LOAD LIMIT RESTRICTIONS
PLACED ON TRUCKS IN
COUNTY

The State Highway Depart
ment has announced the follow
ing temporary load limit restric-
ton in Dickinson County:
Restricted to tons: Route $40,
Route 637, Route 613 and Route
GIL
The restrictions were imposed
in an effort to prevent the roads
from breaking UP in the wake of
the current thaW which followed
a deep freeze in the ground
When the road base is softened
following a thaW, heavy loads
caues serious damage on light
duty roads, highway engineers
explained. The restrictions will
likely remain in effect until the
ground is thoroughly dried and
the soil has become compact.

being able to tell who lives at any

most any given street intersec-
ton.
In 1927, he was made city tax
collector and from this position,
moved into the job of city clerk
and treasurer in 1880. In 1881, the
job of city accountant was added
to his duties and he remained in
this capacity until 1914 when the
city manager-form of government
was voted in. Then, he got the
job of city purchasing agent in
addition to his other duties.
On April 16, he was made act
ing city manager, succeeding A. G..
Nichols, who resigned, and his job
was made permanent on July II.
1t was on this later date that he
was relieved of some of his many
duties, when the City Council
named Deems B. Padgett to be
city accountant in charge of the fl
nance department and Mrs. Mary
B. Switzerland, who was until
then Benson's assistant, was nam
ed city clerk.
In 1922, Benson was married
to the former Mary Russ of Clark
ton and unto this union was born
two daughters and one son. Both
of his daughters were graduated
from Women's College at Green's
boro. One, Mrs. R. w. Holtzclaw,
is now living in Kingsport, Tenn,
and the other, Mary Russ Benson,
is teaching at Salem College. The
son, James R., Jr., will enter State
College this fall.
Benson is a Mason, past presi-
dent of the Wilmington Lions
club, a member of SENCBA, In
formation City Managers associa-
ton, an elder at st. Andrews Gov
enant church, a member of the
Cape Fear club, and on the board
of directors of the YMCA and the
Ocean Highway association.
Directly, Benson is in charge of
some 5O4 city employees, and this
is comparable with any large cor
poration.
When asked if he had any plans
for retiring in the future, the city
manager said the retirement act
provides for retirement at the age
of so or at anytime on disability.
However, the twinkle in his eyes
indicate "Mr. City Manager" viii
be around for many more years.
