Ihas agreed to lease it at a price below the usual business rental. He requests permiss-
ion From the Board to sign a lease for one year on the building, the rent on which would
be an increase of approximately $460.00. He reported that ad3acent counties are making
inquiry concerning the use of the Center and if the plans develop, additionat funds will
?be received from them which would lower the cost to New Hanover County. He also stated
that many tangible results can be observed from the short time the Center has been in oper-
Iation but there are many which can not be gauged in so short a period of time. He present-
ed a tentative Budget for the next fiscal year 1964 -165. After a brief discussion, Mr.
Metts moved that permission be given for signing the year's lease on the building at 920
IlSouth 17th 5treet. It was seconded hy Mr. Mayhan and unanimousiy approved. The Chairman

The Clerk reported to the Board that the Bond Order entitied "Bond Order" author-
izing the issvance of $575,000 Industrial Education Center Bonds of the County of New Han-
over", which had been introduced on April bth, 1964, had been published in the Wilmington
Morning Star on April 7th, 1964, with notice that the Board of Commissioners would hold a
public hearing thereon on April 20, 1964, at 9 o'clock,. A. M.
Commissioner Broadhurst moved that the Board proceed to hold a public heating on
Ithe Bond Order. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Mayhan and was unanimously adopted.
At 9 o'clock A. M., the Chairman announced that the Board would hear any citizen
?or taxpayer who desired to be heard with respect to the Bond Order. At the direction of
Ithe Chairman, the Clerk read the Bond Order and the published notice of hearing.
The Board of Directors for the Industria2 Education Center, headed by their
? Chairman, Robert N. Hallman, explained that they were on hand to answer questions that
might have come up during the Hearing but since no objections were offered, the oniy quest-
ion he would like cleared is how much effect this Bond Issue will have on the tax rate.
' Chairman Hall explained that the lOd levy at present in the tax structure for Wilmingbon
?College will be eliminated after the next year and he can see no increase beyond the present
tax levy although the valuations are not yet compiete. He called on the County Auditor,
Mr. T. D. Love, Jr., for his opinion. He suggested that if the term of the bonds can be
limited to 20 years which would require $54,000 annually, it would amount to 31 on the tax
?rate. At present, there is a 21 school.levy now in the tax rate which can'be.absorbed in
in the present rate.

mitted to the Superior Court Judge, was reviewed. The Chairman read the recommendations
for additional ,jail cells, particular4y for the confinement of inental patients and ma,jor
offenders. The Chairman observed that he deplored the necessity of placing mental patients
in the jail but under some circumstances, there seems to be no other way at present but he
hopes that the new hospital will contain some facilities for this type person. So far as
he knows, the Sheriff has made no request for additional jail space.
After hearing the recommendations with reference to the inadequate condition of
the Juvenile Detention Home, Mr. Broadhurst remarked that so far as he knew, no requests

regular Board meeting. '

Clerk of Superior Court, H. Foster Edwards, came before the Board and request-

$150.00 to Capital Outlay and $200.00 to Stationery & Supplies. He reported these two

it could not give permission for such work, Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that the Board
