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.
