-Beaufort Board Authorizes fClerk to Invite Tax Experts i TV Beaafort town board, meet* t Ing at the town hall Monday night, f authorized town clerk Dan Walker ?. to invite tax experts to inspect v town records. Mr. Walker said he J intended to invite three men, in * eluding a professor at the Institute I of Government, a representative from the League of Municipalities and a tax lawyer. The tax accounting system used several years ago, according to Mr. Walker, is so fouled up that nobody knows what to do. He es timated that there are 4,000 ac counts which may or may not have [been paid. Since there Is no way to collect most of these, the town is interest ?" ed in marking them off and setting the records straight. Any real es tate involved in one of the "de . linquent accounts" can not be sold with a clear title so long as the books read as they do. The commissioners discussed the job being done by the tree experts who arc trimming dangerous limbs ? from trees and removing whole Etrees that constitute hazards. Mayor C. T. Lewis urged the board to take some action soon in " getting new trees to plant in the place of those being removed. Albert Chappell and James Pot ter, representing Beaufort mer chants, said that the merchants want to provide free parking for their customers the first three days of Christmas week, Dec. 22-24. The board gave the merchants authority to put paper bags over the heads of the meters and sug- ? gested that the bags be stamped ? with a Christmas greeting. | A problem crcated by the new bridge was discussed. Residents . on the west end of Broad Street . have complained that the tide no . longer rises and falls behind their , houses, where sewers pour raw : sewage into the water. The citizens want the town to r extehd the sewer line to deeper ci water. No action was taken. Mr. Walker suggested that the \ board authorize payment of $100 t per month to town engineer Gray c Hassell. Mr. Hassell, he said, had f charged the town only $235 for i all the work he has done in the past year. According to Mr. Walker, the i engineer is called almost daily for r consultation or for a favor. Due r to the growth of the town, Mr. s e. Hasscll's duties ?? town engineers have grown (rom an occasional (avor to a big Job, the clerk point ed out. Commissioner Gerald Hill asked Mr. Walker if he wanted to put it in next year's budget or to include it in this year's budget, which has not yet been completed. Mr. Wal ker said he thought it should be included in this year's budget. Mr. Hill then made a motion, seconded by Commissioner James Rumley, that Mr. Walker include ? $100 per month payment to the town engineer in the current bud jet. Police commissioner Math Chap lain reported 23 arrests, 1S7 meter violations and eight parking viola lions during the past month. Fire commissioner Hill reported three 'ires in town and one out of town luring November. After a brief discussion by the mayor, Commissioner William Roy Hamilton moved that all dimes put n nickel meters during January ;o to the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes committee will provide signs for the meters. Commissioner Otis Mades point :d out that people would still have o put nickcls in the meters to ;ct parking time, thus there will x no loss of revenue. Others attending the meeting verc Gene Smith, town attorney, 2erkld Woolard, building inspec or, Virgil Woolard, Wardell Fil ingamc, and chief of police Guy ipringle.

MARGARET GONDA, Representative for Morehead City, Newport, Beaufort, Havelock and New Bern "WHETHER YOU RENT OR BUY . . . YOU PAY FOR THE HOUSE YOU OCCUPY" Joint Statement Reports SPA Plans on Port Study Raleigh ? The State Porta Au-< thority and the State Highway Commiasion issued a joint state ment recently praising the results of the Morehead City conference among the two atate agencies, Southern Railway and Carteret, citizens over location of a new Beaufort-Morehead City bridge. Speaking for the highway com mission, Highway Director W. F. Babcock pledged the cooperation of his advance planning engineers with all agencies and persons who will be affected by the location. Similar pledges of cooperation came from Southern Railway offi cials, State Ports Authority spokes men, the executive committee of Conservation and Development and representatives of the Corps of En gineers. Director Babcock pointed out that it is essential that a new facility carrying US 70 traffic be tween the two cities be constructed as soon as possible, but cautioned that any decision to place the new bridge beside the old one or to move it farther north over the Newport River should be based on careful surveys of both port de velopment and traffic generation potential. John M. Reeves, chairman of the State Ports Authority reiter ated that his group will begin im mediately to study the long-range needs of the Morehead City port. Mr. Reeves said the first phase of the study will provide highway commission engineers with the basic information they must have to proceed with their projected plans for the area. He added that the study will be coordinated with officials of highway commission representatives, as well as Sou thern Railway's planning group. Mr. Babcock told the group funds are available for construction of the bridge but before the commis sion would consider any location, it would want the best advice it could obtain from all agencies and groups in order that the facility would serve the greatest need and promote future development of the entire area. He indicated that the highway department's advance planning section would go into a detailed survey of traffic needs and land use before recommending any par ticular location. Rural women in Turkey, those who worked in the fields, once wore veils only on holidays and similar special occasions. ?*%?* MOM T?H rnrvp tHM W*. !J?J 1 ? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 ? ? ? .
