OpponentsofCedarlsIand Ferry Landing Will Put Petition Before Governor Today Officials to Meet to Study Fisheries Development Plan To determine whether there is* local support to develop further a fishing industry in this state, a federal project for boosting the meeting will take place at 11 a.m. tomorrow in the commercial fish eries building, Morehead City. Attending will be county officials, representatives of the fishing in dustry, the state government and the US Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The proposed project, to be fi nanced by the federal government, has two phases. One is exploratory fishing and the other a project to seek improved marketing of fish cries projects. It is proposed that the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries conduct the program through a technical as sistance grant from the Area Re development administration. Classified as a depressed area, Carteret is one of the counties in the state eligible for federal funds of this type. George M. Stephens Jr., special assistant to Gov. Terry Sanford, in a letter announcing tomorrow’s meeting, said, “If past practices arc followed, the Area Redevelop ment administration might furnish as much as 90 per cent of the man-, ey with 10 per cent coming from local sources.” County commissioners approved the proposal at their September meeting. Presenting the matter to them was C. G. Holland, state commer cial fisheries commissioner, who estimated total cost of the eco-, nomic development program at $116,000. He said that he believed local fishing interests would fur nish the “local 10 per cent?’ or $11,600. Motorist Cited After Collision Bobby Ray Steele, Burlington, was charged with driving drunk and hit and run following an ac cident at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Hill’s motel, Markers Island. State trooper J. W. Sykes, who investigated, said Steele, towing a boat and trailer, came out of the Hill motel road, turned on the Harkers Island road toward high way 70 and his trailer struck the side of a parked car. The car, a 1956 Ford, was park ed on the right shoulder, headed west, the trooper said. In it were Mrs. Luella Taylor and her 2-year old son, Michael, who were wait ing for Mrs. Taylor’s husband, Alonzo. After his trailer and boat hit the car, Steele continued without stopping, the officer said. Damage to the Taylor car was .estimated at $150 and to the boat $100. The car driven by Steele, a 1960 Olds mobile, was not damaged. The Taylors are residents of route 2 Beaufort. Trawler Joins O'Neal Fleet co»*i. tuy I. V.

Carteret Opposes Federal Takeover of Outer Banks County commissioners went on record Monday as being opposed to an increase in federal owner ship of the Outer Banks and pass ed a resolution to mat effect. The board’s view was that the state should retain control as to regulatory powers to preserve the banks, and that the banks should be open to private development, subject to conservation measures. Leslie Moore, operator of a ma rina at Cape Lookout, spoke to the board, saying that federal owner ship would not aid the county at all, property taxes would be lost and tax money would be spent by the federal government to keep the banks in idleness. Mr. Moore said that the poten tial of the Outer Banks as a rec reational area is enormous, and that the banks could mean a huge source of income and tax money in the future. Mr. Moore added that areas own ed or controlled by the state should be available to qualified develop ers. The board also heard a request from mayor W. H. Potter, Bea\i fort, asking that the county take the steps to qualify for the acce lerated public works program re cently passed by Congress. Beau fort and Morehead City have qua lified for assistance under the pro gram and are high on the priority list for funds when they become available, the mayor said. Both towns are seeking to ac quire and expand water and sewer services and to obtain money for other badly needed improvements, mayor Potter said. Tile ftftyeeU mw*t be under way by July 1963 and the applications must be in by January 1963 to be accepted, he added. Beaufort would need $218,000 to buy its water system, mayor Pot ter said,, and a 100 per cent ex pansion is planned. Local labor would also be greatly aided, he stated. Board member Skinner Chalk told mayor Potter that he thought acquisition of the water system by either town was a mistake, and it would not pay to “improve and not be able to keep it or keep it up.” Board chairman Moses Howard appointed county attorney Luther Hamilton and county auditor James Potter to look into the necessary measures to allow the county to become eligible for the program. A request to the board for speedy action on a school for the Bogue community met with legal en tanglement due to the change in Tide Table Tides at the Beaufort Bar HIGH LOW Tuesday, Oct. 2 10:02 a.m. 3:58 a.m. 10:10 p.m. 4:27 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3 10:31 a.m. 4:17 a.m. 10:47 p.m. 4:55 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4 11:11 a.m. 4:40 a.m. 11:35 p.m. 5:28 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5 12:01 a.m. 5:14 a.m. - 6:21 p.m. _ the county board imminent in the next election. John Bell, Boguc, urged the board to make the necessary $160, 000 available, only to be told that the county at present can borrow only $102,000, and that the board of education would have to put up the remainder, subject to reim bursement by the new county board after the election. After chairman Howard telephon ed the board of education, which was in session, it was learned that the board of education must have the full amount to take the next step, to hire an architect, make plans and advertise for bids for construction contracts. Mr. Bell, who stated that it ap peared that the present board was afraid that the new board would not approve the issuance of the money, got some support from mayor Potter, who apologized for “sticking into something outside Beaufort.” Mayor Potter said that the county would be operating after the election, and that a difference in personalities on the board wouldn’t affect the progress of the county government. Tug Returns The tug, Cable, which has been doing salvage work on the Poto mac, returned to Morehead City yesterday after taking the stern section of the Potomac, a tanker, to Norfolk. The tug left yesterday for Florida after picking up equip ment here. The bow section of the Potomac, which was damaged by fire, is now anchored south of the Morehead City port. Gov. Terry Sanford will receive today a petition from the Down East Citizens of Sea Level and Atlantic, request ing that the ferry landing at Atlantic not he moved to Ce dar Island, announces D. Mason, Atlantic chairman of the citizen’s committee, Mr. Mason is head of a committee which was formed Friday night at the Sea Level inn with the hope of block mg the State Highway comm is" sion’s plan to change the ferry landing. The Atlantic landing is used hy the ferry which operates between Atlantic, on the Carteret mainland, and Ocraeoke, which is adjacent to the Cape Hatteras National Sea shore park. Governor Sanford recently in formed the greater Morchead City chamber of commerce that the Ce dar Island landing, almost 10 miles north of Atlantic, would be in use by the beginning of the next tourist season. The highway commission believes that by moving the land ing, the ferry will be able to make two trips daily instead of one. Mr. Mason said that it is not prac tical to put the landing at Cedar Island. Not only would it be im possible to make two trips daily from that point, he said, but rough waters would make the trip diffi cult. Two trips daily would be pos sible, chairman Mason said, only by making a trip at night. “You’ve got to have two ferries," he added, "no matter where you put the landing. If the present one breaks down, it couldn't be put back in service for 10 days and during that time there would be no ferry service at all. A second ferry is needed to assure service at all times,” he declared. Dan Taylor, Sea Level, who with his brothers was responsible for building the present ferry and es tablishing the ferry service, is also opposed to moving the Atlantic fer ry slip, Mr. Mason said. Mr. Tay lor has asked for a conference with the governor, the chairman report ed. D. G. Bell, Morchead City, statfc highway commissioner, denied yes terday that the commission has a plan to build a highway that would lead from the Cedar Island land ing directly to highway 70, by-pass ing Atlantic and Sea Level. “As far as I know," Mr. Bell said, ‘‘such a plan has not been proposed or discussed.” A by-pass looms as a fear al most as big as losing the ferry slip, in the minds of many of the Sea Level and Atlantic residents. “1 think a by-pass would be fool ish," Mr. Bell says. He believes, however, that locating the ferry landing at Cedar Island would make, two ferry trips a day possible and thus prevent many tourists from being disappointed when they can't get on the ferry at either Atlantic or Ocraeoke. Better service is needed,” com missioner Bell said, “and moving the ferry landing to Cedar Island will provide it.” Mr. Mason said “the people up stale” don’t understand water and they don’t know what they're get ting into in trying to put the ferry landing at Cedar Island. The highway commission has al ready purchased the land for the new landing and plans to let con tracts for ferry slip construction before the end of the year. Officers of the citizens’ commit tee, in addition to Mr. Mason, are Eugene Willis, vice-chairman, and Mrs. Harriet Robinson, secretary. Members of a waterways advi sory committee are Harold Dan iels, Mitchell Taylor, Charles Ed wards Sr., Winston Hill and Luther Smith. J. W. Long Jr. To be Ordained J. W.
