However, Fuller said Southern Bell does not recommend that the installation expenses be paid through subscriber billing, because the companies wouid have to poll subscribers to get their approval. The extra expense would be added to the installation costs. Also, the county still would have to pay for the poll if it didn't pass. One factor that will affect installation costs is the number of answering points the 911 system requires here. Ritz said the $194,000 estimate involved a primary answering point "in the Bolivia area" and a backup point in diiiw'i ouuiupui i ui ijuh^ oeacn. Ritz said answering points also rould be installed in other areas of the county but at additional costs. Logan lias indicated that the difference in installation costs between laving only one answering point and adding the backup point is about ?40,000. Is Probation ioy's Death when the victim suffered a single wound to the head from a .357 Magnum handgun. Investigators initially said it appeared that Williamson accidentally shot himself. An autopsy at the regional medical examiner's office in Jacksonville was inconclusive as to whether or not the shootins was inflicted, Brunswick County Sheriff's Det. Lindsay Walton said in August. Faircloth was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter on Aug. 6, after "evidence obtained From the scene showed that it was not a self-inflicted wound," Walton said. He indicated that both Williamson and Faircloth were playing with the gun and apparently didn't know it was loaded. HOW TO SI | THE BRUNS POST OFFICE E SHALLOTTE.

Ms. Leggett said Tuesday that no measles cases have been reported yet in Brunswick County. But "with every little rash, people suspect it's measles," she said, noting that the closest reported case of measles has been in New Hanover County. The current measles outbreak is concentrated in Rowan and Cabarrus counties, Ms. Leggett said. But due to the highly contagious nature of the disease, the health department recommends that specific groups be immunized. They include: Individuals between 15 months and 32 years of age who have not already had measles inoculations or are unsure of their immunization record.
