The amont vttch the nineteen organizations seek from the public in North Cirolina during the year will be approximately *1,323, 273. Cape Hatteras ? From Kitty Hawk to Oregon Inlet, from Rodan the to Ocracoke Village, inhabit ants of and visitors to North Caro lina's Outer Banks are eagerly awaiting the inauguration of auto ferry services across Pamlico Sound from Atlantic to Ocracoke. Latest word from Sea Level-At lantic Ocracoke Ferry Co., Inc., of Sea Level, is that the $400,000 all weather ferry is expected to be gin operations between Sept. 20 and Oct. 1. The ferry will provide for the first time in history a through mo tor route along the Outer Banks from Kitty Hawk via Atlantic to Morehead City. Unofficially tagged the Sea Level Route, the through fare will literally span 150 miles of the state's coastline at sea level. Approximately 100 miles of the route will be along the Banks, with the Atlantic ocean on one side and Pamlico Sound on the other. Civic leaders and businessmen in the resort areas and fishing vill ages affected are of the opinion the new ferry marks the beginning of what will ultimately be a popular short cut from New York to Flor ida. The state's recent announce ment of plans to bridge Oregon In let lends support to their opinion. In habitants of the area also say plans are in the making for better ferry facilities at Hatteras Inlet. State highway officials *ye current ly studying existing conditions there. Both inlets are on the Sea Level Route. Inhabitants also are of the opin ion one ferry will not handle the traffic across Pamlico Sound, once Oregon Inlet is bridged. But they feel sure additional facilities will be provided as needed. A tremendous increase in tourist traffic along the Banks has been noted in recent years, especially since the road across Ocracoke Island was opened and paved in 1957. A total of 18,000 cars reported ly visited the Island last year, and current indications are the figures will run higher this year, with or without the new ferry route. Despite recent news reports to the contrary, a spokesman for the ferry company said neither rates nor schedules have been set for the new ferry. It is expected to make the sound crossing in two and one-half hours, and will have a capacity of 24 autoa and 300 passengers. The Jerry company is an enter prise of the four Taylor brouiers, wealthy businessmen of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Norfolk, Va. They are natives of Sea Level, and in recent years, through the Taylor Foundation, they set up a hospital and medical clinic there? the Sea Level Community Hospital. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Maltby Tay lor, still reside at Sea Level. Theatre Meeting Planned The Carteret Community Theatre will meet tomorrow night at 8 at the recreation building, Morehead City. ? Farm Census Man For Area Named Appointment of Everett L.
