The local Government Commis

posed town-wide water system for
Newport, Mayor Leon Mann Jr.
reported this week.
Town officials conferred with
W. E. Easterling, secretary to the
Local Government Commission,
. following their March meeting.
| The commission's approval is re
! quired as a guard against a town's
entering financial ventures with
' which the town would be unable
to cope.
i The water system, designed by
a High Point engineering firm, in
' volves extending water mains to
I supply city water to all parts of
, Newport. Cost of putting in the
, system will be $120,000.
, The money to meet the expense
would be borrowed and paid back
? partially through revenue from
. operation of the water system.
Approval Needed
Installation of the water system
will require approval of voters,
; Mayor Mann said. Voters regis
; tered at Newport total 287. The
I mayor said voters will probably

I on installing the water system

C. C. Tilley, with the firm of
? William r. Freeman Inc., en
I glneers, has described the system
I proposed as follows:
"The system as laid out it
planned to include and utilize ex
isting lines now in the ground. The
system as planned will furnish
fire protection as well as donees
tic supply to the greater majority
of the present residents of New
port.
"In order to furnish water stor
age of ample quantity, a steel ele
vated tank and tower of 75,000
gallon capacity on a 100-foot tower
is proposed ... the water supply,
estimated at 225 gallons a minute
is considered as being sufficient
for the time being, and the only
revision proposed is to rework the
pump so that it will pump into

Atlantic Mother Speaks
On Behalf of Red Cross
Mrs. Ira Morris Jr., Atlantic, ?
speaking in behalf of the Ameri
can Red Cross, said this week, "I |
shall always be thankful to the
American Red Cross for replac
ing the roof of our home follow
ing the hurricanes.
"When your husband is a fish
erman," she continued, "and the ,
wind has taken the roof off your
house and it is raining on your (
family and furniture, a helping
hand means a lot.
"I would like to express my '
thanks to the American people |
who support this organization (
which stands ready to serve the |
people in time of disaster."
Mrs. Morris is the mother of ,
three children.
Mrs. G. T. Spivey, Beaufort, Red
Cross fund chairman, reminded
countians yesterday that the goal
during the Red Cross Roll Call
this month is $4,480 in Carteret.
She reported that 485 families in :
the county were helped by the Red
Cross following the hurricanes of
1954 and 1955.
Mrs SDivev said. "PerhaDs if
you were among the lucky ones, !
and either had no damage or had
insurance, or could make your own
repairs, you might feel that you
were not helped by the Red Cross;
however, when $75,000.00 is put
into a community as small as ours,
it helps a lot of people.
"Contractors, laborers, mer
chants, all shared in this relief.
Did you ever stop to think about
how we would have managed as
a community, if we had not had
the Red Cross come to the aid of ,
these 485 families?"
Contributions may be mailed to
Mrs. Spivey, Beaufort, or to
Charles C. Willis, Morehead City.

day morning.
The company, which operates a

Neighbors were complaining that
six cars "and half of another car"
were being burned, as well as rub

that town law forbids burning
more than one car at a time.
