by T. O. Talton of Durham. Ash
by was not hurt. No charges were

At 9 a.m. Thursday a 1949 Cadil
lac, driven by Martha Salter of
llavelock, struck the left rear
bumper of a 1959 Ford station
wagon parked in the 2200 block of
Arendell Street.
The Salter woman told investi

Damage to the Ford was esti

New Bern (AP>? A study is be
ing made to determine the possi
bility of building a barrier across
the Neuse River between Cherr*
Point Marine Corps Air station and
Minnesott Beach to protect New
Bern from hurricane-driven water.
The study, being conducted by
US Army Engineers, includes drill
ing to determine the type of soil
beneath the river. The barrier,
or dam. would be built of soil.
The necessary Mil would be
dredged from the Neuse on the
upstream side of the proposed
dam. The test drilling is expected
to take several weeks.
The barrier would have an open
ing sufficiently wide for boats to
pass through, but narrow enough
to delay storm-driven water.
The river is about two miles
wide at the point where the barrier
would be built.
Should it be built, the possibility
of a highway across it has been
suggested.
A spokesman for the Army En
gineers said the suggestion for a
highway was sent to the North
Carolina Highway commission, but
he said the commission has not re
sponded.
The spokesman said that after
the test drilling is completed, a
report will be prepared outlining
the feasibility of the proposed proj
ect.

must be United States documen
tary stamps, the value of the
stamps based on the price paid
for the property.
Property which changes hands
for leas than $101 requires no
stamp, according to Odell Mer
rill, register of deeds. Property
which brings a price between $101
and $500 must bear a stamp valued
at 55 cents. From $501 to $1,000,
the stamps affixed to the deed to

asking for more money, but I'm
hinting," Mr. Adair remarked. "II
we are to derive more benefit from
the airport, we have to put more
ift it."
Income to the commission, in
cluding funds carried over from
a previous regime, was $2,075.86,
according to Mr. Adair. Expendi
tures during the past year amount
ed to $1,4M.30 for repair and im
provements.
The improvements include a wa
ter drinking fountain in the air
port administration building and
a cold drink machine. The bal
ance now is. $572.46. Anticipated
income during the coming fiscal
year is $645.
Total funds available during the
next fiscal year will be $1,217.46,
of which $796.63 is expected to be
used for operating expenses.
Mr. Adair said that one runway
should be completely lighted. At
present a runway is lighted for
only half its length. "If you de
cide we should expand," Mr. Adair
said, "then we need funds in pro
portion to what should be done."
The board commended Mr.
Adair and the airport commission
for work well done.
Accepted was the year's report
by E. Q. Moore, county tax collec
tor. Rfrs Moore was given author

taxes are unpaid).

sons whose names are on the book
for unpaid taxes in any prior year
be sent tax notices/
