RECONVENTION -
Present: Chairman J. M. Hall, Jr., Commissioners L. E. Broadhurst and E. R.
Mayhan. The Chairman explained that the Sheriff called and advised that it was necessary
to draw a jury for the Criminal term of Court for the week beginning February 27th and that
he was in the process of selecting a Grand Jury and, therefore, did not get down to the
regular meeting before it had adjourned. It necessitated this special meeting.
WAIVER OF NOTICE. - I
Upon motion of Nr. Broadhurst, seconded by Mr. Nayhan, the Board unanimously
waived Notice of Meeting as required by General Statute 153-8.
AIRPORT - GROUND TRANSPORTATION
Mr. Louis W. Latham asked for permission to present a plea for the Avis U-Drive-
It system which he represents. At present, we have a contract with the Hertz U-Drive-It
system but Nir. Latham explained that many air passengers carried Avis U-Drive-It credit
cards and it was inconvenient for the custottiers who had made reservations for the use of
Avis cars to call downtown and wait until they could be sent out to the Airport and in
addition the only way the clrivers could know for whorri they had been sent was to question
each passenger upon arrival to see which one had their credit card. If they were allowed
to have an office space in the Airport terminal, the customers seeking their service
would gravitate to their office. He expressed a willingness to pay the same amount that
is paid by the other company for office space and contract at the same rate percentage-
wise on volume. The Chairman assured him that his request would be given proper considera-
tion and Nu. Mayhan offered a motion that a decision be deferred on the matter until a
full Board was present at the regular meeting on February 6th. It was seconded by Mr.
Broadhurst and unanimously approved. The Executive Secretary was instructed to place it
on the Agenda for discussion at that time.

Minutes of the Meeting February 6, 1961 Continued
PETITION FOR RELZEF
'Tlie Departm:ent •of; Pub,l:ic We2fa;re: presented a petition, for admittance to the
County Home, for care of Cato M. Littleton. Mr. Littleton is a wheelchair patient who is
unable to care for himself. He has been living with his daughter who is no longer able to ?
wait on her father. Her husband, W. H. Milton, has to spend qvite a bit of time in the
Veterans' Hospital. He receives a Social Security check in the amount of $33•40 but his
chiidren are going to supplement that amount to reimburse the County for..its cost for keep-
ing him. Some of the Commissioners were familiar with the circumstances and after a brief
discussion, they agreed to ap.prove the application on the basis of $60.00 per month. Upon
motion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board unanimously adopted the request.
A3RPORT GROUND TF?FlNSPORTATION -
Mr. Louis W. Latham, representing the Avis Rent-A-Car Corporation, again present-
ed a request for office space at the New Hanover County Airport in order to serve air pas-
sengers holding Avis Credit Cards. They are willing to enter into a similar agreement as ?
the Hertz U-Drive-It with the same provisions applying to the Avis customers. He feels
that the interest of the traveling public can then be served more efficiently. After a
brief discussion in which the Board was reminded that the Hurst U-Drive-It rendered a ser-
vice during a period when the volume.of business was unprofitable, they felt that study
should be given this request before any definite action was taken. Mr. Metts offered the
motion that it be referred to the Airport Committee and the County Attorney for study as /
to the legality and interest of the traveling public and report back to the Board at the
next meeting on February 20, 1961. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved.
FARM AGEPII'APPROPRIATION -
County Farm Agent D. D. Baggett explained that his office was not partitioned ?-
off which made it very inefficient for when one member of the staff was interviewing some-
one, it meant that the other members were likewise disrupted from their work. He has re-
cently learned that movable partitions are available through the General Services Adminis-
tration at a reasonabie cost. He estimated a maximum of $125.00 would adequately serve
to divide the large office into the smaller interviewing offices. He reported that a nine
cubic refrigerator which was formerly used to keep hog cholera serum is no longer needed
and requested permission to sell it and allow the proceeds Loward his partition job. Mr.
Broadhurst offered a motion that Mr. Baggettbe authorized to sell the refrigerator and
have his office fixed as requested. Mr. Metts seconded the motion with the comment that
all departments should anticipate their needs so that they might be considered and settled
at Budget time. (Mr. Baggett reported that he had been able to sell the refrigerator for
$75.00 cash.) The motion unanimously carried.
CSC APPROPRIATION -
Mr. Foster Edwards explained that his appropriation for handling insane persons,
dope addicts and alcoholism was depleted and requested an appropriation of $500.00 to re-
plenish the fund. He suggested that some consideration might be given to a change in the eA,c.r
General Statutes with reference to self commitment to the County Home. Under the law, he
can only send them to the County Home and not the the County Prison. After some discuss-?f
ion, Mr. Metts offered a motion that $500.00 be appropriated from the General Emergency
Fund to Insane-Inebriate. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously adopted.
DRAINAGE APPROPRIATION - ?
An invoice was received from the E. B. Towles Construction Company amounting to
$82.50 for the use of their dragline and operator covering sz hours work at $15.00 psr hour.
The Executive 5ecretary reported that this was a result of our agreement to assist in open-
ing a ditch alongside Park Avenue in order to drain the new Azalea Shopping Center property /
being developed in that area. The County dragline operator was not available for that par-
ticular day and in the rush to have the work completed, the engineer supervising the job
authorized the Towles Construction Company to use their dragline. After considering the
facts, Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that the County authori2e payment of the operator
for his labor but not for the equipment. The Executive Secretary is to determine the amount
of the labor and appropriate enough funds from the General Emergency Fund to Drainaae and
Erosion to pay for it. Subsequent investigation disclosed the labor amounted to $11.00
which is the amount to be appropriated. The motion was seconded by Mr. Metts and unani- '
mously approved.
DEPUTY CORONER REPORT - t?n.a? -
An invoice was received from Mr. Starr MacMillan for services in making an in-
vestigation of four homicides at $15.00 each. County Auditor T. D. Love reports that the
appropriation for payina a Deputy Coroner has been exhausted. After considering the pro-
blem, Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that the statement be approved by the Coroner before
payment and that the Coroner be requested to supply an explanation for the unusualnumber
of times it has been necessary to use an assistant. It was the understanding at Budget
time that if the appropriated funds were used, any future cost would be deducted from the
Coroners' Salary Account. The motion was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved.
ADVERTISING - NORTH CAROLINA SUPPLEMENT
The Chairman reminded the Board that he had requested the Executive Secretary
to call each memberfor approval to enter a joint agreement with the City, Chamber of Com-
merce and the Committee of 100 on inserting an advertisement in the North Carolina Spring
Vacation .Supplement of the New York Times at a cost not to exceed $200.00 to the County.
He requests that Lhe Board now ratify this agreement "nunc pro tunc'". Mr. Metts offered
a motion that the County enter into such an agreement on a pno rata basis and that the
funds be appropriated from the General Emergency Fund to pay the County's share. It was
seconded by Mr. Broadhurst and unanimously approved by the Board.
FORECLOSED PROPERTY SALE -
The Executive Secretary reported that on December 19, 1960 approval was given
for the sale of a jointly owned lot in which F. C. Sadgwar owned a third interest in the
amount of $360.00 which was the valuation placed on it by the Property Assessors. The
prospective buyer refused to purchase on that basis and requested a reappraisal by the
Assessors. Messrs. McGirt and Blake made another investigation and have revised the val-
uation to $300.00. Upon motion of Mr. Broadhurst, seconded by Mr. Braak, the Board unani-
mously approved the sale at the reduced figure of $300.00, subject to the approval of the
City Council.

FORECLOSED PROPERTY SALE -
The Executive Secretary reported that he had a request for approval for sale
of a jointly owned tax foreclosed lot # 3 in Block 300 which has been inspected and
appraised by the County Property Assessors at $1,000. The lot is 66' by 150' fronting
on Dickinson Street. They advise that if we sell 33t by 150' we can divide the appraisal
of $1,000 in half and sell it for $500. Upon motion of Mr. Broadhurst, seconded by Mr.
Metts, the Board unanimously approved this sale, subject to approval of the City Council.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY -
/ The Executive Secretary reported that some of the employees were inquiring
? about February 22nd as a legal holiday. He has examined the records and finds that it
has been customary in past years to allow this holiday.for County employees. Mr. Broad-
hurst offered a motion that it be approved for this year. It was seconded by Mr. Metts
and unanimously adopted.
CONFEDERATE CENTENNIAL COMN!ITTEE -
The Chairman informed the Board tfiat he had received a letter from Mr. Henry J.
MacMillan, Chairman of the New Hanover 8ounty Centennial Committee requesting the Board
members to attend a meeting of the enlarged committee on Thursday night, February 9th in
? the Conference Room of the new Carolina Savings and Loan Association building at 7:45 P.N.
The purpose of this meeting is to formulate plans for participation in the Centennial
CeTLebration to be commemorated in the next four years. The State Department of Archives
and History have designated Fort Fisher as the most important North Carolina site and
have plans for the restoration and the development of a Museum to house the artifacts and
relics. He urged all the members to attend this important meeting if possible.
WILMINGTON COLLEGE -
County Auditor T. D. Love announced that he had $3,750.00 interest accrued to
? Wilmington College Funds which should be appropriated as agreed. Mr. Metts offered a
?)r,S„vwQ. motion that $3,750.00 be appropriated from the Interest Account Fund to Wilmington Col-
/ lege Building Fund. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved.
SCHOOLS - INSURANCE '
Mr. Love reported that he had received $5,425•46 from the insurance companies
as a result of School building damage of Hurricane Donna. This money should be allocated
? to Schools-Repairs and Maintenanee. Mr. Metts offered a motion that $5,425.46 be appro-
priated to Schools-Repairs 8 Maintenance Account to reimburse them for the money they had
already spent. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved.
AUDITOR SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
County Auditor T. D. Love submitted his semi-annual report for the fiscal year
1960-61 showing that 61% of the estimated revenue has been received for a total of
$2,663,188.74. Expenditures for the first six months amounts to 1}4% of the appropria-
tions which indicates that spending by the various departments is well in line with the
Budget.
LISTING -
*-P"" /
County Auditor Love reports that
business concerns have noticeably cut down
that intangibles show a downward trend.
MOSQUITO COTdTROL PROGRP.M
tax listing is good for this year but that
on their inventories. He likewise reports
The Chairman reported that he had received information from the State Board of
Health governing State Aid to Mosquito Controlled Districts or other local governmental
units. He is of the opinion that if the County dragline is controlled by the Consolidated
Board of Health and used in Mosquito Controlled Undertakings, the maximum State Aid avai]-
able is $15,000.00. The local Consolidated Board of Health is now receiving $6,000.00
from this fund. If the dragline is used for drainage of mosquito breedi_ng areas, the
State will ailow a rental rate of $10.00 per hour provided it is operated on-approved F9os-
quito Controlled Projects. He expressed the opinion it might be advisabie for the County
to enterw??l8 an arrangement with the Consolidated Board of Health for use ofthe drag-
line whic accom.plish two purposes. First, it will drain many of the mosquito breeding
areas which has always been a prime purpose for its use even though the agricultural angle
was stressed in order to justify the use of the Soil Conservation Engineer in making sur-
veys and supply cutsheets. Second, it will eliminate the appropriation by the County for
the Drainage and Erosion and collect in lieu thereof approximately $9,000.00 in additional
State Revenue if used. He requested the Board to express themselves before he conferred
with t,he Consolidated Board of Health on the matter. The Board expressed a fauorable opin-
ion of this proposition but no final action was taken.
INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT -
The Chairman announced that he had been notified by Dr. Albert Coates that the
?school for County Commissioners was scheduled for March 29, 30 and 31. He suggested that
()oy?n?vW4101"'?any member of the Board who could attend this school would be well paid for their time if
they would consider it between now and the next meeting. The Executive 'Secr.etary was
instructed to put it on the Agenda for the next meeting.
/ GRAND JURY REPORT -
? The report submitted by the Grand Jury to Judge Malcolm C. Paul, presiding at
the January 16th Criminal Court was reviewed. The only suggestion was a need for a sink,
sterilizer, and storage cabinet for the hospital section of the County Home. The matter
was referred to Commissioner Braak, who is the County Home Committee. He reported that
they had more trouble with the boilers during this last cold spell and consideration was•
being given about recommending conversion to automatic oil firing for maybe gas or elec-
tric unit heaters.
PUBLIC ROAD HEARING -
Notice was received from the State Highway Commission that a Public Hearing
V(,CfLy"' would be held at the Division Office between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 P. M. on Tuesday,
