Mayor Promises I
To Make Inquiry
Mayor George Dill, Morehead
City, laid yesterday he was going
to learn the exact legal steps to be
taken in connection with a new
registration of voters in Morehead
City.
Mayor Dill said that registration
at voters is a "sacred cow". No
body grants to become involved
with the matter.
Voter* were concerned after the
May S election. Some wore told
they couldn't vote, when they in
stated they had voted for year
prior in town elections (the same
thing occurred in Beaufort).
One voter in Morehead City said
his wife was told she couldn't vote
because they couldn't find her
name ? two registration books
could not be found, the poiiholders
said.
Later the pollhoiden apparently
found the books, according to the
citizen reporting the incident, and
they tried to phone those who had
been denied the right to vote, but
of course, they couldn't locate
everyone.
"Seems to me," the citizen con
tinued, "that this in itself would be
basis for protesting the results of
, the election."

D. G. Bell, Carteret legis
lator, introduced larit night
(our bills in the House. One
incorporates Bay Shore Park,
another incorporates Cape
Carteret, both private real
estate developments; a third
authorizes the town of New
port to use non-tax funds for
supplementing teacher puy,
and the fourth makes More
head City's new cemetery.
Greenwood Park, a part of
the town.
Mr. Bell explained that private
real estate developments are re
questing incorporation because
they are outside the town limits
and the only way they can control
building ? without a county-wide
zoning law, is to incorporate as
towns.
Also ready for introduction, Mr.
Bell said yesterday, is a bill that
gives the tax collector authority to
check with marinas on boats that
arc stored there.
The legislator said he has been
asked to introduce a bill that would
increase the pay of county com
missioners to a hundred dollars a
month and pay of the chairman of
the board $125 a month.
Referred to the House finance
committee last night was the bill
which would allow counties to vote
on whether they wanted to estab
lish race tracks within their
boundaries.
The bill was given a favorable
report by the ilnuse propositions
and grievances committee Friday
morning. Twenty-two Carteret citi
zens appeared before the commit
tee in favor of the bill.
They were Dick Parker, Dr. Ben
Royal, Buck Matthews, W. L. Dcr
rickson, M. T. Mills, Otis Jones,
Dom Fcmia, Walter Tcich.
Dick McCIain, I. E. Pittman, R.
H. Dowdy, Rufus Butner, Roper
Van llorn, Garland Scruggs, Ray
Cummins.
Dr. Russell Outlaw, Michael
Taft, sheriff Hugh Salter, mayor
George Dill, Rep. D. G. Bell and
Sen. Luther Hamilton, all of More
head City.
Mr. Parker said he thinks the
bill has a "SO-SO chance" of going
through. Great "st opposition is
coming from ministers.
A petition is being circulated in
this county now against the track.
The race track bill was intro
duced last Monday, with Ansell
Norwood of Currituck, D. G. Bell
of Carteret, Dr. Thomas Woodard
of Wilson, Dr. J. M. Phelps, Wash
ington^ County, and Charles Ca
hoon of Tyrrell County as signers.
Prior to IMS, dog tracks operated
in both Currituck and Carteret
Counties, then they were declared
unconstitutional.

day that the legislature will prob
ably adjourn about June 12, three
weeka from thia Friday.
