? Secretary to the Board
During the Hearing, Corinne Bradford of 513 MacRae Street and Frances Thigpen
? of 912 Kino Street raised the questions as to whether or not Love Grove would be .
spared and no longer threatened as a location for a seweraoe disposal plant and
? if closina the streets would force more traffic onto the old.street and especially
would trucks to and from the proposed expanded mill cause a heavy flow of traffic.
They were answered satisfactorily though not definitely because the plans for the
I sewerage disposal plant are still in the formative stage.

TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY -
The Executive Secretary reported to the Board that a jointly owned tax fore- ?
I closed piece of property in Block 300, Part of Lot 4, which they had approved for sale
I at the appraised value of $350.00 was found to be really worth only $300.00 according
to the Property Assessors because it was found when the plot was surveyed that insLead
of being 3216" in width, it was only 261 and the Assessors have estabiished a fair mar-
ket value of $300.00 instead of $350.00 for it. The prospective buyer is willing to
pay $300.00. After a brief review of the matter., Nr. Metts offered a motion that the
sale be approved for $300.00, subject to City Council approval. It was seconded by
Mr..Broadharst and unanimously approved.
SURVEY -GROUND WATER RE50URCES
The Chairman reported to the Board that Federal funds are available to match /
County and State funds to negotiate a New Hanover Ground Water Study. The State is
I willing to bear one-third of the cost of the project which is estimated at $96,000 to
be spent over a(} year period which means that the County would be responsibile for
I$8,000 per year beginning with the fiscal year 1963-64 or a total of $32,000. The data
I obtained from this investigation will be used to prepare a detailed report describing
' the extent and thickness of the water-bearing formations in the County and amount and '
quality of their water. He said that the schedule would 'i-nclude a field investigation,
the analysis and synthesis of data and the preparation of a final report. 3f the Board ?
, agrees to go along with the study, a project headquarters will be established at i

Wilmington. He is of the opinion that the results of such a study would be
instrumental in persuading industry to locate in New Hanover County and that over a
lono period, it would more than repay the cost many times'. After a brief discussion,

TRESTLE EYESORE - • • • ' '
• A letter was received from Vir. Georae A. Garey c'alling attention to ari
abandoned street car trestle on the west side of the Bradley Creek Bridge. He states ,
that the pilings and braces are totting and falling liout haphazardly creating an ex-* I
tremely unsightly eyesore from the highway and is somewhat of a menace to small boys ?
as well as a danger in-as-much small boys sometimes play on it. He stated thaE it was
his understanding that the Tidewater Power Company'conveyed title to all of its old *
right-of-way to the State Highway Commission and that a conversation with the Division
Engineer led him to believe that if the Commissioners made a written request they would
remove the unsightly trestle since it serVes no useful purpose. Mr. Braak moved that i
the Executive Secretary be authori2ed to write the State Highwav Commission and'request ?
that they r`emove the old trestle providing they have authority to do so. It was secorided
by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously carried.
UNAUTHORIZED TRASH DUMP
( Mr. Garey reported that at the entersection of U. 5,. .76 and Bradley Creek
someone had been dumping trash which either caught fire from lighted cioarettes be.ing ?
thrown into it or was set on fire purposely causing an obnoxious smoke and odor which I
is very unpleasant to the people living in that neighborhood. He said that some improve-?
ment had been made lately since the Health Department had put up "no dumping" signs.. .
He is of the opinion that if the size of the lettering on the signs was enlarged where
people could readily see it, the problem might be solved. After some discussion, the '
Board authori2ed the Executive Secretary to request the State Highway Commission to put i
up suitable signs marked "no dumping or burning allowed". : ' 11
