SHARING ADVERTISING COSTS - /

semimonthly meeting on October 1$, the matter of advertising ,jointly owned tax
foreclosed property as proposed by the City Councii was again discussed. After

utive Secretary to make up a new list and to include property exclusively owned
by the County. It is to be presented to the Board for further action.

A petition was received from a group of citizens requesting approval for a'
cross-over to be laid out in Masonboro Township about 6 miles from Wilmington on High-
way #421 approximately 600' north of Barnum Creek. They asked that recommendations be
made to the State Highway Commission to establish such a cross-over for the convenience,
safety and in the public interests of the residents living nearby. After a brief con-
sideration, Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that the petition be approved and recom-
II mended to the State Highway Commission. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously
, passed. .

by GS 105-375= .
?"There was a gross total of $478, 178.53 coliected during the month of October on the
I 1962 County levy and a discount of $2,397.47 was allowed, by this office.
There has been $23,452•07 coliected on the outstanding back taxes for the months of July
through October. In October the collections amounted to $7,086.36."
The report was ordered filed for information.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS - „?
The Chairman ascertained that each member of the Board had received a quest-
ionnaire from the Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations which deals with the problems
of Federal, State and local relations. They are authori2ed to examine, investigate and
make a complete study of intergovernmental relationships in the hope of making a contribu-
Lion toward the cooperation between all levels of government. It requests views which
would contribute to legislative activity which would result in benefit to the people.
They request a response not later than December 1962 at the latest. The Chairman sug-
gested that each member of the Board give the questionnaire consideration so that it could
be answered intelligently. .
GRAND JURY REPORT -
The Chairman read the report of the Grand Jury for the October term. There ?
were no exceptions which needed attention at this time, however, the County Home build-
ings were found to be clean and orderly and the administration was commended for the
improvements and appearance of the building. The Chairman said he would like to commend
Commissioner Braak for his diligent effort.
BUDGET - HEART ASSOCIATION
Chairman Hall reviewed the Budget of the New Hanover County Heart Association-
which operates under the Consolidated Board of Health and is therefore subject to appro-
priations made by the Board of County Commissioners even though the funds are entirely
supplied by the Association. They recommended a salary for Mrs. Eula Mae McInnis, part-
time Public Health Nurse II, in the amount of $1998.00 for the 1962-63 Budget year. He
recommended that the Board of Health be authortized to make the adjustment. After dis-
cussing the problem, Mr. Metts offered a motion that the Board authorize the adjust-
ments in accordance with the wishes of the Heart Association and the appropriation adjusted

PUBLIC WELFARE -
Equiument - Complying with the requests of the Board at the last meeting,
Miss Lela Nfoore Hall, Director of Public Welfare, reported that the State would partici-
pate in the cost of the airconditioners,which were installed, up to 45%. She also pre-
sented a list of the equipment which is needed by her department for a more efficient
operation, the cost of which is estimated at $3,400 in excluding small miscellaneous
items. One typewriter which she proposes Lo replace was purchased in 1946. They have
been using a mimeographing machine in the Health Department which is now broken down and
in addition she badly needs a copy machine and new files. She suggested that since there
was approximately $4800.00 in Unspent Salaries, th3s might be used for the purchase of the
equipment without an additlonal appropriation. These problems were discussed thoroughly
after which Mr. Metts offered a motion that she prepare specifications for the equipment
she proposed and be authori2ed to proceed at once with advertising for bids to cover these
items. It was secottded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved.
Snace nlans - She reported that a decision should be made in her opinion
as to whether or not the quarters now occupied by the 4lelfare Department were on a perman-
ent basis or only temporary. If it is on a temporary basis, she pnoposed that some
changes could be made in the partitions and repairs to other sections of the space that
would aliow for a better operation but that if it was on a permanent basis, then more de-
tailed pians should be considered and makeshift, patchwork eliminated. She suggested
that the Commissioners come down to the quarters and allow her to show them first hand
her ideas of the changes which would materially improve the efficiency of her oper.ation.
The Chairman declared a recess for 15 minutes at which time the Board visited the 4Jelfare
quarters and viewed the suggested changes which she proposed be made.
RECONVENTION -
After the recess, the Chairman called the Board to order again at 11:00
o'clock for a considerat3on of any further ftems which might be presented before it.
' WILMINGTON PORTS AND WATER64AY5 DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION -
Colonel George W. Gillette, Chairman of the Wilmington Ports and Waterways
Development Commission, reported on the present status of the several pro,jects that
• pertain to waterway development and allied improvements for New Hanover County:
1. Deepening the Cape Fear River to 38 feet from 4lilmington to Southport, and 40 feet
from Southport to the ocean is now authorized in the Omnibus Bill that was passed by
the Congress the day of ad,journment. The next step in the development is to secure
funds which we anticipate will be forthcoming next year.
2. Funds for study and planning have been authorized for:
(A) The Northeast Cape Fear River improvement, deepening to 30 feet.
(B) The Cape Fear River improvement above Wilmington, deepening to 30 feet.
3. Beach protection works at both Carolina and Wrightsville Beach have been author-
ized, sub,ject to certain contributions by local interest.
!}. Recommendations on the proposed improvement of Masonboro Inlet have gone forward
from the office of the District Engineer here in ldilmington. This is an authorized
project already. It is believed that the recent study that is covered in the report
will supply the remedy necessary to give a stable inlet at the project depth, 12 feet.
This would obviously be a great step forward both from a recreational point of view as
well as commercial.
5. While the question of a bridge crossing or a ferry service from Fort Fisher to
Southport might,.not seem the concern.of our Commission, but since our main economic
advantage for full industrial potential is the Cape Fear River so that projects which
would hamper of hinder navigation should be considered by this Commission. Our Com-
mission will continue to support any of these projects which will enhance our economic
potential. •
6. While the_Flood Control Program for the Cape Fear River did not pass the last Con-
gress and was temporarily held up, it is designed for regulating the flood waters and
reduce the silt which drifts down into our channel and adds to the cost of keeping it
dredged to the proper depth. It is hoped that tha next CanGress.wi.ll -iook w?fth favor
on this"prbject and their efforts will be directed to that end.
Colonel Gillette thanked the Board for their cooperation with his Commission in
the past and asked for their continued support. The Chairman of the Board of Com-
missioners observed that in his opinion Colonel Gillette should be commended for the
fine work he is doing for the County and devotion for his talents and time to this
worthy endeavor. He asked the Board if it would be agreeable to supply Colonel Gillette
with office space which he needs from time to time working up figures and information
and if some clerical assistance might be provided somewhere in the Court House to keep
his equipment such as filing cabinets and typewriter. After discussing the subject
briefly, Mr. Metts offered a motion that office space be provided somewhere in the
Court House for the use of Colonel Gillette. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unani-
mously approved.
Mr. M. H. Vaughn remarked that Colonel Gillette is one of the outstanding world
authorities on porLs and waterways and highly regarded by other professionals in
his field. He suggested that the County Commissioners consider supporting his organi-
zation at next Budget time.
