Bell, county assemblyman, to introduce a bill which would change the date newly-elected town of ficials assume their duties. At present, officials elected in May do not take office until the first of July. Under the change, the new officials would take office the Monday after the votes are canvassed and certified. The suggestion for change was made by W H. Potter, mayor elect. Mr. Potter also said that as a result of a trip to Raleigh, Sen. Luther Hamilton agreed to amend a bill regarding town ex pansion. The amendment to the state wide bill would allow qualified voters outside a town to vote on whether bonds should be issued by the town to provide funds for street lighting, garbage collection, etc., should the new areas be an nexed. Mr. Potter maintained that the prime requisite for the future of the town is extension of town limits on the north and east. Mr. Potter also reported that he appeared before county commis sioners Monday morning and re quested that the county deed to Beaufort frontage on Cedar Street for a new town hall, with the pos sibility of using the old jail as a fire station. Mr. Potter said he felt that had the commissioners voted on the matter at the time he asked, their vote would have been against it. He said he reminded the county board that the Methodist Church originally gave the entire court house square to the county. There was then some comment to the effect that maybe the town doesn't even own the present property on which it sits. To allow Potter's Pure Food store access to a parking lot at Craven and Frpnt Street, the town board authorized removal of three metera ant he east aide of Craven immediately north of Front. Tfce Potters MVe leased the property from Howard Jones and Robert Lee Humber. Mayor C. T. Lewis commented that if this ar rangement is not convenient to both the town and the store, ano ther plan could be tried. The board set the tax rate at 11.75 per hundred dollars' valua tion; poll tax SI. male dog tax tl, and female tax $2. with the sewer service fee $3.60 for each estab lishment connected. Check to cut the south curb in front of hia residence on Front Street for construction of a boat ramp.
