Military see report Page 8< delegation asks no Wake change a delegation of Small boat owners today asked the Beaufort county Board of commissioners to Amend the no Wake regulations at Broad Creek. Attorney Leroy Scott represented approximately a dozen citizens including several fishermen in voicing opposition to the no Wake Law which covers much of Broad Creek. He contended that it hampers boaters going above the Washington yacht and country club and asked that a corridor be established for going in and out the Creek on the other hand j. D. Mccotter operator of my Cotter a Marina pointed out the value of a Wake Law. He said it protects yachts from the Wash of Waves which frequently cause damages to the expensive crafts kept Here by up state and recount ends volunteers who have a it Een assisting the City take a census recount Are urged to get their census forms in As soon As possible. A spokesman said today that the forms should be turned into the team Captain who passed it out a or failing in that to the City Hall. Questions should be directed to Tom Boyd president of the Washington Jaycees who have coordinated the project or Earl Bonner City Engineer who has been looking after the administrative end of the project.

The need for a no Wake regulation was also pointed out in a letter from Aubrey Moore Dock master at the country club. Moore contended that the no Wake regulations Means a slowdown of less than five minutes getting in and out of the Creek. Noting that the com missioners were interested in taking the action that would satisfy citizens in the area the Board suggested that interested parties seek to work out a Compromise solution allowing use of the North Side of the Creek As a corridor getting in and out of the Creek however there was some question As to whether or not such a plan would be practical because of the Width of the Creek in the area of the country club. The new complaint was one in a series which have come before the commissioners since the no Wake regulations were adopted Quot several years ago one amendment was made no longer than a year ago. One criticism raised was that wildlife officials who enforce the Laws have too much discretion. Another was the disputed Contention that Small boats Are More frequently charged than larger ones. In other actions the Board a heard a request rom the Washington City schools for restoration of proposed cuts in the 1970-71 budget in the amount of 516,000 in current expense to prevent a cutback in school programs.
