NEWS-TIMES OFFICE 504 AtwmUII St. City ?-4175 CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES ??< 43rd YEAR, NO. 74. EIGHT PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROUNA TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 14, 1964 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Southern Officials Make Two-Day Inspection Trip Here Marines Leave Morehead For Mediterranean Duty County Grapples Again with Open Range Problem The county commissioners lock ed borns again yesterday with the issue of cows and horses running loose on Core Banks. Claud Wheatly, Beaufort attorn ey, told the board that the matter has been hanging fire for a year. He informed the board that the state attorney general, Harry Mc Mullan reversed in April a former opinion in which he had said the county could not call for a refer endum on the matter. Mr. Wheatly requested that the board pass a resolution calling for a referendum which would permit the residents on Portsmouth to vote when they go to the polls Nov. 2. The Portsmouth residents don't want the cattle roaming at large. But the cattle and pony owners, all of whom, according to Mr. Wheat ly, live on the mainland, don't want to fence them. Alvah Hamilton, county attorney said that a referendum would mean that the 13 people living on Ports mouth could vote against open range and that would mean that 22 miles of grazing territory from Drum Inlet north to Ocracoke would be lost "all because of a handful of people living on 100 acres of land at Portsmouth," he declared. He said that the law could not be enforced unless there were a fence. He objected to Mr. Wheatly's sug gestion that Drum Inlet and Ocra coke Inlet be natural barriers. "If the Portsmouth people want the cattle fenced, I want to know who's going to pay for4hat faaee," he announced. "If th*- county has to pay for it out of taxpayers' money, I'm going to see to it that they don't pay far it- unless it's ordered by the court," he con tinued. Mr. Wheatly said that a later law has been passed that will put the cost of the fence on the Portsmouth residents. Mr. Hamilton said he wanted to look up the law and there the matter rested.

Mr. Hamilton pointed out that permission for building the pier would be denied by the Army Corps of Engineers only if a gov erning body of the county object- 1 ed, because the engineers are in terested in objections only from 1 the navigation standpoint.
