Construction Law
May Affect Bridge
The latest National Production
authority order on construction
means that the state will probably
have to get NPA approval for most
of its future bridge projects, ac
cording to Chief Highway Engin
eer W. H. Rogers, jr. This may or
may" not delay construction on the
bridge from Morehead City to At
lantic Beach.
No one is sure how the new rul
ling will affect the state's huge
building program. The order re
quires the NPA's okay on all build
ing projects using more than 25
tons of steel on which construc
tion had not been started when the
order was issued.
Assistant Budget Director D. S.
Coltranc and Bureau Engineer ]
Frank Turner went to Wash
ington last week to "find out just j
where we stand."
"I don't know," Coltrane replied j
when asked if he expects any trou
ble in obtaining approval of build
ing projects at state ii^Mtutions.
Of the $125,000,000 appropriated
for building at state institutions of
the 1047 and 1949 legislatures,
about $25,000,000 is left.
Chief Highway Engineer W. H.
Rogers, jr., said it appeared the
highway commission would have to
get NPA approval for most of its
future bridge projects.
State Board of Education of
ficials said they did not anticipate
trouble under present conditions
in obtaining steel for school pro
jects. The state still has about
$65,000,000 worth of school con
struction in the planning stage.
Car. Truck Collide Friday
On Harkers Island Brad
A two-doo/ sedan and a pick-up
truck collided at 9:15 Friday night
on the Harkers Island road one
mile north of Harkers Island
bridge. No one was injured but the
sedan was damaged to the extent I
of $125 and the truck $50.
Driver of the car was Edward
Hyde Willis of Williston. Driving]
the truck was Mrs. Sam Chadwickl
Watson of Kinston. According to
Patrolman W. J. Smith, jr., who
investigated, Mrs. Watson made a
left turn as Willis attempted to
pass her. Both were proceeding
?oath.
No charges were preferred.

Hepler Cottage, j
Grab Point, Burns
Friday Morning
An early Friday morning fire,
spreading very rapidly, burned to
the ground the single story Hep
ler bungalow. Crab Point. Includ

in the dwelling at the time flames
broke out at 1:30 a.m.
The furniture belonged to Clyde
Hepler, son of the recently de
ceased owner of the house. He
was planning to move into the
house in a few days.
According to John Parker,
fireman, the house was "pretty
well gone" when Morehead City
firemen arrived. Only a smolder
ing frame remained of the wooden
building.
How the fire started remains a
mystery, but its spread was aid |
ed substantially by an exploding'
oil drum alongside the house. Cy|
Adams, returning from a dance, 1
saw the flames from the roadside!
and also witnessed the explosion
which followed a few minutes la
ter
Parker stated that people don't
realize the time it takes for More
head City firemen to answer out-of
town alarms. Before they could
leave the station eight minutes had
elapsed. Permission had to be
obtained from the mayor. "It takes
time to get in contact with town
officials," he said. "On in-town
calls, we're down the pole and
out the door in a minute!"
