as, Swansboro, and Mr. and Mrs.-*
L. C. Graw of Newport.
Both applicants said that they
had filed the necesaary papers with
the state but that they needed
permission of the county board be
fore they would be granted a li
ce nsf
Alvah Hamilton, county attor
ney, read the law which stated that
it is mandatory for the county to
grant a license if the applicant is
of good character, a legal resident
of the state, 21 years of age, and
without record of having violated
the prohibition law during the two
years prior to his application for
a beer license.
Commissioner Moses Howard
said that there is objection to the
Graws obtaining a license. He said
a delegation had been to see him
that morning, asking that the coun
ty board block the Graws' request.
He said that residents in the
neighborhood where the Graws ex
pect to sell beer, about a mile
north of Newport on Highway 70,
state that they thought the place
where the Graws are located was
for a home site only.
Sheriff Hugh Salter said that he
had received the Graw application
to sign, which would clear the way
for the Graw license, but he had
not signed it.
Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, chairman
of the board, contended that the
board could not block the request
for beer licenses unless the appli
cant had failed to comply with the
qualifications required by law.
He said that after a place is in
operation and if it can be proved a
public nuisance, it could t>e closed.
Commissioner Howard said that
there would be a great deal of ob
jection if the license were granted
the Graws.
Two I^ose Licenses
The driver's license held by
David Pickett, Morehead City, was
suspended during August, accord
ing to the North Carolina Safety
Division, and the license of Harry
Foster Taylor, Newport, was re
voked.
Board
(Continued from Page 1)
posed place for the pier for the
past 10 years.
George Ball, Morehead City at
torney, spoke for Wilbur Finch
who proposes building (he pier.
Mr. Finch was also present.
Mr. Ball said that the recrea
tional opportunities here are one
of the major things this area has
to offer. He said all protests voiced
were those of commercial interests
and none were in the interest of
the public welfare.
He said that Mr. Courie himself
once wanted to build a pier at
Money Island and at the place pro
posed a business had been operated
in the past. He also said there is
adequate parking space. After stat
ing that the Morehead City Cham
ber of Commerce has endorsed the
building of piers in this area, he
presented letters from town offi
cials of Carolina Beach and the
chamber of commerce there.
The letters termed fishing piers
a definite asset, a recreational fea
ture that lengthens the tourist sea
son by two and a half months, a
means of increasing business, and
no detriment to sanitation, appear
ance or any other natural beach
feature.
Mr. Ball said that the man low
on the wage-earning scale shouldn't
he denied the right to fish. He
said Dunes Club members have
their own boats, their own summer
cottages and can hire a partyboat
to take them out to fish but the
average man has to depend on dol
lar a day fishing piers.
No Objection
He also said that the owner of
the Triple-Ess pier has no objec
tion to another pier being built,
"because he knows the recreational
advantages of such piers."
Mr. Finch told the board that he
had two businesses and a home in
Kinston which he disposed of to
come here to build the pier. As
for business competition, he cited j
Triple-Ess as his only competitor |
Two Cars Ram
Together Friday
Two automobiles collided it (:40
Friday morning on highway TO
?ear the East Drive-In Theatre.
One ear, a Henry J, was driven
by Mrs. Louise L Styron, Davis,
and the other, a Studebaker, waa
driven by Mrs. Elmer Lee Davis,
Markers Island.
Mrs. Davis said she slowed down
because telephone men were mak
ing repairs to the wires and were
signalling motorists to reduce
speed She said she slowed, but
Mrs. Styron. approaching from the
rear, apparently didn't aee the sig
nalman nor realize that Mrs. Da
via was slowing down and ran into
the rear of the Studebaker
Damage to the Davis car was es
timated at $47 and damage to the
Henry J at $300
Mrs. Styrpn was alone in the car.
Riding with Mrs. Davis were Miss
Frances Willis. Miss I.avina Guth
rie. both of Markers Island and
Wilson Davis, Straits. No one was
hurt -jJ
and repeated that the owner has no
objection to a new pier.
Commissioners E. H. Potter and
Taylor s^id they didn't see how
they eould object to a man coming
here and wanting to start a busi
ness. Mr. Ball told the board that
there would be an investment in
the pier of $50,000 which would
mean more tax revenue for the
county.
Dr. K. P. Bonner, chairman of
the board, suggested that all the
evidence presented the board be
given the Corps of Engineers. But
his suggestion was shelved in favot
of a suggestion by Alvah Hamilton,
county attorney, that the board
visit the proposed pier site, as well
as the Triple-Ess pier and judge
the merits of arguments for them
selves.
?Dr. Bonner said that any further
arguments for or against the pier
would be heard at the Oct. 4 ses
sion.
