How Does Election Outcome Affect Newport Water Suit? Newport Board Ends Term The Newport town board, meet ing in speeiat session Wednesday noon at th# town ball to certify election returns. alap wound up the town's business for the past two years. Hills were ordered paid, imUui ing $55 to Miss Margaret Bell, registrar, for her work prior to the election. The board approved payment of $2 a week, for the remainder of 1957, toward maintenance of the library from 2 to 4 p m. Mondays at the PTA Center. Miss Ada A1 len, librarian, reported that 83 books were checked out in Febru ary. 111 in March and 130 in April making a total of 324. She invited the commissioners to visit the library. A letter was read from Thurlow Whealton chairman of the More head Cit> centennial water parade committee. The letter invited New port to have a float in the parade. "If it's a water parade," the may or quippeds "we've got to enter it!" Incoming Commissioner Doug las Henderson and Commissioner Wilbur Garner were appointed to investigate the "floating'' situa tion. The report on the election was made by Mrs. Dale Parish Offi cials present, in addition to Mayor Mann, who presided, were Pren-1 tiss Garner, Joe Cox, Wilbur Gar ner and Bennic Garner. Fund Chairman Praises Workers Mrs. W. J. Ipock, chairman of the county Red Cross fund drive, yesterday commended the Negro citizens of Beaufort and Morehead City for their splendid work in raising funds. The Negro community of More head City contributed $81.75 and the Negro community of Beaufort contributed $125.82. "If the white residents had done, proportionately, as well," Mrs. Ipock said, "we would have $5,000." The fund total stands at $2,ISO thus far. * Chairman of the campaign in Morehead City, was S. R. McLen don, assisted by Mrs. T h e I m a Stamps, Mrs. Irene Hester, Mrs. Ethel Dudley, Mrs. Sadie Tyson and Miss Annie Midgett. Two high school pupils, Gloria Benton and Laura Daugherty, volunteered their dollar membership fees. John W. Tdlery wis in charge of solicitors in Beaufort. His work ers were V. S. Collins, Mrs. Her bert Davis, Mrs. D. P. Smith, Mrs. Curtis Oden, and Mrs. A. D. Hut chinson. WHmingloa Wants 'Daylight' Wilmington voters favored day light saving time by a vote ef 3,754 to 1,513 in IXiesday's election. But the city council took no action, merely referring -the results to their representative In the general assembly where a statewide DST bill is pending. ? Wkat effect will Uw vote in Mew -< ' poft h*vf on the current lawsuit io pfevnit Ixirrowiag of U*),ooo to put in a town-wide water sys tem? The answer is not simple. 'fbe case wan scheduled to be re viewed by the North Carolina Su pre me Court Twrsday. Briefs were placed before the court by George i Ball, attorney for the town whose officials are the defendants, and by C. R. Wheatly^ attorney for the plaintiffs. The suit was filed by Jeff J Garner and others. Mr. Garner ran for commissioner in Tuesday's election and polled 72 votes?not enough to put him in office The supreme court may hand down its decision on May 22, says Attorney Ball. Decisions are made known every third Wednesday anil the most recent release of deci sions was May 1. If the court sustains the demur rer filed by the town, a demurrer which has been sustained by the lower courts, the town will have won the case and the way will be clear for proceeding with borrow ing money for water system instal libra. The court, however, may remand the case to a lower court where the suit would be tried on the basis of allegations made by the plaintiffs, namely, that the referen dum approving the bond issue was irregular and not legally carried out. If that is the high court's deci sion, the case would probably be tried in the October term of su perior court in this county. Nothing can be done toward in stallation of the water system un til the court case is settled. Vic tory for all the candidates who initiated the water system project indicates, however, that the town approves those candidates' policies. Mayor I,con Mann Jr. said Wed nesday that if there is some way to get a town water system with out borrowing the money, he would be happy to learn what it is "But," he said, "we have found no other way to get the money to lay the pipe, put up a water tank and do all the things necessary unless we do borrow the money." Fake Officer Loses to Train Oc?l?. Fla. (AP)?Thomas Cum mtnat beat* train to * railroad creating and saved his bankroll. Cummings said ha had pulled his car off the highway to sleep a while and was wakened by a man who claimed to be a law of ficer demanding to see his driver's license. Suspicious, Cummings ran. When he saw a train approaching on a nearby track he dashed across in front of it and hid in underbrush, watching the man search for him after the train passed. He reported to the Florida High way Patrol, which confirmed Cum mings' suspicion that his pursuer didn't represent the law. A flash light and overcoat were taken from his car. Mayor Clifford Lewis states that persons whose property will re ceive spoila from the dredge in Taylor's Creek are to level the area if they wish. The town will do the levelling Is the areas It owns.
