Tick Eradication To Be Continued In Pasquotank m County Commissioners Voted Monday To Re scind Action Taken At March Meeting, And Will Carry On Work With Assurance It Will Be Completed This Year The work of tick eradication in Pasquotank County will be continued through the present year, following the recinding of the action taken by the Board of County Commissioners at the March meeting to discontinue it. The Commissioners voted on the measure Monday at a few minutes 'before noon, after they had heard from farmers of Pasquotank County and business and professional men of this city, and after they had re ceived assurance from a representa tive of the Bureau of Animal Indus try that the work would be finished this year. The vote on tick eradication was four favoring the continuation of the work and two against it. The nega tive votes were cast by Commis sioners Pritchard, of Providence, and Morgan, of Nixonton township. These two contended that they, as representatives of their respective townships, could not conscientiously vote in favor of keeping the work going. Noah Burfoot, Sr., chairman of the Board, explained that the action tak en at the March meeting to stop tick eradication in the County by with drawing the financial support of the County from it, was taken because the Commissioners believed that the work would be an endless chain; that at the end of this year there would still be further tick work to do. He declared that he was much reassured by statements made by the tick eradication expert present at the meeting to the effect that the work would be finished this year. Hon. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, repre senting the city Chamber of Com merce and the Rotary Club, made the first tick eradication speech to the Commissioners Monday morning. After him came J. T. McCabe. in be half of the Merchants Association. Other speakers were T. S. Onley, O. L. Bundy, W. L. Cohoon. .1. W. Fore man, W. O. Saunders. H. P. l:ivis, Dr. Zenas Fearing and Reuben Har ris. A vote taken by C. O. Robinson, president of the Chamber of Com merce Just prior to the action of the Commissioners indicated that every one of the 50 or 75 representative furiners, business and professional men present at the meeting was In favor of continuing the work of tick eradication. j The Immediate effect of the action j taken by the Board will be that Pas ; quotank County will promptly be i placed under State quarantine against the bringlng-in of cattle , from tick-infested sections. It Is es timated that twenty vats will be suf ficient for this year's dipping re quirements. The Commissioners are empowered to choose their own tick Inspector, and have been given ' assurance that the State will com mission whomever they select for the work.

Sewer Rate Increased Fifty Cents A Month New Rate, However, Allows Only Half Of In crease Requested By President Crook At Cor poration Commission Hearing In March Goes Into Effect April 1st IT'S FIRST TEST IN COAL STRIKE Real Effectiveness Of Walkout Not Seen Saturday Which Was Holiday For Miners Indianapolis, April 3 (By The As sociated Press) The first test of the strength of the nationwide coal strike came today, the beginning of suspension on Saturday of an annual holiday among miners having failed to determine the exact effectiveness of the walkout. United Mine Work ers headquarters today expressed confidence that the day's develop ments would confirm the union es timate ot 600,000 men, among them 100,000 non-union workers, had laid down their tools for an Indefinite period of Idleness. A tacit truce between miners and operators is counted on apparently to make the union estimate a cer tainty. Few If any operators in the big coal centers strongly unionized are pected to attempt early resumption of operations. The situation, how ever, is in doubt in non-union and open shop districts. ! liOtt'is Courts Invent Ration Washington, April 3 (By The As sociated Press) The nnion coal j miners who suspended work Satur- : day in the nationwide coal strike were declared by John L. Iewis, president of the United Mine Work ers, to be desirous of ending suspen sion of operators at the earliest pos sible date, but resumption of produc tion entirely depends, he said, upon the future attitude of the coal oper ators. President Lewis was before the House Labor Committee hearing on the Bland resolution for the ap pointment of a commission to in vestigate the industry. Mr. Lewis said his organization would welcome any Impartial and Judicial Investiga tion of general conditions In the bi tuminous and anthracite industries. HlK Wf'k's Production Washington, April 3 (By The As sociated Press) A coal production of 11,437,000 tons, the highest since .December, 1920, was reached in the bituminous coal Industry during the week ending March 25, according to the Geological Survey. Was Fined For Numerous Breaches Of The Peace Bruce Puckett, young white man of this city, was tried in recorder's court Monday morning on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, tres pass, resisting an oftlcer, and being drunk and disorderly. The trouble grew out of an altercation he Is al leged to have had with John Tash jian, local jeweler und watch re pairer, at the hitter's office in the Robinson Buildhig Sunday night. Puckett was lined ten dollars and costs on the assault charge, ten dol lars and costs for trespass, fifteen dollars and costs for resisting an of ficer, and ten dollars and costs for being drunk. The defendant enter ed notice of an appeal to Superior Court, and was placed under a bond of $150.

Stone resum ed thentand today in her trial for the murder of Ellis (iuy Klnkead, for mer corporation counsel of Cincin nati, B.WK KOimiWV l All l BE Washington, April 3 (By The As sociated Press) An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the Mer chants Bank & Trust Company here today. Bepinninjr April 1st the sewer rate at Elizabeth City is increased fifty cents a month for a period of three months. This is the substance of an or der of the North Carolina Cor poration Commission issued un der date of March 31, and re ceived by Mayor Goodwin Monday morning, the new sewer rate is $1.50 a month, and is fifty cents under the rate for which President Crook, of jthe local utility companies, pe ! titioned the Commission early in March. Here is the com jplete text of the order: So ifar as we are advised this Is the only privately owned sewerage 'system, serving an important city or town, in the State. It also has the i disadvantage of being located so near tide water level that it cannot be op erated by gravity, and requires the service of electrically driven pumps to lilt the sewage for discharge, which makes its operation relatively expensive. It appears that the petitioner has 5 45 customers and collected last year $4,057.50; the cost of operating the plant last year was $9,035.66, leav ing a deficit ot $4,978.16. It was brought out also at the hearing that ! something near 250 additional cus tomers could be added, if the city would require all adjacent residents i to connect with the sewer system. Certainly as many as 200 could be secured. 155 added to the 545 they 'now have would make 700 custom ers, which, at $1.50 per month, or $18.00 a year, would give the com pany a gross revenue of $12,600,00, which would more than pay the op erating cost. Therefore, It Is Ordered, That the Elizabeth City Sewerage Company ,be, and It here by is, authorized to-charge $1.50 per month for each connection, for a period of' three (3) months, at the end of which time it shall make a financial report to this Commission showing the result of said operation and the number of new customers It has secured. If the city would co-operate with the company, we believe that It would not be necessary to further raise this rate, and It can, In the opinion of the Commission, be re duced when more than 700 custom ws have been secured and put on it books. This order shall be effective on and after the first day of April, 1922. By Order of the Commission: It. O. SELF, Clerk. This March 31, 1922. , J. E. CORBETT RUNNING FOR OFFICE OF SHERIFF J. K.
