mended by the County Auditor above were approved, however Mr. ?roadhurst voted against the

WELFARE REPORT -
? The regular quarterly report of the New Hanover County Department of Public 4Je1-
p,,,.?, fare was submitted by the Superintendent, Mrs. Helen B. Sneeden, showing that the Aid to
'bl"0"' Dependent Children budgeted fund was going to need an additional appropriation before the

?j?p•c,?'-^' that the ADC recommendation for the riext f3scal year was increased by $21,000.00 the.Board,
discussed the alarming rate at which public assistance programs U!ere advancing. Mr. Braak
suggested that the employment of additional case workers to keep a closer screen on the
applicants and reciprocants would help to keep down the increasing trend. Mr. Chariton A.
Pope, a local citizen, remarked that the program started out as an emeraency measure and
finally developed ir.to creeping socialism but now it had gotten to the point that it uJas
galloping socialism. After some further discussion, N?r. Williams offered a motion that
the Chairman be authorized to sign the Assistance Estimate in behalf of the County provid-
ed comparative copies of the items in the 1959-60 Budget and the ?960-61 Budget be furnish-
ed each Commissioner for study.
LINCOLN FOREST -
The Executive Secretary informed the Board that he had pursued their instructions
to the Oleander Company for changing the name of Hermitage Road in Lincoln Forest Subdivi-
?? sion because of confusion with an old established road of the same name between Wilmington
and Castle Hayne. It is recommended by the developers that it be changed to Kingsley Road.
Upon motion of Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Braak, the new street name was unanimously
approved by the Board.
FROTOTYPE COMNRJNITY FALL-OUT SHELTER -
The Executive Secretary reported that he had sat in on a conference with Federal
authorities at the request of our locai Director of C3vi1 and Defense Mobilizat3on for the
purpose of listenino to a proposal to erect a 50 man prototype fall-out shelter by the Feder-
al government with an expenditure of.$10,000. ) The County's obligation for the first year
? would be to furnish the site which they proposed be in the basement of the present Court
C House building, a,. 14 day food and water sup?p
ly, elimentary cooking and serving equipment

occapied during the 12 months period and used by the County for whatever purpose it chose.

izing the issuance of $84,000 Court I-Iouse Sonds of the County of New Hanover", which has
been introduced on April 19, 1960, has been published in the Wilmington Morning Star, on
April 21, 1960, with notice that the Board of Commissioners would hold a public hearing
thereon on May 2, 1960 at 10:00 o'clock in the forenoon. Commissioner Berry A. Williams

seconded by Commissioner Peter H. Braak and was adopted, Commissioner Broadhurst voted
"No".

citizen or taxpayer who desired to be heard with respect to the Bond Order. At the direct- ??
ion of the Chairman, the Clerk read the Bond Order and the published Notice of Hearing, 01 Mr. Charlton A. Pope announced that he was appearing in behalf of tiimself and ?
13 or 14 other citizens and taxpayers to protest against the Bond Order. He presented ?
the following petition and asked that it be made a matter of record:
"We, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers of New Hanover County, respectfully
protest the Bond Order passed by your Board at its last meeting and published in the Wil-
mington Morning Star at 6•lilmington, North Carolina,on April 21,1 1960.
We contend that the cost of changing the present heating system of the County Court
Hovse.. is not a'necessar.y "expense _. and.;does not :•qualify?,as _ one , of
tHe, purposes for which bonds may be issued and taxes levied as defined by Section 153-
77 of The County Finance Act; that Mr. Henry M. Vone Oesen, Architect, employed by your
Board admitted, when questioned by Mr. Broadhurst of your Board, that the present heating
system was adequate.
We contend that Architect Von Oesen also admitted that air-conditioning units could be in-
stalled in that portion of the County Court House which is now without air-conditioning
units at a cost of approximately $20,500.
We contend that in view of the admissions made by Mr. Von Oesen to your Board, it is not
necessary for the County to .spend $84,000 or more, for the purpose of changing the present
heating system and installing air conditioning in that portion of the Court House which
does not have air conditioning. We would at this time direct your attention to the fact
the County Auditor's office, the Register of Deeds office, the Clerk of the Court's office
are now being served by air conditioning units and that the remaining portions of the
Court House can be served satisfactorily by the installation of air conditioning units at
an approximate cost of $20,500 or less.
For the reasons stated above, we respectfully file this letter with your Soard at this
time as our protest against the Bond Order passed by you at your last meeting. This pro-
test is filed under 5ection 153-87 of the County Finance Act and is submitted for your
consideration with the request that your Board withhold further action ori the Bond Order
until May 21, 1960, 30 days from the date the Bond Order was published. This will afford
your petitioners sufficient time to file a petition with your Clerk demanding that the
Bond Order be submitted to the voters as is permitted by Section 253-91 of the County Fin-
ance Act."

that they did not have any money in their treasury. The Executive Secretary expl'ained
that he had been requested to place these lights expenditure out of the Building-Repairs

INSOLVENT TAXES -
Mr. Williams observed that he would like to discuss the Countyls revenues since
he brought up the subject the first time about the collection of personal property tax
which is a part of the income. He offered a motion that the Tax Collector be instructed
to use every legal means at his command in the collection of personal property taxes and
that no name appear on the insolvent list unless everylegal effort at collection has been
made. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and after some discussion of the practical applica-
tion of the law in the collection of the small items, a vote was taken in which Mr. Braak
and Mr. Williams uoted in favor of the motion and Mr. Broadhurst voted against the motion.

would be foreced to cast his vote in the negative which nullified the motion as Commissioner
Hoiton was absent. The Chairman, therefore, ruled the motion lost.

BOND ISSUE-COURT HOUSE REPAIRS
The Executive Secretary informed the Board that subsequent to the approval of e'
the Resolution at the last meeting authorizing the issuance of $ti4,000 in CourtHouse Bonds
to renovate the electrical and heating system and install air conditioning in the County
Court House, the following announcement was made by the County Attorney quoting our Bond
Attorneys Reed, Hoyt, Washburn and McCarthy, " I can find no escape from the conclusions
which I expressed to you over the te2ephone last week. Certainly, under the decisions of
your Supreme Court, the bonds issued by the County during the fiscal year beginning July ? .
1, 1958 count against any payment of other bonds in determining the "debt retirement" for
the purposes of Section 4 of Article 5 of the North Carolina Constitution. This means,
of course, that there was no reduction in the County's debt which would permit the issuance
of bonds without the approval of the voters. Will the County accomplish an adequate debt
reduction during the fiscal year ending June 30, 19601 It is suggested that the County
might refund $84,000 of bonds payable during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1960 so as
to permit an appropriation to be made in the budget for the fiscai year adequate to finance
the proposed improvements to the County Court House, The necessary refunding bonds could
be..issued without approval of the voters." After some discussion of the possibilities;
the Board,by common consent,aoreed that no bonds would be issued at this time.
APPROPRIATION - AZAL£A FESTIVAL
'I'he Executive Secretary explained that Robert A. Little, president of 1960
A2alea Festival Committee,had requested an additionai payment of 050.00 in order to fulfill ?,,;:?,vA
the commitment made on February lst promising the same allotment out of the Advertising '
Fund that was made to the 1959 Azalea Festival Committee. Mr. Holton explained that at
the time the original appropriation of $2,050.00 was made the Auditor had overlooked one
of the invoices which made the total appropriation of 1959 $2,592.50 instead of $2,050.00 -
leaving a shortage of approximately $550.00 and they were only asking the same amount. 'fhe
minutes of February lst indicated that it was the intent of the Board to a.llocate the same
amount as in 1959. The County Auditor advised that the Advertising Fund only had $167.33
left in it and since there is a statutory limitation of $10,000.00 placed on this appro-
priation, only that amount could be used. Mr. Holton then offered a motion that $3E32.67'
be appropriated from Unanticipated Interests to the Advertising Fund. It was seconded by
Mr. Broadhurst. Before the motion was put, Mr. Williams offered a substitute motion that
the matter be taken under advisement. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and when the question
was called, Messrs. J:5raak and Williams supported the substitute motion, Messrs. Broadhurst,
