The New York engineering firm at PurwHil, Bnnkerhoff, Hall and Ml' Donald suggested to th? Board uf Consarvaliao and D?velopm?U this week that a Waterway Devel opment Fund of $300,000 annual ly be let up to jfvelop tne state's coastal and inland waterways. The fund would be administered by the Board of Conservation. It was recommended that the money be raised by one or more of the following methods: 1. Direct allotments from tlje State's General Fund. 2. By making gasoline sold for marine use subject to the same tax now in effect for gasoline sold for highway uses. 3. "Contributions from counties which have direct access to im proved and naturally navigable in land waterways," with assessments to be prorated on some "equitable basis ol population, tax valuation or small craft registration. 4. "A nominal assessment" on commercial fisheries operations along the lines of the "Nickels for Know How" program used to pro mote farm research. 5. "Revolving funds such as may result fro.n reimbursement of State expenditures under this pro gram through subsequent Federal appropriations under the Federal Rivers and Harbors Act. As a start, the report proposed a six-point schedule of work for the first year of the scheme. This would entail the expendi ture of $500,000 for: 1. The start of dredging opera tions on the federally - authorized Manteo Bay to Oregon Inlet chan nel project to a depth of 12 to 14 feet. The recommended allotment for this was set at $150,000. 2. The start of work within Drum Inlet proper and the re moval of shoaling in the lower end of the existing channel. The work in Drum Inlet proper presently lacks federal authorization. The work on the lower end of the exist ing channel has been authorized. For these twin items, the allotment would be set at $100,000. 3. The start of work on the Masonboro Inlet channel project and the removal of any localized shoaling in Banks and Motte chan nels. For this, the New York firm recommended $100,000. 4. The start of a project to pro vide "small harbors of refuge at critical points along the several waterways." For this, $75,000 was suggested. I 5. Assistance to the rtainten ance and deepening of the locally provided opening thrantfh the bar rier just north of Carolina Beach, which connects Myrtle Sound and the ocean. Thia is not a federally authorized project but is under study >vith a view toward possible adoption. The recommended allot ment was set at $25,000. 6. Emergency dredging, contin gencies, investigations, planning ind administration. The allotment for these items would be $50,000. For longer-range operations, the report presented 27 ideas includ mg: Immediate studies of the feasi bility of establishing "a large ex port grain terminal at one of the deep-water ports, with due cons id ?ration to back-haul poasibllities ind in competion with the present outlet through Baltimore, Md." The employing of transportation and economic specialists who would advise communities which desire to embark upon municipal ly-sponsored shallow-draft water terminals involving barge-loading, grain storage, industrial sites and other facilities. ' Efforts to encourage, "through local agencies," provisions for more farm and commercial grain storage centers. Arrangements .to aaaist coastal communities in Improving and beautifying prospective tourist ports. ? Greater efforts fb promote com mercial fishing, particularly the oysters. Studies and efforts to get the Interstate Commerce Commission to establish fair and helpful truck, rail and water freight rates. Work up promotional material to interest a specific firm, when ef forts are made to attract new in dustry, rather than working up a generalized brochure. Greater efforts to get the federal government to cooperate In pro jects for developing and improving water supplies and controlling stream pollution and beach ero sion. The survey for which 147,000 was appropriated by the 1KB General Assembly was suggested by the North Carolina Coastal Marine Council, whose officers include James A. Hackney and W. Axson Smith The framers of the report stress ed that when you talk about devel oping waterways and harbors, you must remember that there muat be factories and farms In the hint erlands capable of supplying car goes sufficient to make the porta and harbors pay. Jack Jaekaea MM Jack Jackfon, Morehead City, was placed In the county jail Wed nesday on a charge of assaulting a female and poaaeaaing non-Un paid whisky A| Newsome, assistant county ?in', returned Saturday (ran State Collegia whet* he took * three-week anBuaar course Rotarians Hear Boyd Palmer Boyd Palmer of San Gcraain.

Mr. Palmer, who teaches at San Germain, is studying at the Duke lab this summer. He told Rotarians that Rotary was more of a social club in Puerto Rico than a service club, such as is the case in the states. He said the reason for its social status is class distinction in the islands. In discussing Puerto Rico in gen eral, Mr. Palmer brought out the economic, educational, and indus trial conditions existing at preaent. He also mentioned the island's tourist attractions.

Power Company Replaces Pole George Stovall, manager of Caro lina Power and Light Co., reports that the power was cut off in New port Wednesday afternoon to re place a damaged pole. The pole was cracked 10 feet from the top and was deemed so dangerous that repairmen were not allowed to climb it with the power on. Mr. Stovall also reported that the line has been established for re-setting the poles through New port on Highway 70. At the July town board meeting Mayor Edgar Hibbs said that two CP&L en gineers had been to see him re garding the poles but that "was the last I heard about it." After the report of the meeting appeared in THE NEWS-TIMES, Mr. Stovall remarked that the mayor neglected to say he had been informed by engineers that they could not re set the poles'untll the state highway department estab lished their line for the. curbs and gutters. Mr. Stovall said Wednesday that line has now been established and re-setting of poles can proceed.
