DITCHIIdG PETITION -
Mr. Marvin H. Congleton appeared before the Board and explained that in 1959
he had obtained the signatures of all property owners along Everett's Creek for the pur-
pose of permitting the creek to be ditched by the County dragline. At that time, more
pressing matters took precedence and the work was not accomplished. In the past 30 days,
he had again attempted to get permission from all the property owners along the same creek
to permit a right-of-way for a dragline operation but one of the property okmers who had
formerly signed the petition now refuses to sign it and allow entrance across his property. ,
He requests the Board to interpret whether or not if the party now refusing to sign is 9ti11
bound by the agreement he signed in 1959• The County Attorney ruled that the instrument
which was signed was a petition and not an easement and that it would be very questionable
as to whether or not it could be enforced. After considering the facts, the Board referred
the petitions to the County Attorney and asked him to report back to the Board after he had ?
time to make a sesrch of the records and investigate the legal aspects of the matter. I
TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY
I Attorney Aaron,Goldberg came before the Board representing Lillian S. McKoy who,
purchased a parcel of jointly owned tax foreciosed property described as being in Block
27, Part of Lot 4, 33' x 165,, 1321 from the NE corner of 11}(th & Meares Sts., fronting
on llth Street for the sum of $510.00. He stated that she had employed him to search the

the title for her and he found that it was not a valid title because service
had not been made on the owners and besides that the deed has not been received by his
client. He requests the Commissioners to approve the return of her money in-as-much as
t7ie transaction has never been completed. The Chairman explained that it was the policy
,of the County to give a°quit ciaim" deed and the purchaser So advised. Mr. Goldberg
Ireplied that it would not set a precedent to return this money because the transaction
'had not been consumated. By common consent of the Board, they agreed to look in1:0 the
Imatter further.
FORECLOSURE PROCEDURES - ?
At this point, the Tax ol ec.tor, S?n J. Johnson was asked to appear before
the Board and discuss the presen oce e?? s in personam...against the property owner".
The County Attorney advised tha another method which might simplify this procedure was
knovm as " in rem... against the property itself". While the Supreme Court of North
Carolina has never ruled on this matter, the Tax Collector says that the high courts of
other states have upheld the latter method and that many counties in North Carolina are
now using it. After a brief discussion of the subject, the Board unanimously, by common
consent instructed tlie Executive .Secretary to contact John T. Schiller and ask him to
appear at the next reaular semimonthly meeting to be held on September 17th and make a
comparison of the two systems that are available for use in tax foreclosure proceedings.
(Mr. Schiller has promised to be present.)
IISCHOOL BONDS -
A'.letter was received from Lhe New Hanover County Board of Education advising "
that they were currently engaged in acquirino sites and makinc plans for buildina various
'ischools and additional classr.ooms. They request that the Commissioners sell bonds in the
amount of $1,0000000 as this amount of money will be required during this fiscal year.
County Auditor T. D. Love informed the Board that he had been in touch with Mr. W. E.
Easterling Jr., Executive Secretary of the Local Government Commission who recommends
that since New Hanover County has quite a number of bonds authorized it wouid be well to
sell as many as practical immediately. Mr. Love recommends they authorize the sale of
1$11500,000. After considering this proposal, Mr. Braak offered a motion that $1,400,000
be authorized and sold at the most advantageous time between now and December 31, 1962.
!It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved by the Board including the affirma-
t'ive vote of the Chairman.
ROAD PETITION -
A request was
ing that it be added to

COUNTY HOME BOILER -
Mr. Braak reported that he had recommended that'the County Home boiler be con-
/
verted from a coal fired boiler to an oil fired burner. The principle reasons given for
Ilhis recommendation is that it is now necessary to maintain a fuli time night and day yard
,man to keep the furnace going during the winter and invariably.during the coldest weather.
the grates will burn out. The cost of converting to oil will approximate the.same cost
as installing a coal stoker. It is estimated hourever „that oil would probably cost a
little more on an annual basis than the coal. The constant and even heat supplied by an
oil furnace should be mbre satisfactory especially in keeping the infirmary--section pro-
perly heated. It would eliminate two people who couid work at other jobs. After a
discussion of this problem, Nr. Nayhan moved that the coal furnace at the County Home be
converted to oil. The motion was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved with
the Chairman voting "Aye".
NEGRO JWENILE QUARTERS HEAT - ,
Mr: Braak informed the Board that the capacity of the boiler at the County
Home was sufficient to supply heat at the Negro Juvenile Quarters and recommended that a
steam pipe be connected for this purpose which will eliminate the extra furnac2 now be-
ing used to heat the Negro Juvenile Home. He requested the permission of the Board to
make'this change and save the use of the fireman and the coal necessary to keep it running
in the winter. This svbject was briefly discussed and Mr. Braak moved that it be approved.
IIt was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and the Chairman concurred by voLing "Yes" and making it
unanimous.
BEER PERMITS - /
Tlie following application for a Beer Permit was reviewed by the Board and upon
Imotion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, unanimously approved and referred to the
I,Sheriff's Department for consideration and investigation:
ILaney S. Schutt ? T/A Schutt Bros. 817 Bladen St., Wilmington, N. C.
TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY - /
The Executive Secretary reported that he had a prospective purchaser for the
following described jointly owned tax foreclosed lots in Block 27, NW4 of 2, 331 x 165';
66' from AIW corner llth 8 Wright Street appraised at $525.00; Block 498, NE 4, 31' x
751, 155' from NW cor 14th & Nun fronting on 14th, appraised at $300.00. Upon motion
of Nr. Mayhan, seconded by Mr. Braak, the sale was approved, subject to the concurring
approval of the City Council.
WELFARE LIEN -
The Executive Secretary reported that Mrs. Minnie R. Batten, Administratrix.
of the estate of Henry C. Stotler or Stolter requested an appraisal of the property left
by the deceased on which the Public Welfare Department has a lien of $2,997•20. The
ICounty Attorney advised that sometimesthe accrued taxes on the property might amount,to

WELFARE LIEN - (continued)
more than the ldelfare lien in which event the County should proceed on
the basis of collecting the taxes as all of that money wouid go into the County
General Fund while if the Welfare lien is collected, the State and Federal government
will share in the proceeds on the same ratio that the grants were made which created
the lien. After a brief discussion, Mr. Braak offered a motion that in this particu-
lar inetance approvai be given to the sale of the property at the appraised value
provided that the taxes would not exceed the lien. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and
unanirnously approved when the Chairman voted in favor of it. He instructed the Execu-
tive Secretary to have the taxes checked and compared with the lien and handled in
whichever resulted in the most money for the County.
(GRAND JURY REPORT - ,
The Chairman read the report of the Grand Jury submitted to his Honor,
Walter J. Bone, Judge Presiding over Superior Court. There were no pressing recommenda-
tions and therefore it was ordered filed for information.
IWATER RESOURCES SURVEY -
The Chairman read a letter from the State Department of Water Resources
outlining two methods of the County sharing in the cost of cooperating with the Federal
government and the State on making a geolooical svrvey of Ground-YJater Resources in
New Hanover County. Either they could be paid in 16 installments of $2,000 each on
a quarterly basis begin??r?q?a?la,?uary 1, 1963 or in installments of $4,000 each payable
on a semiannual basis beginnirTghl, 1963 (eight payments of $4,000 each beoinninc -
January 1, 1963 and the final payment due July 1, 1966), for a total of $32,000 as the
County's share. After a brief discussion, Mr. Mayhan offered a motion that we accept
the 16 payments of $2,000 each on a quarterly basis. It was seconded by Mr. Braak
and passed unanimously with the affirmative vote of the Chairman. The Executi,ve Secre-
tary was instructed to notify the State Department of tatater Resources.
? Meetino - The Chairman also informed the Board that the State Department
of lnlater Resources would hold annual meeting at Carolina Beach on September 21, 1962
and invited the Board to meet with them.
IANNUAt AUDIT - TAX OFFICE
The Board was reminded that it was time to make a decision on the annual
audit for the Consolidated 1'ax Collector's Office. For the past few years J. B. McCabe
8 Company has made a satisfactory audit and is familiar with the procedures of that
office. Upon motion of iMr. Mayhan, seconded by Mr. Braak, the J. B. McCabe 8 Company
was again employed as auditors for the Consolidated Tax Collector's Office and the
Chairman was authorized to sign a contract subject to the approval of the County Attor-
ney. '
`ASSISTANT SOLICITOR -
A letter was received from County Solicitor John M. Walker confirming his
acceptance of the resignation of John T. Schiller as Assistant County Solicitor. He
requests approval for employing attorneys from time to time to act as Assistant Solicitor
in emer.gencies and authority to compensate them from the funds budoeted for the Assist-
ant Solicitor. After discussing this matter, the Board unanimoUSly agreed on the prin-
ciple of this idea but for budgetary reasons would like to have more specific informa-
tion with reference to the compensation which he anticipates will be necessary to pay
on this temporary basis.
1
MERIT SYSTEM MODIFICATION -
The Chairman read a letter to the Board from the Commissioner of Public
Welfare advising that they were recommending the modification of two grades below the
standard for professional and clerical employees of the Welfare Department effective
July 1962. He also read a letter from the Director of the State Board of Health re-
questing more specific details on several questions with reference to the downward
modification of the pay plan for the local Health Department. The Chairman was author-
ized to answer it however he saw fit.
HONfE DIRECTORS LIABILITY
The Chairman read a letter from the County Attorney in answer to a previous
request for a ruling concerning the lia.bility for members of the County Home Board
of Directors in event tort action was ever brouoht against them. He advised that in
his opinion the immunity which appiies to the County would not extend to the individual
members oF the Board of Directors and suggested that some type of liability insurance
be procvred or that the Board pass a Resolution aoreeing to indemnify or hold harmless
members of the Board of Directors in event of loss or damaae resultina from a suit
against any of them. In the same letter, he expressed his opinion that if Mr. N. L.
Foy accepted a place on the Board of Directors of the County Home to replace Mr. W. F.
Snyder resioned, it would constitute double office holding in view of him presently
serving as a member of the Zoning Board of Adjustments for the City of Wilmington.
The Chairman instructed the Executive Secretary to call Mr. Foy and advise him of Lhis
decision before he accepted an appointment to the Board. (This has been done )
INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT -
The Chairman informed the Board that he had received a letter from the Chair-
man of the Board of Commissioners of Johnston County advising him ttiat Dr. A"Lbert Coates
would retire from his duties as Director of the Institute of Government on September 1,
1962. Since he has rendered a great service to the public officials and made a con-
tribution to better government he feels that she should be recognized for tlie services
which he has rendered. He requested the Board to authorize a fitting Resolution com-
mendino Dr. Coates to be sent to the Chairman o£ the Board of Johnston County Commiss-
ioners as Dr. Coates was a native of Johnston County. Mr. Mayhan offered a motion
that the County Attorney be authorized to draft a Resolution honoring Dr. Coates for
his unselfish service and then sent to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of
Johnston County. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved.
I AWARD -
Mr. D. D. Baggett, County Farm Agent, thanked the Board for their assistance
in helping him make the trip to Los Cruces, New Mexico to attend the annual meeting
of the National Association of County Farm Agents where he received a merit award for
outstanding service. He was one of five from North Carolina and one out of one hundred
