Leon Williams, executive di rector of the state ports, is expect ed in Morehead City next week to look further into finding a place in the state port area where the Chilula might dock. Mayor George Dill, Morehead City, spoke to the state ports di rector Tuesday morning, following a State Ports Authority meeting at Raleigh where the Chilula prob lem was discussed. Mr. Williams told SPA members that there was "another space" at Morehead City which could handle the vessel. "It might not be as nice as the present berth, but that one's too valuable," he told the authority. Mr. Williams was informed by mayor Dill Monday morning, prior to the SPA meeting, that there is water deep enough to accommo date the Chilula at two places in the port area. There is conflicting opinion as to how long the Chilula problem has been hanging fire. The ports di rector claims town officials at Morehead City have known about the necessity for moving the Chi lula for some time. Mayor Dill says' that he and other town offi cials had not been informed of the problem. Mr. Williams points out that the space occupied by the cutter is needed for commercial ships. He said it could be bringing in "10 times as much" as the $200 a month the Coast Guard pays for dock rental on the Chilula. The SPA authorized Mr. Wil liams to talk the matter over with the commander of the Fifth Coast Guard district. By yesterday, the Coast Guard had received no of ficial information on the matter. The Coast Guard's lease with the state is to expire in 90 days. The Chilula's draft is 17 feet, accord ing to official Coast C-uard records. It cannot be accommodated in wa ters at the Fort Macon Coast Guard base. The Chilula, a converted ocean going tug, was first based at More head City in 1957. Mayor Dill comments that there are many factors making it im portant that the cutter stay in this area. It's needed from a safety standpoint, he remarked, and the business generated by crew mem bers' families living here i? good for Morehead City. "I think we can work things out so that the Chilula will have ade quate docking space," the mayor commented. Another Coast Guard vessel in this area, the Conifer, a buoy ten der, ties up at the Fort Macon station. TEN YEARS FROM NOW The 1960 Seadog basketball championship will be only a memory . . .

Estimated cost of initial dredg ing is $185,000 plus $185,000 an nually to maintain without a jetty.
