The Beaufort News Proves Its Value For the past many years 10 tavahlp front foot valua tion in the business section of Beaufort has ranged from S117 to S125. Everyone in volved seemed to complain about it. but it seems that during the vears no detinite action was taken to have the valuation lowered. Mam complaint was that Beaufort business area valuations were from $27 to $35 higher than similar poperty in pros perous and fast growing Morehead City. The Beau fort News, editorially, took the lead to have the valua tion placed equal in the twin towns of Carteret. Before the ink was dry on the edition which carried the editorial favorable comment started coming into our office. Ex planations about the differ ence was also offered. In less than two week after the editorial appeared the Board of Equalization met and in terested citizens appeared asking for lower valuations. In less than two weeks from The Beaufort News' editorial the valuation was lowered, thus saving our business men many tax dollars annually. In helping to score this tri umph. The Beaufort News was only doing what Coastal Carteret's most widely read newspaper will alway do and M:titiai 'W.'.w: n Get your feet in a pair of these new Roblees and get a new high in all 'round shoe pleasure, for a lot less shoe money.

Failing to reach any agree - ment on wnai 10 piace uie taxable valuation of menha den nroeessinsr plants in Car teret County, the Board of ; Equalization OI1 Tuesday de-; (.'.led that it Would be fair to; evervone to employ profes-; ional appraisers to come into the County and arrive at some figure. This being the Case, we are Wondering What will happen after the profes sional's appraisal. In the first place, a professional ap-m-iiisinir board will cost the J County several hundred dol lars. They are not low- priced experts, u is kh opinion that the County will not be losing anything as re sult of the expenditure, how ever, as valuation on every plant is surely to be raised from figures arrived at by the Commissioner Board of Appraisers Several hun dred dollars and then some will be added to the County's income if they value the nronertv at a professional's viewpoint. We believe in fairness to all. We do not believe that competitive menhaden plant operators should be too quick to judge the value of another's plant unless they have actually been on the property and seen the equip ment. Many times a vast-appearing plant from the dist ance may not be worth what it seems to be worth. It is what is inside a person, or a plant that counts. We wonder what the ef fect would be. should high taxes actually be responsible for an operator to move his plant or curtail operations? We wonder what the reac tion would be, should the op erator of a plant who has been pouring thousands of I dollars into the firms of Car-i teret for supplies, groceries, oils, lumber and everything else at retail prices, decide uddenlv to start buying ev erything elsewhere at whole- ale. It is entirely possible that an operator ot a plant could continue to operate in a big way, without any local cooperation. It is possible to bring in laborers to re place native born workers. There are many things to be considered and considered seriously in tax matters which might increase the in come tor a county s treasury a few hundred dollars annu ally, but cause the loss to many people and firms thous ands of dollars annually. We believe in fair play and we believe in attracting new sources of livlihood for our people and keeping the sources intact which we now hav?. What do you think? Heard Broadcast And Wants REA Project To the Editor: We, my family and I. heard your broadcast last Sunday and enjoy ed it. We hope when you see Keaufort growing you will think of our community and work for us especially for electrical lines. Sincerely, Mrs. Bessie Williams. North Marlowe, March 17, 1140. PTA Sponsoring Class Play Here Beaufort PTA is sponsoring a play, "In Came Mary Ann" a 3-act comedy at Beaufort School Audito rium on Friday night, March 21).

"SKY PATROL GANG" Comedy LETTERS 1 n ! ti . arJ Davis Writes About H. I. Bridge To the Editor: Yesterday's Twin-City Iai': Times head-I:ned "Harkers I shin, i.Ses Mriluv". If the old ain that oi:e cannot lose that which to has ro ve i- had is true. then. Ha; kers Island has not lost the bride for she never had a bridge to lost (Inly the immediate possibility o! a bridge beinir built has been hist. The same paper stated that the people here beiil unable to airvee on the location of the hridiro has ;i lot to ,lo with the action or con templated act on on the part of the State Ili.'hway to abandon the pro ject. That statement may be true in so far as it t;oes but it does not tell the whole truth. The whole truth is that when the State High way officials called on the Carter et County Commissioners to O. K. the map and plans for the Straits route the Hoard of Commissioners could not agree to endorse same or at least that is what the State j Highway officials claim is what ! happened. 1 have contended for years that Markers Island should have a bridge and from l.enoxville. I am still fighting for that. A few- weeks ago the Kinston office of the State Highway told me very force fully that a bridge to Lenoxville at this time was out of the question because of the cost; that they would build a bridge to Harkers Island now but had to build it at the cheapest price, which they claimed was Straits route. Quite a few of us feel that the cheapest route would he at Marshallberp. It is not as good for Markers Island as Lenoxville, but if Lenoxville is out of the question, why shouldn't we try to get the next best? The Marshallberg bridge would be 1400 feet shorter than the Straits. It would give us a telephone connec tion quicker. It would put us di rectly on a bard surfaced road at once. There are many more reas ons for the Marshallberg route ove. the Straits, the biggest of which is this: Wo would still be free to continue fighting for Lenoxville just the same. We have never abandoned the Lenoxville route but decided to fight for it in a dif ferent way. If our dreams ever came true, which would be possi ble with the amount of traffic over a bridge from any direction. Mark ers Island would be on a through route. We have put these things j to the officials of the State High way hut have never demanded that anything be done t bout it. only in as they saw fit. Five or six of our citizens on the advice of some of their Beau fort friends, that all they had to do to get the bridge at Lenoxville was to hold out for it or nothing, did that very thing, but they repre sent only themselves and their wishes. As a matter of fact I don't suppose they realize that the so hot about the bridge was months time Beaufort should have become ago instead of at the last minute, or that if a bridge isn't built now there will be approximately $2.r. 000 spent on the ferry and docks. After all such pleadings will avail nothing. And we believe the atti tude Beaufort is taking is what has frightened the Board of Commis sioners and not the speeches of two Harkers Island citizens in Beau fort about two weeks ago. Now, Aycock, are the people of Harkers Island as a whole, so mucn at fault? Or, do you agree with me that there are plenty of folks in Carteret who would be pleased to know that Markers Island would get no bridge? Of which we may have plenty to say later if the pro ject is really called off. Yours very truly, Earl C. Davis. Markers Island, N. C, March 19th, 1940.
