Water Company
Must Answer
Three Suits
? Cases Arise From
Fire in December
? Company Must File
Answer by Oct. 3
Carolina Water Company will
have to answer to three suits
against it, growing out ot the
( fire that destroyed the Potter and
Jones buildings. Front Street,
Beaufort, the night of Dec 12.
1958.
The fire was one of the most
serious and spectacular ever to
strike the heart of Beaufort's busi
ness district. Firemen were hamp
ered by lack of water with which
to fight the primary blaze and to
protect adjoining buildings.
The Supreme Court of North
Carolina denied the motion of
the water company for writs of
certiorari in the three suits on
Sept. 3.
The effect of the action of the
Supreme Court is to affirm the
decision of Judge Henry L. Stevens,
Jr., which overruled the demur
rers of the water company to the
complaints in these suits.
t This means that the water com
pany must file answers in the
cases by Oct. 3 and be prepared
to stand trial in the cases.

Comments
On Newsstory
Coroner David Munden yester
day made a statement to THE
NEWS-TIMES concerning the Aug.
24 collision of a military jet plane
and a civilian aircraft. Jesse Tay
lor of Beaufort died in the accident.
Mr. Munden said that his office
has not closed the case and no of
ficial statement has been made,
contrary to some reports. His state
ment follows:
Last week an article was printed
in a Raleigh newspaper concern
ing the mid-air collision of a
Cherry Point jet and a civilian
plane in which Jesse Taylor lost
his life.
After the collision occurred, three
officers from Cherry Point were in
my office discussing the matter.
Their contentions were that Cherry
Point had and now has control
from the ground up at all points in
this area.
However, since that time, a let
ter has been produced dated Nov.
25, 1952 wherein permission was
granted the civilians to fly this
area. It states nothing that would
require a pilot to obtain flight
clearance through Cherry Point.
There has not been and will not
be an official decision made by this
office until all investigations and
reports arc complete.

ed as to whether the Dept. of the
Interior will base its deep-sea sur
vey ship at Pivcrs Island.
Rep. Herbert C. Bonner and Rep.
Alton Lennon met Tuesday with
department officials to discuss the

however, that the possibility of
having the surveys made should

Chamber Committee Stresses
Need for County Promotion
The advertising committee of the
Greater Morehead City Chamber of
Commerce met at the Lighthouse
restaurant, Atlantic Beach, Tues
day night. The business meeting
ttas preceded by a buffet dinner.
In the absence of the chairman,
Dick Parker, J. M. Davis, cham
ber president, presided. Others
present were M. H. Taft, Mrs.
Owen Dail, Jimmy Wallace, Ro
bert Atkinson, R. A. Barefoot, T.
T. Potter, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Simp
son, Raymond Duke, Mr. Stewart,
Theodore Economon, Nick Galan
tis, Grovcr Mundcn, Champ Lewis,
Shelby Freeman, Mrs. Jim Harker,
Mrs. Julia Holt and Mr. and Mrs.
Joe DuBois.
Mr. Davis told of the change
the entire tourist traffic pattern
which can be expected with the
inauguration of the Sea Level At
lantic Oracokc ferry service.
He stressed the need for more
advertising to make the most of
this great opportunity and outlined
a suggested program for strength
ening the advertising committee
by the organization of five sub
committees, composed of members
who are directly interested in re
sort advertising, as follows:
Public Relations, to solidify all
sections of the county and to work
with neighbors, north and south
for cooperative effort.
Advertising signs, needed now as
never before.
Radio and TV advertising, these
two factors needed to inform the
north-south traffic about our re
sorts.
Literature, 15,000 brochures,
50,000 folders in full color, accom
modations directory needed.
Press coverage, seasonal and
year-around news combined with
effective advertising in newspapers
and periodicals.
Joe DuBois, explained every item
in the chamber's budget, emphasiz
ing the fact that before any funds
were available $8,890 had to be
raised for salaries, office supplies,
phone, postage and travel ex
JltllOtO.
By comparing budget and expen
ditures back to 1946 he pointed out
that as pottage, printing and sup
plies went up in cost and inquiries
answered went up from 500 to 9,500
per year, less and less funds were
available (or literature, signs, ads
etc., since the amount collected in
dues remained at an average of
$10,500 per year, about $2,000.00
over and above office expense.
He stressed the fact that only
those funds over and above oper
ating costs could be used for ad
vertising and promotion, and that
as costs increased less remained
for promotion.
Mrs. Julia Holt asked if there
was not something the chamber
could do to stop the broadcasting
of news about hurricanes such as
Cindy, which was not even a threat
to our area.
Jin ay Wlllace iugegsted that
the chamber write letters to radio
stations aaking that they be mora
considerate in tbeir reporting.
Michael Taft asked bow it was
that In 1955 more was spent than
bndc?Ud. Mr. DuBoU axplatnad
that funds collected for brochure^
ads were spent and printing bills
not paid, leaving the chamber to
make up a deficit of $3,100 in 1956
and SJ
Raymond Dake noted that a bet
ter understanding between the
beach and town business people
was desirable.
Mr. Davis suggested that this
problem should be worked out by
the public relations committee.
Those present agreed that a
strong and workable advertising
program was necessary, and that
more members and greater mem
bership participation was needed.
Mr. Davis said that from the
questionaries turned in, five com
mittees would be appointed to meet
and decide upon the needs of each,
their decisions to be acted upon at
the Sept. 22 meeting.
Mr. Wallace suggested door
prizes for the meeting and volun
teered a weekend at the Occanana

history, fishing, camping, retire
ment etc., were on display.

Bulletin
The nearly $600,000 dredging
job on Morehead City's harbor,
long dreamed of, long fought for
became a reality, in prospect,
yesterday when both Houses of

This was the first time in 147
vetoes that Congress overrode
the President over a period of
six and a half years.
County Board
Asked to Attend
Welfare Meeting
Miss Georgie Hughes, county
Director of Welfare, invited the
county board of commissioners, in
monthly session Tuesday, to attend

to intercede with the highway de
partment to repair a road just west
of Newport from highway 70 to the
railroad. The school bus is unable
to negotiate the bumpy, muddy
stretch, on which nine school child

ed the commissioners when the
town of Newport requested that a
I state-maintained road known as
McCain St., be released by the
Highway Commission and given
over to Newport to maintain. The
county commissioners agreed to
act as Newport requested.

Tax Collections
Total Nearly Half
Close to one half of the 1959 Car
teret County tax levy had been
collected through August, accord
ing to a report E. O. Moore, county
tax collector, presented Tuesday to
the county board of commissioners.
August collections on the 195*
levy totaled $33,418.86 which, ad
ded to the June and July collec
tions, brought the 1959 percentage
of collections up to 42.15 per cent.
Of dellatacat 1958 and prior
levies Mr. Moore collected an ad
ditional $3,462.68.
E. L. Brinson, delinquent person
al property tax collector, brougbt
in $482.78 during August
Morehead City made a"
trade with Carteret County
at the Tuesday meeting of
the county Commissioners,
whereby the county will pay
Morehead City a $6,192.03
prisoners' feed bill and
Morehead City will cut the
county in on funds received
from the East Carolina Re
gional Housing Authorty.
From 1952 to June, 1958, More
head City housed and (ed law
breakers in the town jail. Accord
ing to state law in the county is re
sponsible for feeding all prisoners,
whether prisoners of the sheriff or
prisoners of incorporated towns.
During the said period Morehead
City paid out $6,192.03 for prisoners'
grub. It could have been contested,
it was hinted, that Morehead City
may have overfed prisoners dur
ing that period. But George H.
McNeill, town attorney, Mayor
George W. Dill and John E. Lash
Icy, town clerk, all representing
Morehead City, said that no one
of them had offered to share meals
with the prisoners, and that suf
ficed to squash the evil hint.
Since June, 1958, all Morehead
City prisoners have been whisked
to the county jail in Beaufort.
There's been no more feeding and
only the most temporary of housing
in the Morehead City jail
To soften the county's financial
burden of paying the $6,192.03,
Morehead City through its attor
ney, Mr. McNeill, offered to turn
over 40 per cent of monies received
from the East Carolina Regional
Housing Authority.
The Housing Authority built two
low-income housing groups in
Morehead City on land donated by
the town. Through its donation the
town, in effect, lost the tax revenue
potential of the land and so, also,
did tlte county.
Housing Authority rents arc
based on an occupant's ability to
pay and thus, while the Authority's
revenues are uncertain, the Author
ity nevertheless does realize
monies enough not only to repay
building costs, but also to make
payments to Morehead City in lieu
of taxes.
In the year 1956 the Authority
paid to Morehead City $1,138.83,
and in the year 1957, $2,453.49.
Based on the relative tax rate of
Morehead City and the county dur
ing those years, Morehead City,
through Mr. McNeill, offered to
turn 40 per cent of the monies,
$1,560.91, over to the county and to
do likewise in subsequent years,
the per centagc to be based on the
relation of the town's tax rate to
the county's tax rate.
Commissioner Skinner Chalk
moved that the county accept
Morehcad's offer, but that payment
of the prisoners' grub bill be made
by the county only as funds be
came available from balances in
the county treasury. Commissioner
David Yocmans seconded the mo
tion and Mr. McNeill accepted for
Morehead City.
During the afternoon session
the commissioners appointed Ralph
Thomas, who lives on Front St.
outside the city limits, to the Beau
fort zoning commission.
James Potter, county auditor,
told the commissioners that M. Y.
Cooper and John Taylor owned
property at AUantic Beach that was
