He stated further that Port Terminal Authority did not want Beaufort and Western disontinued and that all Morehead interests admit that abandonment would be disas trous to Beaufort industrial interests and say they want to see operation continued.

The grounds have been cleared, shrubs have been planted under the supervision of WPA land scape architects and the fairways on a 9-hole golf course have been clear ed and will be completed and ready for use during the rats summer or early autumn.
