Action on Paving
Beaufort Streets
A delegi.ion of six residents
from the Broad and Fulford street
section of Beaufort appeared be
fore the town board in Beaufort
Monday night and requested that
their streets be repaired. "We
can't even keep our feet dry," they
told the board.
"Between now and the last of
October those streets will be pav
ed," Mayor L. W. Hassell told
them. "All our s(?rets couldn't be
paved at one time," the mayor re
marked. "If I go back as mayor,
the only purpose I have in mind
is to gst the streets paved.
"All the paving that has been
done in this town, approximately
12 miles in the. past two months,
has not cost the town a cent. And
we're going on until we finish!"
One of the women members of
the delegation called attention to
the deep holes on Broad street in
front of I.eaman Eubanks and her
house. Water stands in the streets
and in heavy downpours it runs
right up to the fiqfet door, the
town board was told.
Attending the meeting, which
was held on the eve of election,
were O. T. Mundy and R. M. Chap
lain. candidates for town commis
sioner.
When they entered the town hall,
Commissioner J. O. Barbour refer
ring to them, said, "These men
should be congratulated for com
ing out and offering to serve their
community."
Prior to that he remarked that
it's a sad commentary on the com
munity of Beaufort that (he people
who should step forth and serve
won't do so. He cited the town
of Mount Olive as a case in point,
saying that there it seemed as
though everybody was running for
office, the newspaper was fiill of ad
vertisements of men seeking elec
tion.
"1 owe it to the voters, also," he
said, "to let them know that a
vote for me is a vote for the issues
this board has stood for." Barbour
was re-elected to the board Tues
day.

Carter Broad, shrimp specialist:
with the Institute of Fisheries Re"
search, today released statistics on
shrimp catches made by the Rob
ert E. Coker, institute trawler, in
tests during the past two weeks.
The catches at the mouth of the
Newport river by day have been
1.1 pound per hour, at sunset 7.9
pounds per hour, and at night 12.1
pounds per hour; in Core Sound,
daytime, 4.1 pounds per hour, at
?Ufiftet H pounds per hour, and at
pound* per hoar; in the*
stfaits between Marshallberg and
Markers Island, daytime, 1 pound
per hour, sunset 5.7 pounds per
hour, at night 16.3 pounds per
hour.
The shrimp taken are the com
mercial spotted shrimp only. No
other species has turned up in the
trawl. Broad stated. He also ex
plained that the above figures are
probably the minimum. Because
the Coker draws 5 feet, it cannot
work in many places where the
commercial shrimpers work and in
shallower places the catches are
usually larger, he pointed out.
Broad said that the Coker first
located brown shrimp in market
able size April 20. Prior to that
time, however, some small shrimp
turned up in crab trawls. The sta
tistics given by Broad are on
shrimp unheaded, 55 count.
The information revealed in the
test trawling from the Coker, will
be ft:-nished officials at the shrimp
hearing at 10 o'clock this morning
in the commercial fisheries build
ing, Camp Glenn.
