Part 4 Why It's Better to Live in Town If residents living beyond the corporate limits, at present, be came a part of the town, their fire insurance rates would be reduced when fire hydrants are installed.

Mr. Mason quoted fire insurance rates. In the town (which has a class 6 fire rat ing), the lowest rate is 21 cents per hundred. Out of totvn, Mr. Mason said the lowest possible rate is 54 cents per hundred. * The town fire department has a Area Proposed for Addition R&N Furniture Co., Dee Gee’s, NC Stale Ports office, Dave Battle Webb, Mrs. George Wallace, See PLAY, Page 3 Service at Fort to Begin at Tide Table Tides at the Beaufort Bar HIGH LOW Tuesday, March 28 5:46 a.m. 12:09 a.m. 6:17 p.m. .—, Wednesday, March 29 6:31 a.m. 12:57 a.m. 6:57 p.m. 12:52 p.m. Thursday, March 39 7:10 a.m. 1:10 a.m. truck that pumps a thousand gal lons a minute and carries a 300-gal lon booster tank; a truck with a two-stage 500-gallon pump that car ries a booster tank of 530-gallon capacity; a truck with a 500-gallon capacity pump and a 200-gallon booster tank, and ladder truck.

The east Carteret choir, under men are on duty throughout the day, one at night, with the chief of police on call at all times. With the density of population increasing in the area proposed for annexation, Mr. Mason expressed the belief that people in that area will find safety measures, such as crosswalks, caution lights and other aids, advantageous. Why have the boundaries been drawn as they are in the proposed annexation area? The northern boundary, on the north side of Len noaville road, Mr. Tilason explain ed, is a continuation of the town line that now runs for just a short distance east on Lennoxville road. Selection of the eastern boundary was simply a choice of the town board — the line had to be put somewhere. The southern bound ary is the high water mark Of Tay lor’s Creek. town. Cross-hatch marks cover the area proposed for annexa tion. It extends from the high water mark on Taylor’s Creek to the northern boundary of Leif noxville road. The east boundary, right of the picture, is between Brunswick Navigation (stick water plant) and the Sperti property. It is estimated that about 500 people live in the area.

The scripture lesson, John 14-18 ' —J1 by the Rev. S. L. of the Harkers Beaufort Group Starts Legal Action Yesterday A complaint wn filed yesterday at 10:45 a.n*. asking that the county be blocked in its attempt to build a hos pital — particularly a hospital on Earle W. Webb proper ty on Bogue Sound, west of Morehead City. According to information from the clerk of court’s office, C. R. Wheatly, .attorney for Beaufort residents who have filed the action, expects to have a superior court judge’s signature on the court order by this morning. Luther Hamilton Jr., attorney for the county, said that the order, which Mr. Wheatly was reportedly putting before judge Albert C'ow per, Kinston, yesterday afternoon, would require the county to show cause why a restraining order, blocking hospital construction, should not be filed. He said that a hearing on the matter may be set next week when judge Cow'per is here holding crim inal court. Filing the complaint, “in their own interest and in the interest of all other residents and taxpayers of Carteret county who may make themsclvos parlies to this action’’ were J. 0. Barbour Jr., W. II. Pot ter (Beaufort’s mayor), W. R. Hamilton, Ralph S. Eudy, Earl Mades, L. D. Springlc, Charles Da vis, E. W. Downum. Julian Fulcher Sr., James H. Potter 111, Halsey D. Paul, Clif ford Lewis, Albert Chappell, Les lie G. Moore, W. L. Arrington, Jar vis Herring, Mrs. G. W. Duncan, Ivey Gaskill, and C. Wesley Willis. Named as defendants in the suit are the county commissioners. The complaint asks the follow ing: • That the order calling for bor rowing of $100,000 to pay for the site be declared invalid. • That the county be prevented from borrowing any more money until sufficient funds arc accumu lated to pay 90 cents per hundred dollars' valuation to the bondhold ers, according to an agreement of 1937. • That the county be restrained from buying the Earle Webb prop erty because it is 1. Unsuitable as a hospital site 2. Subject to a defective title 3. All of the tract is not to be used for a hospital site but for “other unwarranted pur poses.” 4. The anticipated purchase price of $75,000 is excessive and un lawful. The complaint asks that a tem porary restraining order be issued until a trial can be held to deter mine the merits of the case. The complainants, in their suit, lean heavily on the fact that the county does not levy 90 cents per hundred dollars’ valuation, as agreed with bondholders in 1937. Because the county has been able to meet payments on bond interest See HOSPITAL, Page 2 Churches Announce Holy Week, Services for Easter Churches throughout the county have announced Holy Week and Easter services.
