At the request•of Mr. W. J.

He made it clear•that he was not speaking in a professional capacity but as a property owner in the 3urisdiction of the.Winter Park Volunteer Fire Department,Inc. He also cleared any doubt as to the wisdom of an Inspection Committee, in fact they thought it was a good idea BUT also thought each Rural Fire Department should have representation on the Committee. Mr. E. B: Wright, Secretary of the New Hanover Rural Firemens Association, and a1 member of the Wrightsboro Volunteer Fire Department, then spoke for that group and had the Reaolutions and Provisiona of the original agreement in 1952 covering the appointment of inembers of the $nspection°Committee, read. Mr. H. H: Hall 'Chairman of the Inspection Committee, and a member•of•the Ogden Volunteer Fire Department, then spoke for'that group, an4 termed some of the arguments "double-talk". Finally, after many expressions from those present Mr. Holton made the fol- 'lowing motion "That, since the Commisaioners approved the Inspection Committee and the Contracts under the'impression that all Departments were agreeable to the arrangements and the contracts were favorably approved; all forner'actions taken with reference to this subject be recinded; b=arrange for each Volunteer Fire Department to have representation on the Ingpection Committee; c=a member of the Board of County Commissioners should be on the Inspection Committee, ex= Officio - no vote;.d=a meeting.be held with the new Inspection Committee with all Departments represented and report back to the Board of County Commissioners within two weeks." This motion was seconded bv Mr. Broadhurst and unanimously carried. Mr. Richard A. Shew appeared before the Board and suggested a Resolution Commending the present members of the State . Ports Authority, for their untiring efforts to develop our ports and their spleddid 3ob done. Upon motion of Mr. Broad- hurst, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board instructed the County Attorney with Mr. Shew to draft such a commendation and _ -A ,?go, Meeting October 28, 1957 - continued send it to Governor Luther H. Hodges with a similar one to Mr, Fdwin Pate, and requested that the City Council con- evr in this action if they would. The following WFSTERN UNION day letter was sent today "Ny dear Governor: The Board ?,pf County Commissioners of New Hanover County met today and unanimously adopted the following resolution: Be it re- ? solved by the Board of County Commissioners of New Aanover County that the members of the State Ports Authority and the F]cecutive Director, Col. Richard S. Marr, be commended for their outstanding work and achievement in developing ?`he resources of the Ports of North Caroline and that the Governor of North Carolina be requested to retain and re- ? appoint the entire State Ports Authority and the FScecutive Director, because of their excellent record; and further that a copy of this Resolution be sent to Governor Hodges and to Honorable Edwin Pate, Chairman, State Ports Authority. /S/J. M. Ha11,Jr., Chairman, New Hanover County Board of Commissioners." CC Honorable Edwin Pate, Laurinburg, N._ C. Mayor J. E. L. Wade, invited the Board of County Commissioners to pa.rticipate in a joint meeting with the City Council C? at the Council Chambers in the City Hall, Wednesday OEtober 30, 1957 at 9:00 A. M., for the purpose of appointing a Director of Civil Defense for the City-CoBnty Civil Defense Commission and the common interest. Upon motion of Mr. Holton, seconded by Mr. Williams, the Board unanimously adopted and approved the meeting together. ?'- i '. As the Chairman suggested at last weeks meeting the Board study the advisability of putting in a new stoker at the ,Community Hospital, as recommended by the Ehgineer of the firm making the new(used)boiler installation, because the ' ' stoker which was removed from the boiler previously used was entirely inadequate from a capacity standpoint to sup- ply sufficient fuel to the larger boiler being installed, and because the stoker which had been in use in feeding the larger boiler, required frequent attention while the new one recommended - an Iron Firaman - is more nearly auto= matic, and can be depended upon to operate with much less manual supervision. Mr. Williams moved and Mr. Holton sec-1 ? onded a motion that the new Iron Fireman stoker recommended by the firm making the installation be purchased and ` installed at a price of $1,892.00 or less than $1,900.00. Thi.s motion was unanimously passed. ( When the Springer. Coal & Oil Company was informed of thia action they insisted that the price was for the stoker only and that iE J lwould cost $588.00 to make the installation. The Board members were polled and advised of this development and ?agreed to withhold any action on the matter at this time.) ? A letter from Dr.-David P. Thomas of Greenville Sound outlining an unsanitary dumping of refuse, trash and gar-_ bage in his neighborhood, was read and upon motion of Mr. Holton, seconded by Mr. Williams it was referred to the Con Consolidated Hoard of Health for handling xith the request that they report back to the Board whatever action they deemed expediant. Mr. S. B. Shimp had complained that on 10/22/57 stray dogs,had broken into his chicken-house and destroyed between /?$50 and $60 worth_of his hens and in addition wounded and maimed others which he thought might live. He had re- C.d1^?"? ported this to the Sheriff but wanted to Imow from the Board who was to pay the damage as provided in the Dog Law. During the*discussion the Shreiff came in and reported that his office had located the owners of the dogs who had agreed to compensate Mr. Shimp for all 4amages caused,him. Therefore no action was required, except to confirm the restitution with the Complainant Mr Shimp. The Board was informed that there would be a Civil Defense N,eeting Monday November Qth, 1957 at 8:00 P. M. in ???"A ?he City Council Chambers. They all agreed to go if possible, butrequested it be put on the agends for the day (??^^? `?` as a reminder. , The Offer ta purchase.

The offer will be considered at that time. The September Report of the Consolidated Board of Health was accepted and filed for re£erence. .?c ? The Statement from the City of Wilmington to Industrial Properties,Inc amounting to $1,990.00 covering the Water C..?^ and Sewer connections at 3402 South Front Street, was deferred until the joint meeting to be held with the City Council Wednesday and discussed hoping for an amiable agreement on the matter. County Auditor T. D. Love presented an invoice amounting to $235.00 which is,z (one half) the cost of a duplicating machine, A. B. Dick Mimeograph, to be used jointljr by the Consolidated Board of Health and the Auditore Office. ?

This was `Is to be handled next week after they had been checked and certified by the Secretary, ? Tax Supervisor, T. D. Love, made the following recomnendations for the valuations and percentages to be used in the Revaluation Program in 1958: "It is my recommendation that you use 65% of the appraised values as our assessed values. This would of course be applied all across the board on all real property,. . .Using 65% of real values makes it mandatory that we assess other property as near as possible on the same balis,SiTherefore. .. . ; . Personal Property as follows: 1 9utomobiles. ..Use 'Average Finance Value' as published in National Market Reports Red Book which is said to be 66 2/3% of the average retail values; 2 Inventories 65% . . . . 3 Machinery & FAuipment Office Fuxniture etc. ....use 65% of depreciated value, but not less than 25% of cost... .. 4 Household Furn- iture from which 0300 exemption is allowed. ....handle as in the past by the D,isters ....The 65% recotmnendation is made with the proviso that satisfactory arrangements be made with the School Boasd in regard to the 20¢ Sup- plementary Tax. ...that they would receive a comparable amount with the 1957 Budget but receive consideration for the normal growth in the County each year." ?
