Water Manager
Says No Date
Available on Well
? Chemists Say They
Can't Decide on Best
Treatment Process
C. W. Williams, manager of the
Carolina Water Co., said yesterday
it was impossible to set a date on
when Beaufort's new well would be
put in use.
? He talked by phone yesterday to
the Philadelphia office of General
Waterworks, of which Carolina
Water Co. is a subsidiary, and was
told that the company's chemists
have not yet decided how to rid the
new source of water of hydrogen
sulfide, which causes the odor and
smell.
While water from the new well
does not have as high a percentage
of hydrogen sulfide as the old well,
it is present and Mr. Williams says
the water company wants to be
' sure that the water is good water
before they put it in the lines.
The hydrogen sulfide can be got
ten rid of by aeration, but when the
aeration process is used, the water
causes corrision. The water com
pany has to find out what process
to use to counteract the corrosion
if aeration is used, Mr. Williams
said.
The manager added that his firm
is investing a lot of money in the
well and treatment of water and
1 they want to be sure the town will
have "first class water" when
they're through.
He asked that the Beaufort water
users "bear with the water com
pany" until the treatment process
is decided on. He said he had no
idea when that would be.

Ten oystermen of the county met
with Roy Watson, president of the
North Carolina Fisheries Associa
tion, at Atlantic Friday night to
I discuss the state oyster program.
They made several recommenda
tions which, when incorporated
with thoughts of other oystermen
along the coast, will be placed be
fore the commercial fisheries com
mittee of the Board of Conserva
tion and Development Saturday,
July 19, at Morehead City.
Mr. Watson said the NCFA is
interested in doing "something
constructive" to improve oyster
production. He said the oyster sup
ply should be restored, and then
it should be maintained without
the state's having to pour thou
sands of dollars into it every year.
Third in Series
Atlantic's meeting was the third
in a series. Meetings have already
been held at Hobuckcn and Englc
hard. Two more arc scheduled for
Sncad's Kerry and Mattamuskect.
Fred Whitakcr, sccrctary of the
NCFA, gave the highlights of the
Ilobucken meeting. He said that
the Hpbucken oystcrmen agreed
on the following:
1. The state isn't getting what
it pays for in shells
2. Spat has died due to changes
in the salinity of the water
3. Rocks should be checked an
nually to see if spat has set
4. Seed oysters should be plant
ed thinner; 500-800 bushels an
acre was suggested.
5. "Indiscriminate stripping" of
oyster rock was opposed
8. They want the board of con
servation and development and
scientists to confer with oystermen
in local areas before seeding
7. Want 100 pound dredge limit
enforced, as well as 3-inch cull
law
Carteret Recommendations
Carteret oystermen made the
following recommendations:
1. Keep oyster season closed
until November 1 (season now
opens in October).
2. Stricter supervision of plant
ing program, requiring boats doing
the planting to keep moving as
[he seed is put overboard rather
than dumping a whole boatload
in one spot.
3. Enforce culling of oysters on
ipot where taken
4. A local committee should be
wt up to state where oysters
ihould be planted and how many
5. Restrict Back, North and
Thoroughfare Bays to tonging only
6. No "vacationers", summer
jeoplc or anyone else should be
permitted to catch "a mess of
>ysters" for home use during the
;losed season
7. The new program should be
fiven a two-year trial
