? PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE APPROPRIATIOiN -
The Chairman of the New Hanover County Board of Elections came before the
Board and explained that it was necessary for him to call the judges of the various
j precincts together for the purpose of checking the names on a petition pledging support
? for Governor George Wallace in the next-presidential election as required by law in
' North Carolina. It specifies that only Sd per name can be charged to Lhe party making
the request and that they had 900 names on the petition which meant that they were
charced with only $45.00 whereas the actual cost for checking amounted to approximately
$500.00. He asked the Commissioners +to appropriate funds to cover the cost. The County
Attorney ruled that there was no specific law covering who should pay for this service,
however, he had contacted the Attorney General who advised him that it was a proper cost
Co the County. Mr. Braak then offered a motion that $500.00 be appropriated from Un-
anticipated Interests to pay the cost of getting Governor Wallace's name on the presi-
I dential ballot. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved.
APPROPRIATION - SECOND PRIMARY
The Chairman of the Board of Elections reported to the Board that in his
opinion it would take between $6,000 and $7,000 to conducL the run-off primary. A rough

Precinct Officers $3,361.00 i
Printing 400.00
Ballot Boxes 500.00
Electrical 164.00
Miscel. Help 50.00
Rent 225.00
Board Members 200.00
Chairman 750.00
Office Expense 350.00
$6,000.00
So many items are unpredictable, it is hard to present an exact itemized statement. Aftei
a thorough discussion, Mr. Braak offered a motion that $6,000 be appropriated from lIn-
anticipated Interests to Election Costs. It was seconded by Mr. A9ayhan, and unanimouslC
approved. I

WELFARE LIEN - •
' The Executive Secretary reported that Walter W. Sigman stated to him that John
' D. Cottle died leaving eight acres of land, more or less, to his daughters, Miss Lillie
?I Belle Cottle and Mrs. G. D. Farrow. In August of 1954, Lillie Belle Cottle deeded her
, undivided interest to her niece, Margaret F. Irving (Mrs. J. ]1.). Subsequent to that
' time, Miss Lillie Belle Cottie has received $351.00 in Assistance Grants and automatic
liens were placed against any property which she might have an interest in.• The County
Property Appraisors have placed a fair market value of $800.00 on the remaining four acres
which Nr. Sigman is trying to clear the title on and wishes to have the lien lifted. The
County Attorney had been consulted with reference to this matter but is of the opinion that
? before a good title could be given on this property,•it will be necessary for a lien amount-
ing to $351.00 to be paid and suggested that no action be taken on this matter today until
some additional information could be determined. •
BEER PERMITS -
The following application for a Beer Permit was'reviewed by the Board and upon
motion of Mr. Metts, seconded by Nr. Braak, unanimously approved and referred to the Sheriff

Orbie Graham Johnson T/A Lingo Grill 2130 Oleander Dr.
ALTERNATE BOND PAYING AGENT
The Chairman read a letter from the North Carolina National Bank requesting
that they be named alternate paying agent on any CounLy bonds and interest coupons. The
Chairman stated that he had been approached by the First Citi2enfs Bank.and Trust Company
on this same subject and according to..his understanding of the law, it is the responsibi-
lity of the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and the Clerk to the Board to
designate the alternate paying agents and suggested that no action be takeri on the matter
at this time.
' BOARD OF ELECTIONS - '
The County Board of Elections, headed by its Chairman, O. K. Pridgen, II as
spokesman, stated that the purpose of their visit was to extend an invitation to the Board
of Commissioners to accompany them to 3 or 4 cities using the permanent type voter regis-
tration system, to get a first hand view of what the improved loose leaf system has meant
to them. It is their feeling that the many questions which he or the Board of Elections
, are unable to answer could be resolved by making such a visit and asking the persons who
have had the experience. He stated that the Board of Elections had come to the conclus-
ion that it is of such importance to this County that they have agreed to place themselves
at the call of the Commissioners and will arrange to go whenever and wherever they wish to
II make the survey. He pointed out that in view of the approaching annexation into the City
of a large segment.of the County, a new registration would be necessary this fall and now
is the time to decide if the names are to be put back on the old books as at present or
if the new registration system might"be installed to advantage during the registration per-
iod. W. Broadhurst raised the quesLlon as to whether or not the City would take any
' financial responsibility for participation in the cost of setting the system up as it would
eliminate the cost of having the registrator at the polling places on the four Saturdays
prior to an election. The Chairman asked the County AtRorney if he wouid confer with the
City Attorney to determine the legal aspectsI of using the equipment. Before he left, Mr.
Pridgen,again stressed the Board of Elections recommendation for revising the election
procedure to a more modern system. The Chairman thanked them for their suggestions and
, the interest which they are taking in this important matter.
COUNTY AIRPORT -
,
The Chairman read a letter from the Federal Aviation Agency stating that more
space is needed Lo the Air Traffic Control Tower at the New Hanover County Airport erThey
are agreeable to paying rental for the space on the basis of $2.25 per square footPannum
including janitor service and utilities. He estimated that it would require from 300 to
400 sq. ft. additionai office space. It would be leased on an annual basis with renewal
options as are all the other other facilities. After a brief discussion, it was decided,
by common consettt, that the Airport Committee composed of Messrs. Hall and Broadhurst should
sLudy the matter and bring in a recommendation to the Board.
HURRICANE:'ADiDSHORE PROTECTION -
The Chairman read a letter from Senator B. Everett Jordan thanking the Board
for providing increased local funds for the beach projects as a result of the recently
revised cosL estimates. He pointed out that since the Appropriation Bil-l had already
passed the House and the Senate Appropriations Committee has almost compieted its work
on the 9i11 he could see a rather.difficult time at- this late moment to get favorable act-
ipn but promised to continue pushing hard to get the money. •
REZONING PROPOSAL - ' '
. . The Chairman read a letter from the Community Planning and Development Comihiss-
ion announcing that a Hearing would be held by the Committee at 6:00 P. M. July 8th, 1964
in the City Council Chambers with reference to rezon-ing Pine Court from R-lAA Residential
to R-3 Multi-family. As this property ad,joins the Oak Grove Cemetery,owned by the County
they are requested to be represented at the Public Hearing. By common consent, the Board
instructed the Executive Secretary to inform the Chairman of the County Planning and
I 2oning Board and ask them,to represent the County at this Hearing. (Mr. I. John•Tinga was
, notified.) • •

BUILDING INSPECTOR - 9
Mr. Metts discussed the sub,ject of a Building Inspector for the County and
stated that in his opinion some grovnd rules should be set up before he was appointed. I
He suggested that they inclvde the minimumQvaluations, who the inspector is, the mechanics
for carrying out the rules, what codes shouid be used, and the clarifications of the '
Building Inspector. He suggested a joint meeting of the County Planning and Zoning Board',
with the Building Contractor's Association and Home Builders' Association in order to dis;
cuss these problems and study the various requirements and clarifications and then make .
recommendations to the Board of Commissioners. He aiso suggested that a commfttee might
be appointed to study the recommendations. The Chairman agreed that this should be done
and instructed the Executive Secretary to arrange a conference between the interested
bodies above.
EAST-WEST HIGHWAY
The Chairman read a letter from the County Manager from An2on County attnouncinc
a noon meeting on Monday, July 13th. He requested that the name of the person appointed'I
to represent New Hanover County be sent to him so that proper arrangements could be made
for the meeting. The purpose is to. organize a permanent Committee to promote the improve-II
ments„on U. S. 74 from its terminal at Wrightsville Beach to A'sheville. The Chairman
stated that he would attend the meeting to represent the County and authori2ed the Execu-
tive Secretary to notify them.
U. S. 17 IMPROVEMENT -
Mr. P. M. Camak, Director of the Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, !
appeared before the Board and stated that a meeting is scheduled by the U. S. 17 Improve-:
ment and Development Association in New Sern on Thursday, July 9th for the purpose of '
deciding on specific recommendations and priorities for improving U. S. 17. He suggested'
that as many Commissioners should go as possible. Commissioner Peter H. Braak agreed to
go and the Chairman authorized the Executive Secretary to write a letter in behalf of the
Board approving the recommendations tnade by Mr. Camak. ?
INDEPENDEAiT AUDIT
Mr. Metts suggested that in his opinion the conrts should be included in the
Independent Audit for the next fiscal year, in view of the sizable amount of money they
handle. After briefly disucssing the matter, it was agreed, by common consent, that the
matter would receive further study during the Budget discussions.
EROSION CONTROL - UNINCORPORATED AREAS
A question arose with reference to some feasible plan for the stabilization
of our beaches through some practical erosion control methods in the unincorporated areas
of the County. The County Attorney has studied the matter and made nine recommendations
or steps that would be necessary from a generalized standpoint. The ideas he submitted
were studied by the State Department of Water Resources stating that there were several
ways for providing financial assistance for erosion control by the County. They suggest-
ed that the County Attorney first determine the official policy of the Board of Commiss-
ioners and then seek the means of achieving the goal which they set. Th2y offered their
services in developing a plan. The County Attorney also suggested that the Institute of
Government might lend their counsBl to the drafting of legislation to accomplish the work
and present it to the General Assembly for enactment.
I' BUDGET DISCUSSION - I
A general discussion of the budgeted items was then entered into and when pro-
? per consideration was given to each department and approved as recommended, they reached
???"`? page 9 of the general Budget covering Cour House Repairs. The Chai,rman recalled that
? ver a period of years mention has been made,of remodelling the Commissioners, Room and I
.., _
enlarging it. Pursuant to permission by the Board authorizing the Chairman to employ an I
architect for drawing plans and submitting an estimate for the cost he presented a set I
of drawings for the Board's approval. After studying the proposal, Mr. Metts offered
a motion that the Board authori2e advertising for bids for the renovation and construct-
?? '"?,ion of the Commissionerst Office, having the specifications written with alternates and
provided the contract did not exceed $6,000. It was seconded by Nr. Mayhan and when
a??___#.he ballot was taken, Nir. Braodhurst requested that he be recorded as voting "No" but '
since all the other Commissioners voted "Yes", the Chairman declared the motion carried.

RECE55 -
The Chairman deciared a recess for lunch until 2:30 P. N. at which time

RECONVENTION
At 2:30 P. M. the Board reassembled with the Board of Education in the air-
conditioned Superior Court Room. Dr. Wm. H. Wagoner acted as spokesman for the Board
in the absence of Mr. Emsley A. Laney, who was out of town. In his opening remarks,
Dr. Wagoner called on Dr. W. C. Nebane, a member of the Board, who called attention
to the Building Maintenance and suggested that funds be set aside for that purpose in
view of the fact that when bond issues are used for that purpose, the long range cost
is almost doubled. Each of the budgeted items was discussed in detail by Dr. Wagoner,
assisted by other members of his staff and the Board of Education and all questions
raised by the Board were satisfactorily answered with adjustments being made agreeable
to all at the time. After considering all of the items in the Board of Education's
Budget, the Board adjourned to meet the next morning, July 7th at 8:00 o'clock until ":.

ASSEMBLY -
$: o o A. 71A, '
All Commissioners were present except Mr. Peter H. Braak.
BUDGET REVIEW
After reviewing the various departments, the Clerk of Superior Court was re-
quested to present his estimates. In reviewing the estimates, the Board paid particv-
lar attention to the Juvenile Detention Home request since this is the first year it has
been made by the Clerk of Superior Court who acts as Juvenile Judge. Tt was noted tha?
no Capital Outlay had been recommended although some criticism had recently been made j
with reference to the facilities. Mr. Metts particularly asked the Juvenile Judge to ',
make a recommendation about the facilities and after some discussion they requested thel
Juvenile Judge to reconsider the Budget which he had submitted with a view to updating ,
the Juvenile Home and bring it back to the Board for further consideration. I
RecorderTS Court Budqet - In discussing the Recorder's Court Budget,
particular attention was directed to the personnel and Mr. Edwards, the ex-officio
Clerk stated that he had shifted Mrs. Kate Hensley, an experienced Court employee
over to the Recorder's Court from the Svperior Court Office and replaced her with
