asked of the Board to pay Registration Fees, Banquet Tickets, Luncheon Ticket

Mr. Harry Berman and Mr. A. V. Saffo appeared before the Board to present a
request that a ditch in the Masonboro area, which we recently completed, be
made deeper. He said that they had paid an engineer to look at the situation
and that their engineer had said the ditch was not deep enough to drain the
area SUfficiently. Hr. Cranford reported that the State Engineer felt that it
was sufficient to do the job that we originally intended it to do and had in-
spected the area before and after the ditch was dug. Dr. Smith made the motion
that we have the State Engineer to reinspect the area on his next trip and that
we reevaluate and give Mr. Berman any consideration we can. Mayor Allsbrook
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
,.......
The question came up as to whether Mr. Bradford Tillery would remain as our
Attorney since he has resigned as County Attorney. Dr. Hooper will check with
him concerning this and if he continues as our Attorney will ask him to attend
our Board Heetings.
A letter was read from Hr. H. McC. Biddle, Plumbing Inspector, stating that .he
would like to remain as Plumbing Inspector as long as his Health permitted.
Since he has not returned to work as yet, the Board feels that some action will
have to be taken since we must have someone in this position. Dr. Smith made
a motion that with Mr. Biddle's permission, we get a report from his doctor
as to whether or not he will be able to work again and if not that we proceed
to hire a Plumbing Inspector. Dr. Wagoner, Dr. Davis and Mr. Cranford are to
investigate the Bituation and do whatever is necessary. Dr. TidIer seconded
the motion. Motion carried.
A report was given that the Plumbing Code which had been presented to the
Building Code Council had been rejected. Dr. Smith made a motion that Mr.
Cranford, Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Tillery review the Plumbing Code status and make
recommendations to this Board as soon as possible. Also, that we stick as close
to the State Code as is possible. Dr. Wagoner seconded the motion. Hot ion
carried.

Hr. Cranford asked that Clifton N. Dixon, Sanitarian lis, salary be increased at
this time to $435.00 per month beginning with April. Dr. Smith made the motion
that since we had available funds this be put into effect. Dr. Knox seconded
the motion. Hotion carried. (Dr. Hooper voted "No").
