Three Fire Departments
Send Trucks to Fight
Raging Fires Sunday
A woods fire at Williston raged
from noon Sunday until 6 p.m.
Marshallberg and Atlantic fire de
partments had their trucks at the
blaze and Beaufort sent trucks

pump truck.
The state forestry service and
fire wardens had two tractors to
cut fire lanes for containing the
fire.
The fire started behind Dallas
Gillikin and Nimon Gillikin's
houses in Williston. It soon spread
over much of the wooded sections
around the town.
Firemen concentrated on keeping
the fire away from houses while
they were trying to get fire lanes
cut so it would burn itself out.
Residents of Williston expressed
their appreciation to members of
all three fire departments. They
said that without the help of all
of them there might have been
serious damage done.
The Marshallberg Fire Depart
ment has released the following
numbers to be called in case of
fire: Baptist parsonage, 242; Les
ter Murphy, 247; or John Valen
tine, 614.

League ot Municipalities
Official Meets with Board
Leigh Wilson, assistant director of the League of Muni*
cipalities, attended the Atlantic Beach board meeting Fri
day morning. The board met at Fleming's Motel. Mr. Wil
son was invited to the meeting to answer questions that
had been brought up in previous board meetings.
The first discussion concerned the drafting of a building
code and a zoning ordinance Thc<
board is considering doing both.
The building code would specify
uhat materials could be used in
beach construction. The zoning
ordinance, of course, would outline
areas where certain types of struc
tures would be allowed
Mr. Wilson gave the board a
step-by-step plan of procedure in
going about passing the required
legislation. No action was taken by
the board.
Commissioner Dr. N. Edward
Bizzcll asked how the town could
expand the city limits. Mr. Wilson
said that a special act in the state
legislature was the best way for a
town like Atlantic Beach. He men
tioned calling for a petition as an
other possibility.
The commissioners asked Mr.
Wilson about getting what they
consider a "fair share" of the
county's beer tax money. The tax
division is determined by popula
tion, and there arc less than 30 full
time residents of Atlantic Beach.
"We sell more beer than the rest
of the county put together," said
Mayor A. B. Cooper.
Major Problem
Mr Wilson said that doing any
thing about the division of beer tax
would be a major problem and
would probebly end up in the state
legislature.
The commissioners discussed the
possibility of putting an ABC store
on the beach. Commissioner Mil
ton Coyle said that such a store
would be a good source of revenue
for the town.
Commissioner A. F. Fleming
said that the money from such a
store could be used to butld a town
hall. The town has no place now
for keeping records, conducting
board meetings or housing a
clerk's office.
Need Fire Station
Mayor Cooper said that he would
like to see a combination city hall
fire station Commissioner H. A.
Barefoot said that the town surely
needed a place to house the new
fire truck. The truck is being kept
temporarily in a building owned by
the mayor.
Ways and means of raising funds
to pay for the truck were discuss
ed. It was finally decided that a
house-to-house solicitation program
was the best way to pay for the
truck.
Police Chief Bill Moore reported
that the beach police were crack
ing down on speeders. "We picked
up six in one night," he said. In
addition to his law enforcement
duties, the chief said that he had
erected stop signs, speed limit
signs, no parking signs and en
trance to the beach signs.
' Begin* sand rcncc
lie said that the department had
begun eonstruction of a sand fence
along the new road that has been
cut from the Salter Path road to
the beach.
The chief was instructed to in
vestigate the possibility of buy
ing a second hand radio from the
sheriff's department. The radio
would be used by police on duty
when the chief was not at the
beach in his radio equipped car.
Ck :k H. M. Kurc waa instructed
to check with Wiley Taylor to see
when he will be through with the
town's ordinance books. Mr. Tay
lor was asked to codify the entire
act of books.
The commissioners discussed the
audit report submitted by George
Scott and Co.. Charlotte. The audit
covered the town's books for the
period in which the previous town
board was in office.
Acceptance Delayed
Dr. Bizzcllc made a motion that
the company be paid for its work,
but that acceptance of the audit
report be delayed pending t com
plete study by the board. It was
seconded by Mr. Barefoot and was
passed unanimously.
The board heard a report from
Dr. Biziclle that east end property
owners were well pleased with the
agreement reached in their effort
to get the title for land between
the edge of their property and the
sea wall.
The property owners paid to have
the sea wall built at the edge of
their property toward the ocean.
Through error, the wall waa con
structed on town property.
The arrangement gives the prop
erty owners the land as far aa the
wall and gives the town the wall.
