accompanied by the members of her Board, appeared before the Commissioners and reminded
them that as yet the $6,500 promised by the State for use of the uporading of the admin-
istrative department had not been received. She suggested that since the funds were
not used in the salary increases they might be used in the improvement of new adminis-
trative offices. She had in mind the building adjacent to the southside of the Court
House property known as the Goodrich Building or possibly the old Loyai Order of Moose
Building on North 3rd Street. She pointed out the inconveniences of the cut up offices
and those which are separated in different parts of the building. During the discuss-
ion which followed, Mr. Metts raised the question as to whether or not a complete renova-
_tion of t'he present quarters might meet the requirements and prove satisfactory. After
'considering the ideas of the various Commissioners, Mr. Braak offered a motion that the
Chairman be authorized to investigate the possibilities of securing new quarters, includ-
ing the renovation of the old offices and,if necessary, empioy an architect as a consult-
ant and report back as soon as possible to the Board. It eaas seconded by Ntr. INetts,

ions by telephone they had agreed to the settlement of $11,842.26 for damages to the

? /SCHOOL SALARY ADJUSTMENT - ?!
i A request was received from 5chool Superintendent Dr. William H. Wagoner for ad-
justing school salaries from Unanticipated Funds for the Supplementary Budget in the
amount of $3,614.86. These funds represent receipts from the State for Contingency
Salaries for the school year 1960-61 and paid in September of 1961. It is necess-
ary for an appropriation of these funds to cover the deficit in the Supplementary Bud-
get account. In planning the Budget, the net County cost was used instead of the
total cost. Mr. Metts offered a motion that $3,611}.86 be approprfated from Unantici-
pated Funds to be used specifically for the purpose outlined above. It was seconded
by Mr. Braak and unanimously carried.
?ROAD PETITION -
Petitions for the addition of Alabama Avenue, 4th Avenue, 5th Avenue, 6th
and 7th Avenue, all in Wilmington Beach Subdivision, to the Secondary Road System and
a petition for opening, grading and maintaining a road from Elisha Avenue, near the
Green Meadows Subdivision, to Long Leaf Acres Subdivision. were received and after
given consideration, upon motion of Mr. Broadhurst, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, unanimously
approved and ordered sent to the State Highway Commission for their consideration.
PERSONAL CITATION -
Mr. William F. Snyder, local newscaster, reported to the Board that Mr.
Sherwood Versteeg, news director of Radio Station WKLM was recently awarded a citation
by the United Press Internationas as being the number one news commentator in North
Carolina and that Radio Station WKLM was selected for an award for the best community
awareness. Mr. Metts offered a motion that this achievement be recogni2ed and offic-
ially inscribed in the records. It was second by Nr. Broadhurst and unanimously
approved by the Board. '
'CAP TRAGEDY -
Mr. William F. Snyder also stated that while he was present, he would like
to call attention to some observations which had come to his attention during the time
it was his painful duty to cover the recent aircraft disaster at Bleuthenthal Field
during the C.A.P. Friendship Days' celebration. While all of the employees and others
present assisted in every way possible to help in the tragic circumstances, one particu-
lar employee went above and beyond the duty expected of him as an airport employee.
with his bare hands, he shattered the glass which trapped the pilot and co-pilot and
pulled them both out of the burning plane. He seemed to have no fear of his own
danger and, in fact, on several occasions his own clothes were on fire and had to be
extinguished by the firemen on hand. His name is Charlie L. Nixon, who has been with
the County more than 15 years. He suggested that letters of commendation should be
sent to the Rural Volunteer Fire Departments, Highway Patrol, Sheriffts Department,
the Combined Control Tower at the Airport, as well as the pilot of the helicopter
which hovered over the wreck and deflected the flames so that the firemen could remove
the victims. It would be fine, he said, if the individuals could be invited to a
meeting of the Board at which time they would be awarded citations and possibly re-
imbursed for the clothing which they had lost on aecount of being damaged in the rescue
work. There were many others who did heroic service and should be also recognized,
however, he realized that you could never ascertain the names of all who had helped
in this time of stress. After discussing this situation, Mr. Metts offered a motion
that the County employees attend the next Board meeting at which time they would be
awarded a citation certificate and that others be sent letters of commendation for
their efforts. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously adopted by the Board.
IDAMAGE REPLACEMENT •
It was also reported that the foam used by the Volunteer Fire Departments
should be replaced and any other damage caused at that time, including the wearing
apparel of the individuals who participated in it. Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion
that the foam and clothes be replaced at the expense of the County and sufficient money
appropriated from the Airport EmerSency Fund to cover it. It was seconded by Mr.
Metts and unanimously approved. •
IDITCHING P.ETITION
Mr. C. M. Ward presented a petition, signed by the property owners alongside
of Wildcat Branch, agreeing to furnish a right-of-way for dragline work on the ditch.
By common consent of the Board, the Executive Secretary was ordered to refer the
petition to the Consolidated Board of Health since the dragline has been transferred
to their department.
IWILMINGTON COLLEGE
1'he Executive Secretary informed the Board that he had been approached by
47ilmington Coliege for use of the dragline in loading some stumps and logs from the
Athletic Field. By common consent of the Board, authority was given £or the use of
the dragline by the college provided there was no expense to the County.
IINJURY CLAIMS -
Letters were received from Attorney H. E. Rodgers explainSng that his clients
Nora Lee Lovett and Thurman Turner,;were both injured while prisoners at the County
Farm. He stated that their request had been turned down by the Industrial Commission
handling Workmen's Compensation and he thought the County might want to make some sort
of settlement with them on the account of their in,juries, which kept them from working
after their releases. Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that any payment be refused.
It was seconded by Mr. Metts and unanimously approved.
I ADVERTISING
The Chairman explained that he had been contacted by the publishers of '
"Travel Along Highway 1%" Magazine which will emphasize the arrival of the USS Battle-
ship North Carolina in its next issue which will have a'circulation of.,more than ,
60,000 copies. An advertisement of one page will cost approximately$L{,00.00 which• ?
+..ould be shared equally by the City and County. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, seconded ?
by Mr. Metts, the Board unanimously allocated not more than $200.00 from the Advertising I
Fund for this purpose.

Board of Education. The Deputy Collector is increasing his personnel on
account of the 3% Sales Tax Law and the Auditing Division is likewise forced to employ_
new help to keep up with their work. The space which they now occupy is too smali and
' they, need some additional office space. The porch and hall portion of the vacated space
would meet their needs. After discussing this matter, the Board, by common consent,
agreed for the Chairman to negot.iate with the State in an effort to see if some arrange-
ments could be made for payment. for the space occupied by the State Department of Revenue.
NEIGHBORHOOD TOGETHERNESS - /
Mr. Braak commented that he thought it would be worthwhile for the Boards of
County Commissioners of the surrounding counties to meet together occasionally to discuss
informally the problems which are faced by each of us in Southeastern North Carolina.
Besides creating a good neighbor policy among themselves it would lend itself to more '
influence in securing improvements from outside sources. By common consent, ttie Board
acted favorably upon this suggestion and Mr. Mayhan offered a motion that the Boards of
County Commissioners from Brunswick, Onslow and Pender counties be invited to a dinner
meeting with the IVew Hanover County Board on Noveinber20, 1961. It was seconded by Mr.
Braak and unanimously approved.

for the occasion will be Mr. James Q. duPont of •the Public Relations Department of E. I.
duPont deMours and Company of Wilmington, Deleware. The Chairman urged each member who
could to attend this meeting as the FaculLy and Advisory Group of the school is import-
ant to us in that we can give the State-wide Advisory Committee information and they are
composed of strong and influential men in the Industrial and Financial fieids which
might be of considerable importance to our area.

ed it.
