at the Public Works housing office,
Bldg. SO, or can be mailed to that
address. Housing officials said

Morehead City Town Board
Approves Defense Personnel
Morehead City town commission
ers approved Thursday night the
Civil Defense officials proposed by
D. Cordova, town Civil Defense di
rector.
They are Mayor George Dill, as
sistant director; fire service, Joe
Fulcher; communications, Groverr
Munden; welfare, C. R. Davant;
health, Dr. B. F. Royal.
Public works, G- E. Sanderson;
surplus property, John Lashley;
mutual aid, Ted Garner; medical
service. Dr. L. J. Norris; and di
rector of transportation, Bob How
ard.
The board assured Mr. Cordova
that funds would be provided in the
next budget for Civil Defense ex
penses, but if any money should be
neeed now for travel expense, it
would be made available.
Five persons appeared before the
board with requests.
They were Kemp Wickizer, Red
Willis, Arthur Lewis, Sonny Ballou
and Marvin Powers.
Shad Boat Problem
Mr. Wickizer, Mr. Willis and Mr.
Lewis, all summer boat captains,
asked the town for its cooperation
in having shad boats move off the
waterfront in the summer time.
Mr. Lewis said that the boats
are so large, smaller partyboats
cannot get in and out of their slips.
He said he damaged the stem of
his boat on at least one oecaiWn <
while trying to get past a docked
shad boat.
Mr. Wickizer said that the larger
boats not only hamper operation
of smaller boats, but they smell up
the waterfront; and the crewmen,
when they're drunk and in a cut
ting mood, are a menace to sum
mer visitors and to personnel at
the Morehead City Hospital.
The party boatmen suggested
that the shad boata fuel up at the
oil docks and then move to the
factory dock*. They said that they
don't want the shad boats off the
waterfront during the shad season
(in the winter) but they felt that'
the shad boat captains should get
oil the watertront when the sum
mer sports fishing season is under
way.
Cooperation Sought
The board agreed that a letter
should be written to dock owners
asking their cooperation in getting
the shad boats not to lie at dock
side from May 1 to Nov. 1.
Sonny Ballou, who operates the
Galley, a restaurant on Evans
Street, suggested that the town
widen Evans, between Sth and 7th,
where congestion is particularly
bad during the summer.
G. E. Sanderson, street commis
sioner, said that materials, in ad
dition to labor, will cost $450. Mr.
Ballou said that he had $300 toward
the work, so the board agreed that
the street should be widened. The
grass plot will be removed on the
south side.
Alley Eroded
Marvin Powers of the Yellow Cab
Co. appeared before the board to
complain about the alley his taxis
use between the City Theatre and
the Ideal Barber Shop. He said
rain from the barber shop build
ing pours off the roof and causes
deep gullies in the alley.
The clerk was directed to write
a letter to Nick Dombalis, Raleigh,
owner of the building and suggest
that ? down gutter be pot on the
building to prevent water from
eroding the alley.
S. C. Holloway, finance commis
sioner, reported that the clerk has
been sending out delinquent tax no
tices and that some of the taxes
are coming in. He suggested that
in 30 to (0 days the- taxes not col
lected be turned over to a special
collector.
Mayor Dill reported on the water
ways bill which includes Morehead
City harbor, and which was vetoed
last week by President Eisenhower.
Attending the meeting, in addi
tion to those mentioned, were Com
