Sub-stations Will Be Built Here
_ end at Snow Hill; Construc
tion of Office BtiiMing
Also Under Consideration
In his report last Saturday at the
annual meeting of the. Pitt and
Greene Electric Membership Corpora
tion, President S. L. Dilda sum
marized some of the difficulties the
corporation has hurdled in recent
months but outlined plans for projects
which indicate that brighter days are
'ahead for the mutually-owned cor
poration which serves more than 2600
rural families in this section with
■electricity and is in the process of ac
quiring the Hardy line which will in
crease its membership by more than
700 members.
The first of the major troubles
arose two years ago when the main
engine at the Farmville power plant
suffered a casualty which forced the
town to sharply curtain the amount
of electricity'ithad been feeding into
Pitt-Greene lines.
Difficulty in obtaining power has
been experienced since that time.
Even now, President Dilda reported,
electricity is being fed backward into
the KEA’s network of lines at no less
than eight . points in the system.
Dqring the past year, the force
constructed service to 115 new custo
mers.
The REA is depending on the Caro
lina Power and Light Company as its
major source of electricity in the im
mediate months that lie ahead. The
company is erecting a transmission
now to Farmville. This is scheduled
to be completed in the next few
months.
The REA must establish facilities
for'taking this power from the com
pany’s lines and piping it to its mem
bers. This will require the erection
of a large sub-station here and ano
ther one near Snow Hill. 12 miles of
heavy transmission lines must be
built to connect these stations. In
addition, all the main lines must be
converted to a much greater carrying
capacity. '
Plans are also being drawn for the
construction of a headquarters build
ing to provide adequate space for
offices, other activities and storage.
It is hoped that this work will be
undertaken within the next few
months. The structure will be situ
ated on the western edge of Farm
ville, adjacent to the DAR chapter
house on a lot purchased from Miss
Tabitha DeVisconti.
President Dilda reminded the mem
bers that-all of these things cannot
be accomplished in a few months.
Materials, some of it on a quota basis
and hard to obtain, are on order. <
The organization met all of its
obligations, principal and interest,
due the. RE A during the past year.
These were made on time.
President Dilda stated that operat
ing costs have been increased hut
rates have not been raised.

90-cent Tax
Meeting in session on Thursday
night of last week, the Pitt County
Board, of Commissioners adopted a
budget calling for expenditure* of
$960,779.59, as against $881,871.40
for the year ending June 80, but man
aged to keep the county-wide tax rate
at 90 cents in view of higher proper
ty valuations and added income suf
ficient to off-set the increased au
thorized departments.
The budget, published on page fcur
of this issue, is subject to revision
but jX is not expected that major
changes will, be'made before the
county executives finally put their
stamp of approval dn it. -
As can be seen from the compari
sons of last year's budget with the
1952-63 budget, increases were grant
ed all along the line, but the tax rate
is being held at its present level.

In the following table, amounty appropriated for various county activities
in 1951-52 are compared with amounts authorised in the new budget for the
year beginning July 1. Expenditures for the year drawing to a close were
based on a county-wile property valuation of $55,000,000. It Is ertimated
that valuations have increased by $4,000,000. bringing to $69,000,000 the

' Summer Meetings
Dr. Paul E. Jones, a charter mem
ber of the Farmville American Legion
Post and one to whom the younger
members often look to for advice and
guidance, installed the Post’s new
officers Friday night at a regular

Church street. Horton Rountree was
installed as commander, succeeding

Until last year, the Post dispensed

Three Teams Battle
> For First Place In
Bright Belt League
Farmville’s entry in the Bright Belt
League lost a golden opportunity to
tighten its hold on first place Wed*
nesday night but, despite a 5-1 loss to
Fremont, managed to hold a one-half
game lead. In other games Wednes
day, Greenville defeated Ormonds
ville while Stantonsburg defeated
Pinetops. ,
In the game with Fremont, Farm
ville collected only three hits off
Barnes. Two of those came in the
first inning and accounted for the
only run scored off him. Streeter
Tugwell lashed a single through
short, and Ralph Britt boomed a
triple to right center field. The only
other hit came in the fifth inning,
Wilkerson beat out an infield filt
Freipont, on the other hand, collected
IS''hits off Red Benton. These, cou
pled with a trio of unfortunate errors
by Mark Herring, spelled the local
team’s downfall.
In games this week end, Farmville
meets Pinetops, Greenville plays Fre
mont, and Ormondsville and Stahtans
burg tangle in an all-important series
for second place.

Jaycees Plan
Membership Drive
At a regular supper meeting of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, Wed
nesday night, at the Legion Home,
plans were laid for an extensive mem
bership drive. Joney 'Taylor and C.
W. Casper have been appointed cap
tains of the two teams which include
the entire membership of the orgahi
be radsed, and a period of confusion
will result until users become accus
tomed to the new numbers. An'ad
vantage, however, will be that num
bers once assigned may be retained
by the customer, no matter into what
section of town he or* the firm may
move.
Spivey also reports that a new
telephone directory is in the process
of being printed, but that this listing
will be obsolete almost by the time it
appears mid will be replaced by a
temporary directory.
Another major change in loeai
utilities is scheduled to take place
this fall. The Carolina Power and
Light Company has hopes of complet
ing transmission lines that will bring
power to the municipal plant and
from that point be relayed to local
users. Difficulties were experienced
in -obtaining rights-of-way over pro
perty on the "outskirts of town. These
rights-of-way have been secured and
it is expected that the work can go
forward as planned.
Budget-making'time is here for the
Town Board of Commissioners. Com
mittee members have been meeting
with department heads to outline
their spending^ program for the fis
cal year beginning July 1. No change
in the tax fate is anticipated.
Municipal employees are to be con
gratulated for the efficient and ex
tensive services rendered citizens of
the town. Opinion has been express
ed that Farmville residents get more
services for their tax money than any
other town in this section of the
state. Town property is well kept;
garbage and trash are collected
promptly; power service is depend
able; streets and sidewalks are dean,
for the ' most part, Borne* of the
vacant lots are sore spots, but the
"Commissioners / have stated that pro
perty owners will be prodded into
cleaning them; or town workmen will
do the job and property-owners will
be biUed for it
But there's no satisfying the
citizenry. Several house - keepers
called officials Wednesday and com
plained about tite dust being whipped
up by the unusually high winds that
swirled through the streets and over
the sidewalks. Wielding a dust doth
is evidently not beyond the normal
call of duty, even for public em
ployees.
A film about Dare County and the
North Carolina coast was presented
at the Kiwanis club Monday night by
Morton Rountree, who represented
the Junior Chamber of Commerce,
under whose sponsorship the film is
being shown to civic and patriotic
groups here and throughout North
Carolina.'
Special guests of the dub were
winners of medals awarded to the
high school student in each class who
had made the greatest improvement
in the year just closed. These were
Charles Greene, eleventh grade; Mack
Harris, tenth"grade; and Dude Tug
well, ninth grade. Jess Carraway,
who won the medal for the senior
class, is in Washington, D. C., and
was not present
Other guests were' Mis* Ruth
Moore, a senior at East. Carolina

two are redpiants of the fciwani*

was also a guest of the club.

Idea for the foundation was plant
ed by Dr. J. B. Frizzelle of Ayden
who said he was willing to be one of
100 Pitt countians who would con
tribute $1,000 to the fund. From this,
the idea developed, but contributions

accepted. •
The growth of East Carolina in

increasing .the scope of its service to
high school graduates, and their par
ents, in this immediate area.

giving Farmville as their address?
were enrolled in the college this year.
