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."

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.
