FACE EIGHT MORE ABOUT COUNTY BUDGET (Continued from :aee 1) u , j 11 it- not contested or disapproved by the public, he said that he was right in making the statement in sofar as the County Board was concerned. That, one would assume, meant that the budget was officially adopted by the County Board at the August meeting. As a matter of fact, Clerk Davis told this newspaper's Editor, there was no formal resolution during the Au gust meeting, indicating the tenta tive budget was approved insofar as the County Commissioners are concerned. One would naturally assume tha: sueh a Resolution would have to" lV presented with the Budget when it was presented to the Local Government Commission. Pr. Bonner stated that he un derstood Commissioner Davis and MeCabc and serhaps Commission er Tildon Davis of Barkers Island would go to Raleigh early next n-i.tJ.- tr wins ult with Mr. Johnson of the I.GC relative to the Budget's adaption. Some Of Changes Some of the changes or increases made in the original budget (ac cording to Chairman Bonner's fig ures) follow: Salary of chairman ijuuit) and per diem salaries of Commissioners $400 combined to tal Si.OOO increased to Sl.oOO. There is also $200 included in the Crn. ral County Expense for in vest -.rating property valuations, whii h is used for mileage, etc. An othe increase in the tentative Bu';.:et was an allowance of $120 per month for a period of three mor. :hs to be used by the Tax Col lector's office for the employment of 1. 1 assistant whose duties it will he to visit or make a person to pcr.-on tax collection tour. This mon-y can perhaps be well spent, if the" right man gets the job. (If i person is a good collector they should be paid more salary than U20 per month Ed Note). Assistants in the Register of Deeds office will be granted S3 monthly increases, which will be ,11 par with other Courthouse of Ve clerks. Under Agricultural '.id Economic Development, "Mis llaneous" was stricken nit and is saving amounts to $."0 for the t-Sudget. Under Recorder's Court, ;.!-.e salary of Judge was increased .0111 $1,500 to $l,G20 and that of olieitor was increased from ifi'OO o Si'dO per year. Chairman Bonner contends that vith the creation of the Tublic iealth Department in Carteret for vhich funds totaling $7,225 was listed in the Tentative Budget Es timate, that it would be unlawful u allot funds for a County Thy iician. It was stated in the Reg ister of Deeds office on Tuesday that the Board Chairman declares he lias a ruling from the Attorney General to this effect. At the same time it was stated by parties in the same office that the County I'hy sieinn has said that he has a rrlint which indicates it is lawful to have a Health Department and a Coun y Phyician. It all so'inds rf.iT: . mixed up. nd the only interest The I'eaufoit Yvs bis is to fully inVrm the uMic r;l."tive to something (in his e;e The Bmlarct) whkh is a iv.r.'Ti tlieir busmen 10 mw oui it is for the County Board whom 1 the majority of voters placed in ff;ce juggle, disrusa. take awav .'rem or add to after same ha '.ecu drawn up by the Auditor. The summary of the General Kund as it stands in the re-arrang-d, but yet to be adopted through (solution by the board and yet to ' e approved by the Local Govern ment Commission follows: General Fund General County Expense $4, 500; Tax Listing and Assessing, $6,525; Tax Collector's Office, $5, 75; County Sheriffs Office, $3, 200; Election - General, $1,700; County Accountant's Office, $3, fiOO; Courthouse and Grounds, $4, 300; County Coroner, $3fi0;Coun. tv Jail, $3,000; County Home and arm, $5,100; Agricultural and Economic Development, $2,6 16; Tounty Health, $1,000; Superior Court, $2,835; Clerk of Sunerior Court, $3,700; Recorder's Court, .3.030; Juvenile Court, $125; TOTAL, $55,071. Department of Public Health and Welfare: County Health De partment, $8,225; Welfare De partment, $18,672.50. County Board of Education $30, 310.00 and Debt Service $90,000. Estimated Revenue The total estimated revenue from taxes for 1941-32 is $161, 000; Privilege Taxes, $2,000; Reg ister of Deeds, $2,500; Clerk's Of fice, $4,500 and from ABC Stores, $10,000. The total estimated rev enue for the fiscal year is $180, 000 less $80,000 for sinking fund "nuiremenls of Debt Service. This leaves $100,000 for the net estimated revenue for Carteret County operations during 1941 42, plus $3,000 for Special State id for Health Department. .The total thus goes to $103,000. Requirements of County Bud get: County Fund, $53,721; Wel fare end Health, $25,897 and School Fund, $30,310.67. Total $109,929.

Somewhere between the island I had to run my watch up to Day Light Saving Time so it was about noon when we finally arrived in Atlantic. It took almost another hour to come on down to Beau fort over the roads which are un der construction. I HAD been in town less than 1 hour when I ran into Dick Rey nolds who was going over to the airport with his pilot and three friends whom he was taking back to Ocracoke Island. Dick invited me to make the trip back down to the island. When he insisted and tolj me that he would have me back in Beaufort within one hour I shoved off. So perhaps I am the first person (excepting Dave Dris kill) wdio has ever left Ocracoke Island twice in the same day. IX THE BIG semi-transport plane which we made the trip in it took only 16 minutes from Beau fort to Ocracoke. It took about 23 minutes for the return trip andf at five minutes to three we were back in Beaufort. A 55-minut trip and we stayed on the island for about 15 minutes greeting var ious people. There on the beach near the place where Pilot McGin 11 is set down the big 3-motored plane was a beautiful Fairchild in which Mr. & Mrs. Brian Aherne had just flown down to the island aboard. Mrs. Aherne on the screen is Joan Fontaine. Also on the beach was the plane of the Ocra coke Transportation Taxi plane whk'h Dave Driskill operates as an air taxi along the Outer Banks from Manteo via Cape Hatteras and to Beaufort. ON MONDAY NIGHT I made a sort of talk to the newly formed Ocracoke Island Chamber of Com merce. The new organization they have formed down there is a dis tinct organization from the Hyde County Chamber of Commerce. The people forming -the Island commerce group are real thinkers and I was impressed with the way they carried on their meeting. With the objectives they have, Oc- laeoke Island snould be able to get many of the improvements that have sought for many years. THE CHAMBER of commerce meeting was held in the theatre. The Ocracoke Theatre is part of Wahah Village Hotel. Both the theatre and the hotel are equal to any , you can find in any coastal city "or town. Stanley Wahah i.i responsible for these improve ments. He is an Ocracoker who likes to tell people that his original ancestor on the island was one Ahab Wahab, a shipwrecked Aarb- j ian sailor. Stanley Wahab is an; Ocrac:ki-r who went away f rom j the !Unvl, made a success in life, 1 and then began sharing his success with the folks beck home.

The Inns and Hotels of Ocracoke are experiencing very good busi ness at this time. There are many summer visitors on the island and much credit is given by the. jsland ers for this increase in patronage to the Ocracoke Edition of The Beaufort News which came out two weeks ago. SPEAKING OF THAT special edition it was a sell out. The regular price of The Beaufort News is 5 cents per copy. I have had so many inquiries and orders for copies, however, I am perfect ly willing to pay 10 cents per copy for about 50, on condition both sections are intact and if deliver ed at my office in Beautort in good condition. The very idea of an editor having to pay double for a copy of the paper he edits. But I will do it and you can start bringing in copies of that Special I Edition as soon as you read this paragraph.

An old fasioned picnic din ner will follow the speaking, after which the Governor will go to Hat teras Village, and from there the following morning will be taken to the Gullf Stream for fishing. Maurice Burrus, of Hatteras, president of te Association, is busy with plans for the celebra tion. On the Sunday before, Gov ernor Broughton will appear on the stage with George Gordon Battle, distinguished New York Attorney, who will speak at the dedication ceremonies for Fessenden Memor ial Park on Roanoke Island, hon oring the inventor of the wireless telephone. to the juggling referred to pre viously) making a total of $9,-179.17. MORE ABOUT LANDING FIELD (Continued from page ) to see the site selected by Dris kill. He would have charge of the construction of the facilities at At lantic. Very little work will have to be done to provide the facilities in the opinion of Driskill. A few scrubby bushes will have to be cut and a small amount of grading or filling in of rough spots will create the field. Chief Pilot Driskill of Ocracoke Transportation Company's Avi ation Division and Aycock Brown of the Carteret Aviation Commis sion and secretary of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce have been considering the construction 01 a field for landing planes at Atlan tic or some community in that area for several months. Fre quently in the past Driskill's taxi plane (a big red Stinson) has been on Ocracoke Island where persons visiting there wanting to get back to the mainland in Atlantic hur riedly, could not accomodate the passengers, because it would save little time if the parties came on to Beaufort and then had to re turn to Atlantic where their auto mobiles were stored before going to the island. The landing field in Atlantic will not cost the residents of that community anything. Neither will the land owners be paid anything for the privilege of using the prop erty. The property used will not be damaged in any way, and th landing facilities to be created will only be another modern step in a community which has always gone forward instead of back wards. Atlantic was "first in ed ucation" for many years in East Carteret County and now it is ap parent that it will be the first in aviation because the people there are progressive. COLORED "JOHN DOE" NEWS I, Elijah E. Stewart, Sr., wish to think my many white friends for their contributions in helping Mrs. Lillie (Dick) Chadwickk who lost every thing by fire. I turned in to her Saturday eve ning $17.20. I was very glad to help her that much, because I felt tat she appreciated it. Even if I lost friendship with a member of the family, because I didn't turn it over to him. "John Doe." John Doe said, "By helping his mother didn't mean a thing to him, he had too much background." So if you wish to lose friendship, help your neighbor. 1 Highest Quality Foods plus Lowest Fossible Prices Spells Greatest Values LAND O' LAKES DAISY ' I Cheese SMOKED Picnics Fat Back Rib Meat SALAD TREAT Mayonnaise COLONIAL Succotash SOUTHERN MANOR Sweet Peas COLONIAL Grape Juice Bananas Green Apples TENDER SKINLESS Franks lb.

The camp will include five or six miles of railroad at the start and there may be more later. The At lantic and East Carolina railroad is to build a railroad to the camp property line, which is about one mile. No bridges will be required. One 8-inch well has been drille I to supplv water, and there will be about 27 more four to six-inch wells, said Commandre Nice. They are being built for exploration 'work, preliminary to the location of the camp's permanent water supply, but they will be used dur ing the construction and later will JVl, us fire wells, wells for pump equipment, for Uie sprinkling of the landing fields and lawns and for other purposes.

Two mobile units of the Rural Elecui- .. .. t e:ii ion administration are ai present supplying the light and electric power for the camp.

During the construction, says Commander Nice, the public will not be permitted on the camp site under anv circumstances. The rec ords and references of every em ploye are to be investigated, an! work applications require detailed information. Nothing in the con tract will permit the employment of aliens, said Commander Nice, but every effort will be made to avoid distinction among American citizens. The employment of workers is left to the contractors, the naval commander said. It is not proposed to take men away from other em ployment, but an effort will be made to take care of every worthy unemployed person.

This 30 day notice was issued on December 2, 1940 and was ignored until June, 1941 thereby subjecting Mr. Davit to a minimum fine of $10.00 per day each day that this building was permitted to stand after expira tion of notice. "Mr. Brooks resigned in July. 1941, as building inspector and I was appointed to investigate this prcperty and to make the proper recommendations for disposal.
