Parker outlined duties of the grand jury to the jurors yesterday morning at the first session of criminal court in the county this year. He directed t them to indict persons who have not listed their property for taxes. David Yeomans, Markers Island, is foreman of the grand jury. Two of the It jurors are women, Mrs. George J. McCabe and Misa Daphne Paul. Others are J. B. Sewell, Lester Hancock, Joseph C. Broda, Norman Rose, Donza Lee Willis, Walter Willis. Riley Norman, Andrew Neal ? Chadwick, Ralph L. Davis, Len wood R. Hall, Ralph G. Taylor, Au gustus Lawrence, Charles Cheek, Leslie G. Lewis and Fred Halsey. Commenting on the persons who have violated the law by not list ing for ta/es, Judge Parker re minded the >ry that persons who refuse to list can be sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $50. At present, 177 Carteret resi dents have not listed, according to the county tax department. Their names were published in Friday's NEWS-TIMES. The judge stated that persons who refuse to list should be taken before the judge of county re corder's court. The solicitor, the judge contin ued, would present to the grand jury bills of indictment. Those bills will bear the name of the de fendant, the charge against him ' and names of witnesses who may be examined. If the grand jury, after examin ing the witnesses, believes there is basis for a trial, the jury should return a "true bill". If there is no sufficient evidence, in the jury's opinion, "not a true bill" is re turned. But, the judge warned, "not a true bill" should be decided with out examining every witness listed on the bill of indictment. , The judge requested that If the grand jury knew of any child un der 21 who has property and no guardian, the name of the child should be reported to the solicitor so that the court could appoint someone to look after the child's affairs until he reaches 21. The judge asked the grand jury to visit the jail and all other coun ty property. He suggested that committees be appointed to visit the schools and check on physical conditions of the buildings. Judge Parker asked that condi tion of school buses be checked and that the jurors see that bus drivers are properly licensed. He warned the jury that the way they perform their duties will re flect on the entire county. He ad monished them to act without fear I or hope of reward. Guard of the grand jury is Paul ' Beachem. . . . And a Do-Si-Do!

Williams, manager of the firm here, said that the well driller is expected in Beaufort the latter part of this week. The new project will cost an estimated $30,000. The well and pump house will be constructed on the company plot where the present pumping ? station is located. The water company has stipu lated a capacity of 100,000 gallons per day to the contractor. This will more than meet the town's re quirement, Mr. Williams said. M Days Required The contractor is Layne Atlantic Co., Florence, S. C. It is expected that drilling the well and construct ing the concrete block pump house will' take about 30 days, depending on the weather. Mr. Williams expressed the hope that water of better quality can be found in the new well. He said that the first strata of water stnjfkJ in the test hole will not be used unless it is of good quality and available at the rate of How needed. Present Well Retained The present well will be main tained on a standby basis. Water from that well has been * source of complaint throughout town for the past year and more. It both tastes and smells bad. Both characteristics are attributa ble to hydrogen sulphide, a com mon but harmless ingredient of shallow Carolina waters, Mr. Wil liams commented. An auxiliary gasoline drive will be put on the new well pump head for use in emergency. This will insure a water supply in case of power failure. Mr. Williams reports that ma terial has been ordered for extend ing the 6-inch main on Cedar Street from Craven to Live Oak. A six inch main already exists on the street from the west end of town to Craven. 1, MO-Foot Distance The distance ta be covered is 1,800 feet. Cedar Street will be the new route of Highway TO through town. Last year the water company in suited ? mile, of feeder main at a cost of )15,000 in the northeast area of town to correct pressure problems in the homes of 200 con sumers. This was in the Highland Park-Hancock Park-Glcndale Park section. More improvement projects are being planned, the manager said. ? ?
