II. Wright Visits County This Weekend George McNeill, Morehead City's attorney, spoke on Kerr Scott's proposed legislative program in an address at the Business and Pro fessional Women's club meeting Tuesday night at the recreation center on Shepard street, More head City. Whether there will be a liquor rcWcnriiim depends largely, Mr. McNeill told the business women, en the influence exerted or brought to bear on the legislature by tho' governor. Although the gag rule, which heretofore has made it impossible to get a liquor referendum bill on the floor, has been revised, the rule its it stands now. is thought by some to be tighter than before, the senkcr remarked. "However, if there is a referen dum and liquor is voted out, boot legging ami crime will run as ram pant as it did in the days of pro hibition," the attorney predicted. "To Carteret county," he said, "closing of the liquor stores will mean an $85,000 loss annually, with $35,000 of this sum a loss to Beaufort, Morehead City, and New port. Without ABC revenue an ad dition of 60 cents would be neces sary on the county tax rale." As for the dog race track issue, Mr. McNeill said he felt that no thing would conic of efforts to abolish the track. Rather than eli minate one, he remarked, he felt that if any action in the legisla ture were taken, it would be to grant permission for more tracks. The speaker made no prediction on the amount of money the stale would appropriate for ports de velopment. Seven million dollars has been requested by the Ports Authority, he said, and there arc plans to spend this sum in equal parts at both Morehead City and Wilmington. He elaborated on proposed plans for Morehead City's port. An ad ditional 1,200 foot pier at right angle to the present one, running east and west, would have a ware house constructed on it, providing the storage facilities in which Kinston tobacco men arc interest ed. There has been proposed also, a turning basin in what is now shallow water. These improve ments, Mr. McNeill continued, would make it possible for seven large ships to dock at Port Ter minal at one time. After explaining that the gov ernor wields a great deal of power in Ihc legislature and throughout the state by virtue of his appoin tive powers, the speaker enumcra-, led .Governor Scott's proposed 15 poiut program: 1.. Hard-surfaced roads tributary to present highways. This will mean, probably, Mr. McNeill said, better roads to Mcrrimon and Sal ter Path. The speaker predicted that Mr. Scott's roid proposals will be approved by the legislature. 2. Educational program. $2,400 minimum salary for teachers hold ing A certificates. 3. Better health program, pre ventive as well as curative. 4. Increase of old-asc assistance payments in line with the high cost of living. Si An improved and perfected pardon and parole system. . See SPEAKER Pg. 8 Delivered to Beaufort fire de partment this week was a spank ing new red fire engine which was assembled locally at a saving to the town of $2,500. The new truck with Dodge chas sis, Chrysler motor and Darley centrifugal pump cost $7,580. Its pumping capacity per minute, Na tional Hoard of Fire Underwriters, is 500 gallons.

This is the second piece of equipment which has been assem bled loc'lly at a saving to the town. In H41 the ladder truck was built al a cost of $2,750. If purchased from a fire fighting equipment company, tho cost would have been approximately $12,000.
