sion for increased telephone rates."

ports at Morehead City and Wil

survey should be made to deter

C of C and Town Board Request
Unit Allocation Explanation
A request that work on 20 units
of low eost housing, scheduled for
construction in Morehead City, be
delayed until Beaufort receives a
proportionate share of the units
granted Morehead City, was made
Monday by members of the Beau
fort Board of Town Commissioners
and members of the Beaufort
Chamber of Commerce.
The request was made to H. E.
Powell, executive director of the
Eastern Carolina Regional Housing
Authority at Coldsboro.
Powell was in Beaufort to dis
cuss with members of the two or
ganizations the reasons why Beau
fort had not received the 20 units
of housing originally scheduled to
be built there but now scheduled
for building in Morehead City.
Says Land Not Available
The housing director executive
told the group that it was his im
pression that there was no land
available in Beaufort, which would
meet the standards set up by the
housing authority, which could be
used for construction of the low
cost housing unijts. He said that
several tracts of land had been con
sidered but that to the best of his
knowledge, none that were suitable
could be obtained for the housing
development.
The members of the town board
and the chamber of commerce ar
gued that such a tract of land was
available but information concern
ing it was not communicated to
Powell by Skinner Chalk, sr., More
head City, who acts as an agent in
buying land for the housing au
t^prity.
According to Dan Walker, Beau
fort town clerk and manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, the search
for a site which would meet the re
quirements of the housing authori
ty had been fruitless until October,
1951. At that time, Walker says,
Chalk inquired if the town board
would take into the corporate
limits of the town adjacent proper
tS if such ^uitabl* property could
be found. /!??! b? *td agreed to do
this and Chalk was notified.
Site Now Vacant
Walker says further that S. A.
Chalk, >r., and John Chalk, a mem
ber of the staff of the housing au
thority, visited a site which they
stated they believed would be ap
propriate as a building site for the
housing units. That site, now va
cant, is located at the end of Cedar
st.
The town clerk, the town board
and the Chamber of Commerce re
port that nothing further was
heard from this visit. Around the
first of September of this year, ef
forts were made to have a repre
sentative of the housing authority
visit Beaufort and explain why the
project was not proceeding.
According to Walker, these ef
forts were not successful until yes
terday and that visit was made pos
sible only through the efforts of
Congressman Graham A. Harden.
Walker also says that he was not
informed until sometime around
the first of September that the 20
units which had been assigned to
Beaufort had been assigned to
Morehead City.
Powell told the groups that the
