Yaupon Election Date Set For Feb. 1 8 The Brunswick County Board of Elections has icniativcK set Feb. IS as the date for a special election at Yaupon Beach. The board met Monday to discuss that issue and several others. The municipal election in Nov ember was flawed because it asked voters to select two candidates for the town board when they could ac tually vote for three. Lynda Britt, county elections su pervisor, said Tuesday that the scheduled date must now go to the stale hoard ol elections lor approval. It was the vuue board that originally gave permission lor a new election date to Iv set by the county board. "We knew there was a problem rieht alter Unit election." Ms. Britt said, "and we wanted to correct it a> to our friends ami patrons from the folks at... J ^/SHALLOTTE r CLEANERS Village Rd., Shallolte ? 754-4435 soon as possible." A dispute involving elections for the Dosher Hospital Board was also discussed at Monday's meeting, hut no decisions were made in that case. A meeting of county Kurd mem bers was scheduled for 1 1 a.m. Monday. Dec. 23, in an effort to re solve die dispute, Ms. Britt said. One of the hospital board candi dates, Evelyn "Teal" Butler, had tiled a complaint contending thai the ballot gave unfair advantage to one candidate. Eugene B. Tomiinson Jr., who was named as an unopposed candidate on ihe ballot for a single four-year term. The ballot also listed lour additional candidates for two six-year terms. Ms. Butler contends that it was the understanding of trustees that filing was not specific to either die short tcrni or the longer terms, but that the lop three vote getters in the election would win the three vacant seats. Monday evening's meeting was announced in some places as having been scheduled for Dec. 20, but that was a typographical error, Ms. Briit said. *5 ^ "1!) at Ijalabash f Restaurant ?
