Upon motion of Mr. Mayhan, seconded by Mr. Metts, the minutes of the regular
meeting held on June !}th, 1962 and the Special meetings held on June 11, 1962 and June

NENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM- - '
Pursuant to the action of the Board at the meeting on June 28th with reference
to making a decision on the Mental Health Program for the ensuing fiscal year including a
Budget amounting to $45,000.00 the Chairman observed that the meeting was open for any
questions that might need answering before a vote was taken. After answering all the
questions that were made, Mr. Metts offered a motion that the Budget presented by the
Mentai Heaith Department of the Consolidated Board of Health be approved as presented.
It was seconded by Mr. Braak but before the vote was taken, Mr. Mayhan offered a substi-
tute motion that the amount for Mental Health Program be approved the same as in 1961-62
fiscal year. The substitute motion was seconded by Nr. Bro2dhurst. Before this vote
was taken, a discussion ensued in which Mrs. Bleuthenthal, a member of the Mental Health
Board, explained that a previous attempt at a Child Guidance Clinic had been a failure
because of a lack of a planned program such as is being promoted in the Mental Health
Center. Mrs. AlicO M. Sisson observed that the present program for handling the mental
health problems on a clinical basis was not so satisfactory and that the community is now
ready for social workers, ministers, teachers and other civic leaders to take a more
active par.t in the p.rogram. After all questions had been heard and answered, a vote
was called for on the substitute motion and when the ballots were cast, Messrs. Broad-
hurst and Mayhan voted for the substitute motion and Messrs. Braak and Metts voted
against it. The Cha-irmanthen broke the tie by voting in the negative and declared the
substitute motion failed to pass. The vote was then taken on the original motion and
when the ballots were cast, Messrs. Braak and Metts voted for the motion and Messrs.
Broadhurst and Mayhan voted against the motion. The Chairman cast his vote for the motion
and declared it carried by a ma,jority vote and that the Budget for the Mental Health
Program as.presented was adopted.
WILMINGTON COLLEGE -
Dr. John T. Hoggard, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, explained that pre-
sent plans indicated that if Wilmington College could provide a Physical Education
Building by the end of 1963, he felt that it would be accredited as a 4 year institu-
tion. He said that they were not asking the County to include funds in the current
yearts budget for this purpose but that if they had any surplus they would like to be
considered for it. Dr. Wiiliam H. Randall observed that it might be possfble to trans-
fer some funds out of the operating monies temporarily for Capital Outlay and still re-
ceive matching funds from the State to.help with a Physical Education Bu3lding which is
one of the requirements for accreditation for a four year coliege. Unless it is pro-
vided it looks like it will be 1965 before they could plan on a four year term. The
Chairman thanked the Board and expressed his'hopes that the plans would materiali2e.
Vice Chairman Metts compiimented Dr. Randall on having been chosen by the Governor as
a member of the State Board of Higher Education.
MUSEUM - ' /
Mr. R. Jack Davis, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the New Hanover
County Nhzseum explained that they.have been working hard toward the moving of the Museum
but purposely proceeded slowly to make sure that they were right before making any moves.
He reported that preparations were now complete on the third floor of the Police Head-
quarters Building.for occupancy. The out of pocket cost of this amounted to $1,273.17
and he asked that the Board approve pa_yment of this amount d the 1961-62 Fiscal Budaet.
The Chairman explained to him that it would be better to-have it out of the current Bud-
get and after a brief discussion, Mr. Mayhan offered a motion, seconded by Mr. Braak,,
that the bill be approved for payment out of the current 1962-63 Budget. When the .
votes were cast, Mr. Broadhurst voted "NO", horrever, the Chairman declared the motion
carried by a majority vote. • , '

SHERIFF"5 SALARIES - '
. Mr. Wallace C. Murchison requested permission from the.Board for speaking as
a.private citizen and attorney of New Hanover County. He was recognized by the Chairman
and stated that he wholeheartedly approved increases of personnel and salaries for the
Deputy Sheriffs for the following reasons: 1- They are responsible for maintaining
law and order outside of the limits of municipalities 3n the County as well as to some
extent within their borders. 2- The popu181ion is increasing outside of the limits
of the municipalities making for larger popvlations which means more services required.
3- We are living in a lawless age when crime is rampant and it is hard to get and keep
good, competent men without paying them a living wage. They work long hours and have
families to support. He urged the Board to consider salary increases for them. The
Chairman thanked him for his interest in the welfare of the Sheriff+s Department and
assured him that every consideration would be accorded.

x 5- Miscellaneous $50.00
Mr. Glenn M. Tucker stated that the Navy divers were again working on the sunken ves-
sels along the coast in an effort to recover more artifacts and in the future plans for de-
velopment, he thought, should include $5,000 in the 1962-63 Budget for use of the ResLora-
tion committee. '

ICommission reported that the State had allocated $(},500 for setting up an underwater labora-
tory and would spend more than $4,000 to make it one of the finest underwater preservation

CAPE FEAR TOWING COMPANY -
Mr. John J. Burney Jr., attorney for the Cape Fear Towing Company, reported that a ?
question had arisen in regard to lising of personai property for the Cape Fear Towing Com-
pany. The personal properties in question are tugboats which he states were docked or
stored at the Wilmington Shipyards in New Hanover County on December 28th, 1961 and remained
there outside the City of Wilmington until January 5, 1962. He cited GS 105-302 Subsection
I 4 providing for personai property to be listed in the township where the property is located.
I In addition, he cited Subsection 1, which under the same General Statute reads "except as
?i otherwise prov3ded in all tangible personal property shall be listed in the township in
which the ovmer thereof has his residencel'. He claims that his client's property listing
comes under Subsection 4 of the General Statute cited above and not under Subsection 1.
Due to the fact that this property was situated outside of the City of Wilmington on January
lst we should not be held liable for City taxes. After considering the matter, Mr. Broad-
hurst offered a motion that County Attorney Tillery, the County Auditor and the Chairman
of the Board of County Commissioners be appointed as a committee to study this contention
and come up with a recommendation for equitable and just handling. It was seconded by Mr.
Mayhan and unanimously adopted.
REQUESTS FOR BEER PERMITS -
Upon motion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Nm. Mett$, the Board unanimously approved ?
the following applications for Beer Permits and referred them to the Sheriff for his con-
sideration and investigation.

PETITION FOR RELIEF - 1?
An application for County Home care was received from the Director of Public Wel-
fare for Martin Robert Blalock who is suffering from asthma and pulmonary emphisema which
renders him unable to work and as he has no relat3ves able to take care of him, his only
recouse is to the County Home. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board
unanimously agreed for admitting him to the County Home.
CAB HEARING - /
A memorandum was received with reference to the petition filed by attorneys
Cartg?r, Murchison, Fox and Newton in behalf of the City and County requesting a rehear-
ing the Piedmont Airlines local service. After explaining that a Stay Order was issued as
it pertained to petitions for reconsideration of the awards to Piedmont until June 18th,
at which time National Airlines were authorized to discontinue service at Wilmington on a
temporary basis, no error was found in the Board's decision to warrant the.granting of the
relief requested therefore the petition is denied. It appears that unless National Airlines
file a petition for amendment of its certificate to delete Wilmgton within 90 days, the only
recourse seems to be of exploring the feasibility of Piedmont inauguarating service between
Wilmington and Charleston, S. C. or Jacksonville, Fla. continued-

to share equally in the cost, Mr. P7ayhan offered a motion that the invoice be approved
for payment and that $281.34 be transferred from Airport-Labor, County Farm to Airport-
Attorney Fees. The motion was seconded by Mr. Broadhurst and unanimous.ly adopted. I
