4 two men became unruly, and he
stopped the car. A scuffle followed

Funds Sought
For Two Inlets
In Carteret
Senator B. Everett Jordan Mon
day asked the Senate Public Works
Appropriations subcommittee to ap
prove $50,000 for surveys aimed at
deepening channels at Drum and
Bogue inlets on the North Carolina
coast.
The subcommittee, headed by
Sen. Allen J. Ellendcr (D-La.) is
considering a new rivers and har
bors bill designed to offset White
House criticisms that have pro
duced vetoes of two similar bills in
the past three years.
Jordan's request, in which he
was joined by Rep. Graham Bar
den, would provide $25,000 for a
survey of the feasibility of deepen
ing the channel of Drum Inlet near
Atlantic in Carteret County to 12
feet. Engineers estimate the cost
of the project, if approved at
$400,000.
Another $25,000 would be appro
priated for a study of deepening
Bogue Inlet to provide a 12-foot
channel and to create a 12-foot j
deep turning basin at Swansboro |
in Onslow County.
The Bogue project would cost an
estimated $750,000.
