Dugari and illustrated with paintings by\ John Dukes McKee, the article; terms Ocracoke "one of the lone-i liest and most primitively beauti* ful stretches of beach on the East coast." The story, with pictures, covers nine pages of the pocket size mag azine published each month by the Ford Motor co., Michigan. Included among the color pictures is a scene of fish houses at Atlantic where the boat leaves each day for Ocracoke. Other pictures show the post of fice, nets tlrying. a part of Silver Lake with the light house in the background, Blackboard's head quarters, now overgrown with shrubs and vines, O'Neals harbor, and several others. Among "Supplementary Notes on Ocracoke" at the close of Mr. Du gan's article is the following item: "I heard from Mr. C. F. Boyette, manager of Wahab Beach hotel, of a sad coincidcnc experienced by a family named Gaskill during the war. One of their sons had ship ped out on a tanker from New York bound for South Amertefc when a German submarine sank it off Dia mond Shoals* (just 20 miles north of Ocracoke). "The family had no news of the sinking or their son's death until one morning the father was put ting out from his pier in Silver Lake (around which Ocracoke is built) to tend his nets when he saw a board caught in the piling. It was a section of a cabin wall on uhich the boy had mounted his mate's license. "That board, with the license still perfectly legible, had drifted around Ocracoke Inlet, up Pamlico Sound, into Silver Lake and up a gainst hi# father's pier. A week later the family was notified of the sinking." Copies of the Ford Times may be seen at Ford dealers. Milk lip The price of milk in this area went up this week to 23 cents a quart, an increase of 1 cent BeanfoH Board Adopts Budget nfart Imun a three-hour meeting Tuesday night adopted the budget for 19A0-5I. The budget under which th $ towt will operate during the current fiscal year underwent revision as 0* re sult of a visit by George Franklin, League of Municipalities exiert. Revenue expected for this lear now stands at $59,829 and expenses at the same amount, as compared with $63,754 in the original bud get. Total valuation of town prop City is $2.112 086 Commissioner .f O. Barbour, aft er making the motion to adopt the revised budget, remarked that means of getting additional reve nue for the town must be discussed at the next board meeting. Recommendations Dan Walker, clerk, said that Mr. Franklin told him last Wednesday morning that Beaufort should cut the number on the police force to i two, raise the tax rate to $2. sell I one of the fire trucks, get rid of one of the garbage trucks and put j the fire department on a strictly volunteer basis, if it hopes to pull ; out of its present condition. fn regard to the revised budget Mr. Walker said he believed that adopting it was the only thing the1 town could do at present and the commissioners agreed with him. Commissioner Barbour emphatic ally stated, however, that the town ! was living beyond its means and action must be taken to get more money. The board authorized the town j clerk to use every means possible j to collect back taxes. By law, per- j sons living anywhere in this state | who ov\c taxes in Beaufort may i have their wages garnisheed. Mr. Walker expressed the opinion that j $500 additional revenue will prob | ably be obtained in franchise taxes. The commissioners were told that Mr. Frgnklin said the town was losing money on sewer cut-ins and in the future that work should be done on a cost plus basis. The clerk was instructed to ob- i tain a ruling from the attorney ? general on what moving stock | (fire trucks, police cars flk 'i> an insurable liability. It wis Mf. Franklin's belief that the town is carrying unnecessary insurance. Commissioner Barbour suggested that the clerk and town attorney look in*o the North Carolina Lea gue of Municipalities group insur ance plan for town employees as a means of increasing employees' re muneration. Will Ask for Bids The clerk was instructed to ad vertise for bids on selling gas to town vehicles at a retail place of business or installing a tank solely for use of town rolling stock, this tank to be filled by a wholesale dealer. . As a member of the town finance committee. Commissioner Barbour requested that all town depart ments make every effort possible to watch small expenses. Tide Water Power company has informed the town that a saving of $6.68 a month could be made by having only one meter in the fire department instead of three. The commissioners recommended that three electricians be asked to give estimates on putting the whole town building, fire department and town hall, on one meter. The commissioners were inform ed again that the town has $45,000 of bonds due in 1954 and only three years in which to raise that money. In reply to a question by Com missioner D. F. Merrill as to what would happen if the town couldn't raise it. Attorney Wiley Taylor said a federal court would appoint a receiver who would come in and raise the tax rate or do anything necessary to get the money. "What if he couldn't get the money," asked Mr. Merrill. "He'd sell property until the a mount was obtained to satisfy the bondholders," declared the attor ney. Budget Cuts Budget cuts were as follows: $520 cut from administrative budget; $650 from general expense: $373 from police department: and $310 from the street department. It was necessary to increase the fire department budget $162 to See BEAUFORT BOARD.
