M. D. Newton, contractor, who was contacted to give an estimate on installing the system, has not made any further move toward putting the system in, the mayor said. Efforts to get in touch with him have failed, he told the board. Laurence Vickers of Carteret Realty co.. Morehcad City, who has agreed to handle the building of homes in the proposed veterans housing project at Newport, told the board that he had to have as surance that water would be sup plied there before applications are matte to the Federal Housing ad ministration for loans. Possibilities Discussed Several possibilities of getting witer at the housing project were tttaCUssed, but Vickers suggested that a final effort be nik-le to con tart Newton. Installation of the water system by a private contrac tor would be preferable, he said to ahy other method. ? Leslie Haskett, president of the (.Berry Point Veterans Mutual Housing cooperative, and Marvin Wilson, a director, were at the board meeting "in an attempt to find something out." they said.

He moved in Sun day a week ago without bringing even so much as an overnight case. Although the few permanent residents at the lab were rather skeptical about letting the fellow stay. Dr. Henry Kritzler. resident investigator, welcomed him with open arms. After all, it isn't every day one finds an octopus in first class shape.

Dr. Kritzler surmises that the sudden cold retarded the octo's maneuverability and the tide carried him away from his natural habitat which was probably the rocks of a jetty. "He's absolutely harmless," the scientist explains as he tickles the critter's head and twines his fin gers around the tentacles while the octopus curls himself in the corner of one of the large tanks in the lab. Although there arc probably quite a few octos in these waters, there arc only two instances known of persons at the Duke lab catch ing tjicm.

Beaufort Board Considers Raising Tax Rate 20 Cents Beaufort town commissioners set Monday night, Dec. 18, for a meeting to consider the raising of the tax rate from $1.80 per hundred dollars valuation to $2. The motion to affect the increase, effective Jan. 1, 1951, was made Monday night at the regular monthly meeting of the town board in the town hall, but the motion was not seconded. Commissioner J. O. Barbour made the proposal. Com Firemen Accept Town Board's Decision on Truck Members of Morehead City fire department voted unanimously Tuesday night to accept the Four Wheel-Drive fire truck which has been ordered by the town. This vote followed explanation of the town board's opinion on the matter presented by Mayor George W. Dill and Commissioner D. G. Bell. The fire department expressed displeasure at the type of equip ment ordered by the town several months ago and the visit of the mayor and commissioner Tuesday night was made at the request of a committee of firemen in hopes of getting the matter straightened out. The mayor told the firemen that legally the town had no right to request bids on a fire truck which fitted equipment manufactured by any one company, and neither had the fire department the right to specify the equipment manufac tured by any one company. They had the right, he said to specify certain features desired and needs of the department as they saw them. Mayor Dill said that the board made purchase of the truck they felt would best fill the needs of the town now and in the future. The order for the FWD truck is still in effect and its cancellation would not only mean loss of money, but loss of time in getting the new equipment. Commissioner Bell remarked that the last time new fire equip ment was purchased only one com pany was making fire equipment and there was no choice to be made as to what type of truck should be bought. He further stated that if the firemen are not satisfied with the truck, which should be delivered in about 30 days, efforts will be made to correct faults they may find with it.

Wiltr Will Be Col Off Sunday, Manager Decides The water was not cut off in Morehead City cast of Bth street Wednesday afternoon as announc ed Tuesday. George Stovall. manager of Tide Water Power co , decided Wednes day it would work too great a hard ship on bu Aess houses. The shut off has been scheduled now for 2 to 5 Sunday afternoon to enable installation of a water hydrant at 7th and Arendall at. missioner Graham Duncan said he knew the tax rate should be raised but he was not going to second the motion. Commissioner James Rum ley said he thought the absent com missioner, Cliff Lewis, should be present, and Commissioner D. F. Merrill said if they raised the tax rate that night he wouldn't go on the street Friday after the paper came out. For Debt Service Commissioner Barbour's motion also specified that the 20 cents ob tained by a raise in tax rate should be earmarked for the debt service fund. "I'm very reluctant to make this motion. All the property I own is in town, and if I knew of any other thing to suggest to raise money, I'd certainly do it," Bar bour declared. The 20-cent raise in taxes would bring in approximately $4, (KM) a year. Town Clerk Dan Walker es timated. The necessity of finding addi tional sources of revenue for the town was discovered early this fall when George Franklin, counsel for the League of Municipalities, dis covered that Beaufort was operat ing on debt service fund and on taxes not collectable until the fol lowing year. Franklin pointed out that if the practice continues, the town would not be able to meet bonds payable in 1954 and the towq would he taken over by the bonding com pany. Living Cost Up Commissioner Barbour remarked that the cost of living has risen 178.0 per cent since 1939, but the town's income has not risen ac cordingly. He added that parking meters have brought in a little bit, but they are still not paid for and income from sources other than the tax levy is insufficient. The commissioner said that Mon day afternoon one of the town's creditors phoned to him and told him that he, the caller, was just a small businessman and couldn't afford to do business on credit, and would the town please pay him. Commissioner Barbour said he told the man that the town would pay him if it could, but they simply didn't have the money. More and More Bills In talking against delaying the tax rate discussion until a later meeting, Commissioner Barbour declared: "Bills are coming in, more and more every month, we owe everybody and we've got to do something!" At that point the town clerk said that the fire department suggested that a small light be put in the re cessed part of the building between the town hall and the fire depart ment where the entrance to the jail is located. It would prevent, he said, the use of the recessed portion of the building as a toilet and the loiter See TAX RATE, Page Three Commissioners Say Town Pomp May Be Fixed Board Considers Fire Dis trict Boundaries; Pays For Top Soil Sam Darling of Beaufort was authorized to fix the town pump at Front and Turner st., providing the trouble with it is above ground ana can be fixed at little expense. Darling appeared before the town board Monday night and told commissioner* there has been no water at the pump for two weeks. He said "even people from More bead come over here to get water and people stop me on the street anil ask why don't 1 fix the pump. Commissioner J. <>. Barbour said he knew that water flowed spas modically. Darling said that there was absolutely no water. "I was there the other day and pumped about 20 times and all that hap pened was the handle flying up and down!" he declared. Commissioner Barbour said that maybe all the pump needed was new leathers and if so, he d do nate them to the cause. Smith Appointed The board named Gene Smith as civil defense director for Beau Specific boundaries of the town s fire district were nut set pending investigation by the commission ers. Cilenn Adair, businessman of Craven St.. brought the fire dis trict matter before the board He said that according to law he can't repair a warehouse because it is located in the fire district, yet town ordinances or minutes do not clearly specify which is fire dis trict. , , Decision Deferred The only facts uncovered by Adair, according to past board minutes, arc that the tire dis trict runs north from Front st.. 110 feet on Turner. 250 feet on Craven and ISO feet on Queen. It was sug gested that the district be extend ed to Ann St.. but no decision was made. , Commissioner Graham Duncan said the town owed Roland Ellison $35 for hauling top soil for the newly-planted azaleas. Commissioner Barbour remark ed. "1 thought we agreed to get the dirt if it wouldn't cost anything.' Commissioner Duncan said that Mayor Lawrence Hassell and Com missioner D. F. Merrill decided that it would probably he cheaper to pay someone $5 a load to haul the dirt than to use the town trucks which are on the verge of falling apart. If they broke down while hauling the dirt, it probab ly would have cost the town more in the end. Commissioner Dun can explained. To increase the town s income, the town clerk, Dan Walker, said sale of scrap paper to Fry Roofing co., is being considered. Commissioner L. Y.
