THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1944 12 PAGES THIS WEEK PUBLISHED WEEKLY BEAUFORT VOTES HUGE SURPLUS EYED BY LEGISLATORS II RAT CONTROL IT JAN. MEETING IMorehead Undertakes Plan. Mayor Taylor Volunteers to Gather Beaufort Opinion Morehead City is embarked to- iay on a permanent rat control program. Beaufort will decide whether to iain in the program at a meeting of its Board of Commissioners on January 8. The nrosrram. recommended by County Health Officer, Dr. R. K. Oliver, will be carried out by the State Health Department working in conjunction with the Typhus Control Unit of the United States Public Health Service. Machinery and technical skills invnlvud will be donated by the State and National Health servic es. The program will cost Morehead fitv nothinff. Cost of labor and sunulit'S required to rat-proof buildings will bo charged to the owners of the buildings. Such' cost, it is estimated by E. L. Hiu ton of the State Ik-alth Depart ment, will average $10 a builiing. To secure the services of the State Health Department and the United States Public Health Ser vice, Morehead City's Board of Com:r.:inioners passed an ordi W i cmfwy cmfwyp vbgkq e'ec nance which dis-allows any inter ference with the program on the part of a building owner and which levies cost of rat proofing in much the same fashion as oroinary tax es are levied. In addition, More head City agreed to pay its share of a monthly cost of $150 to main tain the program, once it is com pletely underway. Mayor D. B. Willis of Morehead City said today that he is confi dent that the cost of the program will be repaid many times over by reduction of the ever-growing damage done daily by the hords of rats that invest the wharves and business sections. Dr. Oliver described the pro gram Monday night at a meeting of the Beaufort Board of Com missioners expressly called by Mayor Taylor. It was the majority opinion of the Commissioners that Beaufor: merchants, business men and building owners should be allow ed an opportunity to investigate the merits of the State Health De partment program and action on the regulatory ordinance was tab'. led until the January meeting. Mayor Taylor volunteered to canvass the merchants, business men and property owners between now and Jan. 8 an-,1 secure their opinions. The North Carolina Legislature will convene for its second war time session on January 3 vtith a new Governor, R. Gregg Cherry. and the task of handling the larg est surplus in the state's history. Governor-elect Cherry cam paigned for conservation of the fund approximating more than $70,090,000 and recommended that the sum be used to pay off the states' indeBtedness of $52,000, 000. Cherrv is on record as savincr that while he believed taxpayers are entitled to some relief either in the form of credits or refunds during the "temporary" surplus period, the job of revising the State's treneral tax schedule should be left to peacetime assemblies. Although legislatures generally follow a new governor's wishes there will be many contested is sues, leaders believe. Other problems to come up are reports recommending establish ment of hospitals for the Negro Teeble minded, spastic paralytics; creation of a four year medical school at the University of North Carolina.
