VOLUME XXIV NO. 48 BOARD EFFECTED BIG SAVING IN COURT EXPENSE Refused to Waste Money on Ju rors, Resulting In Lower Cost This Week Had the County Commissioners yielded to the request to summon 60 jurors to Manteo for the term of court this week, it would have cost the county S4BO a day as long as the term might last. But com monsense dictated they draw a smaller number, with the net re sult the two days of court cost only $434 for service of jurors. This is merely an example of how money in the past has been wasted, and had the large number been,called, the taxpayers could have been out $1,500 to $2,000. This term was presided over by Judge Malcolm Paul of Washing ton, and as usual, many cases had to be continued. A number of cases were settled by willingness of de fendants to offer guilty pleas for lesser crimes than originally charged. Robert Lee Garrett and Donald Massie, who with Ronald Ainsley were involved in breaking into and stealing from the Marx cottage in Kitty Hawk, could not come to trial as they are prisoners in Vir ginia. Ainsley pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, and the court order ed a two-year jail sentence sus pended on good behavior for five years, and to pay court costs, and the sum of $162 for repayment of damages. The D. A. Rogers, Jr. case could not be tried, as Marvin Daniels, complaining witness, is in a hos pital. Gethsemane Gallop, the colored man who lost his horse and cart when struck by a motorist, had asked a jury to hear his case. He conducted his case in masterful manner, told the jury, “I lost my horse and cart, that’s all I can say,” and was acquitted to the de light of the spectators. Willie McClease, an old offender, got 12 months for his last break in, at Wise’s Market in Manteo. Jon Arthur Williams got a six months sentence, suspended on good behavior, and was ordered to pay sls. He had appealed from a judgment in a case involving re sisting arrest, damage to the jail, etc. C. C. Baum, Jr. of Avon pleaded nolo contendre to having shot Jer ry Williams, and was allowed to pay court costs and a total of S3OO by October term of court, for the benefit of Williams, the wounded man. Divorces were granted to Vir ginia Davis from Jesse Davis, and to R. H. Gray, Jr. from Mildred Gray, both of Wanchese. It is of interest, that the serv ices of a court stenographer for the day and a half of court cost the county $131.78. Total cost of term $565.83. The Grand Jury this week rec ommended storage space for the Roanoke colored school at Manteo and commended principal Joe Dempsey for his work in improv ing the auditorium by addition of drapes and a stage. Recommended painting of the Manteo grammar school and addition of Venetian blinds. Repairs to ceilings and to window panes, and shelter for passing to lunch room. The Grand Jury took a whack at teachers who smoke in front of their pupils, and recommend they be required to smoke in their lounge. It also recommended re pairs for the floor of the stage in the new high school; equipment for home ec and manual training shop, seats for gym, and sidewalks to main entrance and gym and flood lights installed along the building and gymnasium for night use. H. O. Bridges of Wanchese was foreman, and Mrs. Velora B. Meek ins, Secretary. HOMECOMING PLANNED FOR MANNS HARBOR CHURCH The annual homecoming for the Manns Harbor Methodist Church is scheduled for June 14th, accord ing to Rev. Geo. M. Kelley, the pastor. All members and friends are cordially invited to be present for this day of fellowship, Mr. Kelley says.

Authorizes District to execute promissory notes, conditional sales contracts, chattel mortgages, or lease purchase contracts for per iod of not more than three years from date of contract, etc., at in terest on unpaid balance not to ex ceed 6% per annum; and author izes District to levy ad valorem tax in amount sufficient to pay principal and interest on contract when due.) To Finance. Mr. Etheridge has also intro duced a bill, copy of which is not available, but was requested by the Dare County Waterways Com mittee and won concurrence from the Board of Commissioners, wherein authority will be given the Board, if, as and when it ever has any surplus from unappropriated funds other than ad valorem taxes, it may assist communities on a matching basis to clean out and develop their small harbors.

Elizabethan Garden Officials Meet in Manteo With Architects Who Designed the Garden Officials of the Elizabethan Garden on Roanoke Island dis cussed final planting plans with Umberto Inocenti and Richard Webel at a meeting here during the past week end.

BAD INJURIES WHEN CARS COLLIDE ON BEACH ROAD The collision of two cars early Saturday morning on the Nags Head beach road, resulted in ser ious injuries for Mrs. Albert W. Webb of Virginia. She was trans ferred to the Albemarle Hospital for treatment of a mangled arm. She was riding with her husband in a 1958 Ford ranch wagon, when it was struck head on by a 1957 Chevrolet which was driven by 22- yr.-old Desmond R. Foster of Fris co.

BARE HAND FISHERMAN Robert the 8-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Midgett, Norfolk, visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Midgett in Manteo last week end made an unusual catch. While swimming in Roanoke Sound at Mother Vineyard he saw a flounder on the bottom, made a dive for the fish and caught it with his bare hands. It was the first time one so young has caught a fish with his bare hands in lo cal waters in some time. The flounder weighed about one pound. FERRY COSTLY LUXURY STATE CANNOT AFFORD Mac Neill and County Officials Plead Dare's Road Needs at Edenton Speaking on behalf of his Hat teras Island neighbors for the past 12 years, Ben Dixon Mac Neill, who recently wrote the successful book, “The Hatterasman,” told the State Highway Commission Thursday in Edenton that ferries are a costly luxury the State cannot afford. Mac Neill was speaking in behalf of a bridge over Oregon Inlet. He was accompanied to Edenton by Supt. Bob Gibbs of the Cape Hat teras National Seashore. Mac Neill said the 300,000 visi tors a year to Hatteras Island now made it practicable for the state to abandon the ferries in favor of a bridge. Appearing also in behalf of Hatteras Island were Victor Meek ins, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, and Woodrow Ed wards, Commissioner from Waves. Meekins told the Commission also that the bridge has become essen tial to fill today’s needs, but the urgent need right now, so people could make a living was to repair the 50 miles of highway which has become the economic lifeline of Ocracoke Island as well as of Hatteras Island. Mr. Edwards con tinued with the discussion of the needs of this bridge. Appearing from Kitty Hawk was a delegation for whom Commis sioner David Stick was principal spokesman, who urged the High way Commission to build a bridge on U .S. 158, near the east end of the Currituck Sound Bridge. This bridge, it was pointed out, was important for the safety of ves sels, for the drainage of a vast See MEETING, Page Eight DARE BOARD FACES A TOUGH BUDGET BATTLE IN JUNE Commissioners Will Have to Urge Various Departments to Aid Essential Economies When the Dare County Com missioners settle down in June to prepare the budget for the fiscal year, July 1 to June 30, 1960, they will find requests for additional funds that would require almost double the present tax rate. De spite the general knowledge that the county is in the worst financial situation in many years, due to under-budgeting, and disregard of funds budgetted, there appears a universal demand that the Com missioners dig up a lot more mon ey for the coming year. The lack of consideration shown by several departments for the taxpayers who can’t all pay their taxes on the present rate, is a matter of much concern. It is a critical matter when some depart ments are overpaid, and others un derpaid or improperly staffed. .Largest increase is being asked by the Board of Education. This Board, which got only $60,000 granted last year and which needs more money of course, is asking for $150,500. And of course, it is not likely it will receive all this money for other things must be considered. There are some large items asked which most likely will have to wait. For instance, $20,- 000 is asked for re-wiring the Manteo elementary school; SIO,OOO for a new schoolroom at Cape Hat teras. Two teachers entirely at county expense, one for the Negro school, and one for the Manteo school, costing $8,840. In addition to other things, the Board will ask $9,090 for two buses and drivers to effect the transfer of the 125 pupils of the Wanchese school to Manteo. Pay of SI,OBO for an extra janitor is needed in one of the schools. The Board of Education is up against a tight financial situation* in that it has two large new school buildings, one at Manteo and one at Kitty Hawk, which need a lot of equipment. The operation of these large buildings, considering cost of heat and other factors, add up to • , -'xnense than the old build- ings they replace. The Board of Education "will now be faced with I need for practicing economies which have been ignored before. For instance, last year, in the face of a tight financial situation, used SIO,OOO to buy a house and lot which stood near the new Kitty Hawk school, but which stands idle and useless to the sys tem. At Christmas time they divid ed up more than $3,000 in cash Christmas presents to teachers. While now the Board of Education has on its hands two fine new buildings which are costing the taxpayers, it shows practically no awareness of the county’s financial situation upon scrutiny of this year’s budget requests.

Mack Etheridge of Wanchese re i ported that Bill Merritt, a neigh bor, had reeled in a yard-long blue fish on Tuesday, had it in the dip net but lost it before it could be landed. This whopper was hooked in lower Roanoke Sound near Wan chese. Elsewhere in all Dare waters, many thousands of blues from snapper size to three pound ers are being landed daily. 1 Bottom Fishing Begins ’ With one party of three boating 10 bluefish and 40 flounders in a : half day of boat casting, bottom . fishing was off to a good start ■ from Mack’s Fishing Center at Wanchese this week.
