Mr. Emmett Bellamy, "Uorney for the Town of Carolina Be~ch, along

cussed at length the legal aspects of such an appointment and the
~ttorney General's interpretation of the laws on this n~tter. The
Health Officer read a letter from Hr. ',Jm. B. Campbell, City rittorney,
dated February 12, 1946, discussing this same subject and saying that
in his opinion it is mandatory that the Hoard of Health appoint a
County-wide plwnbinc; inspector. The members of the Board were of the
opinion that this was a matter to be settled wuong the lawyers and
suggested that Mr. Bellamy have a meeting with Ilr. Campbell, City
Attorney, and Mr. Varsden Bellamy, County Attorney in an effort to
try to arrive at a settlement agreeable to all. This Mr. Bellamy
agreed to do. It was further suggested that if it were impossible
for the said attorneys to reach a settlelOOnt it might become necessary
for the Beach authorities to enter a friendly suit and obtain a court
ruUng.
