A recent news story in this
paper told of the John J. Harte
Company, of Atlanta. Ga., becom

here and of this company having
entered into an agreement with
the Southport city officials. The
agreement offers consulting en

ty of Southport, which they have
in their records called the South
port-Brunswick County Airport.
The engineers of the C. A. A.
have estimated the cost of the
project that they recommend to
be approximately $145,190. As
the C. A. A. is a participating
agency, participating approximate
ly 25 per cent in the cost of land
purchased and approximately 50
per cent of the total construct
ion cost, it might be said that
the C. A. A. is willing to particip
ate in the sum of approximately
$75,000 provided the City of
Southport matches these funds
in proportion mentioned above.
This does not mean however, that
the City of Southport will have
to put up $75,000 in cash. Possib
ly they could match these funds
with value received such as equip
ment rental, labor, material, etc.
This organization intends to do
everything within the ethics of
our profession to assist the City
of Southport in the promotion, de
velopment and construction of
this project. We are at present
discussing these matters with the
C. A. A. here in Atlanta and in- I
tend to take it up with the dis
trict office for North Carolina in
the very near future.
"Our contract with the City of
Southport is the standard form of |
contract as prescribed by the I
Society of Professional Engineers,
Georgia Chapter. On page 3 of I
this contract, modifications arc j
entered to the event the Federal
Works Agency does not approve'
the Community Planning Funds,
then the architect-enginee.r does
not start on plans and specificat
ions until notified to do so, in
writing by the owner."
Concluding a " long letter in
which he made the above state
ment and also went into details
regarding matters other than the
airport. Mr. Worley advised he
would probably be in Southport
again in the very near future.
Throughout, his letter conveyed
a deep interest in the local situat
ion and his personal belief that
present and long distance plann
ing by his firm would accomplish
something here.

New Script Issued To Army Personnel
In a sudden move to thwart any possible benefit to counterfeit

March 10th, issued new military script to army personnel there. En- j

"We just have not been in a
hurry to sell lots and are not in
too much of a hurry now. In
our particular case and with our
property having the appeal that
it has, we just felt that we should
go slow, feel our way along now
while looking to do something
really worthwhile in the future,
when things become clear."
In keeping with the plans to
move slowly, a number of un
usually good and substantial
beach homes were built at Cas
well Beach last year and before.
All of these places are owned by
prominent people from various
parts of the state. Some of them
may be described as key figures
for the development that is in
prospect for Caswell Beach.
Since last summer four sub
stantial new homes have been
added to those that were at the
beach last year. These new homes
are owned ' by I. R. Robinson,
