Crop Measurements
Now Half Complete
Two additional rotometer ope

the clerical staff in the county
performance work now at the
halfway mark in this county.
Deadline for completion of the
big acreage-measurement project
is June 30. Secretary Miriam Aus
bon of the county ASC office
here stated Wednesday that the
job should be finished by the
25 th.
Misses Louise Spruill, of Cres
well, and Marianna Respass, of
Wenona, assumed their duties
Monday, joining the staff already
made up of Mrs. Leta Faye
Phelps and Mrs. Phyllis Bishop
Garthier, both of Roper, Mrs.
June Copeland and Miss Mary
Osborne Brown, of Plymouth.
Mrs. Florence Parrisher Oliver is
in full charge of all performance
work, while a crew of 15 report
ers is working under supervision
of J. Whitford Swain, county per
formance supervisor.
The work of measuring in
dividual farm acreage allotment
plantings of all crops under con

Budget Approved Exactly
As Submitted at Monthly
Council Meeting Here on
Monday Night
At its regular monthly session
here Monday night the Plymouth
Town Council approved the bud
get for 1954-55 exactly as the
estimate was submitted, subject
to action of the Local Govern
ment Commission, Raleigh, and
calling for a tax rate of $2 on the
$100 valuation, same as last year.
That was the principal business.
About the only other action
taken at the session was the hir
ing of the firm of Williams &
Wall to audit the town books for
the year 1953-54.
A committee from the Plym
outh Junior Chamber of Com
merce appeared before the board
concerning use of the ball park
for a proposed summer softball
league but was referred to the
county board of education, the
park being school property.
The budget calls for $125,910
.45 for the new fiscal year, com
pared with $121,063.21 for 1953
54. Principal changes are in the
appropriations for the Plymouth
Volunteer Fire Department and
the Water Department.
The appropriation for the Fire
Department was sharply reduced,
from an appropriation of $15,832
.21 in 1953-54 to only $7,800 for
the new fiscal year. The chief
difference here was in the ap
propriation for the new fire de
partment building, calling for $8,
632.21 for the preceding year as
against only $500 for the new
year.
The big item of change in the
Water Department appropriation
was that of water and sewer ex
tension, where $2,225 was listed
in 1953-54 budget. All the money
that was left after figuring other
essentials was lumped together
under this heading in the new
budget which calls for $22,192.45
for water and sewer extension.
Although this was ear-marked
for no special project or pro
jects, it is generally understood
that it will go principally to re
solving tough sewage problems
now existing in the Village.
For the Water Department as
a whole, the appropriation was
upped from $16,475 in the 1953
54 budget to $31,842.45 in the
1954-55 budget.

Official Returns
Certified After
Canvass Monday
-
Scott Had Clear Majority for
Senator; Owens and Ross
Nominated as Second Dis
trict Senators
-«
Official returns for the primary
on May 29 were certified Mon
day following a canvass by the
state board of election^ in Ral
eigh. The figures showed that W.
Kerr Scott had a majority over
six opponents for the regular
term of U. S. Senator, although
he failed by a small margin of
receiving a majority for the short
term, which lasts only from the
time of the election in November
until Congress convenes in Jan
uary, a period of about two
months.
Although Scott failed of a ma
jority for the short term, it is
understood that Senator Alton
Lennon will not exercise his right
to call for a second primary for
the two-month term. Thus Scott
is expected to go to Washington
shortly after the election in No
vember.
The final official vote showed
Scott received 312,053 votes for
the regular term. Senator Len
non received 286,730 and the vote
of the other five candidates was
as follows: Alvin Wingfield, jr.,
7,999; Henry L. Sprinkle. 2,548;
W. M. Bostick, 1.293; A. E. Tur
ner, 2,361; and Olla Ray Boyd,
I, 674.
For the short term Scott re
ceived 274,674 votes to 264,265 for
Lennon, 12,312 for Wingfield and
5,013 for Sprinkle. Turner, Bos
tick and Boyd did not file for the
short term.
The state canvass also showed
that Solicitor Elbert S. Peel, of
Williamston, received a majority
of 4,101 in the race for second
district solicitor; and also that
Edward L. Owens, of Plymouth,
and L. H. Ross, of Washington,
were winners in the race for sec
ond district state senators.
The vote for second district so
licitor was as follows: Peel, 15,
355; Hubert E. May, of Nashville,
II, 254. In the second senatorial
district the official vote was:
Ross, 8,130; Owens, 5,916; and
Martin Kellogg, jr., of Manteo,
4,296. Since there are two sena
tors from the second district, Ross
and Owens were nominated.

Education Board Takes Ac
tion Monday tor Four New
Classrooms and Lunch
room "Soon as Possible"
After discussion concerning the
need for classrooms at Plymouth
Colored School to replace the old,
dilapidated wooden building, the
county education board, in regu
lar session here Monday, voted
unanimously that construction of
four classrooms and a lunchroom
on the campus of the school be
carried out “as soon as possible.”
Motion was offered by Board
Member J. W. Norman, of Plym
outh, and seconded by Plymouth’s
other representative on the five

bridge. A special survey commit
tee had reported March 10th of
this year that this was an im
mediate need for the school.
The education board also au
thorized confirming of the sale
of the much-auctioned Macedonia

went to A. M. Kochelis on the
sixth auction date, May 22, for
$3,300. Kochelis had been the
successful high bidder on three
other previous occasions but each
time the bid was upset by the
Macedonia A. M. E. Zion Church.
Twice prior to that, the property
had been auctioned, W. T. Free
man being the high bidder each
time, but his bid was upset first
by D. R. Satterthwaitc and later
by the church group.
Also settled at the meeting was
the matter of a boundary contra
diction in the deed for the Brooks
School property, sold to Mrs. Ma
bel Griffir, The board invited
both Mrs. Griffin and M. T. Sit
terson, who owns land on two
sides of the school, to attend the
boai l meeting in order to resolve
the difference. The exact present
bour laries were then agreed to.
Th'1 hoard members voted to
relui antly accept the resignation
of Mrs. Georgie Frost Barnes as
stipe, visor of county scnools and
to «.♦ end profound thanks t tive
splendid work accomplished dur
ing her tenure. Mrs. Barnes re
signed effective June 15 to return

Offerings Principally Snap
Beans with Some Squash,
Cukes and Lettuce Being
Handled This Week
-<
With the Plymouth Produce
Auction Market in its second
week of operations the total vol
ume of produce handled through
business of Tuesday was given at
2,893 bushels.
The figures were released by
W. M. Darden, market manager.
Offerings thus far this week
consisted mainly of snap beans,
though some squash was being
offered and cukes and lettuce
were brought in for the first time.
The market handled cabbage last
week but had no offeriqgg of the
c-yp , ... itough Wednes
day.
All offerings of beans of mar
ketable quality have been hand
led here this week, it was stated,
and the only offerings of beans
not sold were unclassified or very
poor quality,
Boney stated Wednesday after
noon that growers need to im
prove in the harvesting and pack
ing of their produce for market
ing in order to appreciably raise
the quality of produce being of
fered on the new market.
Also, W. T. Freeman, operator
in charge of warehousing and
marketing, stated, “The dry wea
ther has reduced the quality of
beans, with resultant lower
prices.’’
Top price on the market Wed
nesday of this week was said to
be about $1.15 per bushel hamper.
Quality of cukes offered so far
was described as “ordinary" due
to the lack of rain and prices
Wednesday were running about
$1.75 per bushel here.
Produce came in from Hyde
County this week to bring to nine
the number of counties from
which produce sold here has
come. Others from which grow
ers have brought offerings so far
are Pitt, Edgecombe, Martin, Ber
tie, Beaufort, Chowan, Tyrrell
and Washington.
It appears that the bean mar
ket remains somewhat glutted
from a national standpoint, af
fecting prices adversely. The ope
rators of the local market state
that prices maintained here,
however, are right in line with
those on the older markets and
. volume has held up with all but
! the larger of the established mar
kets, it was said.

The tax rate is set on the basis
of .10 for general county fund;
.15 for poor fund; .10 for health
fund; .075 for the county’s share
of farm and home demonstration
agents' salaries; .055 for fire pro

ocunty's share of farm and home
demonstration agents’ salaries
was raised from .07: fire protect
ion rate lowered from. 06; revalu
ation rate lowered from .10;
school current expense raised
from .325; school capital outlay
lowered from .125; and debt ser
vice raised from .48.
Estimated property valuation
is. $10,500,000 and the amount of
tax levy is listed as $178,500. Tot
al budget requirements are listed
in the estimate at $271,381.56,
while estimated revenue other
than the tax levy is put at $128,
581.56, leaving $142,800 tax levy
needed to balance the budget.
The estimated amount uncollect
ible taxes and discount is $35,700,
bringing the total levy to the
amount or $178,500.
The county’s outstanding debt
as of July 1 of this year is listed
at $469,000.
