Ocracoke Citizen
Decides to Run
For Legislature
By ALICE RONDTHALER
C. F. Boyette, Ocracoke, hu an
nounced his candidacy for the next
aession of the General Aaaembly
as Hyde County'a representative.
Mr. Boyette's announcement was
received here with enthusiasm and
many of his frienda at the county
seat in Hyde have expressed them
selves favorably in his behalf. Mr
Boyette ia a graduate of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, class of
1918. He waa born in Wilson Coun
ty. reared in Johnson, and taught
'for IT years In Johnson, Vance,
Cumberland, and Jones counties be
fore coming to Ocracoke School
aa teacher and principal ia 1941.
Since 1M3 he haa been manager
of th? Wahab Village Hotel, and
in that capacity haa become ac
quainted with people not only from
hla native State, but from alt
? The parking meter reared its square head at the Beau
fort town board meeting Monday night and bestowed an
other headache ou the town fathers. The new parts de
signed to make the meter work in accordance with the
"nickel only" state law, only partially work.
Jack Kicks, parking meter mechanic, gave a demonstra
tion of his troubles. A nickel go-t
ing into the meter registers an
hour, but another nickel put in
right alter the first makes the
meter show white permanently.
(Red indicates that time is out).
Dan Walker, town clerk, was in
structed by the town board to write
the parking meter company and
explain the trouble. The commis
sioners also advised the mechanic,
Mr. Hicks, not to start making
changes until the correction is
made. New plates for the front
of the meters, specifying time dur
ing which the meters are in opera
tion and the charge for parking,
have also been ordered.
Under the new Beaufort parking
ordinance, a nickel will buy an
hour oi time. The tovsu board Mon
day night also ordered that street
signs stating that parking is limit
ed to one hour ouly should be
bought. They will be placed in the
downtown area where parking
meters are located.
Beaufort and Morehead City have
agreed that the new parking ordi
nance shall go into effect in both
towns simultaneously. Morehead
City has stated that their meters
are expected to be changed over
and ready to operate by Feb. 15.
Lemuel Mason, a mechanic who
operates a garage at Cedar and
Orange streets, appeared before the
board and said that the ordinance
prohibiting parking between the
sidewalk and the curb is causing
hiin a hardship because he no
longer has a place to put the cars
he is working on.
The ordinance was passed. Mayor
Clifford Lewis explained, to pre- 1
vent the town property between
the curb and walk from being cut
up into mud holes. The commis
sioners requested the town attor
ney to study the ordinance to see
whether something new might be
worked out.
It was suggested that property
owners might request the town to
let them pave the section between
the curb and sidewalk, thus making
an unsightly condition less prob
able. Mr. Mason said he couldn't
afford to do that.
** " Insurance Needed
"'Commissioner Gerald Hill was
appointed to investigate insurance
i coverage for drivers of town ve
hicles. A letter from the Depart
mcnt of Motor Vehicles informed
| the board that under the new Safe
ty Responsibility Act each driver
must be covered. Commissioner
Hill was given the power to buy
i the insurance without consulting
i with the board.
Commissioner James Rumley
said that he understood a state
highway patrolman was stationed
in Beaufort but |he patrolman <k>e*
not live there. He said the town
board should take the proper steps
to see that the patrolman is sta
tioned where, he's supposed to be.
He also suggested that the curb
corners at the Turner and Ann
street intersection be rounded.
The town decided that if Clyde
Peterson owns the land by his
home where he wants the sidewalk
taken up, the town will move it.
Mr. Peterson requested at a pre
vious board meeting that the walk
be removed. The town attorney
was asked to investigate the land
ownership.
In regard to buying a speed
clock, the clerk said that two cases
are now pending before the Su
preme Court on the legality of the
devices. But the board felt that
use of a speed clock would be bene
ficial and authorized that the town
purchase one in conjunction with
Morehead City if Morehead City is
willing.
The cost of the speed timing
mechanism would be included in
the 1054-55 budget.
Through the clerk, Charles Noe
requested that the town maintain
the alley connecting Front and Ann
streets in the first block of Ann.
Mr. Noe, according to the clerk,
says the water settles in the alley
and then drains under his house
and that all sorts of vehicles use
the alley as a thoroughfare.
Right of Way Waited
The town board felt that they
could do nothing about the alley
until they got a right-of-way which
would entail all property owners
on the alley consenting to provide
the proper width for an alley and
to allow the town to maintain it.
The town attorney, Gene Smith,
was given authority to file Judg
ments on '32 taxes and to foreclose
on judgments filed on '91 taxes and
prior. Commissioner Gerald Hill In
quired about the life estate proper
ties in Beaufort. The town clerk
said that because the properties
were listed as "eatates" they were
improperly listed. They had to be
re-llsted before taxea could be col
lected and then taxea could be col
lected back only ai far as five
years.
Laying of the drainage pipe from
Ann to Front in the TOO block was
discussed Oray Haaaell, town en
gineer. aa|d 2 J more sections of
pipe are nested to complete the

water from collecting in the 700
block of Ann in heavy rains. Five
prisoners were used in digging the
ditches and laying the pipe. Mr.
Hassell said that the town clerk de
served a lot of credit for the
handling of the prisoners because
had they broken their suspended
sentence conditions they would
have been sent to prison camp and
they weie of considerable help in
getting the job done to its present
point.
The clerk and the town board
commended the street department
for their part in laying the mam
moth concrete drain pipes.
Commissioner Hill announced
that he had a complaint that po
lice officers are "discriminating,"
that they see some people break
ing the laws and don't arrest them.
He said a man complained to him
that an officer saw l?im violate a
law and made no effort to turn
him in.
The chief of police, M. E. Guy,
took issue with the statement, say
ing that all the officers have been
directed to enforce the law with
no exception. The commissioners
commented that the man who com
plained to him about not being ar
rested would probably have been
the one to scream the loudest if
he had been arrested. Chief Guy
said everybody breaks laws but it's
not passible to arrest and convict
them all.
Inspects Wiring
Commissioner Carl Hatsell re
ported that he inspected the wir
ing in the town hall and "it's the
biggest mess that ever was." He j
said it would cost $200 to fix it up.
The board authorized Mr. Hatsell i
to proceed with fixing the wiring
providing the cost does not exceed
$250 and the money is to come out
of 1954-55 income.
Mayor Clifford Lewis warned
that if any more is spent out of
next year's income, there won't be
anything left and the new fiscal
year hasn't even started. Fluores
cent lights for the town hall are
also to be paid for out of the com
ing year's budget.
The board gave permission for
the clerk to attend a school for
municipal accountants at Chapel
Hill the last week in February, cost
not to exceed $50.
The clerk announced that the
town had sent a wreath to the fam
Iv of the late Jessie Pickett whose
half brother. Sam, is a town em
playee.
Commissioner Rumley was un
usually quiet Monday night. Said
he didn't feel good. But he sug
gested that the hole on Ann street
in Ffont of Will Potter's be fixed,
he said Carolina Power and Light
is always digging into the street at
that spot.
Fire Cop&owssioner J. P. Harris
said the new rural fire truck is in
use an<1 invited the mayor and com
missioners to a demonstration of
the truck on the old Ben Noe farm,
highway 101, Wednesday afternoon.
The town clerk announced that
the audit for 1952-53 has been com
pleted through November. Albert
Gaskill, Morehead City accountant,
is the auditor.
The motor grader owned by the
state, which the town authorized
purchase of at their last meeting,
had been sold by the time word
was gotten to the state that Beau
fort wanted it. It was a used grader
and the town was hoping to buy it
for $500.
Officials attending the meeting
were the mayor, town clerk, chief,
of police, town attorney, the fol
lowing commissioners: W. G. Tem

Mr. Hill, Mr. Hataell, and the itreet
