Postal Service to Western Part
Of Carteret County Improves
For the first time in the history
of Carteret's postal service, same
day mail delivery is available from
the Morehead City post office to
Swansboro, Stella, Pelletier and
all points on route 24.
Heretofore all mail destined for
those points was routed to New
Bern, thence to Warsaw from
which point it was delivered by
star route 48, and frequently 72
hours after mailing in the More
head City office.
Mail classifications entitled to
this new maximum eight-hour ser
vice are THE NEWS-TIMES which
is handled as first class mail, par
cel post bearing special delivery
stamps and, of course, all first
class mail.
Announcing the new service, Har
old W. Webb, Morehead City post
master, gave all credit to John S.
Jones of Cedar Point whose study
of postal routing produced the
achievment.
Mr. . Jones discovered several
weeks ago that New Bern sent
a mail pouch to Maysvillc each
morning whence it was distributed
by RFD delivery to Swansboro,
Stella, Pelletier.
On reporting his discovery to
Mr. Webb, the postmaster request
ed the privilege of routing More
head City mail destined for the
southwestern portions of the county
via New Bern and Maysvillc. The
request was immediately granted
by postal authorities.
Mail for those points must be in
the Morehead City office by 8:15 in
the mbrning.
Mail posted in the Morehead City
office before 10 a.m. reaches all
eastern points of the county, Ports
mouth and Ocracoke, the latter is
land is in Hyde county), the same
day.
Same day delivery is thus avail
able from the Morehead City office
to all points in ninety-mile long
Carteret county ? from Swans
boro to Ocracoke.

1951 Law Lifts Taxes on All
Seafood Except Oysters
The 1951 North Carolina legislature dropped a bomb
on the state commercial fisheries department, but the de
partment didn't know it until this month.
The general assembly inadvertently repealed all leg
islation providing for licensing and taxing of every type
of seafood except oysters, thus cutting fisheries division
revenue $25,000 annually.

commercial fisheries division of
the Board of Conservation and De
velopment, said that he believes
the taxes cannot be restored until
the next meeting of the legislature.
One-Third Cut
The yearly fisheries division
revenue has been cut one third,
Kirkpatrick said. "They have cer
tainly crippled us," he declared.
"Some of the taxes have been sent
in, but we've had to turn them
back. We can't take anything
that we are not entitled to by
law."
The tragic legislative error came
to light in the office of the com
mercial fisheries division within
the past several days.
Section Repealed
Kirkpatrick said that in review
ing the laws which have just been
printed and mailed out from Ra
leigh, he noticed that all of sectjon
164 has been repealed. The fish
eries committee had asked that a
portion of that section, relating to
the oyster tax. be stricken, because
provision for the oyster tax is in
cluded in another section. How
ever, according to the law enforce
ment officer, all of 164 was wiped
off the books.
"I wanted to read the laws be
fore they were enacted," Kirk
patrick declared, "but I was not
given the opportunity to do so."
He said that the slashing of rev
enue for the commercial fisherie?
division means that they will have
to get rid of personnel and curtail
use of lots of essential equipment
. . unless the governor helps us
out with the emergency fund," the
law enforcement officer said.
Lifting taxes and thereby reduc
ing to a trickle the lifeblood of
the commercial fisfieries divisiw*
will not put more money in the
pockets of fishermen, Kirkpattick
explained, because most of the tax
money was collected from dealers.
"It will merely mean more mon
ey in dealers' pockets," he said.
No meeting has been conducted
by the commercial fisheries com
mittee in regard to the revenue
error. Kirkpatrick stated that as
yet the situation is not generally
known.
