PAGE TWELVE SPEED ZONE PAYS JN $954 TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL FUND Season Nearing End For Profit From Beach Road Through Recorder's Court The season which has been so profitable to the Dare County schools—a harvest of traffic vio lators who forget the 35-mile zone at Nags Head, —is nearing an end. Each summer due to efforts of the State highway patrol, its pays liberal tribute in fines to the Dare County school fund through the county recorder’s court. Nearly all of it, like everything else enjoyed •by Dare County comes from out siders. For several years this 35-mile zone has been a jack-pot for Dare County schools, but next year the taxpayers may have to make up a little more money, for then the new super-highway down the beach will be finished and higher speeds will be permitted. In recorders court this week 13 persons paid fines of $lO each for exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph. They are Evelyn B. DeHart, Hickory, N. C.; Lowell D. Adams, Navy, N. Y.; C. E.

Almost before the breakwater was finished, it was evident that f boats stood a chance of being 5 bashed to pieces on the stone dur- > ing storms while attempting to » pass through the 60-foot-wide en -1 trance. 1 Allen Merritt, construction in- ■ spector for the Corps of Engineers under whose direction the system , was built, feels that the protective ; fenders are worth every penny of > the $9,203 paid E. W. Tate of ( Coinjock and T. J. Crooks, of Nor , folk, for building the structure. i The piling and timbers are i Greenheart from British Honduras. This type of material is highly ■ immune to marine borers and its . life is said to be unlimited. It is i intensely dense, so much so that it resists creosote treatment, and it will not float, sinks like lead. Sections of Greenheart have been under observation for some eight years at the International Nickel Company’s testing labora tory’ at Wrightsville Beach. The company found that the teredo borer attacked the sapwood part of the material during the first two years, but there appears to be no damage to the heartwood during the past six years. Greenheart was used for the fender systems at the Sunny Point Army Terminal near Southport on the Cape Fear River. An inspec tion there in June showed that teredo had eaten away sapwood but there was no damage to heart wood. Engineers who have studied the subject conclude that the heartwood, which is approximately two thirds of the piling, will give many years of durable life. The newest completed job at Hatteras is one of many projects that has resulted from the contin ued efforts of Congressman Her bert C. Bonner over a period of years with the cooperation of sev eral leading businessmen of the community. BIRTHS Born to Mr. and Mrs.' Everette W.
