Hurricane Damage Group
Endorses River Clearance
Endorsed Wednesday afternoon <
by the Carteret County Hurricape
Damage Committee was a proposal
to have the Newport River cleaned
out through the Newport and Mill
Creek area.
C. S. Long, Newport, a member
of the committee, said that the
river is so clogged with debris and
rock that water, pushed up to the
head of the river in storms, has no
place to get out except to flow
over the banks.
David Jones, soil conservationist,
said the project can be financed
with government funds set up un
der the small watershed act.
Mr. Long commented that the
state, Marines, and everybody else
rushes in to help save summer
homes at the beach "but we can't
get a shovelful of dirt out of New
port River."
Under the long-range proposals
for preventing future storm dam
age to farms, the committee also
recommended that areas where
land is apt to be flooded by salt
water, should be diked.
Estimates Reviewed
The committee reviewed the esti
mates on damage to crops on coun
ty farm land and upped the dollar
value of tobacco lost in Connie
and Diane to $700,000. The per
centage of the crop damaged re
mains, however, at 40 per cent.
B. J. May, ASC manager, said
that the annual tobacco crop in the
county is worth two million dol
lars and thus a 40 per cent loss
would increase the figure from the
$494,000 originally set. Damage to
farm buildings and homes was esti
mated at $100,000, damage to
ditches $200,000.
Mr. Jones said it was hard to
tell how much damage was caused

Firemen Answer
Calls Tuesday
Morehead City firemen answered
a call to the Morehead Theatre
and to Charlie Wallace Rose's
_JjQUSC at CraJ> Point Tuesday.
Early in the afternoon the fire
men went to the theatre where
they were told a fire started by a
welder, was already out. The weld
er was working somewhere in the
theatre area, according to Engineer
Mack Edwards.
The Rose home, located on the
old Will Laughton farm, was dam
aged when wiring to the electric
stove caused a fire. It is believed
a rat may have chewed off wire
insulation. Damage to the kitchen
was estimated at $100.
Firemen were called about 5:15
pm. and stayed at the home 20
minutes. Water from the 500-gallon
tank was used to put out the blaze.

2,400 Goats Take
Up Residence
On Open Grounds
The livestock population of Open
Grounds Farm increased this week
by 2,400. Shipped in from Texas
Tuesday, in 16 cattle cars, were
2.400 angora goats.
Milks Georgina Yeatman, Beau
?fwUlnaar ol the Open Ground
Farm, said the goats will be shear
ed twice a year. Grown only for
their wool, all the goats are
wethers (males). There won't be
any raising of kids.
The goats have been turned loose
to graze on the vast Open Grounds
acres. Miss Yeatman said goats are
known to thrive quite well in this
section, but there aren't many of
the angora type in eastern Caro
lina.
Earlier this summer 3,515 sheep
arrived at the Open Grounds farm.
They too were shipped in from
Texas in cattle cars. Two Texas
sheep herders employed at the
farm will also look after the goats.

place, as well as weddings, recep
tions. dances, and parties.
Looking very sprightly for her
94 years, Ma is still very much the
hostess and still regards her home
as open house to anyone and every
one.
Ma stated that her graadmother
as well as her parents were all na
tives of Beaufort, Mid her grand
father was from Stockholm. Swe
den.

Nelson Lewis.
Ma and Pa Taylor had six chil

Ma has 12 living grandchildren,
29 great grandchildren and three

Another child whom she reared
is now Mrs. Mafy Thomas of Bal
timore, whose mother, neariag
death, gave the youngster to Ma.
Ma also helped rear two other or
phan children
Her home at 303 Ann St. has
been an open house to everyone
for as long as Ma can remember.
She can well remember when
her husband had two sharpies and
all the children would go for rides
on the boat and then would wind
up the day with a visit at the Tay

She told of one occasion when
they heM a cake-walk at the house

When Pa wanted to come courtln' ,
he used to send notes asking per

ry the notes. Ma said, "It certain- ,
ly is different now!"
Organised Bank
Pa was a storekeeper originally '
and then went Into the shipping
business and was the organiser of
the first bank in Beaufort.
He liked all the girls, said Ma.
"and ao 1 got to like all the boys."

The play will be sponsored by

sional Women's Club and will be

auditorium the latter part of Oc
tober. Rehearsals will start Mon
day night.
The Community Theatre has also
heen requested to present a skit
at the October meeting of the
Literary and Art Department,
Morehead City Woman's Club.
? Carolina Water Co., which serves Beaufort, Morehead
City and Snow Hill has filed an application to increase
its rates. The request was placed before the State Utilities
Commission Thursday.
C. W. Williams, Morehead City manaper of the com
pany, said yesterday that the firm has asked that the rates
f be doubled. For example, if a*
I water bill now is $6. it will prob
ably run about $12 or a little less.
If the utilities commission allows
the rate requested, it will be a
lower rate than now exists in many
towns the size of Beaufort. More
head City and Snow Hill, Mr. Wil
liams commented.
High Operating Cost
At present the company's cost of
operation is 87.2 per cent of gross
revenue when actually operating
?osts. before taxes, depreciation,
etc., should be about 50 per cent,
iie said.
Carolina Water Co. reports it has
operated at a loss during the first
vear since purchase of the water
systems from Carolina Power and
Light Co. "And we have operated
economically as we could," Mr.
Williams said, "because we knew
there would be no profit." July 1,
? 955 concluded the company's first
vear of operation here.
As far as can be determined, the
manager said, there has been no
change in water rates in this area
since 1932 "But everything else
lias gone up," Mr. Williams point
i?d out. "In 1932 you could get a
laircut for about 25 cents and to
lay a haircut is three or four times
that. So even if we get what we
isk for, a doubling in rate, it
wouldn't be comparable to the in
crease on other items in the past
23 years."
He pointed out that materials
have increased in cost, as has labor,
and growing towns have required
expansion of water lines.
Rates at Present
The rates now are $1 minimum
and 3.125 gallons for $1. After that
the first 5,000 gallons cost 32 cents
per thousand. From there, the
scale goes downward to 14 cents
per thousand gallons.
The increase requests a $2 mini
mum and the iirst 5.000 gallons for
$2. then a grading downward in
cost. ?" ?(
Attorneys presenting the case tor
Carolina Water Co. before the util
ities commission are Joyner and
Housman. Raleigh.
Mr Williams said that if new
rotes are opposed, the company
may put the new rates into effect
immediately and should the utili
tics commission refuse the in
crease, a rebate would be made.
Should there be no opposition
and approval seems to be forthcom
in# within a reasonable length of
time, the company said it would
wait for the commission s decision
before putting the new rates into
effect.
Outtage Could Not Be
Carried Out Wednesday
Although the weather was fine,
the power outtage planned for
Wednesday afternoon down east
could not be carried out as sche
duled.
George Stovall, manager of Car
olina Power and Light Co. here,
said that a new bridge being put I
in on Highway 70 at Havelock
caused a snarl in power plans and
I the three-hour cut-off scheduled
J for this county had to be cancelled.
"If nothing happens to change
it," he said resignedly, "we'll have
the outtage this coming Wednes- j
! day, Sept. 7, from 1 to 4 p.m."
