Morehead City
Proposes Plan
On Rural Fires
Commissioners Suggest
That Rural Folks Get
Additional Insurance
The Morehead City town board
has suggested that persons living
beyond the town limits of More
head City obtain fire insurance to
help cover the cost of the town fire
department answering rural calls.
Mayor George VV'. Dill empha
sized this week that the town's
policy on answering out-of-town
alarms has changed in no way
whatever. Fire equipment will go
out of town if permission is ob
tained from the fire chief or the
mayor (as in the past), but under
the proposed plan an additional
fire insuasnce premium would help
defray the C06t of answering the
call.
Letter Drafted
A letter, signed by the mayor
and the fire chief, Eldon L. Nel
son, has been printed and will be
distributed to persons living with
in a limited radius of Morehead
City.
The letter follows:
"You probably do not know that
the insurance department will per
mit you to purchase from your Fire
Insurance Agent an added protec
tion on your property.
"For a service charge of $1.50
added to your present fire insur
ance premium, you will be given
fire protection from the Morehead
City Fire Department at no extra
cost to you.
"Under the terms of this agree
ment your Fire Insurance Company
wiH pay the Fire Department for
each call to a fire on your premises.
.The only cost to you is. as stated, a
service charge of $1.50 per year
added to your present insurance
premium.
"See or call your Fire Insurance
Agent today and notify the More
head City Fire Department when
this has been done. This helps the
Fire Department to help you with
your fire protection problems."'
Advantage Cited
Under the proposed plan, per
sons carrying the insurance would
be listed with the fire department.
It a fire occur$ on tljeir property,
the equipment may goJdut of^town
immediately WITHOUT^ waiting
for permission from the chief or
mayor.
Mayor Dill explained that those
carrying the insurance would, in
effect, be entering into a contract
with the town. He added, however,
that state law will permit the fire
department to enter into a limited
number of contracts.
The town is investigating the ex
tent of the limit. Should the limit
be exceeded, fire underwriters
would require that more equipment
be obtained. Unless the equipment
were bought, fire insurance rates
would go up. The mayor said the
town is not interested in expand
ing its fire-fighting facilities on the
basis of servicing rural calls.
The rural areas affected, accord
ing to John Lashley, city clerk, are
as follows: to the Airport Grill on
highway 70, to Gales Creek on high
way 24, all of Crab Point including
the loop from the end of the Crab
Point Road west by the golf course
to highway 70, east to the Beaufort
draw across Gallants Channel, At
lantic Beach east to Fort Macon
and west through Salter Path.
The insurance proposal was pre
sented to the town board by the
fire chief Thursday night. The de
cision to inform rural property
holders, by letter, of the method
of getting added protection was
made following a conference of
John Baker, Morehead City insur
ance salesman, Fire Commissioner
Ted Garner, the mayor and the city
clerk.
Creosoting Plant Comes Here
A proposition that will prove a
boon to farmers of this area is the
new creosoting plant to be put in
operation west of Morehead City
near the junction of highway 70
and the loop road that leads to
Crab Point.
Owners of the plant are Roy Eu
banks, Beaufort, and Henry Holt,
Beaufort-Morehead City causeway.
The plant will be operated by Cecil
Mason, Morehead City.
Mr. Eubanks and Mr. Holt
bought tho plant from Joe Elkin of
Durham and Cherry Point who
started its erection several weeks
ago. They said that they hope to
have it in operation very soon, as
soon as more equipment arrives.
R. M. Williams, county farm
agent, said a creosoting plant in the
county would be of benefit to
farmers, especially the cattle farm
ers who do a lot of fencing. He
commented on the fact that the
! pine for posts is readily available
*-noxo Dy ?voy tuoanKs
but farmers have not been able to
get them ereosoted here. Creosot
ing the posts protects them against
rot.
The posts, Mr. Williams said, can
be peeled by the farmer and taken
to the plant. There they are sub
jected to high steam cleansing
then coated with creosote, a deriv
ative of coal or wood tar.
Mr. Eubanks reports that Mr.
Mason has had previous experience
in the crco6oting business.

present a stage show instead of a
talent show. This decision was
made Monday night on the recom
mendation of Wiley Taylor Jr.,
chairman of the committee select
ed Feb. 8 to make arrangements
for a talent show.
Mr. Taylor reported at the Jay

cided that a stage show would be
best.
Plans are proceeding to present
"A Womanless Wedding" and a

events, but no action was taken.
It was also suggested that the
club contact WNTC-TV at Green

proceeds. No action was taken.
Army Engineers Explain
Proposal to Tax Fish Nets
Wilmington, N. C.? The Depart
merit of the Army's proposal to
collect a fee for the right to use
fish traps, pounds and similar
equipment in navigable waters does
not apply to drift and drag nets.
This announcement was made to
day by the Wilmington District,
Corps of Engineers, which is
charged with keeping navigable wa
ters free of obstructions.
The proposal was posted in prom
inent locations throughout the
coastal area a few weeks ago. Its
intent is to reclaim, through the
collecting of fees, some of the
cost of issuing permits for the
building of piers, wharves, and sim
ilar structures on navigable wa
ters.
Even though the original notice
included "Fish Nets and Pounds ?
Gill Nets - $25 00 (and) Traps and
Pounds *50.00," it was not intend
ed that the proposal apply to drift
nets, drag nets and such other
equipment which is not station
ary and thus may be moved so as
not to impede navigation.
It is intended that the propoMl
apply to those areas where a per
mit is required to fish with station
ary trap* and neta.
C. Gehmann Holland, assistant
fisheries commissioner, told THE
NEWS-TIMES yesterday that ha
has taken the matter ot tee pay
' np with the attemey general
of the coastal ana, Cwtyle. 1
Bonner and Barden look into the
matter.
He expressed the opinion that if
fees muit be paid to the Army
Engineers they will not be on an
annual basis, but will be paid only
once. He added that there may be
only one place in this state where
the engineers' proposed ruling
would apply.
Any objections to the fee propos
al should be directed to the Chief
of Engineers. U. S. Army, Wash

present.
Mayor llibbs said the officials
told them that the highway will be
laid out as it is presently surveyed.
Newport businessmen and others in
the town were of the opinion that
the highway should go through
Newport, following its present
route.
Mr. Markham told the Newport
people that it would probably be
several years before actual work
on the highway begins.
The route highway 70 follows at
present is through the town of
Newport. State highway engineers
say It would be impractical to try
to put a dual-lane highway there.
The proposed route skirts Newport
on the west. At present, highway
70 approaches Newport from Cher
ry Point and the north, then from
Newport it curves eastward.

to agriculture or to get one passed
which was favorable to our needs.
