BY DOUG BUTTER
During a 50-minute executive session
Tuesday, Ocean Isle Beach Commissioners
authorized their town attorney
to file a lawsuit against seven
property owners who have yet to pay
sewer assessments.
According to Town Clerk Alberta
Tatum, six of those are residential
property owners, facing assessments
of $300 plus interest, and the other is
a commercial property owner who
still owes $1,300 of the original $5,368.
The assessments were to be paid in
1984.
Also during the secret session,
t i * * -?
tonurussioners authorized Town Attorney
Elva Jess to settle a pending
lawsuit concerning the condemnation
of property for the town wastewater
treatment plant.
The lawsuit involves an 86-acre
tract of land, which Ms. Jess said is
owned by about 65 individuals.
She said the matter was scheduled
to go to trial next week, but added
that the issue could probably be settled
out of court in keeping with the
desires of the town board.

missioners adopted a preliminary
assessment resolution for the dredging
of canals bordered by Laurinburg,
Monroe, Fairmont, Wilmington
and Concord streets as well as the
canal behind town hall.
Attorney Jess informed the board
that while property owners are free
to pay the assessments in advance,
they also have the option of paying
over a period of 10 years.
The canal dredging project was introduced
last month by Commissioner
Debbie Fox, who noted that
