Isn't That A House ?

Luckily for the moving crew, traffic h as light on Second Street at Ocean Isle Beach when two Jlat tires slowed efforts to relocate "Surf W
Sands from a temporary resting place to a new permanent site a short distance away. Meanwhile, the sight of a house parked in the middle
of the road drew a few second takes from motorists as they detoured to First Street.
Calabash Board Preparin
g For 911
BY DOUG RUTTKR
Calabash officials last week con
tinued preparing for the introduction
of the 91 1 emergency telephone ser
vice in Brunswick County.
Commissioners approved a
name change for one of the town's
streets and reaffirmed two others at
their meeting last Tuesday.
Wilson Street was renamed
Madison Street. The board con
firmed an earlier vote to change
Sunset Place to Egret Court and
Boundary Court to Clcek Court.
County officials arc trying to
name every street in the county and
asking towns to name their own so
fire and rescue workers will be able
to locate homes once the emergency
phone system starts operating.
Town commissioners approved
new spellings for seven streets last
week and voted to keep six names
that the county had proposed to
change.
"I feel we won on this one be
cause we don't have to make a lot of
changes and we can stay the same,"
Commissioner Ray Card said.
Budget Season Looms
Commissioner Jon Sanborn last
week urged his fellow board mem
bers to start working on items relat

possible.
Several town contracts expire
when the current fiscal year ends
June 30, he said, and the board will
need to know about any changes in
costs when it sums working on the
new budget.
San bom also said the board has
to decide how the town should han
dle code enforcement in the future.
Building Inspector Ed Schaack,
a part-time employee, presently
spends part of his lime enforcing or
dinances. But officials agree all of
the rules arc not enforced equally
due to lack of time.
Mayor Pro tern George
Anderson, who was out of town and
missed last week's meeting, thinks
the town should consider separating
the building inspector and code en
forcement officer positions, accord
ing to Sanborn.
As another alternative, Sanborn
said the town could hire one person
on a full-time basis to handle both
jobs.
Sanborn also reported last week
that Calabash will probably receive
about S20,000 less than it expected
from the state in local option sales
tax this fiscal year. The town bud
geted S135,(X)0.
