Burning Permits Needed
Watch That Fire
Perwbaans County Forest Ranger, John Hurdle,
Aninded the county residents Friday that burning per
?its are required year round for any open burning
within 500 feet of any woodland between midnight and 1
p.m. It is possible to burn debris within 100 feet of an oc
cupied dwelling without a burning permit only if one or
both of the following steps are taken
Prevention Step 1: The fire is confined in an enclosure
from which burning material cannot escape.
Prevention Step 2. The fire is in a protected area and
is being watched constantly by someone having ade
quate fire protection equipment with him such as a
charged water hose, bucket of water or sand, and
shovels or rakes.
Hurdle added that all burning may be cancelled dur
ing extremely dry conditions or during air pollution
advisories.
Permits may be obtained from County Ranger Hur
dle or from any of several burning permit agents
inrougnout uie county at no charge to the landowner.
Violations of this law could result in a fine of $50 or 30
days in jail or both, so please be very careful with fire at
all times and remember to obtained a burning permit.
To help citizens understand more about now fires
start, Hurdle released the Fire Occurance Report for
1978 that included information pertaining to Per
quimans County fires in the past year.
Fifteen fires were reported in the year, fewer than
usual spring fires due to an above average rainfall.
However, when the rainfall became scarce, In the sum
mer and fall, fires became more frequent.
^The average fire size was 2.5 acres, excluding one
W^ris fire which burned 40 acres. The reason this was
excluded from the other fires is because it was on new
ground and did not involve any woodland.
Debris burning fires were responsible for over one
half of the county fires. Hurdle stated, "These could
have been prevented it the proper precautions were
followed."

leagues got under way last week. The

The midgets play every Saturday morn

The way the economy is these days, any kind of tax relief is good news. That's why we
are pleased to announce a major tax break for Perdue growers.
: > j u Thanks to the recent government tax package, you, as a Perdue broiler house
owner, can now claim a iU7o investment credit on your iy/o ieaerai
income tax.
If you purchased one of our broiler houses last year, you can de
V duct 10% of its cost from the Federal income tax you'll owe.
Ih k [ That means you can subtract up to $6,000 from the bottom
m I n < line!
:i?ro i--: - - - - ? . ? . A ^ + rvrr <
And because this new tax law is retroactive to August, is / 1,
current Perdue growers who haven't claimed this credit in
the past can benefit as well.
If you're not presently a Perdue grower, but are interested
in earning up to $16,000 per year, plus saving as much
as $6,000 on your 1979 income tax, contact Perdue today.
The Perdue broiler house tax credit... making a good
thing even better.
