Clerk Reports $1,462 In Back Taxes Collected ? Board Approves New Fire Alarm Set-Up Rainy weather dictated the agenda for the Newport town board meeting Tuesday night. The topic which consumed most of the time was ditches and drainage. Bruce Gerock appeared before the board to request financial help on opening a ditch back of his home. The town agreed to pay $20 of a total estimated cost of $110. After a report by commissioner Bennie Garner on a ditch that would drain property owned by Ira Garner and others, the board authorized street commissioner John Kelly to see if the state will clear the right of way. Total length of the ditch is about 1,500 feet. Cost of opening would be $12.50 an hour, after the right of way is cleared. At the request of Gilbert Slaugh ter, the town agreed to furnish a man to help Slaughter and four other property owners clear out a' ditch. Leslie Bercegeay reported on a drainage problem at the school and recommended that drainage tile be put under the railroad to help solve the problem. After hear ing from commissioner Bennie Garner and police chief Dan Bell that tile already was there, Mr. Bercegeay said he would review the situation. The board authorized a Nello Teer contract for putting a hard surface (tar rock) on Eastover Court, cost to be about $900. Tile was also ordered for Eastover Drive extension. Commissioner Wilbur Garner re ported on a county-wide planning meeting he attended Monday morn ing at the courthouse, Beaufort. The board endorsed the proposed planning program. Mayor Leon Mann Jr. commented that Have lock and Jacksonville are examples of lack of planning. - Commissioner Beanie Garner said there was no water report for February because the water department administrator, Junius Creech Jr. couldn't get in the town hall Saturday (bond vote) to work on the books. Miss Edith Lockey, town clerk, reported that as a result of 36 reg istered letters sent to delinquent taxpayers, $1,462.01 in 1957 and prior taxes had been collected. The letters informed the delinquents that their property was to be sold. Approximately 2 ? delinquents failed to respond. The taxes owed will be entered in the courthouse as judgments against them and after the specified lapse of time, the property will be sold at the courthouse door. In answer to a question by C. H. (Dick) Lockcy, commissioner, George Ball, town attorney, said that this sale will be final and the taxpayer cannot later reclaim his land if it has been sold to a pri vate individual. The origiaal taxpayer could at tempt to upset the sale by court action, but under normal circum stances, the sale is final and valid, (he new purchaser getting a deed to the property. Due to trouble caused by the fire alarm ringing unnecessarily, the board approved a new arrange ment. Now the alarm rings auto matically when the fire alarm number is called. Mistakes in local dialing and long distance dialing have resulted in many false alarmi. The phone company has pro (Kised putting five phones on a party line. When a party answers >ne of the five phones and learns that the call is for help at a fire, then be sends in the alarm by pushing a button. The five phones would be at the %BC store, R. Jones store, George Green'i, Bell's and the town hall. The board approved the $20 instal ation cost and the extra fl charge per month for the service. The board approved buying two uore tires for the town trash truck, See NEWPORT, Page 2 Tide Table Tides at the Beaufort Bar HIGH Low Friday, March * 8::30 Monday morning at the courthouse, Beau Fort.
