For the first time in the history of Carteret county, a joint meeting of Morehead City and Beaufort elective officers was held Monday night. The meeting took place in the Morehead City muni cipal building. The primary purpose of the session was to settle misunderstandings regarding the causeway. I^eaufort commissioners recently moved to take the causeway into Beaufort town limits and later Morehead City commissioners, upon the request of causeway residents, undertook procedures to annex the disputed area to Morehead City. The commissioners, mayors, and town clerks decided that a joint zoning board with members from each town should be formed. ?n.: .. ? ... . ? i ? 1 111* /on i ii k ooaro wouia nave tne authority to zone the causeway, providing that the State Ports com mission does not already have au thority over the area. % The officers also decided that so cial get-togethers between the towns' mayors and commissioners town's mayors and commissioners, ; town clerks and ports authority Commissioners should be held fre quently to promote better under standing between the towns. The first such meeting, will take place Wednesday night at More head City Commissioner M T. Mills's camp near Havelock Both mayors and clerks, and all com missioners and local ports author ity commissioners will attend A remarkable amount of unani mity of viewpoint between the two towns was discovered at the meet in?. Both groups agreed that the causeway would be a liability to either town at the present time but that its potential value was high in view of the proposed ports development in this area. Both also agreed that unless some settle ment is reached, the causeway can be the cause of considerable strife between the two towns Mayor George Dill. Jr . opened the meeting with a statement of the purpose of the gathering. Most of us on both sides are con fused on the other's motives and actions Thi.v meeting here is the best thing 1 have seen happen in my time. We believe that Beaufort is trying to prevent offensive in dustries from settling on the cause way. I believe we should try to set up a workable joint zoning committee who.it findings would satisfy both towns.

The causeway can be the stumbling block between us or it I can be a meeting ground. Torts i development will have to go that I way, there is not room for it this ! way Things have failed to come to Carteret county because of a lack of mutual understanding be tween Morehcad City and Beau lort. If we want to, we can do away with that lack of understand ing and help each other. Mayor Lawrence Hassell of Beaufort: i agree with you. What peeved us considerably though was the failure of Si Gibbs (Carteret county Representative II. S. Gibbs) to enter a zoning bill giving us authority to zone the causeway , and then turning around and en- 1 tering a bill changing Morehead's I charter and taking part of the causeway into Morehcad." Commissioner Walter Freeman of Morehead City: "Our bill came by the request of causeway resi dents while yours did not." Commissioner D. G.
