ANNUAL CLEAN-UP DRIVE
INAUGURATED EY POLSCF,
All yards and vacant lots
in Beaufort must be cleaned
up immediately or be subject
to arrest and the p yment of a
fine of five dollars upon con
conviction, Chief of Police W,
R. Longest yesterday stated to
a News reporter.
There is a local ordiance
number eight that maWs it a
misdemeanor for a person or
persons to permit obnoxious
and mosquito-harboring weeds
and trash to remain on yards
or vacant lots.
Police orders were issued
about ten days ago to the peo
ple of Beaufort courteously
requesting that all weeds and
trah be removed from the
yards and lots, and the News
has been informed by Chief
Longest that any delay now
will subject the responsible
person or persons to indict
ment. It is said that some people
are cooperating wonderfully
and that many yards and lots
have been considerably improved.
- Vernon Styron came bei'jre the
board and asked for permission to
erect a house on a water lot in
front of his home. The proposed
house is to be open on all sides, have
$ roof and be used for repairing net3
and ot;her work. He was instructed to
file his application in written form
to be acted upon at a later meeting.
An application of the Carolina
Telephone Company for permission
to erept a pole near the corner of
I Turner, and Front street was read.
The matter was discussed but no ac
tion was taken.
A motion offered by Commissioner
MaxwelJ 'was passed which authoriz
es the jtpenditure of $5 a month for
a few months to have some one rep

A : motion was passed instructing
the City Attorney to try to collect
some taxes which were said to have
been paid by the late J. S. White

Duncah and deposited in the Beau
fort Banking and Trust Company.
A letter was read from Roger A.
Jennings of Greensboro in reference
to the collection of some bond prin
cipal and interest. No action was tak
en on it.
Amotion was pa.-sed which fixed
the salary of City Attorney Mason
at $25 per month. The board recess

they appoint a time for a joint con

He stated to the Board the bondhold

on a more workable basis. Owing to.
the fact thatt he Board will not hold
its regular monthly meeting in Sep

being Labor Day, the second Monday
or September 11 was set as the time
for the meeting. Mr. Clifton was
told that if he will have the repre

Board were present at the meeting
Monday.
It was ordered that a reduction of

Three men have been meployed by
local businesses since they have sign
ed an agreement to co-operate with
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in
putting the National Recovery Act
into effect, and one other man has
been given employment for one half
of each day. Another concern has ad
ded one more Saturday clerk. Two
firms ay their employees wholely
on the commission basis, while one
other firm employe its men by the
hour. Two tores have increased the
pay of their employees considerably
as a result of the Blue Eagle coop
eration agreement.
This information was learned
from thirty-four businesses this week,
when a News reporter conducted a
survey of local business in order to
learn how local business men are
reacting to the presidential request
for NRA co-operation. Twenty of the
thirty-four merchants included in
this survey have signed the agree
ment, thirteen have not, and one in
tervciewed failed to make any com
ments. Nine of the businesses having
employees reported that they are
maintaining the minimum wage scale.
Most of the unsigned businesses
informed the News reporter that
they were waiting for specific codes
applicable to their special businesses.
There seems to be quite a lot of
confusion among the local business
men in regards to what is said to be
the real purpose of the National Re-
Icovery Act; that is, higher wages and
fee, and
