Mr. A. E. Fowler of Win

"The results 1 1 oni the 11150 ceu

great ikial of disappointment. It
is almost inconceivable to believe
that nr ie than the reported nuni
, . . r ? V uplc are not residents
| of Morehead City. This matter wa?.
discussed at length with the Board
of Directors and Membership of
the North Carolina Association of
Chamber of Commerce Executives.
Without exception, it was the op
inion of this group that the een
siis did not represent a true pop
illation figure in the States there
represented. The head ol the State
Census was contacted and informed
i of the situation. His opinion was
that there was absolutely no re
course for a recount or any corree- j
| live measures otherwise without a
special act of Congress involving a
considerable appropriation. It was
his opinion that this would not
be done.
