HATTERAS BUS SUSPENDED
SERVICE UNTIL APRIL 1
In response to numerous in
quiries we have received, we offer
the following information:
After nearly 20 years of Con
stant, faithful service, the Hat-'
teras bus line suspended service
on October 1 and will not return
on schedule until April 1, Stock
ton Midgett announced this week.
The building of a road to Hat
teras has enabled just about every
one who travels to own an auto
mobile, and travel 'being light in
winter, operation of a bus is not
profitable.
The bus has been leaving Hat
teras each morning for Manteo,
returning in the afternoon.
The Midgett Brothers, Harold,
Anderson and Stockton have won
high praise for the faithful and
efficient manner in which the bus
was operated and served the public
through the many years when
there were no roads, and despite
weather.
But praise and appreciation is
not all that is required to run a
bus line.
