Deadlock Stymies
Hospital Town
Financial Controversy
Delays Purchase of
East Wing of Hospiial
A complete deadlock was the
result of a special meeting Ffi
day afternoon in the Morehead
City municipal building where
town commissioners met to ar
range for the purchase of the east
wing of Morehead City hospital.
Financial difficulty was the
cause of the deadlock. The Fed
eral Works Agency has offered
to sell the wing to the city for
$17,500. In order for the sale
to go through, the hospital must
pay the FWA $3,273.00 it owes
as 51 per cent of net profits from
the operation of the wing over a
period of time.
A. B. Roberts, chairman of the
hospital board, appeared at the
meeting and admitted that the
hospital owed the money to the
FWA but stated that it had no
money and was operating in the
red. He said the only funds the j
hospital had were $23,000 set '
aside for the purchase of an ele
vator.
Mr. Roberts suggested that the
only possible way for the hospital
to get the money to pay the FWA
was for the town to pay a debt
of approximately $4,500 that it
owes ihe hospital. The commis
sioners postponed action on the I
suggestion.
"The hospital board chairman |
stated that the rea^n the hospital i
was in such bad shape wai that
it had many bad debts owinf it i
and that it handled a large num
ber of charity cases. He dis- 1
closed that bad debts totaled over j
$7,000 last year with only $1,600 i
of that amount owed by residents
of Morehead City who pay taxes I
to support the hospital.
The remainder of more than
$5,400 is owed by residents of
Newport, Beaufort, and other
parts of the county, Mr. Roberts
said. He added also that the
hospital's room rates were lower
than average and the hospital lost
money on every patient admitted.
In effort to clear up the sit
uation, a special joint session of
the commissioners and the hospit
al board was called by Mayor
George W. Dill, Jr., and Board
Chairman Roberts for Friday night
at 7:30 the hospital.
At that time it is hoped that
arrangements can be made for the
FWA debt to be paid, clearing the
way for the city to purchase the j
hospital east wing.

light and hit dogs were only good
at smelling scents that were less
than ffivr hours old.
As expected, no true scent was
found. Police and a State Bureau
of Investigation agent stated that
evidently the thief was exper
ienced in his work. He cut the
house screen door, unhooked the
door and did a quick job of steal
ing the money.
Law enforcement officers em
phasized that the crime of entering
a house after dark is a capital
offense, first degree buglary, and
is punishable by death. They also
stated that any householder has
the legal right to shoot anyone
caught In their home under such
circumstances.

lie said they may not he able to
I complete tr.e project in the next
- year, but th?-y should "at least put
in the windows and we'll get the
' curtains later."
The state's chief executive re
commended strongly that the
hoMtd establish a policy on the
state boats as to by whom they
should be used and when. He
The Tryon palace committee
yesterday authorized the spend
ing of the $150,000, authorized
by the state legislature, for the
| purchase of Tryon palace pro
perty, New Bern.
[ stated that parties on the boats
in the past "have been anything
but a credit to the state of North |
Carolina." <
lie remarked that the use the'
'boats have been put to heretofore i
is not a "credit or discredit to'
those immediately in charge" but!
rather due to the fact that the
board has not esablished a policy!
on how they should be used.
The governor suggested to the I
board that they reorganize their J
committees, shilling membership |
where feasible in order to intro
duce different viewpoints on var
ious matters. He stated that more
uniform action would be achieved
if committees wouid report their
individual projects to the board
as a whole rather than go their
.separate ways in carrying out their I
| programs.
Ne*t on the governor's "how
about changing it?" list was the
recommendation that the commer

vision of Purchase and Contract.
The governor added, "or at least
inform the state division of the
I procedures."
[ The governor wound up with

paign which has state employees
I shaking in their boots: cut out
i excess expenditures and stop so
i called petty grafting.
i Mr. Scott pointed out that the
I legislature has appropriated $o

practices tolerated during the war
| must be stopped.
He cited instances of waste and
inefficiency in prison caifips and

! "that will make North Carolina

ed in Carteret county, is jterving a 1
16 to 17 year sentence (or a safe
robbery In Surry county Prison
camp authorities came to Beaufort !
and tonic Oglesby into custody at
7:30 Friday morning.
Events leading to the arrest of
Oglesby constitute a long story.
Cora'able Krouse reported it as i
follows: George Deans, a Vets Cab j
company taxi driver, Morehead
City, telephoned Constable Krouse
at the Carolina Race Track at 11
o'clock Thursday night to inform
the constable that I man at the
Kennel club, acroaa the highway
from the track, ordered a cab from
Morehead City. When the cab got
there, the man who ordered it re
fused to pay for or ride in it.
The officer turned up and the
man who ordered the cab came
acroaa with the $1.90. and then de
cided he would go into town in it.
Conatable Krouse said he didn't
like the looks of the guy so he got
in the back seat of the' eab and
rode into town wbart the cab di*
charged its passenger in Front of ?
the Fort Macon hotel.
The constable then returned to '
the race track where two men
(whom he couldn't identify), told
him their car had been broken
into while parked at the track and
a fishin.; pole and a new hat
stolen. The thief left an old hat.
Mr. Krouse recalled that the
man who called the cab from the
Kennel club had a package and he
thought he saw a fishing rod stick
ing out of the bundle. So he and
the two men visited the night spots
along highway 70, the Fort Macon
hotel and finally the Jefferson
where tney learned a J. D. Moore
registered shortly after 11 o'clock.
The night cleric rar.g the phone
in Moore's room, but there was no
unswor. Then Mr. Krouse, with a
pass key. opened the door, the
latch chain was across the opening,
but the officer reached in, switch
ed on the light. The man was
sleeping, but the other two looked |
in and saw that the fishing pole i
was theirs.
Constable Krouse then got a
warrant for Moore's arrest, charg
ing him with larceny, and also
picked up Morehead City police- 1

State Speeds
Action od Ports
Treasurer Sets Aug. 9
For Opening Bond Anli- I
cipalion Note Bids
Another step has been taken to
speed the State's $7,500,000 ports
development program.
State Treasurer Brandon Hodges
and Attorney General Harry Mc
Mullan worked out arrangements
with William Henry Hoyt, Wash
ington bonds attorney, to have the
bond issue put on the market Tues
day, Aug. 9. Hoyt, a member of
the firm of Reid and Hoyt of New
York and Washington, is approving
attorney for the roads.
Bids will be opened in the State
Treasurer's office at 10 a. m. on
that day.
Hodges said the Slate would is
sue "bond anticipation notes" ra
ther than the bonds themselves.
State law requires that the port
bonds must be issued or a liability
for them incurred before the $200,
000,000 road bond issue is put on
the market. If the road bonds were
issued first, then the ports bonds
would have to be voted on in a
State refehendum. McMullan point
ed out tliat bonds can't be issued
for more than two-thirds of the
debt retired in the preceding bien
nium except by a vote of the peo
ple.
At present the ports bonds come
within the limit. They would not,
however, if the road bond issue and
$25,000,000 school bond issue were
sold first.
Since I he ports bonds money ac
tually is not needed now, the State
by i. uing "bond anticipation
notes can meet the deadline with
out obligating itself to paying bond
interest rates.
Bond anticipation notes, McMul
lan explained, can be made for
short terms and can be recalled
and paid on short notice. The in
j teres! rate as a result is very low,
he said. The purpose of the confer
ence with Hoyt was to clear de
tails for issuing the notes imme
diately. Later, when the bonds
themselves arc issued, the notes
will be paid off with the bonds
| through a broker's arrangement.

Barden Applauds
Railroad Proposal
A House committee's decision to
authorize the building of a spur
railroad line between two military
bases in North Carolina was hailed
Friday by Representative Graham
Harden (Democrat. North Caroli
na) as "a fine investment."
The armed services committee
voted unanimously to permit the
navy to spend $3,000,000 for the
line to .un between Cherry Point,
N. C., and Camp Lejeune, marine
corps bases.
The item will be included in the j
multi-million dollar military con-j
struction bill which will go to the.
House for action this week.
The line, Mr. Barden said, will j
become part of the state-owned
Atlantic and Eastern Carolina rail- !
road and the construction cost will
be amortized over 15 years.
The lire will be about 25 miles |
long. Its use will make it possible j
to save 9<) miles of travel and eight |
hours of travel time. Traffic from
the north no longer will have to u<? j
by way of Wilmington and Golds ,
boro to reach the bases which will i
be tied together.
The committee Friday approved
a $(>13,815,682 bill for military con 1
struct ion to improve domestic aiKl |
foreign bases. The authorization
bill docs not provide the actual
money.
The measure calls for expendi- !
tures of more than $17,000,000 in I
North Carolina and an item of
$528,000 for living quarters at Ft.
Jackson, S. C.
The North Carolina projects:
