Beard (Continued from Pa^e 1) holes in the streets should either be fixed satisfactorily by CP&L or the town will fix them and bill CP&L. George McNeill, attorney, said that^ the power company should also get a permit from the town before digging up the streets to fix water mains, lie pointed out that the town doesn't know where the water people are digging or what they're doing and if a street is not closed properly and an acci dent occurs, the town could be ' sued. I The clerk reported that at one i time the power company always | not permits to open the streets but I they don't anymore. | Attorney McNeill suggested that I the. town also consider the prob- \ lem of businessmen tearing down , curbs to make entrance-ways -to their places of business, such as garages or used car lots. He point ed out the removal of a curb means removal of parking space and should the business close, the town i would then be responsible for ? replacing the curb. The attorney was directed to draw up an ordinance requiring anyone who wants to alter public property such as curbs or sidewalks to get the approval of the street commissioner and then a permit from the town clerk. If the street commissioner has doubt about the proposed change, it was suggested I that permission be withheld until the matter could be taken before the board. Ordinances Okayed The commissioners approved two ordinances, one controlling struc tures placed within a mile of the i town limits and the other specify- i ing one-way traffic on Arendell i ! street westward on the north side | r Call cabl ?

The commissioners authorised payment of $200 in settlement of a law suit btought against the town by Harvey and Pearl Hamilton. The Tide Water Power company, now CPStL, was named as de fendant in the suit also The liti gation was the outgrowth of dam age to the plaintiff* home, caused by alleged neglect of the town re garding drainage. At the request of 1. E. Pittraan, vice-president of tbe First Citizens Bank and Trust company, the board approved the installation of an electric alarm system which would directly connect the bank Ailh police station. In the absence of M. T. Mills, building and grounds commission er, bids on repair of the town ball were tabled, as was a bid on a new boiler. Kids Opened Bids on new police cars were re ceived from Robert L. Rose Motor company, Sound Chevrolet Com pany, inc., and Parker Motors, all Morehead City firms. The town asked for bids on the basis of trad ing the present patrol cars, one a '50 Ford and the other a "SI Ford. The bids from Sound Chevrolet were not considered because the president of the company is a member of the town board ind the board, by law, is prohibited Irom doing business with one of its membera. Rose offered an allowance of 51.100 on the '50 Ford and $1,300 on the 'SI: Parker offered, in trade [or l'lymouths. $1,200 on the '50 Ford and $1,350 on the '51. The clerk slated that cost to the town on the Rose proposition would be SI, 518 and cost to the town on the I'arker trade would be $1,316.08. The board directed that the Par ker bid be accepted providing a new car, in trade for the 1951 pa trol car, be obtained in 30 days, ind the other car in 80 days.

The government also engineers any le gal proceedings necessary for ob taining the land, if such proceed ings are required. The national seashore park on the outer banks of North Carolina has been talkdl for the past 15 to 20 years. St rat ton told the com mission Saturday that unless the state acted within the next 30 days to match funds the federal govern ment can obtain through the "bene factor," he felt confident the en tire matter would be dropped. Boundary Discussed Mrs. Roland McClamroch asked Stratton whether the federal gov ernment has considered moving the northern boundary of the proposed park farther south than stipulated in 1950. At that time the northern boundary was a bone of conten tion. Stratton said the federal govern ment was not willing to take only part of Hattera* island. * There is a crying need," he explained, "for access to a beach area without trespassing on someone's proper ty." It is the federal government's objective to make the park acces sible from the north without tra versing an area of private property built up with bingo stands, honky .tonks, or summer cottages. Appearing before the commis sion to protest the plans for a na tional park was Calvin Meekins of Avon. Addressing George Ross, chairman of the board of conserva tion and development, who was presiding, Meekins said, "I don't want a national seashore park at Hatteras and I think the people, who don't want the park either, have ably demonstrated that. Let the people ? private industry, de velop the land. I wish this board would consider the wishes, of the people." Ross asked if Meekins under stood that the residents' present hunting, and fishing rights would be protected even if the park pro posal went through. Meekins said he was aware of that. "I was for the park 15 years ago just to get a road through there and now since we have the road, we don't netd a park," Meekins re vealed. Maj. J. L. Murphy, commissioner from Kill Devil Hills, asked Mee kins if he wasn't aware of the fact that the HatteraS people might have gotten a road because of ihe state's efforts to promote a national seashore park on the outer banks. Meekins said he didn't know about that. David Stick, Kill Devil Hills, chairman of the Wright Museum* committee, asked Meekins if 4?e. knew that in several spots along the outer banks, "at some of the best fishing places" private proper ty owners are putting up no tres passing signs. Meekins said he knew that too, but that those were only one or two places. He was not swayed by the suggestion that one or two places may grow to hundreds in the course of years. Approves State Park Meekins said that before going farther with the national park he wants the commission to meet at Hatteras and invite the people. He added that he was in favor of a state park. After Meekins had spoken, Ross explained that taxes would be col lected on private land as usual, but there would be none collected on land owned by the United States and that North Carolina would hold concurrent jurisdiction with the United States. Major Murphy, in a question di rected to Stratton, asked how long it would be, after the land was ac quired, before the federal park service would start making im provements. Stratton said no im provements could begin until money was appropriated by the first Congress meeting following actual acquisition of the land.

Representing the state park? di vision at the meeting were Thomas Morse, superintendent of state parks and Ferd Davis of Zebulon. They aasurt-d the commission that the state parks division would re lease $.10,000 set up recently for a state park at Cape Hatteras. The state also has another $88,000 which was set up years ago in ? land purchase fund for a Hatteras park.
