? Officials of the town of New
port. defendants in a legal action
to block installation of a town
water system, filed a demurrer at
the courthouse, Beaufort, Thurs
day. The demurrer, an answer
stating that the allegations do not
constitute cause for complaint, was
filed by the town attorney, George
W. Ball.
Plaintiffs are Jeff J. Garner and
others who arc against the town's
having a water system, in spite of
the fact that a majority of the
town's voters approved it in a
referendum Sept. 4.
The request by Attorney Ball
that the action be dismissed will
be heard before Judge Chester
R. Morris at the November term
of Superior Court.
The plaintiffs charge (hat the
election was not properlv conduct
ed and that a town ordinance and
other procedures leading up to the
election were not according to law.
The demurrer says, in essence,
that the complaint fails "to point
out how any of the alleged irregu
larities affected or changed the re
sults of the election."
Charges that ordinances and
election procedures were not ac
cording to law have no basis in
fact, according to the demurrer,
and another allegation regarding
taxes ils termed "vague and, mean
inglcss."
No where in the complaint, the
defendants say, do the plaintiffs
show that the town officials acted
with anything but good faith "and
without fraud."

Attends Show
Warren Beck, president of
Sound Appliance Co., attended the
1957 Frigidaire appliance show at
Roanoke, Va., last week.
? Morehead City residents living'
on unpaved lawn streets or in areas
without sewers may have both if
they are willing to pay for them.
This was the word from Gibbie
Sanderson, street commissioner,
this week. Mr Sanderson said that
all paving which has been done
during the past few years has been
done at the expense of residents
living on the street.
He added that other paving will
be done under the same condition.
| If residents in a certain block can
! get together and decide they want
their street paved, they should con
tact Mr. Sanderson or notify the
town board.
Cost Apportioned
An estimate will be made of the
cost of the job and this will be pro
rated among residents along the
street. They will then be asked to
deposit their share uf the cost, for
example $100 per property owner,
with the clerk or the city treasurer,
at the municipal building.
When cach resident has paid his
share, the town will authorize a
contractor to do the paving. The
j town will make no charge for grad
i ing the street and preparing it for
paving.
Mr. Sanderson made it clear that
no paving can be done until the
town has in hand the funds to cov
er cost of the job.
Where sewer lines exist, proper
ty owners need only pay a tapping
fee to receive sewer service. Where
no sewer lines exist, property own
ers may request laying of lines if
they arc willing to pay the cost.
Same Procedure
The same procedure, as in pav
ing, should be followed. After no
tifying the town that all property
owners have agreed to pay for
sewer lines, the town will make an
estimate of the coat, pro-rate it
among the property owner; and
proceed with the Job when every
owner has paid his share.
Mr Sanderson said that cost of
laying a sewer would be no less
than $100 per property owner.
The town has had to undertake
this means to lay streets and put
down sewer lines bccause town
funds arc insufficient to do the
work.
Mr Sanderson may be contacted
by phoning 6 3059. the town clerk
may be contacted at the muncipal
building or a representative of the
property owners may contact the
town board when it meets every
third Thursday night.

and may take some time, but the
checks will be in the mail as soon
as possible.
The American Legion, Carteret
Post 99, sponsor of the fair, has al
ready started making plans to
make next year's fair even better
than this year's. The Legion was
well pleased with the O. C. Buck
Shows, Mr. Kelly said, but he docs
not know whether they will be back
next year.
He explained that the shows are
contracted for at the N. C Fair As
sociation meeting in January.
The Legion had 20 truck loads of
sand spread over the fair grounds
during the week of rainy weather.

The Legion also cleaned out the
