there was enough money in the
present budget to pay the salary of
an additional officer for four

Carolina Ports authority, to inspect
the Morehead City Port terminal.
He is Phya Komarakul Montary,
who landed by plane Nov. 1 in this
country. This is his first visit to
America in almost 30 years, he
said.
"1 am especially interested," he
told THE NEWS-TIMES, "in the
operation of your port terminal
here, because it is state operated.
"All the ports in Thailand,"
Montary continued, "are run by the
government."
The Siamese commissioner said
he was in this country for one pur
only ? to learn all he could
al out American port operations. He
refused to discuss internal condi
tions in his native land.
Montary was educated at London
university in Britain. The first
word in his name, Phya, is a noble
title which he said was untrans
latable into English.
Colonel Gillette is host to the
distinguished visitor while he visits
here and the port of Wilmington.

Town Board Acts
On Street Matters
The town board of Morehcad Ci
ty voted Tuesday night to pave one
block of 11th street next to the

ers also passed a resolution giving
the slate highway commission
right-of-way on 24th st. for the con
struction of an approach to the
new bridge.
Dr. John W. Morris, commission
er, suggested that large signs, in
the shape of policemen, be placed
two or more blocks from the ap
proaches of the Morehcad City gra
ded school in order to give motor
ists a longer period of time to slow
down. The board concurred.
Mayor George W. Dill added that
the stationing of a patrolman in
the middle of Bridges in front of
the school would be advisable so
that the children could cross in
the middle of Bridges instead of
at 11th and 12th streets. No action
was taken.
The board left to the discretion
of the mayor and the town clerk,
John E. Lsshlcy. the selling of
?everal 33-foot ladders used by t)w
