Brunswick Refuses Ferry Plan as Talks Continue with New Hanover
Brunswick County rejects the New Hanover proposal for joint ferry operations on a two county basis. A Brunswick counter offer would use 1913 or 1915 acts to transfer property or fund a bridge, but New Hanover chairmen insist most ferry property lies in Brunswick and seek an equitable shared expense. The joint committee will persist in negotiations aiming to a workable acquisition and operation framework between the counties.
