Town Employs Substitute Fire Truck Driver Because Allen Conway, one of the drivers for 1he Beafort Fire Department, is suffering from , | burns, the town board authorized I the hiring of tannic Smith until j Mr. Conway recovers. The board met Monday night at the town hall. Dan Walker, town clerk, report led that Mr. Conway's face was burned Saturday afternoon at his \ home when the gas tank on an old truck, being cut up for junk, exploded. It is expected that Mr. Conway will be able to return to work in about 10 days. Mr. Walker reported that the Dickinson lot, next to the Dey property on Front Street, has been offered to the town, providing it is used for recreational purposes only. The board expressed its appre ciation Cor the offer but took no ?i nip Expense* High The clerk presented the finan cial report for February. He point ed out that the street department will go in the red this year. Storm drainage work has been expon- j sive and an unexpected bill of | $1,048.25 was incurred for pipe at the new Beaufort bridge. To keep expenses down, Mr. Walker said that the street crew would have to be cut back to reg ular strength for the rest of the fiscal year. "From now until May. taxes coming in will not be enough to meet the payroll, water and lights," the cl?rk remarked. Patching Needed ' Commissioner William Roy Ham ilton commented on holes in the streets that need patching. Mr. Walker explained that there has not been time to fix the holes be cause 6f lack of manpower, and asphalt now has to be brought in ' from Kinston. Commissioner Hamilton called the board's attention to the salt spray which pours over Front Street at certain places during high southwest winds. He said wa ter action not only undermines the seawalls but prevents cars from parking along the street. No solution to the problem was suggested other than trying to get federal funds to make repairs, building a bulkhead and filling in or building a riprap. Commissioner Hamilton also sug geated that the town be more dili gent this summer in cutting grass between the curb and sidewalk throughout town. As an outgrowth of the Conway incident, Mr. Walker said that an employee handbook should be pre pared for town employees and sick leave allotted each employee. Commissioner Gerald Hill suggest ed that the town try to include in the budget for the next fiscal year three fire truck drivers instead at two. G*W SEVEN STAR ? ? * ? * ?'? *?
