Four ministers, two white and two colored, presented a resolution signed by sijy ministers asking the town to see that no enterprises not necessary to the public welfare, remain open on Sunday. The ministerial croup made it plain that their plan did not or iginate with them but with interest ed church members. At first the clergymen asked the town board to enact an ordinance ! prohibiting the operation of any business on Sunday unless such operation was "necessary to the public welfare." However, after the town attorney. Wiley II Taylor, jr.. advised them that state laws at- j ready existed which prohibit any j but necessary Sunday operation. I the ministers asked the town auth 1 on tics to sec that these laws are j enforced. No Action Taken Since strict enforcement of the ministers' request would cause ex treme changes in Ihe operation' of many Beaufort businesses, the 4tfwn commissioners agreed to ae- i cept the resolution for further con- 1 sideralion but not lot immediate action. Ministers who appeared were j Winfrey Davis. I). B. McClain. M. Carter and W. I Martin. Other j names on the resolution were W K. ; Anderson and T R. Jenkins.

Storeowner Owens still complain ed that it was a hardship on his customers to have to park across Ihe street from his store rather than in front of it Comnimission er D.F. Merrill said if such was the case Owens should install drive-in facilities for his customers. No action was taken toward re moving the no parking regulation. Chief Harrell asked the board ! if any action had been taken in re- i gard to his request for a pay raise | for Beaufort's two full-time fire- j men. He was told that the commit- j tee to investigate a possible raise had not met. Commissioner Gra ham Duncan, jr., said he thought the town should think first about some means of giving the police men a day off a week and a vaca tion once a year, neither o! which they receive now.
