NCFA Discusses
Proposed Taxes
On Fishermen
At the North Carolina Fisheries
Association meeting Monday night
at New Bern there was complete
agreement that commercial fisher
men are "farmers of the sea." The
State Tax Study Commission pro
poses to impose a sales tax on their
I purchases of fuel oil, engines, ma
chinery, rigging and equipment.
A farmer, however, is exempt
from sales tax, except the 1/20 of 1 1
per cent manufacturers tax, on all
working equipment that generally
has moving parts.
The "farmers of the sea" inter
pretation,' advanced by Association
Attorney John Rodman, had the
support of members of the 1957
General Assembly present at the
dinner meeting. They were Sena- '
tor Edward L. Owens of Plymouth,
and Representatives Sam L. White
hurst, New *iern, Thomas J. White,
Kinston, D. G. Bell, Morehead City, j
Ned Delamar, Oriental, and L. H.
Ross Washington.
Mr. Rodman told the fisheries
association that Gov. L u t h e r !
Hodges was sympathetic to the
classification of commercial fisher- j
men as "farmers" of the coastal
waters. Mr. Rodman said, "Com
mercial fishermen are entitled to !
the same consideration as farmers, j
Otherwise there is discrimination.
I believe that this interpretation |
will appeal to the legislature."
A possible threat to North Caro- \
lina's $10,500,000 fishing industry j
also received close scrutiny in a
speech by E. C. Hubbard, cxecu- i
live secretary of the N. C. Stream
Sanitation Committee.
Mr. Hubbard explained the rec- j
ommendations and waste handling \
procedures set up by the commit- j
tee to prevent the pollution of the j
Neusc River in the vicinity of the i
proposed New Bern paper mill.
He told the fishermen that co
operative studies with representa
tives of the paper manufacturer
showed that the Neuse River at that
point would handle 18,000 pounds of
waste affluent and de-oxygenized
water daily in normal flow without
harm to fish life. The waste volume
contemplated at full plant produc
tion would be 36,000 pounds daily.
Mr. Hubbard explained that the
system proposed by the Stream j
Sanitation Committee, and agreed j
to by the manufacturer, would cut
that waste volume considerably by
re -use of water, discharge of the
waste water into sedimentation j
ponds, and into holding ponds for j
its re-oxygenation.
The fisheries association took ac- ;
tion by resolution to support a sug- j
gestion by Cecil Morris for saving j
the outer banks between Ocracokc
Inlet and Drum Inlet.
New directors elected by the
association were Lewis Hardee,
Otis Purifoy, Earl H. Holton, Mil
! ton Evans, Roy Watson, Sam Mc
Cottcr, Clayton Fulcher Jr., Clyde
Potter, George Wallace, W. A. El
I lison Jr., I. J. Hudson, and John
| Smith.
President Garland Fulcher of
| Oriental presided at the annual
I meeting which was held at the
Hotel Governor Tryon.
