Beach Board
(Continued from Page 1)
In other business before the
board, Joseph M. Farlow Engineer
ing firm was put under contract to
plan the fire-fighting system for
Atlnatic Beach.
Estimate Given
Mr. Farlow estimated that the
system, including central tank, hy
drants, and pipes would cost ap
proximately $55,000.
The board had originally set an
estimate of $50,000 for the fire :
protection program and their esti
mate had included a fire truck.
The board decided to let Mr. Far
low start on the engineering plans
and set a figure later.
A second reading of a franchise
presented by S. A. Horton to op
erate the water system at Atlantic
Beach for the next 20 years took
place.
The board granted Mr. Horton
the franchise.
Protest Pier
Dr. Heath Nesbitt, Judge J. L.
Fountain and Morehead City attor
ney Harvey Hamilton Jr., appear
ed before the board and requested
that the board protest the build- '
ing of a 1,000 foot-long fishing pier
at Money Island.
Mayor Cooper explained that the
town board had no authority over
property owners at Money Island.
Attorney Hamilton said the dead
fish thrown off the pier would hurt
the bathing facilities at Atlantic
Beach as well as at Money Island.
Mr. Hamilton showed the board
several petitions which were signed
by residents of Money Island.
Mr. Lanier proposed a motion
which said, "The erection of a fish
ing pier will adversely effect the
property values of the adjacent
properties and operation will be
detrimental to the bathing beaches
now used in this area by the pub
lic."
The board passed the motion.
Patience Pays
Off in Water
Kansas City (AP) ? A. A. Keel
ing likes to have plenty of water
for his garden, but not at the steep
water rates in Johnson County.
And once he decided to dig his own
well, IS feet of solid rock and a
chorus of neighborly derision
couldn't stop him.
Keeling guessed there was water
beneath his basement when he no
ticed that a hydrangea bush near
his garage was blooming despite a
searing drought last summer.
He devoted six months of spare
time labor to the project, which
cost him $25. He improvised tools
a? lie went along. To cut through
the layer* of rock he used bits
made of iron from an old railroad
car axle. To drop the bita against
the rock he rigged up an apparatus
consisting, largely, of a carpenter's
sawhorse and a 12-foot plank acting
as a lever.
Now he pipes abundant water to
his garden.
