information that vou may

about the taxes,.. I was apprehensive
that if I stated to .him that the town
tax of Morehead City was $1.50 plus
the-County rate of $.25, or a total
0f 53.75 on ejoo Valuation, and that
the. town rate of Beaufort was $1.90
and. the. County rate $2.25, or a total
of $4.40 on S100 valuation, without
an explanation of the reason for
these high Elites and bow long they
are Jikely to last, and about what
the "ratio of assessed value bsars to
the real value of property at these
two places, it would probably have
the elfect of making anyone who
contemplates establishing an indus

are prohibitive and that they would
then seek some other locality. I am.

LAKE SCUGOG DUCK WAS
KILLED IN CORE SOUND
For several years the United States
Bioligical Survey hn.s. been making
efforts to obtain information about
the habits of wildfowl. Birds are
caught, bandvd an.d released in their
far away rt'orthern homes.. ..Occas
ionally they are killed and the L-g
bands sent back to Washington or to
some Biological Station.
A few days ago Mayor T. M.
Thomas Jr. shot a black head duck
that had a band on its leg. This
band was turned over to Superinten
dent S. F. Hildebrand of the Biolog
ical Station at Beaufort. Dr. Hilde
brand sent the band to Washington,
D. C. and the following information
was obtained about it:
"The bird carrying band No.
464450 was a lesser scaup banded at
Lake Scugog, Ontario on November
8, 192G by H. S. Osier." So the fact
was established that this duck had
come from a province in Canada tQ
the feeding grounds in Core Sound.

FIRE LIGHTERS CHASED
BY GAME WARDEN GODWIN
There has been a great deal of
game in Core Sound and other waters
in this section this year and this has
been a temptation to some persons to
violate the game laws. Chief game
warden D. J. Godwin has received
reports from time to time .that some
person, or persons, was fire lighting
and he resolved to make an effort to
catch somebody and have him prose
cuted. As the fire lighter knows he
is violating the law and he is always
armed catching one is no child's
play.
Mr. Godwin spent several days re
cently at the Carteret Gun Club on
Core Sound and while there kept a
lookout for the fire lighters. One
night he saw a skiff with a light in
her bow and one or two men in it
evidently after game. He tried to
get up with them but as he was un
able io do so he fired two shots which
caused them to put out their light
and get out of sight as fast as possi
ble. He could not find out who was
in the boat. Hunting wild fowl at
night is a violation of the Federal
game law and those who do it are li
able to be fined or imprisoned. So
far this season 76 licenses to non
resident hunters have been issued.
The charge is $10.50 for each
license. The hunting season for wild
fowl ends January the 31st.
