The new ferry which will cost 2.5-million, will replace an aged ferry and will in corporate additional safety features for the trans portation of school children across Currituck Sound. Sen. Melvin R. Daniels, Jr., D-Pasquotank, a member of the sub committee, stated that the present aged ferry was no longer adequate and must be replaced. Sen. Daniels further commented, “I am most pleased that the Committee has also approved an $ 1.2- million for the additional development of the State’s Ferry Maintenance Facility of Mann’s Harbor. In time this facility should be able to overhaul all of the ferrys and save the State con siderable money.” Ml: state refund was 8 cents in 1980 and 9Vi cents in 1961. The increase has occurred because of the 3 cents per gallon tax increase that went into effect July 1,196 L Persons file for this refund at the same time they file their state and federal income taxes.

However, sup pliers usually do not charge state and federal taxes on THE CHOWAN HERALD diesel fuel that is delivered in bulk quantities to a farm. If a farmer or other user of fuel for non - highway purposes has a question about the tax, more in formation can be obtained by contacting the Chowan County Agricultural Ex tension Office. This is a tight financially for many far- , a mers and we’re trying to pass along all the “Make It Pay” tips that we can. Saving the fuel that you have already purchased can be accomplished in a number of ways. One of the best ways to save gasoline is to keep it ,ogt of the sun. Many far mers and other people wno store gasoline at home or around their business lose a lot of it through evaporation. Research has shown that large amounts of fuel can be lost. During the course of one summer. 32 gallons of gasoline evaporated from a dark - colored 300 - gallon storage tank left ; n full sun. Twenty gallons were lost when the same type of tank was painted white and left in the sun. Only four gallons evaporated, however, when the tank was painted white and placed in the shade. Page 9-A The owner loses in two ways when gasoline evaporates. He loses money and he loses gasoline quality. The most volatile portion of stored gasoline evaporates first. This is the portion needed for easier engine starts, especially in cold weather.
