Horace Hamlin, who now lives in
Clearwater, Fla., and owns a news
paper there and about half of the
town itself. Clyde Morton bought
' The Beaufort News from Osteymer
and in 1916 it was transferred a-1
gain to the late W. G. Mebane.
Shortly after he acquired the prop
erty The Beaufort News was incor
porated.

Taxpayer Who Pays
A Letter That
Makes Front Page
Editor, Beaufort Newi -Beaufort,
N. C.
Dear Sir:
A week or o ago I received my
tax bill for 1937 which had been in
creased approximately 14 per cent
over last year. About the tame time
a list of the delinquent tax payer
wa carried in the newspaper.
Can you tell me Mr. Editor, why
some of the citizen of Carteret who
do pay their tae should have to pay
increased taxes when other property
owners oav no taxes at all?. .Whose
duty is it to collect taxes, and' why
are these taxes not collected? What
efforts are being made to collect? I
am sure these are questions many of
the people of Carteret would like to
have answered and will appreciate
any information you will give us
through your paper.
It is my understanding that the
tax books are open to the public, and
I suggest that the . tax payers I
mean those who really pay look ov
er these books and see who is and
who is not paying taxes.
Will appreciate you giving this
space in your paper.
Yours very truly,
A Taxpayer who pays.
((Editor's Note: The author of
the above letter signed her name,
but requested that the signature "A
Taxpayer-"who pays' be used -as it
is more impressive. Any answers to
the above questions from the Board
of Commissioners, the County At
torney, the Sheriff or the Tax Collec
tor will be given the same space on
Page 1 as this letter in a subsequent
edition. We believe the writer of the
above letter deserves an answer of
some sort from thosu in authority in
our Carteret. A, B.)

A. Farnell Blair Bid
$67,720; Work To
Begin Soon
TO FINISH BUILDING
IN 240 WORKING DAYS
A Farnell Blair of Lake
Charles, Louisiana, was the
low bidder for the construction
of the new Beaufort postoffice
and federal building, accord
ing to information furnished
Congressman Graham A. Bar
den by the Procurement Divi
sion in Washington where the
bids were opened on Tuesday,
October 19, at 1 P. M. This
firm's bid for construction was
$67,720, and it is understood
that actual work will begin
within 30 days.
Plans for the new building have
been in Beaufort for several weeks.
They are in possession of Wiley Tay
lor ( postmaster and custodian of the
postoffice site.) The plans reveal a
structure of outstanding beauty, be
ing of semi-Colonel design to con
form with the architecture most pre
valent in this historic coastal town.
Not only will it be one of the most el
aborate postoffices along the North
Carolina coast, but it will also have
rooms where other agencies of the
Federal government will be housed.
When someone stated on Wednes-
day that ?67,720, the amount bid for
construction did not sound like the
appropriation of $t1"' "0 which was
secured by Representative Graham A.
Barden for the building, a quick re
sponce was given by those who are
familiar with the matter. Out of
the orginal $119,000 came the cost
of the site at the southwest corner
of Front and. Pollock streets, which
reduced the amount to almost $100,
000, after various surveys had been
made and the area was paid for,
There are certain engineering costs
which were not included in the bid

Self Tuning Radios
Are Displayed Here
One of the most remarkable ra
dios ever displayed in Beaufort is
the RCA Victor cabinet model nfc
Carteret Hardware Company. It is
well worth a trip to the store just to
see how this latest creation in a rad
io operates. By simply pressing a
button you tune in WPTF, WJZ or
any station you prefer without turn
ing a knob by hand searching for
that station. The RCA Victor is com
pletely automatic, practical and fool
proof. While that is the most out
standing feature of the set, there are
other unusual features such as a
magic brain unit, a magic eye, super-sensitive
loud speaker and a
wide frequency coverage.
RCA Victor has always been con
sidered a leader in the radio field. It
was not until recently that thej
were offered for sale in Beaufort.
While the electric tuning set is one
that is worth a trip to Carteret
Hardware to see operate, this firm
has a number of lower priced mod
els on display.
