A letter was received from the Division Engineer of the State Highway Commiss-
ion in answer. to the fequesy made by J. H. Ligon for repairs to a section of Park Avenue
in the neighborhood of #5007. He stated that after investigation it was found that the
SLaLe Highway Commission has no responsibility for the maintenance of that section of Par1
Ave. The Board authorized the Executive Secretary to inform Mr. Ligon of this decision.
INSECT 8 RODENT CONTROL QUARTERS -
The Executive Secretary reported that Dr.. Duvis and Nir. Cranford of the Health
Department reminded him Lhat the quarters provided at the Airport for their Insect and
Rodent Controi Division were temporary and are inadequate to operate efficiently. They
requested that this matter be brought before the Commissioners.for further consideration
After a brief discussion in the office, the Board decided to visit the space and building
set aside as a temporary base of operations and see for themselves what the probelm is.
The Chairiman then declared the meeting temporarily recessed to reassemble at the site.
After all the members of the Board had reached the temporary site and made an
inspection of the quarters, they decided.that the portion of the building now being rent-
ed to the Somersett Construction Company for the small amount of $45.00 per month could
be used by the Health Department to better advantage of the County. Upon motion of Mr.
Metts, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board instructed the Executive Secretary to see that
the Somersett Construction Company was notified that this building would be needed by the
County for its own operation on and after January 1, 1965 and request that they vacate thE
premises by that time; (The Airport Manager advised that the construction compa?ay occup,
ied the quarters on a month to month lease so a 60 day's notice wovld be sufficient.)
also to have an?,estimate made by a reliable painter as to the amount of inetal paint would;
be required to ret?pa.int the walls of the building and just how much it would cost and to ?
confer with the County Attorney to see if there is any legal reason why prison labor couli
not be used to do the painting work. I

partment of Archives and•History, calling attention to the. work tha't is being done at
the Fort•Fisher historic site and stating that the funds tentatively appro`priated would
be needed shortly as the Restoration of the Palisade fence is already underway and that

nial Committee. He ex•pressed gratitude for the past cooperation and hoped bhat they
would continue their public spirited support of this important historic site development.

Fort F.isher, advising.that he had been told that a volume of Clark's North Carolina Regi-
ment, belonging to the County is stored in the vault of the Cierk of Superior Court. He re-
quests that the Commissioners give them permission to put this book, or ?sketch, in the
Museum being prepared a,t Fort Fisher. The County Attorney ruled that it is a public re-
cord and is available to the.public but in his opinion should be kept 3n the vaul•t although
it should be made available to any qualified person asking for it.
DITCHING PROBLEN
' Mr. Braak reported that Mr. George W. Gurganious, 629 Castle Hayne Road, com-
plained to him about the taater washing away part of his yard. He has inspected the prob-
lem and so far as he can determine the oniy solution is to install pipe to carry the water,
as a culvert under the highway at that point drains much of the surface water from across
the road and i't rushes down the ditch. It is a line ditch between his property and the
neighbors. He is of th'e opinion that the Board visit the State Highway Commission and ex-
plain it to them. He recommended that the County prison work forces be allowecl to in-
stall the pipe providing it is furnished. The Chairman, along with Messrs. Braalc and
Broadhurst, agreed to consuit the State Highway Commission with referenCe to this problem.

During the discussion of this sub,ject, it was suggested that the Board should make a
physical inspection of the office before making a decision. (After adjournme nt of the
meeting, the Board repaired to the Recorder's Court Office for the inspection.)
EXTENSION SERVICE QUARTERS
Mr. J. D. McCarley, Chairman of the County Extension Advisory Council, along
with its memhers and County Agent, D. D. Baggett, came before the Board and stated that the
General Services Admitl3stration has requested that the offices which they occupy in the
Custom House will be needed by the Federal Government on January 1, 1965 and they are re-
quested to have them vacated by that time. They are of the opinion that suitable quarters
can be made at the old hospital section of the County Home with a minimum of remodelling
cost. They requested the Commissioners to make it availabie to the Agricultural Extension
Service for a permansnt office. They presented an estimated cost of $2,631.00 for the re-
pairs that will be necessary Lo the buiiding and an operating,qost of $100.00 per month.
The Chairman explained that ihe Board is operating on a very close budget this year and
they would have to take this matter under consideration before making a definite decision.
Mr. Braak reported that they had sold enough farm produce along with the cattle and hogs
to pay for this renovation and he felt like sufficient revenue has been derived from the
sales to pay the cost of this proposal and suggested an appropriation might be made from
Unanticipated Funds. Mr. Broadhurst suggested that Mr. Baggett confer aith the Agricul-
ture, Stabilization and Conservation Office to see if they might make some monetary con-
tribution toward the quarters, on a sqaure foot basis, which they will occupy. After a
brief discussion of the problem, the Board decided that they would make a physical inspect-
ion of the oid buildings before making a definite decision on this matter.
DRAINAGE PROSLEM - Carolina Beach Complying with the request d the Board of Commissioners in regard to the drain-
age at the south of Carolina Beach Town limit, Mr. Jack Webb, the Town Manager, reported
that the Engineers who investigated the problem recommend the following action to alleviate
the outfall of the Wilmington Beach ditches northward into the east-west outfall:
n
A. Clean Henniker (East-West) Ditch bed only of debris from Lake Park Boulevard
to the Henniker Ditch (North-South). .
B. Clean the North-South Ditch bed from its intersection with the East-West Ditch
northward through the Town.
C. Clear the banks of the ditch in paragraph A. above.
D. Clear the banks of the ditch in paragraph B. above.
It is not recommended to reroute the Wilmington - Hanby Beach drainage ditches away from
the present outfall. All ditches in this entire area need maintenance cutting and ditch
bed,-cl'eaning. "
Mr. W. H. Cranfbrd, Sanitarian for the Health Department was called and he reported that
along with the State Sanitation Officer, Mr. Usry, was?willing to go along with this pro-
,ject from a sanitatinn and health hazard standpoint as there is heavy algae growth, scum
deposits and mosqvito breeding condition. After a brief discussion, it was decided,by
common consent, that Executive Secretary Houck and Sanitation Director Cranford are to
coordinate the accomplishment of this ditching problem through the prison work force and
Ithe Health Department dragline.
`WILDLIFE REFUGE
Mr: Braak suggested that since most of the territory in which the above ditches
are located is a part of the'Sunny Point Ammunition Depot buffer zone, he thouoht it would
be a fine thing to make an effort to have it deciared a Wildlife Refuge developed by the State
land Federal governments. . Other members of the Board thought this might be a good idea but
no definite action was taken at this time.'
WELFARE LIEN
The Public Welfare Department reques,ted approval for the sale of 3.2 acres of
'land on which they have a lien as a result of grants?made to Beatrice and Horace Hankins
who inherited it from Enoch Peterson. It is needed by the Federal Aviation Agency to com-
plete the extension of a runway at the New Hanover County Airport. The lien amounts to
$802.00. The fair market value of the property is appraised at $6,200.00. Mrs. Beatrice
Hankins is to receive a net of $350.00 for her share after the sale is completed. , After
a brief explanation by Mr. Braak, who is Chairman of the Public Welfare Board, he offered
a motion that it be approved. It was seconded by Mr. Netts and unanimous2y carried, snb-
,ject to the approval of the County Attorney.

?I DR,4INAGE DITCHING -
Mr. Metts stated that he had received many calis with reference to the drainai
ditches in the County. He suggested that the old Drainage Committee appointed by the
Board severai years ago be reactivated and that as soon as the County Farm need for pri-
son labor is finished, the prisoners be released to speed up the hand ditching as soon
as possible. The Chairman explained that the Ditching Committee did not investigate or'
recommend on hand ditching jobs but only for dragline jobs which are now beirig handled
by the Public Health Department. Mr. Metts then offered a motion that all requests forli
? hand ditching be reviewed and a crew of prieoners assigned to clean them out as soon as
they are available.after the Farm operation is closed. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan
and unanimously passed.
NACO -
Ehe Chairman presented the invoice for a subscription to a program of service?
for ;4merican County government sponsored by the National Association of Counties and desg-
nated as County Information Service. The cost for this service amounts to .002d per pei.-
son based on the County's population of 71, 7(}2 plus $25.00 making a total of s168.48
per year. After a brief consideration, Mr. Mayhan offered a motion Lhat the service be
approved and the subscription paid. It was seconded by Mr. Metts and unanimously
approved. '
ROAD PETITIONS
I /
A group of citizens living in the Springview Subdivision presented a request
for the addition of Springview Drive, Spring Branch Road, Riplee Drive and Ripwo?od Road
be added to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. lJpon motion of Mr. Broadhurst,
seconded by Mr. Braak, the petition was ordered sent to the State Highway Commission;for
their consideration.
SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD
The Chairman read a letter from the New Hanover Schools saying that they had ?
investigated the Lraffic conditions at the intersection of Canterbury Road and Independ-
ence Boulevard, wh3ch is near the Alderman School, and find a critical need for a traffic?
guard at that intersection. He recalled he had interviewed members of the Board as to
their atiitude and they agreed that it was of sufficient import to approve the crossing
guard immediately and therefore he had authorized the Board of Education to place one at that
inters.ection. He asked the Board to ratify this action "nunc pro tunc". Upon motibn
of Mr. Mayhan, seconded by Mr. Metts, the Board approved the action by majority vote.
Mr. Broadhurst is of the opinion that a school crossing guard should be transferred from
one of the Junior High School crossin%V voted against the motion. The Chairman declared
the moLion prevailed by majority vote. • I
SCHOOL INSPECTIOUS - '?
The-Chairman read a letter from the Manager of the City of lr?ilmington calling
aLtention to the requiremenLs of GS 115-150.2 for the County to provide a schooi inspectir.
He reminded the Board that in the past the City Fire Safety Department had been making
all the inspections inside the City limits but this was agreed to at a time when the I
County did not have an Electrical Inspector to do this work. He requests the County to
take over the inspection of all schools as the City is extending its limits and the large
areas to be annexed will prevent their inspection division from continuing the inspectio
of schools within the City. After a discussion of this problem, it was decided to re-I
fer dt to the Joint Committee appointed hy the County and City for the discussion'and
recommendations on mutuai problems. Mr. John Van B. Metts, .lr. is Chairman of this
committee.
TAX LISTING CORRECTION
Mr. Robert A. Little, representing the Wilmington Printing Company, reported
that a clerical error had been made in the original billing of the 1964 taxes which they
paid in July in order to receive the 2% discount. Since that time, it has been discover-
ed that additional listings were uncovered on which they wish to also receive the 2% dis-1i
count because they would have paid the total amount of tax if it had been correctly.billed.
He also reported his personal taxes were prepaid and that later an error was discovered
in his personal taxes for which he is requesting the 2% discount because he would have
prepaid it and receive& it if it had been correctly billed. Upon motion of•Mr. Mayhan,
seconded by Mr. Metts, the Board unanimously approved allowino the 2% discount on the
additional listings which were discovered caused by a clericai error in the Tax Listing
Department. ' I
EROSION PROBLEM
Frank C. Hill appeared before the Board and stated that he is the owner of
Freeman Beach located north of Carolina Beach and south of the new inlet cut at Carolina
Beach some years ago. Since that time, the currents caused by this inlet have eroded
177 acres of taxable property. He presented a petition signed by some of the property
owners requesting the Commissioners to authorize the closing of the inlet which he be-
lieves will stop terrible erosion of the land at this point. The CountyALtorney
stated that it would be a matter of jurisdiction which would have to be checked with the?
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers so he suggested that the Board defer any action at this ti
and he would determine the proper authority for taking any action on the matter. The
Board accepted the petition s;gned by a large ma,jority of the property owners but with II
the understanding that it would be returned to him if it was found after investigation,
that they had no jurisdiction, i
CAPE FEAR RIVER BRIDGE
Mr. Metts reported that he had received many inquiries with reference to the
progress being made on•the new Cape Fear River Bridge and suggested that we write the
City and ask them for any information with reference to the present status of the bridge
plans. •
SPOIL AREA - '
A letter was received from the Dis"trict Engineer of the Army Corps of Engin-
eers requesting the Board to furnish assurance of local cooperation in the deepening of
the Northeast Cape Fear River navigation project providing a 25ft. deep channel 200ft.
wide. It is necessary at this time for the County to provide an onshore spoil dis- .
