Board to Recommend Sale
Of Section Base Property
The sale of approximately two
thirds of the section base property
at Morehead City now being used
as headquarters for the Commercial
Fisheries Division will be recom
mended iu the State Boaid of Con
servation and Development when
it meets Monday and Tuesday in
Asheville.
Ben E. Douglas, director of the
C&D Department, said a special
committee which has been study
ing the question for two months,
has decided to recommend the sale
of about 22 of the 37 acres and all
of the buildings on the property ex
cept one.
The department, he said, intends
to keep the docks and the building
now used by the Institute of Fish
cries Research together with about
15 acres of land. With the proceeds
from the sale, it is proposed to put
up a new permanent building to
serve as headquarters for the Fish
eries Division.
The Budget Bureau told the
hoard at its meeting in Morehead
City last July that the section base
property was uneconomical to
maintain and recommended that
plans for its disposal be studied.
The board set up a study commit
tee made up of Eric Rodgers of
Scotland Neck, Cecil O. Morris of
Atlantic and Henry Kankin of Fay
etteville.
If the committee recommenda
tions are approved by the board,
three large buildings and a num
ber of smaller ones will be sold
with the 22 acres of land. The
buildings to go on the auction block
include the present headquarters
building.
Among other matters to be con
sidered are a proposal to set up the
Travel Bureau as a separate di
vision to be known as the Tourist
Bureau, the signing of a contract
for an inland ports survey and the
choosing of a name for the minerals
museum to be located near Spruce
Fine.
Ocracoke-Hatteras Bus
Operator Reports on Rules
By Alice Rondthalcr *
Ocracoke Mr. Charlie McWil
! liams, operator of the llatteras Oc
i raeoke Bus Line, made a trip to
j Raleigh last weekend and returned
; with a good amount of definite in
j formation from the North Carolina
Utilities Commission about his
franchise to carry mail, passengers,
and freight between Hatteras and
Ocracoke.
According to printed rules and
regulations governing the route s
operations, one round trip will
be made daily during the winter
months, and I wo round trips during
the summer months. Straight fare
each way including ferry and per
sonal baggage for each person 8
years of age and above will be
$1.90; under 8 years of age, free.
Freight rates are figured accmrtf
, Ing to size of packages and weigF
VThe mail arfd passenger truck is
required to endeavor to maintain
its published schedule, but is not
liable for delays caused by acci
dents, breakdowns, bad condition of
roads, snow storms and other con
ditions beyond its control. Rules
and regulations arc provided lor
refusal to transport objectionable
persons, such as those under the
I influence of intoxicating liquors or
| drugs.
| Rules concerning transportation
! of dogs, cats, and other live an
I imals are restrictive, except in the
I case of "Seeing Eye Dogs" travel
I ing with blind persons, when prop
erly harnessed and muzzled,
i Baggage will not be checked,
but will be left in the custody of
passengers.
Mr. McWilliams, as reqquired by
the Commission, carries liability in
surance of $50,000.
The present winter-time sched
ule is as follows: mail truck leaves
Hatteras daily except Sundays at
12:15 p.m., arrives at Ocracokc
about 2:45 p.m.; return trip, leaves
Ocracoke 7 a.m. arrives llatteras
about 9:45 a.m. The mail does not
travel on Sundays, but special ar

McWilliams for a Sunday trip.
Mr. Frazier Peele operates the
ferry, making the trip over from
Hatteras each day except Sundays
at 8:15 a m. and 12:15 p.m. Mr
Peele makes special trips upon ar ,
rangement.
Asked whether he heard any ru
mors in Raleigh about the proposed
Coastland Highway, Mr. McWil
liams, said, "Nothing definite, but
some think we might get a little
pavement at the other end next
spring or summer."
Until a paved road extends all
the way down the ten-mile reef
to Ocracoke Village, only persons
with four-wheel-drive jeeps or cars
are certain to reach Ocracoke with
out delay or mishap, and even such
must be experienced sand drivers
This summer and fall the beach
and the so-called "inside road"
down the Island have been in the
worst condition known in many
years.
Navy Wants to Use Morehead Port
To Dock 'Baby Aircraft Carriers'
Morehead City ? (AP) ? The
Navy wants to use the Morehead
City port (or docking "baby air
craft carriers," Col. George W. Gil
lette, executive director of the
State Ports Authority, said today.
Gillette, reporting on a aeries of
conferences in Washingtog this
week at which he sought to have
the channel leading to the local
port deepened, said he was opti
mistic that federal agenciei will
agree to the work here. 1
Army engineers in a recent sur
vey of the state port terminal here
approved plans for widening the
channel to the aea, enlarging the
ship-turning base and increasing
the depth from 30 to 32 feet.
More Depth Asked
But Gillette objected, saying in
creased shipping tonnage and anti
cipated increases require a depth
of 35 feet. A total of 215 ships have
docked here this year. '
He pointed out that the Navy
wants to bring "baby aircraft car
riers" here if the depth is increased
to 35 feet. At present fully loaded
oil tankers have to await high
tide to cross the Beaufort Inlet
bar.
Noting that ships are now being
built with deeper drafts, Gillette
said If Morehead City la to remain
a principal port of entry it must
have deeper water.
