Morekead scholar Four Petitions Ask for Vote On Mosquito Tax Four communities in the county have already turned in their peti- ' tions asking for a referendum on a special tax to be used to fight mos quitoes. The communities arc llarkers Island, Davis, Williston and Stacy. The petitions are in the handi of J. A. DuBots, Morehead City, sec retary of the All Seashore Highway Association. The association has sent model 1 petition foi is to all towns and counties along the coast. The peti tion was drawn, Mr. DuBois said, 1 by Alvah Hamilton, Morehead City attorney. The law requires that 10 per cent 1 of freeholders in an area (in this instance, Carteret County) must 1 petition the county commissioners to bold a special election to de- ' termine whether persons want to 1 pay ? tax for mosquito control. Ten cents per hundred dollars valuation has been suggested. 1 A freeholder is a county resident 21 years of age who owns property, according to legal definition. The county tax office estimates that reaident property holders of the county number between t,000 ' and 10,000, which means that at most, probably, a thousand names will have to be on the petitions.
