Koberson reported to the commissioners in Tuesday morning's meet ing dial Ik* counted 4b above-ground LP gas tanks and si* underground tanks. He said he noticed thai many of the tanks were not only above ground, but were also placed directly under the house they served. While there's little the town can do regarding the tanks as long as they meet state and county regulations, Roberson suggested that bccausc of possible storm hazards the tanks might need to he anchored. Commissionei Terry Barbcc agreed with Koberson that a tank that was [Hilled loose and washed away in a storm would be dangerous. Commissioner Debbie Fox suggested that die town require residents to register their tanks with the town, so that emergency evacuation offi cers and fire department volunteers would know they exist Mayor Williamson asked Koberson and Barbee to work out plans lor registering the tanks, as well as to continue counting the number of tanks on the island.

IK Knapp viul the existing articles ol iiiiorpoiation "give the board ol directors license to steal.

He said it's a natural transition to limn the powers ol the board of di rectors in a maturing community where the developer is no longer the major pioperty owner. Shallotte Sets Nov. 29 Deadline To Enter Parade Local businesses, church groups and other organisations interested in participating in the annual ShaJloue Christinas Parade have until Nov. 29 to register. This year's parade is scheduled Saturday, Dec. 7, at 10 a.m. in down town Shallotte, said town secretary Phcbie McLean. Parade entries will follow the same route as last year, gathering at Shallotte Middle School and following Blake Street to U.S. 17 and then going north to the Smith Avenue traffic light. Once again, Santa Claus is expected to ride through town at the end of the parade lineup and greet children afterward. The entry fee is $35 for businesses. Floats can be rented for S225, or SI 50 for half of a float. There is no charge for non-profit groups such as churches and public schools. Mrs McLean said the town had received 33 entries through last Friday, including several local fire departments, beauty queens and sad dle clubs. Among the entertainers will be the Arab Choo-Choo, Keystone Cops, Sudan Temple Drum and Bugle Corps and Dunn Clowns. For safety reasons, organizers are asking that no children be allowed to throw candy from parade entries this year. Adults with candy should throw it away from the floats to reduce the chancc of children running into the street and getting injured.
