She was slightly injured with bruises about the throat and her arm was hurt in the rape attempt. to Use Dredge in Multi-Purpose Reclamation Project xi* uic pasi u Phases the City of Kinston has bought nearly 400 acres of swamp land lying just south of the city’s southernmost boundaries and be tyreen Queen Street extended and the- right-of-way of the Atlantic & East Carolina Railroad. . The first purchase of dti.acres was ; made to provide the city with its ■ firat landfill garbage disposal area l and 'hundreds of thousands of yards of JjraSh and garbage from Kinston homos were buried in this area ov er roughly a 10 to 12 year period. Last year some over 308 more acres this same flood plaiar were purchase after test borings had jh dicated to experts that the awe* was suittifle for the location of Hhe city’s first sewage disposal lagoon. This 25-acne project is now tinder, construction and will begin funo-l tion sometime in mid-1965. But . when city officials saw the specifications for this 25-acre la “cnnnS” because it. goon they, were “snook' called for construction of a huge around the lagoon extend eight feet above - recorded flooding of a dike required a dggldVdlLXllg UldllCUgC. 11C UC gan looking for less expensive and faster ways a'f moving mountain of dirt. Rayner and his colleagues on the city council befisve — and certain ly hope — that toe has come up with the right idea. TThis idea is now ' ■ LdMiig iUim UtU.iv U1 lilt iiia.iiitt.il ance garage of the fire deparment. It is a 6-iinch hydraulic dredge. Rayner, after consultations with officials fflff Barrus Construction Company, which operates a similar dredge, believes that this huge earth-moving jab can be done with “ship” owned by the City of Kinston has not yet and may never receive anything more than labels “S. S. Rayner” for its godfather Alderman Buddy he “S. S. Hailey” for Fire Chief Joe Hailey, chief eer. But it is fast taking shape and will soon be >rk with its powerful engine and pump that will id silt through a six-inch line to reclaim and make than 300 acres of "forgotten land” just south of tUM C LUUVClIUUUdl The present 25-area lagoon is be ing raised by those conventional methods and it is costing well over $100,000. But city officials already know that additional lagoons will have to be built to take care of the mil lions of gallons of raw sewage that pour out each day from the homes and industries of the community. The 25-acre lagoon is expected to take care of about one-fourth of this multi-million gallon problem. So the ultimate plan with the dredge is to build a dike around nearly 300 of those 400 acres which the city owns in this sweeping cres cent of Neuse River. And the job is not so huge as it first appears. The more-than-a mile of Neuse River bank that will form the southern rim of this dike is already a natural levee that com es under only the very highest flooding. It is estimated by city engineers that it will only be nec essary to raise, this natural levee about eight feet on the average to have a dike that will be much high er than any recorded flooding of Neuse River. In addition to providing the city with adequate land to take care of sewage disposal lagoons for a long time to come this area when re claimed will also give the city a huge area for land landfill garbage disposal which will over a period of many years see the entire area » dredge for about one-third the ’ uuwi up ciuum Liic nuou wnicn nas kept the land from any useful pur pose throughout the habitation of this part of the world. The dredge will be used in pro viding a canal around the inside perimeter of this 300-acre tract and at the same time it will provide the necessary fill dirt of the land fill garbage disposal project. The canal will have flood gates near the railroad bridge across Neuse River and it will provide gravity drainage of the area at those times when the river is low er than the water table in the area, and a pumping station will be lo cated at this same spot to provide drainage when the river is in flood stage. The estimated outflow of the sewage lagoon now under construc tion is a million gallons per day and this canal will provide an out let for this as well as for surface drainage within the area and for those other areas that naturally drain through this area. When the canal project is com pleted the dredge will be used in. Meuse River to provide further land fill from the constantly replinishing silt and sand that is deposited by th river itself. City/ officials feel confident that with more'than a mile of river frontage^ along this strip they will lever run out of sand that is being deposited constantly by the river “'If -. '
