Burrtiss, resident engineer with the State Highway commis sion, reports that the causeway between the Atlantic Beach bridge and the beach will be resurfaced in September. At the same time, he added, the approaches to the Calico Creek bridge. Crab Point, will be hard-surfaced The causeway to the beach has recently been widened. The work was done at the suggestion of the town to prevent traffic snarl-ups when a car that wants to turn left has to cut across the approaching lane of traffic. For example, a car going to the beach wants to turn left into Flem ing's restaurant. With only two lanes, it held up all the traffic be hind it, waiting for a break in the line of traffic coming from the beach. With the widening of the cause way and creation of a center lane, a car wanting to turn can get into the center lane, and thus permit traffic behind it to keep going. The center lane is marked with diagonal lines. It is NOT to be used as a through lane. When a car coming from the beach wants to turn into the sea life exhibit, for example, it gets into the center lane to wait for a break in the traffic coming off the bridge Traffic behind it keeps flowing. The widening of the causeway in other words, is primarily for the use of ears making left turns. I he ridge at cither side of the road, where the asphalt has been extended, will be smoothed with the resurfacing in the fall. Closed Waters To Open Sunday Inland waters that have been closed until tlny shrimp reach marketable size, will be reopened at midnight Sunday, announces C. 0. Holland, state commercial fish eries commissioner. This includes all inla..d waters except heads of bays, creeks and rivers. The division line is mark ed by highway bridges. Commissioner Holland said that the small shrimp have now reach C?.[air sl/c' ancl ,hcre are plenty of them Last week shrimp caught inside were bringing 20 cents a pound, heads on. Shrimp of god size, ranging from 50 to 70 count, arc being caught offshore. While shrimping is the big business at this time of year some fishermen are also market-'! ing hard crabs, the commissioner ! said.

J. O. Barbour Jr., chairman of the assoc**.. ion's civic and legisla tive committee, said that after considerable delay, a copy of the schedule adopted by the board was finally obtained. # He ?aid that the board "doubled" the license fees suggested by the merchants in the proposal placed before the board in open session June 6.
