Favor City
Extension
TO AID CAMPAIGN
Rsard OF Fire Under
writer's Also Endorse
Project

Bv f@c almost unanimous vote
members of the Wilmington Real
estate board and the Board of
Fire Underwriters passed yester-
dav resolution favoring full sup
mort to the campaign for extension
nf the city limits movement due
IN 90 before the voters Nov. 6.
The extension plan was submit
tod to the realtors and insurance
agents by H rgrove Bellamy,
chairman of the Citizens commit
tee for city limits extension, at a
special meeting of the two boards
Tuesday morning in the Tide Water
assembly room.
The Fire Underwriters board,
comprised of all local fire insur-
ance agents except those of the
mutual companies, unanimously
PASSED a resolution of endorse
ment. while the Real Estate
Board. to which almost all local
realtors belong, acted with the af-
firmative vote of all but one at
tending member.
The lone withheld vote was that
of Frederick Willets, promi2ent
realtor and building and loan ex-
ecutive, who, during the course of
the weekly Rotary club meeting
later in the day, endorsed exteh-
sion in a complete statement to
club members.
Virtually all members of both
organizations were present at the
joint meeting.
President Hill opened the ses-
sion and explained the purpose,
following which, he introduced
Chairman Bellamy and ]. Fred
Rippy, city administrative assist
ant and secretary to the citizens
committee.
Bellamy outlined to the group
the need for city extension, point
ing out that estimates covering the
costs of services and capital ex-
penditures had been very careful
ly tabulated, to assure the eco
nomic soundness Of the venture.
Wilmington, because it has not
recorded a population growth in
more than 80 years, has been
looked upon as an unprogressive
city and, as such, has not received
its fair share of attention and
benefits from federal, state and
business interests, Bellanhy de-
clared.
His listeners were invited to SUBJ
NIT any pertinent questions to
Rippy, who answered a number OF
queries from Real Estate and Fire
Underwriters members.
Maps showing the area to be
annexed were distributed, together
with estimates of costs and reve-
nue.
Annexation plans were described
by President Hill, in an interview
following the meeting, as being
very conservatives and every

favoring city extension.
