Special Called Meeting January 25, 1965 Continued
A PUBLIC STATEMENT - (continued) ,
reconciling all your Bank Accounts each month. As stated to you I will
render all assistance you want from me. " .
Clerk of Superior Court H. Foster Edwards was then recognized by the Chairman and made
the following remarks which he has addressed to the County Attorney:
" This refers to County Auditor. Mr. T. D. Love's letter of January 22, 1965
concerning our Superi?or Court Sup,port account and an alleged sho.rtage!or $453•63.•
Tliis account was set up more than ten years , but only recently has it come
under an exhaustive audit, therefore human errors, both on our part and those of the
depository, have crept in and have gone undetected.
At present, there are nearly 200 support accounts, as many if not more Re-
corderts Court Support accQUnts; both Courts have nearly ten different checking
accounts, and there are over 250 trust accounts, thus you can realize, in our daily
rush to process the different types of funds, errors cannot help but be made.
I told Mr. Love that we will watch the balances very carefully, that the
account will be reconciled promptly at the end of each month, then should discrepan-
cies continue he must,as the law requires, make demand on me for that difference.
I have already told him that I will promptly pay the amount demanded.
Mr. Love will be the first to admit there has been no evidence of calculated ?
mismanagement of these funds. The staff inembers who, over the years, have been ?
charged with all responsibilities of the account, are women of .'flaWless character
and reputation. Love is 100% satisfied the alleged discrepancies are a result of
recent and old human errors on our part and those of the bank.
I would like to point out that I, personally, haven't made a disbursement
from this support account in many years." I
Mr. Edwards then requested the Board'to exercise patience and allow his office time to
check out the discrepancies. Mr. Vaughan then observed that he had noticed over the past years that alleged shortages were reported from time to time in the Clerk of Court':'
Office and he would like to have the Auditor look into the system and report on the _
methods as well as the progress being made to remedy the situation. Mr. Vaughan then
said that he hesitated to bring up one piece of business which has conscientiously ?
worried him since the Hearing that was held by the Judge about the actions of the County
Auditor. He understands that in the Hearing on two occasions the Clerk of Superior
Court admitted that he knew of the i.rregularities iri the Recorder's Court Office but
that no action had been taken with reference to it even after the Judge had repremanded ?
the County Auditor for not taking certain action. He requested the County Attor,ney to
give him a report or opinion as to the culpability of the Clerk of Superior Court, also
that the Auditor be requested to see that all departments have propericontrol set up
for their,operation. These requests were approved and consented to by common consent
of the Board. ADJOURNMENT
The Chairman asked if there was any further business to come before the I
Board and if not, he would entertain a motion for adjournment. The motion was made ?
by Mr. Braak and seconded by Mr. Vaughan and unanimously approved.

I A PUBLIC STATENiENT - CSC ?
I Mr. H. Foster Edwards, Clerk of Superior Court, made the'following statement
, in answer to the request of the Board at their special meeting held on .lanuary 25, 1965
as follows:
I "In accordance with your request at your special meeting January 25, 1965, that I
? make a report February 1, 1965 as to our efforts to find alleged shortages in the
above entitled account in the amount of $453•63, I am happy to report that $33•50
of the questioned amount has been found and procedure is now under way to have
this sum properly credited to the Support account.
' The facts, briefly: on or about Decembes. L8, 1962, we made a deposit in the Sup-
port account of $433•50•
The Wachovia Bank and Trust Company rouie?d:•fi,riat $433•50 to the credit of Recorderls
Court Generai Account, an error which the bank admits.
' Once this error was discovered our staff started checking all canceled checks and
monthly bank statements on the Support account from December 18, 1962 through and
including August, 1964 to determine if the bank or Recorder's Court Clerk had cor-
? rected this error. There was no evidence of this sum ever having heen paid over
I to the support account, or to me, for deposit in •the support account.
, At the same time, we checked ciut-7 all caricel3:edi checY.s and bamk statements, durin-g a
s36ilar'peri.od'on'Reco"rde?.'s Court General Fund account. This account showed a de-
posit or.$433.50 on December 18, 1962, and we checked the Generai Account from the
I? date in question throuyh and inciuding August, 1964 and nothing was found -- a dis-
I bursement or cancelled check -- to show this sum was reimbursed to the Superior
Court Support account. •
I As far as I know the money is still in the Recorder's Court General Account.
? We will continue our review of the Support account and hope that the difference
between $453•63 and $33•50 -- a matter of $20.13 -- will be found.
I cannot praise our Superior Court ladies too highly for their dedication in running
out this bank error. They worked several nights,after hours, first organizing the
exhibits of this account, -- receipt books, deposit slips, bank statements, canceled
checks, check stubs -- and then checking deposit slips against bank statements,
canceled checks against bank balances, and so forth.
I respectfully request that this letter and that of Mr. Hardin, the cashier of the
Wachovia Bank and Trust Company, become a part of the minutes of this meeting."
IIHe exhibited the following statement fr,om the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company:
"On December 18, 1962, we credited a deposit in the amount of $433•50 to the
Recorder Court, General Fund, which should have properly been credited to the
Clerk of Superior Court Support Account.
I sincerely regret the bank made this error on your account and if it has
not already been properly transferred by you to the Clerk of Superior Court, Sup-
port Account, please advise us so that we may correct this error." •
IMr. Bo4rden then questioned Mr. Edwards if the bank balances had been reconciled monthly, would
!this error in the deposit have been discovered at the time it was made. Mr. Edwards agreed
that in all probability it would have been and the correction made at that time. At this
time, the Auditor presented the following statement:
"In the course of the above capt,ioned audit, we made an analysis of deposits
and checks in the Recorder's Court General Account at the bank. Our analysis of
deposits indicates a deposit entered December 18, 1962 on the December 1962 bank
statement in the amount of $433.50 for which no duplicate deposit slip was located
and which we had noted for the attention of the State Bureau of Investigation.
This item of $433•50 is reflected on Schedule 3 of the report in the "Deposit Column,"
and is included in the December 1962 deposit totalling $9,474•39.
We have reviewed our reconciled working papers that support Schedule 3 and
have not found where this deposit (unidentified at the time of our audit) in the
! amount of $433.50 has been disbursed in that identical amount from the bank account
, through August 31, 1964. Mr, Foster Edwards, Clerk of Superior Court, New Hanover County, North
Carolina, has informed us by memorandum dated January 29, 1965, "Our staff has dis-
covered that a deposit in the amount of $433.50 on December 28, 1962 in our Superior
I Court Support Account-Y
!?,never credited to this Support Account.
? "Inquiry at the bank has revealed that the deposit in the amount of $433.50
was credited to the Clerk Recorder's Court General Account."
Identification of the aforementioned deposit will result in the following
net changes in the subject audit-report:

The County Attorney then observed that it would be necessary for.him to amend his letter I'
demanding recovery of the total shortage from the bonding company which would be increasei
by an amount of $433.50. The Board, by common consent, authorized him to proceed on thi?
basis. '
EXTENSION SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT -
Mr. D. D. Baggett, Chairman of the County ExLension Service, accompanied by
the professional staff inembers, made their annual report covering the activities for the ?
past year. He stated that New Hanover County is largely urban but the activ3ties of
his department in areas other than strictly farming, demanded muEh attention especially
w3th reference to the nurseries. He introduced Miss Verna Belle Lowery, one of the ,
Home Economics Agents, who stated that they had concentrated for the past year on manage-
ment of the family dollar. He then introduced Mrs. Rebecca L. Hall, the other Home I
Economics Agent, who stated that their overall objective was to help people increase
their knowledge which gives them a better attitude toward life in general. The two 4-H '
Club Agents made a brief report about their activities. Mr. Braak o.bserved that in his ?I
opinion another 4-H Club Agent could be used in the County to a good advantage to work
with the negro young people. Mr. Baggett thanked the Board for allowing them to pre-
sent their report and announced that they would move to their new offices and that the
only lack at the present time was lights which they are having installed although there
would not be sufficient funds to put lights in their meeting room. II
A ROAD PETITION -
Mr. E. R. McKoy, accompanied by citizens living on Secondary Roads No. 1319
and 1320 near the Airport, presented a petition asking that a new road be constructed
along the edge of the New Hanover County Airport from the terminal of Secondary Road No.
1319 to the intersection of Secondary Road No. 1175 and No. 1327. The reason for this
request is because in the extension of a new.rumaay at the Airport one of their access
roads between their homes and Wilmington has been closed. After discussing thi5 problem,
Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that this petition be referred to the Division Engineer of tle 5
State Highway Commission with the endorsement of the Board of Commissioners for considera-
tion. It was seconded by Nr. Braak and unanimously approved.
EROSION PROBLEM - I
Mr. E. R. McKoy reported to the Board that the new construction at the Airport
was turning additional water into a ditch which is adjacent to his property. He said
that originally the ditch was 81 wide but now it has eroded because of the large volume
of water being run into it and that his tront yard is being eroded away gradually. He
requested that some action be taken on the problem. Mr. Vaughan suggested that the
Executive Secretary be authori2ed to look into the problem and bring back recommendations
to the Board. Mr. Bowden was of the opinion that this shQUld be handled by the Airportll
Committee.
E"ASEMENT -
The Car,olina Power and Light Company requested permission to construct, main-
tain, and operate permanent facilities within a 30' wide strip across County property
alongside of South 17th Street for the purpose of transmitting electricity. They pre-
sented a formal easement instrument outlining the details of this request which was
approved upon motion of Mr. Hall, subject to the approval of Mr. Bowden who will contact
the Carolina Power and Light Company enyineers relative to proper clearance of height
for the wires. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unanimously approved and siqned by
the Chairman.

of clerical errors in the Tax Listing Office. This recommendation is beino made under

by Mr. Braak and unanimously adopted.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
Mr. Hall observed that from time to time, it had been called to hi5 attention
that the Board was dragoing its feet in implementing the program of the Planning and !
Zor.ing Board buL that as he understands the matter, it is up to them to bring in recom- I
mendations for the Board to consider and act upon. He cited that as soon as the planni'.Zg
and 2oning Board made the recommendation to beain the office of the Building Inspector,
the Board took immediate steps to do so and that in presenting the Mobile Home Ordinance
for adoption by the Board it was found that the Consolidated Board of Health already
had such an Ordinance and that it would require an Act of the Legislature to chan5e the
responsibility from the Board of Health to the Board od Commissioners. He suggested
that the Executive Secretary write to the Chairman of the Planning and 2oning Board and
explain to him that this Board feels that it is up to them to make recommendations and
present them to the Board of County Commissioners for rejection or modification. By
common consent`, the Board concurred in this suggestion.
STUDEiNT GOVERNMENT DAY -
A letter was received from officials of Atew Hanover High School and Williston
Senior High School proposing the followino alternatives for conducting Student Local
Government Day as follows: ,
?
1. The Board of County Commissioners and the City Council conduct meetings at the
schools as part of Government Day observance. The two Boards would alternate betrr:en the two schools from year to year, ruling out the problem of dual meetings in a ?
given year. Government students would be scheduled so that they might be allowed
to observe these sessions.
2. The elected student officials from each school would visit their counter-parts I
in the City and County government after schooi on a given date. This meeting
would involve.city and county officials and their counter-parts from each school.
It is proposed that these sessions last approximately 112 hour.
Mr. Hall then offered a motion that these recommendations be approved provided they I
meet the concurring approval of the City Council. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and
unanimously carried. i

stated that the Board of Education has agreed to open the School libraries at
Gregory School located at 410 S. lOth Street and the Alderman School on Canterbury Road
Ifor the summer provided they allow their own Librarians to supervise them. He reported
,that it had been necessary in the past for them to employ extra people at the Hlilmington
'Public Library during the two summer months of July and August to carry on the increased
load and they feel that by using the two schooi libraries they rrould not be required to
employ additional personnel to take care of the extra service required at the main library.
They feel that this is an experimental program for this year only and recommend that the
Board approve it. This will require permission from the Board of Commissioners to author-
ize the $1200.00 appropriated for the payment of extra help usually employed at the main
library over to the Board of Education for the payment to their librarians who will be
supervising. After questioning Mr. Poisson, Mr. Hall moved that the Board approve the
use of the appropriated funds for this purpose provided that it is done on an experimental
basis and does not commit the Board to next year and provided that the amount disbursed
does not exceed the amount of money appropriated in this year's Budget. It was seconded
by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved.
NEWSPAPER ADVERT.ISING .-., . . ." ? -
Dr. Hooper reported that he had a lette0from the News and Observor announcing
that they were working on a historic addition which would reveal the face and heart of
North Carolina's incredible century 1865 - 1965. It is to be known as the 100th Anniver-
sary Edition. After a brief discussion, Mr. Hall offered a motion that this matter be
referred to the Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce for consideration as they are now
authorized to spend the County's Advertising Funds. it was seconded by Dr. Hooper and
unanimously carried.
RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Chairman presented a letter to the board from the Chairman of the Planning
and Zoning Board recommending that the Board of Commissioners appoint a County Parks and
Recreational Advisory Board for the purpose of evaluating the possibilities of develop-
ing recreational facilities in neiyhborhood parks and suhdivisions and formulate a County-
I`wide program at the County level through the assistance of the Federal and State govern-
?ment. After a brief discussion, it was decided,by common consent, to defer any definite
action on this recommendation until the next meetiny and the Executive Secretary was in-
Istructed to pass the information on to Mr. Vaughan for his study.
MASONBORO JETTY -
The Chairman reported that he had received a request from`the U. S. Corps of
Engineers proposing a jetty at Nasonboro Inlet in an attempt[io stabilize it. He has
lasked County Attorney L. Bradford Tillery to investigate the possibility of acquiring
p*operty or easements on'which to build the jetty. N?r.- Tillery reported that he had not
Icompleted his investigation but found that one of the lots necessary is owned by the Town
of Wrightsville Beach and he hopes they will donate it and, to the best of his belief,
lother property necessary for this project is probably under water but will requir'e fur-
Ilther investigation. He understands that part of the property needed might be in some
dispute so far as the ownership is concerned. He wili pursue this further and ascertain
Ithe complete facts.
J W En1 I LE DETENT I ON HOME
The Chairman reported that he had received some recommendations from the Public
Welfare Department about Juvenile Detention Homes and suggested that it might be a proper
subject for study by the Joint Study Committee for resolving the areas of misunderstanding
and recommendations for handling them. Mr. Braak reported that this subject was dis-
cussed by the Public 4lelfare Board and it is his understandina that the Department of
Public Welfare is responsibile for juveniles in the County and that they have under consad-
eration a plan for 2 homes which would be paid $100.00 per month, plus $2.00 per day, for
each Juvenile resident and would be kept open on a 24 hour a day basis with supervision
at all times. After discussing the pros and cons of this question, Mr. Hall offered a
motion that it be referred to the Joint Study Committee for their consideration. It was
seconded by Mr. Bowden and unanimously carried.
County Auditor T. D. Love, Jr. reported that he had received $2,000,000 from
the 'sale of the last bond anticipation notes and had already put $600,000 to work in the
hopes of ear;"ting enough interest to carry it.
BOND MOIVEY -
CONFERENCE TABLE -
Mr. Braak exhibited a sketch of a table in the shape of a crescent which he
thought would better serve the purpose of the Board and recommended that some thought
