Church.
Nr. A1ton A. Lennon, President of the Local Bar Association appeared with approximately thirty members of
the Local Bar Association to protest the use of a 1•iicrofilm Recor3er on trial in the Register of Deeas
Office for recording documents to replace the present method of recoraing by typewriter, and further pro-
tested the schedule of sumn:er working hours £or County employes, and presented the following resolution
a3o;?te3 by the Har Association:
" A motion was made by James B. Swails that the Bar Association go on record as opposing the use
?
of a photostit machine ior the recording of papers in the Register of Deeds Office of New Hanover County,
and that all members of the Neur H_i,nover County Bar Association be constituted a s a committee to appear be-
fore the Board of Commissioners of Nea Hunover County at their meeting to be held on N,ondap, May 4) 1953,
to voice the protest of this Association against the use of a photostat machine for recording purposes in
the Register of Deeds Office of Nei•r Hanover County. " A motion was made by Solomon B. Sternberger that the New Hanover County Bar Association go on
recor3 as recommending to the fioar.d of County Commissioners o£ New Hanover County that the County Offices
and the consoliciated City-County Tax 0£fice shoul3 be open on week days between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and
'5:00 P.M,., and shoul3 be open on Saturdays between the hours o£ 9:00 A.M. and 12:00 A.N."
Attorneys .James B. Swails, Woo3us Kel.lum, Dudley Humphrey, W. B. Campbell, and Alton A. Lennon spoke
in opposition to the use of the Microfi]m Recor3er stating in part; " that the reoord is Poor, wi11 be a
step backwards, not permanent and cannot compare with'the olct system. Eye-strain, imperfect, illegible
record. EScpenses wou1.3 run high and record e:cposed to light would deteriorate rapidly, and a sked that it
be abondoned in the interest of space, economy and eye-strain, and continue the use of the present type-
writing system "
The matter o£ sw,.mer working hours £or County employes was then discussed by Attorneys Aaron Gold-
? bergj John Bright Hill, Alton A. Lennon, George Rountree, Solomon B. Sternberger} R. I. Mintz and Woodus
Ke11um, all were of the opini.on that the Register o£ lleeds, Clerk of Superior Court and Tax Of£icea should
G,,,,?? ``be hept open at least three hours on Saturdays - 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 A.I.I. for the convenience o£ the public,
_ ?+1'especially those who have no other time to attend to business in the Court House during the week 3ays with-
q?? out losing time o£f. This shoul3 be 'taken carr o£, they said' by Department Heads staggering their work-
?yr ing hours £or employes, •
The Register of Deeds stated that situation could be han3led in his office by himself and one clerk
on Satur3ays.
. The Clerk of Court said the 5=day work week proved to be good in his Department for efficiency and
__6? economy. All clerks were up on their work better.
The County Auditor said, "As to the early hours, as you 1:now, I was out of tokm all last week and
have not yet had time to observe the ef£ect of the early hours in the office. As to the 5-day week, i.t fias
definitely inereased the efficiency of the office because the eraployes have ha3 more continuous working
hours, applied themselves and moral has been higher because of the Satur3ay off. There has been some one
in the office practical.ly every Saturday, even though the doors were closed. We have ha3 no complaint from
the public."
At this point, Mr. Black, Register of Deeds, asked to show a comroittee of the Bar Association what
can be done with the Microfilming Machine. I4r. Lennon said he thought microfilming was to be use3 only to
preserve recotds, but use the o13 way for recording . '
Nir. Horton felt the photostat copy could be read equally as good as the originalj would cut the
cost of overall pro3uction by anproximately 50%. or 67¢ against $1,20 per sheet.
At the conclusion of the discussion it was agreed, upon motion bf Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. 0'Shiel3s, j
ther a sideation of the matters with
conlrhth? view s o£ 18eaching e some t satiefBo? dy n olution aof the same, f?No fur-
