Beach Board Investigates
Total Street Paving Program
Atlantic Beach town commission-'
era voted Saturday morning to pro
ceed further with a proposed three
year street paving program. M. O.
Coyle, clerk, reporting lor a com
mittee authorized to investigate
street paving, said that facts indi
cate the work can be done without
additional cost to the taxpayers.
Mr. Coyle said that the money
could be obtained through Powell
bill funds and ABC funds over a
\period of three years. He explain
ed. however, that the town cannot
earmark funds not in hand. The
committee was advised by W. E.
Easterling of the Local Govern
ment Commission, the clerk added,
that the money could be borrowed
from a bank, if the people voted
approval of a bond issue.
It would not be the town's in
tention to float the bonds, since
the money could be obtained from
other sources; however, authority
to float the bonds would be needed
as security to borrow money from (
a bank.
Mr Coyle and commissioner W.
L Derrickson were named to con
fer further with Mr. Easterling on
the matter.
The cost of paving all unpaved
streets in the town and resurfacing
those paved has been estimated by
a contractor at $30,526.75. The
streets would be 20 feet wide. If
they are 18 feet wide, the cost
would be about 10 per cent less.
Mayor A. B. Cooper said the pav
ing would increase property values
as well as improve traffic condi
tions and benefit the residents.
Commissioners R. A. Barefoot and
Derrickson expressed interest in
a water system before the paving
^toject.
Mayor Cooper contended that the
water system project would cost
about $75,000 and could not be han
dled without a tax raise. Mr. Coyle
said that if the voters authorize a |
bond issue for street paving and
meet obligations as proposed, cred
it would be established by the town
? so that borrowing funds for a wa
ter system would create no prob
* lem.
No one appeared to comment on
rczoning Atlantic Boulevard West
to allow building of hotels and mo
tels. The rezoning affects the north
side of the street, for one block.
The street is located behind the
Atlantic Beach hotel. The rezoned
portion runs west from the busi
ness triangle.
' The board approved expenditure
of $1,000 to correct a drainage
problem on West Boardwalk. A
4 000-gallon shellbox drain will be
placed beneath the street with
pipes draining surface water to it.
If this does not solve the prob
lem of standing water, engineers
suggest that a pump be installed
and the water run out to the ocean
through a pipe line.
The board is pursuing its quest
o have the beach highway widen
ed from the south end of the bridge
into town. The clerk was request
ed to write a letter to the State
Highway Commission asking that
it be made four-lane.
The highway commission report
ed by letter that highway signs.
Old Causeway Road, have been
erected at the proper points.
Mr. Coyle and the mayor were
' authorized to confer with Shelby
Freeman relative to location of a
site for a trash dump.
The clerk gave a financial re
port as of Nov. 30: $5,404.87 was
in the general fund; $4,131.03 in
the Powell fund and $18,061.71 in
the savings fund.
Twenty dollars was authorized
for purchase of used heavy tires
on the town pickup truck. Attend
ing the meeting, in addition to
'those mentioned, were commission
er A. L. Fleming, police chief Bill
Moore, and George McNeill, town
attorney.
The board will meet (gain in
January.

Board Rezoned
Live Oak in '54
According to reports published in
THE NEWS-TIMES in 1954. Live
Oak Street, from Ann northward
to the city limits, has been zoned
j for business.
Beaufort town commissioners, at
their recent meeting, were told
that nothing in writing could be
found to verify such action by the
board.
THE NEWS TIMES, however, on
Oct. 15, 1954, published a legal no
tice, by order of the town of Beau
fort, calling for a hearing on re
zoning Live Oak Street for Thurs
day night, Nov. 4, 1954.
The hearing was conducted and
by recommendation of Halsey
Paul, chairman of the planning
commission, the town commission
ers voted to re-zone Live Oak
Street, from Ann north, for busi
ness purposes. The report on this
meeting appeared in THE NEWS
TIMES Nov. 9, 1954.
According to law, this change
should have been indicated by re
coloring the zoning map. C. K.
WheaUy, town attorney, says this
has not been done. Minutes on the
Nov. 4, 1954 meeting were kept,
but were never entered in the
bound minute book and thus can
not be found, or at least, haven't
been found to date.
