Mr. Metts called attention to the verbal agreement with the City Council
on August 20, 1962 with reference to 4417 acres of County land on which a sewerage
treatment plant for the City of ?kilmington might be constructed. On October llth,
this matter was called to the attention of the City Manager in writing and again on
October 15th. He had written a letter as Acting Chairman of the Board at that time.
He suggested that a follow-up letter might be advisable at this time in order to
bring the matter to a conclusion. It was pointed that the City is occupying the
property and operating the trash dump for the benefit of the County in line with the
ayreement. By common consent, the Board ayreed to delay any further action on the
matter after the County Attorney explained that he had submitted written sucgestions:
to the City Attorney outlining his understanding of the agreement and that he was in-
formed that the matter is beino held in abeyance until the General Assembly convenes
at which time they will be requested to clarify some matters in connection with it.
/
Nr. Metts observed that the annual report of Trust Funds handled by the
Clerk of Superior Court was due on the ffirst Monday in December but that a request
was made for it to be delayed until the December 17th meeting. Up to this time, it
has not been made and upon immediate investigation, it was found that the County -
Auditor had not been able to make his audit because of ttie pressing business of
organizing for the listing of taxes.

ment for Mr. A1 E: Gdbson who resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Com-

matter and secured his agreement'to serve if appointed. Mr. Mayhan moved that the

Mr. Metts voting "NO" since he had approved the nomination made by the Board of Dir-
ectors. Mr. Broadhurst then offered a motion that Milton Fleishman be appointed

tary notify him of this appointment in writing. It was seconded by Mr. N?ayhan and

COMMISSIONERS DISTRICT MEETING - i
The Chairman reported that he accompanied by Mr. Braak, Miss Leila Moore
Hall, Director of the Public Welfare Department and the Executive Secretary; attended
the District Meeting held on December 13th at Elizabethtown, N. C. Most of the dis-
cussion centered around the problems the 5tate would face in its Budget requests be-
fore the next General Assembly. While some explanation was made with reference to
Health and School programs, most of the discussion centered around its Roads and Wel-
fare. The meeting was conducted by Nr. J. A. NacMarion, General Counsel for the
State Association, who requested that all Boards of Comunissioners present their re-
quests for legislation which they desired to have enacted during the next session.
SUGGESTION - /
Mr. M. H. Vaughan suggested that the Board Give consideration to request-
ing the New Hanover County Representatives to the General Assembly to initiate legis-
lation for the State to purchase and develop the natural beach lying between Mason-
boro Inlet and Carolina Beach Inlet. He said the property was cheap at this time
and could be developed at a later date as a public beach for all of the people. By
-.common consent, the Board agreed to discuss this matter with the New Hanover County
Legislators.

(Continued)
SERUICE.EMBLEN
Comply:ing with the announcement at the last meeting by Mr. Mayhan, '
Nr. Spurgeon Baxley presented to the Board a suggested Service Emblem System for
County employees. In his opinion, it will develop a group spirit among the employees
and maintain a high sense of loyalty resulting in more efficient and longer length
of service. He reports that the cost would amount to approximately 50?, per year's
service. in other words, for 5 year's service he suggested a pin that would cost ?
$2.50, for 10 year's service a$5.00 pin and for 15 year's service $7.50 etc.
Many cities, counties and institutions are installing a similar system with very
good results. The prices he quoted were based on an estimated minimum of 150 pins.
The Chairman thanked him for the presentation and by common consent of the Board, fl
the Executive Secretary was directed to make up a list showing the various lengths
of service of the employees so that an estimate could be made of the total cost. '
'COUNTY SEAL - ,
The Chairman reported that some consideration was being aiven to a re- !
vision to the present County seal and asY.ed for any suogestions for bringing it up
?to date as our County was no longer an agricultural county.
ROAD IMPROVEMENT -
Mr. Broadhurst reported that in his opinion the present road leading
from the Ideal Cement Company plant to U.S. #117 was too narrow and inadequate and I?
during peak hours it is dangerous and suggested that the Board initiate a. movement
through the State Highway Commission for improvino it. Mr. Braak reported that it
had been discussed with Mr. Lauch Faircloth who promised that the work would be
accomplished some time this summer. The Chairman and Mr. Broadhurst had the Executive
Secretary arrange a conference with the Division Enoineer for Lhis afternoon.
?ELFARE GRANTS - '
A discussion developed during the revision of the monthly reports of the
Public UJelfare Department showing some increases in the grants. It was greatly in-
fluenced by the 5tate and Federal Public 'Welfare Departments. Some thought that
if they take a dictatorial attitude toward the matter, it was wrong and suggested
that it be discussed with.the Legislators to see just what position the State does
take with reference to the control of the Welfare money.

( AGRICULTURE EXTENSION SERVICE -
Mr. D. D. Baggett, County Agricul.ture Agent, reported on the cooperative
extension work in Agriculture and Home Economics for the year 1962. He briefly re-
viewed the activities in general and then introduced the agents who made a detailed
report of their various programs. Mrs. Rebecca L. Hall said that the Negro Home Economic
Agent handled both the 4-H Club work and the Home Agent's work, stressing community
development and improvement. The Assistant Home Agent reported on her activities
among the girls in the training and organizing of la.-H leaders in order to stimulate
community interests. Mr. Larry Whitehurst reported that the boys, 4-H Clubs were no
longer sponsored in the school system and that his activity had been spent in the organ-
izing of community 4-H Clubs and stressing projects to teach the boys to be leaders
in their communities. The New Hanover County 4-H Clubs ranked high in the achievement
program held in the fall by the Star News newspapers by winning a majority of the blue
ribbons awarded. Miss Verna Belle Lowery reported that in the Home Economics group
they had stressed money management during the year as clothing, food and shelter were
the three main items of expense. The Chairman thanked them for their fine contribution
to the welfare of the citizens of this County. Both Miss Lowery and Vir. Baggett
asked for any suggestions of improvement of their programs.
/ Assistant Apent - The Chairman informed the Board that since the question
was raised at the last meeting when the resignation of the Assistant Home Agent was
accepted about whei,her the service should be continued so he had contacted the District
Agent, Miss Thelma Hinson who convinced him that it was an important part of the Home
Economics Program concerned with the welfare of people and as far as he was concerned
he was all in favor of continui.ng it. After a brief discussion in which Mr. Metts re-
qvested that a decision on the matter be delayed until the next meeting to allow him
time Lo investigate the overlapping of services performed in this field with others
rendered by the various other organizations and schools. By common consent, the Board
agreed to delay the decision.
/WILMINGTON COLLEGE DITCHING -
Dr. John T. Hoggard, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and William J. Brooks,
Athletic Director, informed the Board that the canal which was cut for the college
by the County dragline had washed in at several places and blocked water two or three
feet deep which was flooding the athletic field. In their opinion, it will require a
dragline operation to permanently relieve the problem but they think that hand ditching
