SIXTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1951 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Two Prisoners Escape from Newport Road Gang Newport Town Commissioners Ban Carnivals Beaufort Undertakes New Method on i Referendum The planning board informed the town board Monday night that George Franklin, counsel for the League of Municipalities, has ad vised them that the only lesal way to annex additional areas is to ad vertise for four successive weeks to the effect that the annexation is under consideration. Then, Franklin stated, the town board must hold a public hearing. If 15 per cent of the property-own ers in the areas under considera tion for annexation request a ref erendum, then a referendum must be held. The 15 per cent petition ing must have voted in the last gubernatorial election. According to information from Braxton Adair, planning board member, the referendum requires special registration. Those who may register must be 21 and a le gal resident of (he areas proposed for annexation. They need not be property-owners. If 15 per cent of the residents in those areas do not petition for a referendum at the public hear ing, the town board can proceed to annex the area without request ing the county board of elections to hold a referendum. At a special meeting of the town board Feb. 27, the commis sioners approved a proposal to hold a referendum, by-passing the advertising and public hearing re quirements. It was the under standing at that time that such action was all that was necessary to put the matter before the people.

BASH Committee Postpones Bridge Benefit One Week The Beaufort Armed Services Hospitality committee bridge ben efit, originally scheduled for Tues day night at the Legion hut In Beaufort, has been postponed un til Tuesday night. March 20, at 7:45. The change was necessary due to a conflicting Elks Club Bridge party Tuesday night. After a lengthy debate, marked by threats from the Newport fire department delegation and efforts on the part of the town board to keep everybody happy, the New port eommissioners passed a resolution Tuesday night banning carnivals from the town. The request to allow a carnival to make a one-week stand at New port was made by the Newport fire department. Spokesman for the delegation was Bill Dugee. Dugee stated that the carnival under consideration would come to Newport and guarantee the fire department $300 plus 20 per cent of the gate receipts, 15 per cent of the take at the side shows and rides, and $5 on each concession. Firemen claimed they needed the money to send some of their number to a firemen's school and said they simply wanted some mon ey of their own. Former Fire Chief Benny Gar ner reported that at the firemen's meeting Monday night eight vot ed to have the carnival come in and five voted against it. The remaining members of the fire de partment, about 12, were absent. Garner also informed his fellow firemen that in the past the town has always met the expenses of sending representatives to the fire men's school. Free Lot Dugee told the town board that Carlisle Bell had offered his lot (or the carnival free of charge. Town commissioners objected to the carnival on the basis that mer chants in town were opposed. They said in previous years a watchman had to be hired to guard stores at night, that carnival people who went into the stores to buy always walked out with more than what they paid for. and commissioners further reminded the firemen1 that there was no water on the lot where the carnival would be set up, neither would there be proper san itation facilities. Dugee stated that the people ob ject to carnivals, but they never support anything else that the (ire debarment attempts to sponsor, such as dances. "If you ask anyone of those mer chants to give you a donation or buy a ticket, they won't do it," he declared, "but they don't want us to make money with a carnival either." Garner disagreed with Dugee, pointing out that at Christmas time, the merchants contributed to the firemen's Chtjstmas party. Mayor Aaron Craig comment cd that he wanted the majority of the people in town to be satisfied. Commissioner M. D. McCain re lated to the board the story that Dr. Manly Mason's car was broken into during the last carnival. He said the doctor told him be had parked his car and locked it while he went to play bingo. When he came back, the window was shattered and glass was lying all over the front seat. Someone had also gone through his medical bag. Commissioner Ormsby Mann suggested that the town continue to maintain the fire department as it has in the past, and when the town couldn't afford to do any more that was time enough to in vite carnivals. Firemen Garner said that some of the fellows had threatened to quit If the town didn't say they could have the carnival. "But I don't belive in that," Garner added, "I'm going to be a fireman right on. I don't believe, either," he continued, "we should butt in on something the Legion has star ted." ? He was referring to the fact that the American Legion post has sponiored carnivals heretofore at Newport. It was following the last Legion carnival that so many complaints were made about the shows and according to reports at Tuesday night's meeting. even the Legionnaires, after the last carnival, said they would not Ittempt to sponsor another.
