Towns Pour Out
Their Troubles
To State Group
Plead For Larger Share Of
Highway Revenues For
Street Maintenance
j Appointed at the direction of
I the last State Legislature, a spe
I cial State Municipal Road Coni
| mission in a hearing held in the
courthouse here yesterday after
noon listened for more than two
hours to the troubles and woes of
a number of northeastern North
Carolina towns. Appointed by
Governor Scott, the commission is
gathering statistical data about
the towns and hearing the various
officials preparatory to submitting
a report and making recommen
dations to the next Legislature
which, the towns hope, will offer
increased aid to them in build
ing and maintaining streets.
Following a luncheon in the
Hotel George Reynolds, the mem
bers of the commission repaired
to the courthouse for the open
forum. Fifty or more 'officials
from eight or ten towns in this
section of the State submitted re
ports and pleaded for more
money. Mayor Robt. Cowcn wel
comed the visitors, and State Sen
jator Julian Allsbrooks of Roan
oke Rapids, a member of the coni
! mission, outlined the work of his
j group.
j District Highway Commissioner
Henry G. Shelton, speaking brief
ly, declared that much had been
heard about rural roads, that he
believed there had been an ink
ling about towns having problems,
too. He assured the group that
I the highway commission would
work in every way possible with
the towns.
George Franklin of the North
Carolina League of Municipalities,
conducted the open forum and
called on the various town repre
sentatives to explain their prob
lems to the special commission.
Mayor Jones of Farmville, re
viewing his town's problems, said
that there were about 16 miles of
streets in his town, and all but
three were paved, that only 2.19
miles were subject to State main
tenance. His town now has a
$139,000 street bonded debt, that
the town is at the end of the rope,
and that the bonded debt was at
the saturation point.
Mayor W. S. Stafford of Green
ville said that 40 of his town's 72
| miles of streets were paved, that
they are spending this year $84,
' 300 on streets, or about one-fourth
| of the budget for that one item.
I Commissioner Hodges of Wash
ington said that only ten miles of
his town’s 40 miles of stre i were
paved, that the street b is
$72,000. He pointed out t. n
parent inequality of the StaL c
on gasoline used in town vehicles
driven on the town's own streets.
“We paid in gas tax last year
about $2,000," he se,J.
Mayor Latham of Belhaven,
pointing ^ut that his town faced a
predicament, said that only three
miles of his town’s 23 miles of
City Clerk Roebuck of Plym
outh said they had 14 miles of un
paved streets, that large trucks
were taring the streets to pieces
He explained that the town had a
$2 tax rate and that the problerr
of maintaining streets and carry
ing on other town functions had
reached serious proportions.
Representative Tatum of Col
umbia pointed out the apparent
inequality of allocating State
funds to the towns, and added that
they had a combined tax rate of
$4.30 and could not properly
maintain their streets. He sug
gested a new formula for allocat
ing State funds for highways in
side towns.
Mayor Haskett of Edenton of
fered a splendid picture of his
town, declaring that the highway
commission had cooperated in
every way posible, that they had
no complaint. He explained that
the town had no bonded debt, but

Opening a two-week special j
term of the Martin County Sup
erior Court next Monday, Judge
W. H. S. Burgwyn, presiding, will
hear pleas for tearing asunder the
bonds of matrimony in ten cases.
All of the actions are based on
grounds of two-year separation.
The number of divorce cases is
believed to be on the downward
trend, the count before the court

ure recorded two or three years
ago.
Divorce actions, all calendared

First Countv “Blue Baby” Will
Undergo Operation This Week
Twelve Year-Old
Orphan Enters A
Durham Hospital
—*—
No Appeal Made By Mother
Of Eight Fatherless Chil
dren But Help Need*'d
Martin County’s first pronounc
ed "Blue Baby", Master Jack Har
ris of the Bear Grass community, ’
entered Duke Hospital this week
for a delicate operation, and al
ready his case is attracting much 1
attention. Friends rallied around
to cheer the lad up as he made
ready to leave home for the hos
pital, lending aid and wishing him ,
well.
Under the care of physicians
most of his life, the youngster has
fought nobly to live and to make
the most out of life. He would at- j
tend school, but often he would
suffer an attack there and under
standing friends would carry him
home. The symptoms of his trou
ble recently developed to the ex
tent that the ailment could be di
agnosed by the family doctor. The
finding was verified by doctors in
the Durham institution a few days
ago, and arrangements were made
without delay to have him enter
the hospital for the operation. Re
ports state that the youngster, de
spite the seriousness of the opera
tion, left home entertaining great
hope for a cure and a claim to a
normal life.
Possibly there have been others
in this county suffering with the I
same heart condition, but as far1
as it can be learned Jack is the
first to have his case definitely di
agnosed, and he is the first sched
uled to undergo the operation. |
His mother, heading the family'
of eight fatherless children, most1
of them of tender years, has made
no appeal for aid, but friends, ac
quainted with the facts, say that
assistance is needed and needed
immediately if the boy is to have
the best possible advantage in his!
fight for life. As guardian for her
children, the mother has drawn
the limit on the lad’s fund, an
amount barely large enough to
meet the minimum costs for just a
few days in the hospital. The chil
dren, the youngest of whom was
only about three weeks old when
the father died about five years
ago, have all pitched in to help
Jack. Neighbors and other friends
have also pitched in to help, but
the need extends beyond the
boundary of the little community.
Thoughtful persons in other sec
tions of the State have acted in
similar eases, and if one judges
by the pa’st record established by
the people of this county the pres
ent challenge can and will be met.
Mrs. Irving Terry, who carried the
little fellow to the hospital earlier
this week, has agreed to act as
treasurer of the fund for him.
Those who Would aid the boy in
his fight for life, are earnestly
asked to forward or carry their
contributions to Mrs. Terry in
..r Grass.. Mai! contributions
will reach her when addressed in j
her name, RFD 2, Williamston, N '

age is expected to make the trip

dies, and old folks, too, are invit- 1
ed to arrange their schedule sol
as to be on hand when old Santa'

Working to promote the holiday
spirit, Williamston’s Boosters are'
planning a new street decorative
system. Messrs. J. S. Ayers and
B. D. Courtney, making up a spe- 1
cial committee, are working on
the lighting plans. It is likely
, that no strings of lights will bo
! Placed on the streets this season,
i but members of the committee
haven't revealed just what they
| have in mind.
j For the first time in several
years, outdoor lighting arrange
ments will be judged this year.
Prizes are to be offered, and rules
and regulations will be announc
ed later. During the meantime,
the citizens are asked to be think
j 'n8 about their blueprints for a
j real decorative scheme. It is ex- 1
Ipected that the lights will go on I

Minor Accident
In The County

when a pick-up truck driven by
Lester Everett, and a 1947 Mer
cury driven by William V. Paige
crashed on a dirt road not far
