Smoke Clears in Furor Over 'Arrest Without Warrants' By Tuesday the smoke had clear ed regarding arreata without war rants. At least the State Highway Patrol got its feet back on the ground. After busy weekend consultation with Attorney General Harry Mc Mullan and talk of a special ses sion of Ibe legislature, Motor Ve hicles Commissioner Ed Scheldt announced Tuesday an "arreata aa usual" policy. Law enforcement officers throughout the state were thrown Into a tiny during the past week over a July 9 Supreme Court rul ing which stated that a drunk could not be arrested without a warrant unless he were disturb ing the peace. Nobody has yet explained why it took from July B to the middle of August for the law enforcement of ficers to got excited over the rul ing More head City police officers were advieed at a special meeting Monday afternoon to continue their "arrests sa usual" pbllcy, beating the state motor vehicles officials by a day in interpreting the law as not applying to motor vehicle viola tions. Town Attorney George McNeill called attention tn a state law which authorizes officers to "ar rest without warrant any person who in the presence of said offi cers is engaged in the violation of any of the laws of the state regu lating travel and use of vehicles up on the highway." More head City police were told to get warrants only in the case of public "peaceable" drunka. Until Commissioner Scheldt's an nouncement of "arrests aa usual" Tuesday, some highway patrolmen were continuing to stop drunken drivers, radioing back to their sta tion to get another patrolman to obtain a warrant and bring it to them pn the road. Whether the legialature will still take action on the matter of "peace able drunks" in January or wheth er the matter is now considered closed, is not known. But a spec ial session of the legislator* seems to have paaaed oompletely out of the picture As aaid Monday in the Horehead City police meeting, should an ar rested drunken driver later want to contest his arrest without a war rant, that's all light The interest *f the public would have been Servod la getting him off the high way. Judge's Order Stops Annex 4 Beaufort Board Withdraws Permission to Build Reel At a special meeting of the4 Beaufort Town Board Tues day night, Claud B. Wheat ly Jr., Beaufort attorney, presented the board with a petition objecting to the re cent action of the board in granting permission to build a temporary seine reel on the south side of Front Street in front of the postoffice. After a 30-minute discussion in which several of the 29 persons present voiced their opinions, the board withdrew permission to put up the reel. Mr. Whcatlt read the petition to the board. It aslwd that the board "protect the aesthetic values of the town, protect property from deval uation and generally preserve our present living condition by recon sidering recent action permitting seine reel and/or other instrumen talities of a view-blocking nature from being placed in the area south of Front Street, east of Queen Street which we believe is restricted for residential use only." The petition also asked that the applicant request a building per mit so that objecting citizens might be able to appear at the meeting ancf voice their complaints if they have any. 25 Sign Petition Twenty-five persons signed the petition. Eleven of the signers were present at the meeting. Signing the petition were Mrs. James Hcrrman, Mrs. A. J. Rose, Mrs. B. C. Brown, Mrs. Lutie Jones, Miss Mildred Jones. Howard Jones, Odell Merrill, Miss Lena Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Bell, Mrs. Lon Hill, Mrs. Bob Carr, Miss Gladys Chadwick. Mr and Mrs. 'C. R. Wheatly Jr., Mrs. Paul Jones, Mrs. A. V. #ier son, B. H. Stephens, Mrs. Mary E. Arrington, Miss Lessie Arrington, Dr. and Mrs. C. S. Maxwell, Paul S. Jones, James Davis and Mrs. C. R. Wheatly. After reading the petition Mr. Wheatly explained that in 1949 the Beaufort Town Board approved a zoning ordinance. He said the zoning ordinance is set up so that the people won't have to attend each board meeting to protect their rights and see that the board isn't passing motions which infringe on the property rights of the people. Leslie Moore, Beaufort, who orig inally brought the request before the board that permission be given to build the seine reel, explained that he thought it would cement relationships with the fishing fleet, from which the merchants benefit. He said, "1 had no bad inten tions. I just wanted to do some thing that would benefit the town in general." See BOARD.

Frizzelle, resident judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis trict, preventing the town of Atlantic Beach from attempt ing to annex the area between the present northern boundary of the town and Bogue Sound. The plaintiffs in the suit are Etta L. Willis, John Smith, and Lester N. Moore. Judge Frizzelle based his judgment upon the fact that mere art not ~a registered voters'* in the area nor have property own ers petitioned to be annexed. The town of Atlantic Beach, if it wishes to continue annexation plans, now has to obtain the writ ten consent of all property owners affected. The restraining order also pro hibits the mayor of Atlantic Beach, the town board or successors from exercising any political or govern ing dominion over the area. The judgment was signed by Judge Frizzelle Wednesday. Mrs. Willis, who is postmistress and owns the postoffice building as well as her home next door, said she did not have any grudge against the town, the town board, or the mayor, But she charged that Atlantic Beach has been trying to charge her town taxes when she is not in the town limits. She declared, "We just want to be left alone. I don't think any of the people in this area want to be annexed into Atlantic Beach." She also pointed out that per sons against annexation are pre pared for any future action the board may take. She added, "I think we can hold them off for a long time." Mrs. Willis said that other areas suggested for annexation, Ocean Ridge and Money Island, will fight it. She also charged that the map of the town limits which the At lantic Beach board sent to the State Highway Department in ap plication for Powell Bill Funds was not a true map of the town and some streets were included which i^e not a ?*? town limits Mayor A It. Cooper said yes terday that police and garbage ser vice to persona in the area pro posed for annexation has been stopped. He also said that some persons in the srea outside the town limits have been receiving tax notices by error. The town was not aware that they were beyond the corporate limits. Defendants named in the suit, Mayor Cooper, and the commis sioners, J. C. Lanier, H. W. Ander son, W. C. Whitehurst and Lorenx T. White, waived right to a trial and accepted Judge Frizzelle's rul ing ss a final judgment in the case. The beach town board will meet at the Ocean King Hotel at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
