DOMESTIC RELATIONS
COURT MAY BE SET
UP BY COMMISSIONERS

The possibility of setting up a
domestic relations court IN New
Hanover county may come up for
consideration today when the coun-
ty commissioners and city coun-
Gil members get together to WORK
out details in sharing expenses
during the 1947-48 fiscal year IN
the operations Of various depart
ments.
Although principal matters to be
taken up at 10 a. m. IL the city
hall consist of appropriations for
the James Walker Memorial and
Community hospitals and the As
! ISOLATED Charities, the court pro
posal also may be considered.
A proposed budget for the court
already has been presented the
commissioners. It calls for SIS, 439
expenditures and goes on the as
sumption that the welfare depart
ment would be included as a unit
of the court. The proposed budget
estimates that about 500 weekly
would be collected through the
court.
Today's meeting is a continu-
ance of a session held a week age
when a recess was declared to
allow an audit OF records at the
Walker hospital. That hospital had
sought an $83, 900 appropriation,
nearly twice the amount asked a
year ago.

In the meantime, Mayor E. L.

what cost, if any, the state would

SHRIMPER
ADDED TO FLEET
Rose Marie 65-Foot Craft,
Arrives At Southport
From New Jersey
Special To The Star

oPSCA0x Az AZ ~
SOUTHPORT July l6-The Maud
and Mable, first diesel powered
shrimp trawler that ever operated
at Southport, now has a successor
in the Rose Marie, a 6%5-footer,
built on the lines Of the Banks
trawlers and as hardy as seagoing
boats get to be. She arrived last
week from New Jersey and is now
fishing.
The Maud and Mable was brought
here by Captain Barley Tomlin,
ten or more years ago. A big boat,
she could take it and when the
war broke out the navy took her.
Captain Tomlin also went into the
navy but he got separated from
mis- boat and never caught up with
her again. The end of the wal
found him back at Southport and
fishing without a boat. Several
months ago he went north and had
the Rose Marie built.
Of equal size with the Rose
Marie, the Penny, built in St.
Augustine, Fla, for Captain Mer-
rift Moore, has rounded out her
first ten days of fishing. Both Of
these two new additions to the
fleet have captains who are rated
as being the saltiest on the coast
and it takes weather to keep their
craft tied to the docks.
With several of the boatmen in
tervieWed, it appears from their
replies that Southport nov has the
most powerful fleet OF shrimp
irawlers that are to be found at
any one point north Of Florida.
Perhaps east of Louisiana. This is
not in the number Of the boats,
but in their size and the power
down below.
Some of the present big boats
take up docking space that would
easily have Accommodated about
four of the shrimp boats Of a dozen
years ago. Incidently they are
beginning to equip them with ship
to shore phones, bathometers,
range finders, etc. Captain Tom
Inns new boat has such accesso-
ries. Captain Clarence Simmons,
skipper of the Mary Clark which
was lost in a storm at Hatteras
last winter, arrived Friday with
an 80-foot trawler that also has
ship to shore phones, etc.

a $15,OOO,000 trust fund created
by the will of the late Mrs.
Bertha L. Cone.
A statement issued by the
committees said:
"After obtaining the advice of
the University Executive COM
mittee, the two committees
have concluded that it is i'm
possible to work out a plan Of
merger which will enable both
institutions to perform their re-
spective functions and, at the
same time, comply with the linn
iations and mandates imposed
on them by the terms of the
Cone trust on the one hand, and
the fundamental policy of a
state educational institution on
the other"
The statement pointed out
that the Cone trustees are re-
quired to found a HOSPITAL pri-
marily for the benefit OF citizens
of Guilford county and that a
violation of the trust require
ments could result in forfeiture
of the entire trust in favor of
certain other beneficiaries.
State Position
On the other hand, the state
ment continued, public funds
could not be used in the con-
struction of buildings on land
not owned by the state, the
training hospital of medical
school must be 'under the con-
troll and management of the
medical school," and such a
hospital 'would be compelled
necess; rily to make its hospit-
alization facilities available to
any citizens of the state"
The 1947 Generl Assembly
appropriated SO, 1000 for ex-
panding the University's two
year medical school into a four
year school and for building a
teaching hospital at Chapel Hill.
