher’s financial success the past three months. Kopp said Dosher is “operating In an efficient capacity simply because of Charter Medical and no other reason.” As the meeting ended, Kopp “urged” the trustees “to continue with speed an let us worry about the money.” A revised project cost estimate was supplied at the meeting, reflecting the in creased costs. Early School (Continued from Page One) Howard, Mrs. Rourk and Mrs. Ralph Nordquest. Mrs. Paul Stuck and Dr. Margaret Whisenhint were appointed to the Family Planning task force. The county, acting as an agent with no financial responsibility, in the project moved to secure for the Long Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad an ambulance, with the board chairman authorized to complete the agreement when the beach squad delivers the check for its half of the vehicle cost. WATER FUNDING A resolution that would “get applications in the mill’’ for funding Phase n of the county water distribution system was approved by the board. Included in part two’ ofthe project will be water for Leland, Holden Beach, Calabash, Shallotte and Ocean Isle Beach — the latter community having spent, according to Kopp, “$50,000 in the town system to faring the line across the In tracoastal Waterway so they could tap on” to county water lines. There have been problems with Ocean Isle water sup plies, Kopp noted, that make the availability of county water a necessity. FIRING RANGE Julian Bowman, chairman of the Brunswick Cointy Law Enforcement Association, asked commissioners to make clear who will have control of a firing range already funded for the cointy. “We don’t think it should come under one man (the sheriff),” Bowman sidd, adding that such an arrangement could become “a political thing”. Vardell Hughes, agreeing with Bowman, said, “that opinion would be mine.” The board asked the cooperation of municipalities in planning firing range policies, and in determining what financial respon sibilities the towns should bear. The board delayed action on re-roofing the “ag” (Agricultural Extension) building at Supply, citing “vague” proposals by Barnes Roofing of Wilmington and Quality Roofing of Shallotte. The proposals — and not bids — were for $3,000 and $2,000, respectively, but were based on the use of different materials. One figuring of square footage may have to be re-computed, also. BIDS FORTHCOMING County Manager Nell Mallory reported that bids for construction of Phase I of the county water system may be ready for advertising by the first of May, and he was authorized to proceed when the engineer said go. The three-part bid will be for the tank foundation, the tank, and water lines. Drilling of a test well on NC 211 has been completed, Malloi*y told the board, and the driller has moved to a Leland area site. He also reported that he and Con sulting Engineer Troy Doby were to meet Tuesday night with a steering committee inter ested in helping form a sanitary district at -Leland. A special meeting was called for April 23 (Tuesday) at the Hood Building to discuss with area volunteer fire departments the availability of FMHA funds that must be repaid. DEAD ANIMALS Kopp reported a recent conversation with a Department of Agriculture representative concerning the removal of dead domesticated animals, a responsibility of the county “when ownership cannot be determined.” This does not involve small dead animals (like dogs and cats) or wild animals (like deer and bear), but mainly livestock. The Health Department was designated “agent” for the removal and deposition of the carcasses. At the urging of Com missioner Bray, the board addressed a resolution to the Dept, of Natural and Economic Resources asking that the licensing of com mercial boats be returned to the local level. “Quite a bit of dismay” has been caused by owners having to apply in writing to Morehead City for licenses, the Southport commissioner noted. MEETING CLOSED Chairman Kopp said earlier in the meeting that County Attorney Thomas Horne was to meet with the board during the day. but while the commissioners were in a 20-minute executive session, reportedly for “personnel”, Home entered the closed room and was present with the board for 15 minutes. After the session ended, Home left. No business was discussed with the attorney during the meeting while it was open to the public. MOSQUITO MACHINE Clemmons was authorized to proceed with the purchase of four mosquito spraying machines that reportedly will reduce air pollution and eliminate the use of fuel oil — 20,000 gallons of which was used during a four-month period for mosquito control. The four machines (I’m proposing we buy four, and hoping to get three,” said Clemmons) will cost $2,645 each, less battery, delivered and with two days’ in struction. Commissioners are banking on the energy crisis to speed the purchase. “In an emergency, bids could be passed up,” said a board member. Clemmons said, “It’s the economics of it," noting that local funds for mosquito control were gone. “The mosquitoes determined that for us.” (Ed Harper) Superior Court (Continued from Page One) months.
