March Court Term
County commissioners in month
ly session at the court house yes
terday morning heard three year
end reports, handled tax matters
and drew the jury (or the March
term of superior court.
Reports on department activities
(or 1951 were given by Dr. N. T.
Knnett, health o((icer, Miss Geor
gie Hughes, weKare superintend
ent, and R. M. Williams, county
farm agent.
William Way and W. V. B. Pot
ter Beaufort, appeared and re
quested that the valuation on the
Beaufort Ice eo. be reduced from
$8,00? to $5,000. They were asked
to present their request at the
board of equalization meeting
March 17.
Resolution Passed
This gave rise to passage of a
resolution by the board to the cf
feet that no valuation changes
would be made during 1952 other
than at the board of equalization
meeting. Tax requests will be con
sidered bv Dr. K. P. B. Bonnej,
chairman of the board, said that
absolutely no valuation changes
will be m.-.de after the March 17
meeting.
Two men owning marsh land re
ceived tax reductions. They were
K W. Gaskill. owner of the Loren
zo Gaskill property, Sea Level, and
J Gordie Stvron, owner of the for
mer J. II. Salter property. Sea
Level. Gaskill's reduction was
Yrom $104 to $52 ami Styron's
$97.50 to $48.75. Both were for
years 1936 and prior and the reduc
tion was made subject to approval
by J. F. Duncan, attorney in
charge of collecting back taxes.
The board emphasized that the
reductions were being made solely
on the basis that the property in
auestion was "worthless."
W. L. Lockey, Newport RFD,
said that he received a notice (or
taxes which he said he was assured
had been paid in the course o(
making a business deal on the land.
The board removed interest and
penalties, reducing the tax to
$64.34!
The same settlement was made
in the case of Warren Gillikin,
North River, who was represented
by M Leslie Davis, Beaufort. The
board accepted $59.04, subject to
immediate settlement and apprdval
by Duncan.
Mrs. Cli(ton Lawrence offered
$40 in settlement of $81.10, taxes
for years which she said she was
informed were not collectable.
Fifty dollars was accepted for
taxes, 1936 and prior, owed by
Joseph W. Salter, Hackers Island.

meeting. . . ...
The board agreed to accept $75
in settlement of taxes owed by
George A. Rose, llarkers Island.
The county agreed to deed back to
? The audience, though smaller
than in previous years when the
Little Symphony appeared here,
showed intense appreciation of the
music presented by the 24 musi
cians at Beaufort school Thursday
night.
Hundreds of school children from
throughout the county heard the
free concert Friday afternoon. Or
chestra members spent the week
end in the county, headquartering
at the Jefferson hotel.
The printed program for Thurs
day's Concert appeared in the form
of a souvenir booklet. Appearing
in it were pictures of the orchestra,
conductor, members of the board
of trustees, the tour schedules for
both the little and full symphonies,
list of community chairmen, or
chestra personnel and advertise
ments from business houses
throughout the state.
As encores Thursday night the
orchestra played two narrative
numbers, The Waltzing Cat, and
Clink, Clank, Clunk. The third
encore was a number by the con
temporary Russian composer. Ka
balevsky. Excerpts from Kabalev
sky's The Comedians were also pre
sented on the regular program and
though extremely brief formed one
of the evening's highlights.
Also outstanding was the over
ture from Rossini's opera Italians
in Algiers. Haydn's well-known
Clock symphony was performed as
the second number on the program.
The second movement, which
comes forth with the defining clock 1
theme was slightly ragged around
the edges but the other movements
were preesnted as expertly as possi
ble for a 24-piece orchestra.
Other numbers were Berlioz' Bal
let of the Sylphs from The Damna
tion of Faust. Wagner's Walther's
Prize Song, Mozart's Rondo for
Glass Harmonica, the Knights
bridge March (Coates), meditation
from Thais (Massenet), and Fr#nz
Lehar's Gold and Silver Waltz.
During an interval in the .second
half of the program Dan Walker,
manager of the Beaufort chamber
of commerce, expressed apprecia
tion to members of the Junior
Woman's clubs of Beaufort and
Morehead City for making the con
cert possible, and thanked persons
who support the symphony by buy
ing memberships.
He stated that concerns seeking
locations tor new plants ask what
cultural advantages are available
in the community. In recent years,
this query has risen from 14th to
third place in importance. The
chamber manager added that Beau
fort was proud to be able to list the
appearance of the Little Symphony
among Carteret's cultural features.
