Milton O'Neal to Be Tried
In October Superior Court
Milton O'Neal, Harkers Island,
was released under $300 bond fol
lowing a hearing before Mayor
L. W. H asset 1, Beaufort, at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning in the
town hall.
O'Neal, charged with breaking
and entering and larceny, had
been held in jail since his arrest
at midnight Sunday. Police stated
that he broke into the home of
Elmo Willis, Broad street, and
took a double-barreled shotgun.
Because a burglary charge
cannot be tried in a court lower
than superior, O'Neal's case will
be heard in next month's term of
superior court.
Through his attorney, Claud
Wheatly, O'Neal pleaded not
guilty. The defendant did not
testify during the hearing, but
sat silently, apparently not af
fected by procedures going on
about him.
State's witnesses w^re S. G.
Gibbs of the state bureau of
investigation, Beaufort Police
Chief I*. B. WUlis, and M. M. Ay
scue, ABC officer.
The first to testify was Chief
Willis who said he was called on
the case at 10 o'clock Sunday
night. He said he also notified
Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Ayscue.
The chief told Mayor Hassell
that Mrs. Elmo Willis told him
someone had broken into their
house and that Mrs. Willis's
mother-in-law, who lives nearby,
informed him that Milton O'Neal
had inquired of her at 9 p.m.
whether Elmo was home.
The chief then stated that he
learned that Maxwell Wade, cab
driver, had carried Milton to Har
kers Island that night. Taken
from the Willis home was a
double-barreled shotgun, accord
ing to police, and the cab driver
reported that O'Neal had a Rouble
barreled shotgun with him.
Chief Willis said that upon
learning thope facts, a warrant
was sworn out and he, Mr. GlbM,
and Mr. Ayscue went to Harkers
Island and arrested O'Neal at his
home.
The police chief stated that the
defendant admitted he had the
gun.
Mr. Wheatly, in cross-examina
tion, asked if the cab driver had

At School Streets
Morehead City Jaycees went on
record at their Monday night meet
ing in the Fort Macon hotel dining
room favoring placement of police
at Morehead City school during
rush hours in order to handle the
heavy volume of pedestrian and ve
hicular traffic.
. It was reported to the Jaycees
that Mayor George W. Dill, Jr.,
had been approached on the matter
and had said there were not inough
police to have one or more at the
school when it opens in the morn
ing and lets out in the afternoon.
When this report was made, con
siderable discussion took place in
which it was said that if the town
commissioners were fully aware of
the situation they would instruct
the chief of police to see that po
lice supervision was provided. The
group then voted in favor of the mo
tion.
A discussion also took place of
the possibility of- having football
added to the athletic schedule it
the school. Some of those present
stated that arrangements had alread
y been made for having the sport
this year until "the powers that be"
threw a monkey wrench into the
plan. Jaycees went on record as
favoring the addition of the sport
next vear.
H. S. Gibbs, Jr., chairman of the
public affairs committee, announ
ced that Scotch-Lite tape ordered
by his committee would arrive
shortly and said he would need
help in distributing it Jaycees will
attempt to affix strips at the lu
minous tape to every bicycle In
town in an attempt to avoid acci
dents at Bight.
Plans wete made for Monday
night when the group will journey
to the school to clean and wax the
linoleum Mock floor in the auditor
ium. Teams were appointed to han
dle each phase of the Job.
A letter was suthorized to Reids

To Rotarians j
An appeal for donations to the
1949 Christian Rural Overseas Pro
gram, CROP, was presented to
Beaufort Rotarians by Rev. W. W.
Davis' at their Tuesday night meet
ing in the Inlet Inn dining room.
Mr. Davis stated that money do
nated would be used to purchase
produce to be given to needy fam
ilies in Europe. He said that this
year no canned or processed goods,
with the exception of canned milk,
would be ihippO overseas since
such shipments might increase un
employment in Europe.
Instead, the minister said, dona
tions will be confined to cash, farm
produce and canned milk.
Rotarians passed a resolution a
greeing to sponsor next year's
Beaufort recreation program. This
resolution was passed in view of
the extreme success ot this years
program.

"We just consider cemeteries |
dead space," Leigh Wilson explain- j
ed to the Beaufort planning board 1
at a meeting Monday night in the !
town hall.
Mr. Wilson is field consultant
with the League of Municipalities.
He has drawn up a zoning ordi
nance for Beaufort which was dis
cussed by the planning board and i
will be presented to the citizens
at a public meeting at 7:30 Thurs
j day night, Sept. 29, in the court
bouse.
There is no provision in the
ordinance concerning cemeteries,
they can just stay where they are,
or expand, if necessary, Mr. Wil
son continued.
Robert Stephens, board member,
commented that if three people
want to get together somewhere
knd die that subsequent burial
where they were would be all right
with the planning board.
Mr. Wilson zoned a map of the
town into four areas, business, in
dustrial, residential, and neighbor
hood trading area.
It was emphasized that no chan
ges can be made in the town as
it stands at present. The zoning
ordinance, if it is adopted by the
town board, will apply to future
construction and conditions. Zon
ing protect, property in its present
and natural uses, Mr. Wilson
stated. It is also an essential step,
he added, in obtaining reduced
insurance rates for the town.
Laws on future construction will
prevent crowding in residential
areas, prevent fire hazards, and
prevent buildings from deprecia
ting rapidly in value, it was point
ed out.
The zoning ordinance is flexible,
Mr. Wilson stated. It also provides
for a "board of adjustment" which
can hear cases wherein difficulty
arises in compliance with the code.
This board can make minor ad
justments aa long as they don't in
volve a complete reioning, it was
explained
Members of the planning board
who attended Wednesday night's

A road paving project uppermost in the minds of Car
teret countians for over 30 years got the green, light this
week when the State Highway commission, announced it
was calling for bids on the paving of 12.6 miles of road
from US highway 70 to Merrimon in eastern Carteret co
unty. ,
The NEWS-TIMES, the Beaufort News, private citi
zens, and the Beaufort Chamber
of Commerce have worked con
sistently in attempts to have the
road surfaced ? attempts ' that
seemed fruitless until this week.
Up until a few months ago
when motor graders began work
on the road its condition had var
ied from poor to terrible, depend
iqg on the degree of moisture in
the ground. School busses, auto
mobiles, trucks and every known
manner of vehicle have become
stuck in the mud when the going
got rough. An annual payroll
loss of thousands of dollars has
been estimated as a result of the
road's condition.
The Beaufort News, predecess
or to the News-Times, consistent
ly promoted paving of the road
for a period extending over 25
years. The Carteret County
News Times, successor to the
News when it was consolidated
with the Twin City Daily Times, !
continued the same editorial
policy. #
Since its creation the Beaufort
Chamber of Commerce has work
ed with other groups on the pav
ing project This past spring it
made a survey of road residents
in an effort to bring pressure on
the state to have paving begun. !
Announcement of the proposed j
bids was made this week from
Raleigh in conjunction^ with the!
highway commission's routine
monthly calling for bids. Work|
on 268 miles of roads costing j
$2,510,00 is planned under the
the September schedule of work. |
Bids on the work will be opened ;
by the Commission's engineering j
department September 27 at 10
a.m. in the Hall of the House. I
Acceptable bids then will be laid (
before Chairman Henry Jordan j
and the division commissioners at
a meeting September 20.

Beaufort commissioners at their
Monday night, meeting served
warning on several Front street
merchants that if they fail to carry
out their part of a contract in
volving parking meters in front
of their places of business, meters
will be installed immediately.
The commissioners' attention
was called to the June 28, 1948,
meeting at which W. L. Arring
ton, William Way, end Charles
and Oliver Davis, wholesale deal
ers, appeared and requested a
special privilege from the com
missioners. The merchants stated
that their places of business on
Front street ail had high leading
platforms necessitating clearance
from the street for a truck to back
up to them.
They requested the town to vyith
hold placing parking meters in
two parking spaces in front of their
buildings, a total of six meters,
and in return they would pay the
town $50 a year each for use of
the two spaces. The town board
agreed to euch an arrangement
and the fee was paid for one year.
Since the year ended, town clerk
William Hatscll reported, the town
has experienced difficulty in col
lecting fees for the second year.
He said Mr. Arrington willingly
paid the $50 but that representa
tives of the other two businesses i
stated that they thought the ori- 1
ginal $50 paid gave them a life
time privilege of retaining use of
the two parking spaces. There
fore, they said, they did not see
where they were obligated to pay
any more money.
-Town attorney, Wiley Taylor,
Jr., gave the opinion that the town
had no right to place parking me
ters in front of anyone's place of
business if it prevented the owner
from gaining ingress and egress
to his property. He said that when
they purchased property they au
tomatically gained that right.
Commissioners stated, however,
that the city o*ned the street and
sidewalk and therefore had the
right to uae'lt fcs it saw fit They ,
also said the three merchants had
entered into a contract with the |
town which would be broken if
the $50 was not paid annually.
Notification was given to the mer
chants that if the money were not
paid in 10 days, meters will be in
stalled.
At the sugegstion of Tide Water
Power Company manager. George
Stovall, the town board adopted a
simplified city electrical ordinance
i similar to that used by other muni
cipalities in the state. The ordi
nance has the approval and recom
mendation of William P Hodges,
state insurance commissioner, and
N. E. Cannady, state electrical en
gineer, Mr. Stovall said.
Commissioners expressed satis
faction with the work accomplish
ed by fhe town sanitation board
this summer. Some concern was
expressed, however, over sanitary
conditions adjacent to the home of
the Davis family on Live Oak
street. Tkose present stated that
the Davis's maintained their pro
perty properly while adjoining

tions this week that parenti of

boycotting a newly-consolidated '
high school at Buxton.
County School Superintendent R.
I. Leake would not admit that boy

school as "I would expect to be
but I'm sure when things get iron

The school controversy on North ?

from action of the State Board ol

tion to high schools at Hatteraa,
Avon and Buxton at Buxton.
Board officials pointed out that
there was ample space at Buxtoa
for the consolidated school and
that it was selected becauae ita
central location between Avon and
Hatteras, thus simplifying the
transportation problem.
They also pointed out that the 1
consolidation would provide an ac
