Beaufort town father* passed a resolution Monday night "to consider annexation" of certain areas adjacent to pres ent town boundaries. Claud Wheatly, town attorney, explained that the reso lution does not mean that the town will annex, it means that a hearing will be called. Following the hearing, the town may or inay noi annex new* areas by ordinance. The hearing has been set for 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 30, in the Beau fort town hail. Prior to presentation of the reso lution, mayor W. H. Potter said, "I am of the opinion the town is not in a position to take on something of this order, in view of the poten tial repercussions." lie said that he was apprehensive of bringing into the town "1,000 un willing citizens." He recommend ed that the town continue to work on mapping the areas and "at the appropriate time, when we are ready to make a move, take in segments or the whole part as may be financially possible." The attorney said it is not feasi ble to deny the outlying areas fire service, when they can 'call sur rounding communities and obtain fire service. There are no levers, he commented, to make the per sons in the suburbs vividly aware of the benefits they receive from the town. The mayor said that everyone in the present town administration would "have a star in his crown" if they could enlarge the town and add to it a thousand cooperative citizens. He doubted that such co operation would be forthcoming in view of the recent vote, 3 V* to 1, by those citizens who would be an nexed. (The vote was against an nexation). The resolution calling for the Nov. 30 hearing passed unanimous iy The resolution points out thai all the land within the corporate limits of the town has been utilized to its full extent and ther$ is no other area for development; that town residents are forced to move out of town to build homes; that unless a town progresses, it regresses; that the town possesses, in most in stances, sufficient equipment and personnel to extend the necessary governmental services to adjacent areas, and expansion is necessary for developing a sound fire pro tection policy. The resolution further states that all those at the hearing shall be See BOARD.
