Walter Lewis Asserts
That N.C. Fishermen
Must Wake Up
SAYS N. C. FISHERIES
LEADER IN MOVEMENT
Most impressive speaker in
behalf of fishermen generally
at a recent meeting of the N.
C. Department of Conserva
tion and Development in More
head City at their biennial
meeting there recently was
Walter Lewis of Morehead
City. It was his contention,
and he was speaking for a
large group of fishermen, that
if a law was not enacted which
would forbid trawling and un
less the present law prohibiting
purse seining for food fishes
was not continued, the industry
generally would suffer.
In a letter to The Beaufort News
this week he further expressed his
views stating that the Board of Con
servation 'holds almost arbitrary
power over the lives of all the peo.
pie engaged in the fishing industry
of this state." He gave further
views on N. C. Fisheries, Inc., and
its operations. His complete letter,
which should be of interest to many
persons interested in the fishing in
dustry of our coast follows:

which told about the Norwegian S.

a few days before with a cargo of
scrap metal from Virginia on the
East Coast of America. Mr. Fort
opined that the vessel had taken on

There is a growing appreciation in
Washington for the fact that in the
legislative rush to meet conditions
presented by widespread employment,
perhaps too little attention has been
given to a constructive and perma
nent program for improving the
status of the farmer. It has resulted
in the current demand for immediate
action. And there is strong evidenve
that it will come during the present
session or at a special session in the
fall. '
If I may inject a personal thought
into this column, I will say that if
the choice were left to me, I would
favor enactment of a farm program
at the present session. I believe that
the farmers want to plan for the
future. I believe that their spokes
men are sincere and know what agri

Clear Sailing
For S. S. Mari
The Spanish S. S. Mari will
probably clear Morehead City
Port Terminal on Friday, it
was stated today by Port Su
pervisor Smoak. Capt. Luis
Aguia, master of the vessel,
had reported on Monday that
the difficulties which had arisen
with his crew had been iron
ed out following a visit from
the Spanish consul in Norfolk,
and at that time, he wos ex
pecting to sail on Wednesday.
The postponement in sailing
was caused by a delay in load
ing brought about by so much
rain earlier this week. Unless
some other complication arises,
Mr. Smoak believes that the
S. S. Mari will sail on Friday.
COUNTY TAXES
ON CASH BASIS
No
More Bonds Will
Be Accepted As
Payment
. At a meeting v of the .Carteret
board of commissioners on Monday,
which J. F. Duncan, local attorney
asserts was not legal, if Section 1296
of the Consolidated Statutes have
anything to do with it, it was decid
ed that no longer will county bonds
be accepted in payment of back tax
es.
The method of paying delinquent
taxes with bonds was made several
years ago, but frequent complaints
that some of the bonds were pur
chased at a discount, showing that
those who paid promptly with cash
were law abiding suckers, while
those whe were delinquent were prof
iteers. In some circles, however, it
is said that the method employed
was a vast benefit to some people
and probably the county treasury.
The commissioners hope that
some plan whereby cash payments
will be made easier will be perfect
ed, so that those who are delinquent
may catch up on their obligations to
the county if they will.

Re-Modeled C.G. Craft
, Will Be Named The
Hatteras
An old Coast Guard boat loaned
by the Federal government to the

as an outside patrol boat in the war
against non-resident trawlers will
be ready to sail sometime in Septem
ber, according to information releas
ed at the office of Commissioner
John Nelson in Morehead City this
week.
The craft was formerly the C. G.

with gasoline motors, but Deisel en
gines which can be operated at a
much lower rate are being installed

become infested with non-resident
trawlers during the past 10 years.
Similar patrols are being established
in other states in the war against

Third Meeting During

VIOLATED SECTION
1296 OF STATUTES
Carteret County's board of
commissioners violated Section
1296 of the Consolidated Stat
utes when they met for the
third time in one month on
Monday of this week, because
the meeting was not advertis
ed six days in advance by pub
lic notice being; posted on th
courthouse door and because
it was not advertised one time
in a county newspaper.
In such cases where "meetings
may be held at other times for the
more convenient dispatch of bus
iness" the Section 1296 reads "The
Board shall receive no compensation
for attending such called meetings."
The four members of the board who
attended the meeting on Monday
were paid their regular per diem
fees plus mileage according to rec
ords in the office of th? County Aud
itor. On Monday and Tuesday, August
2nd and 3rd, the Commissioner
were in regular session. According:'
to the Statutes that is legal because
, 129 6 , reads t"Speciirl Meetings mar
be held on. the first Monday in every
month, but shall not continue longer
in session than two days. . For the
information of those commissioners
who met on Monday and probably
were not aware of the fact that they
were violating a law, and for Carter
et's citizenship in general who should
know the administrative state of af
fairs existing in their county, we
