shore to include Portsmoutli T.s-
land and Core Banks. Woodrow
Price chairman, .said this could
be done if the federal {jovern-
ment will agree to provide
protection to that part of the
coast.
Four major items are the
.purpose of the negotiations:
1. Exten.sion of the fea.shore
recreation area,
2. The erection of a barrier
dune running along Portsmouth
j Island, Core Banks, and part of
>' Shackleford Banks.
3. The immedi.ato creation of
a channel as a .safe water high
way from Ocracoke to Beaufort.
4. Dredging and mainten;inco
of Barden’s Drum and Ocracoke

A.s head of n special report

Knston made the o'riginal I'oc-
ommendation, along with the
suggestion that if the state is
unable to provide protection of
the land, then it should be

Service if they will accept the
responsibility of the necessary
protection. The state at present

A recommendation by the

the replacement of the present

now has 36 members. The new
commission would have only 16

place the Cape Hatteras Sea

purpose would be to act as a

$500,000 to reinforce the shore
line along Cape Hatteras against
further erosion. Wirth. speaking
for the' iNational Park Ser\’icc,
said that the total estimated cost
would be $6 million and would
take a period of ten to twelve
years. (He indicated that the
Park Service was .stniggliiig

attempts to stabilize the coast
which includes roughly onc-third
of the Outer Banks.
He s.aid that Cape Hatteras
at one time had a fine shoreline.
“When settlers came here it
was at least 200 or 300 feet
farther out in the ocean. They-
cut down all the trees and then
grass came and they overgrazed

KILLED IN MISHAP
THURS. MORNING
Former Coast Guardsman and
K.D.H.” Police Succumbs to
Injuries When Pinned
Between Vehicles
An accident shortly before
noon Thursday took the life of
Nelson Avery Tillett, Kill Devil
Hills .Assistant Police Chief and
Dare Co. A. B. C. officer. A col
lision between Mr. Tillett’s
police car and the city dump
truck caused the tragedy.
Exact details of the accident
are uncertain, but C. A. York,
town commis.sioner stated ’ that
the accident happened about
11:30 a.m. Apparently Mr. Til
lett had been driving along the
highway and pulled off the road
behind the city truck, which was
parked on the highway.
'Mr. Tilleet^s car was halfway
off the road, an»l he had just
gotten out of the vehicle when
the truck, driven by city em
ployee Theron Corbell, bucked
into the side of the police car.
Corbell was unaware of Mr.
Tillett’s presence. The fifty-nine
year old police officer was pin
ned between the vehicles.
An ambulance arrived to take
Mr. Tillett to the hospital in
Elizabeth City, but when the
ambulance stopped for fir.st aid
at the office of Dr. C. N. Wright
in Jarvisburg, the officer had
died of his injuries.
Mr. Tillett had been associ-
atetl with the police department
of Kill Devil Hills for three
years. He was a retired Coast-
guardsman, having left the serv
ice as a Chief Boat.swain’.s mate
in 1953. He had previously run
the Coast Guard Station at
Caffey’s Inlet. He was a mem
ber of Manteo Lodge 521-AF&
AM.
Surviving him are his wife,
Zora Parker Tillett, whom he
married in 1927; two daughters,
.leanette Card, of Alexandria,
Va., and Sheryl Ann Tillett;

Filing Deadline April 1
Candidates who wish to file
for post of commissioner, under
the original charter, will have
opportunity to do so at the
town hall through Monday, April
1. As of press time Thursday,
two candidates had filed for the
posts, Tom McKiinmey and W.
A. Williams, Jr. of South Nags
Head. McKimmey is one of the
five named in the charter two
years ago.
AmendMcnt Bill
Said Progressing
According to information re
layed from Raleigh on Thurs
day morning, the bill which re
moves the non-resident voting
privileges from the charter was
making headway, and on Thurs
day was to have second read
ing, with passage likely on Fri
day. There has been some oppo
sition to this bill, largely from
non-residents, and for a while
it appeared that the proposal
might be rejecteil.
It is understood from town
officials of Nags Head that
something of a problem arose
in connection with financing of
the recently-approved water
works project, and that until
the charter was amended, or a
test case instituted in court to
affirm the validity of the origi
nal charter, financing of the
project is in doubt.
Assuming passage of the
amendment to the charter, the
town will be required to re
schedule its election proceedings,
and what has 'been accomplished
in registering voters and the
filing of candidates through
Api'il 1, may be nullified The
general election provisions
would then resemble that of

As a rc.sult of a petition set
before them early in February,
the Dare County Board of Com
missioner has given their ap
proval in establishing a special
election for the people of Hat-
teras. The election will deter
mine whether Hatteras will es
tablish a Fire Protecth’c Dis
trict, and at the same time set
the amount of the necessaiy tax
ation.
The Hatteras Volunteer Fire
Department has been in exist
ence several years, and due to
the heavy support given it by
community efforts, it owns con
siderablc fire fighting equip
ment. The election, if successful,
would call for a taxation of no
more than 15c on each $100
-valuation of property. At the
same time it will set the limits
of the district.
If the issue meets with the
voters’ approval on May 18th,
the County Commissioners will
be authorized to appoint the
members of the Fire Protective
Commission.
Registration for the election
will be between the hours of
9:00 A.M. and sunset, April 20th
through May 4th. May 11th has
been set as Challenge Day. Mrs.
W. H. Rollinson is the registrar,

COLUMBIA — The voters of
the Town of Columbia approved
a $228,000. water bond issue in
a special referendum Tuesday
March 26th by a margin of more
more than seven to one.
The vote was 180 to 24. More
than 60 persons had to be turned
away from voting due to lack of
pixiper registration.
The money will be used to
match Federal funds under the
Federal Acceleration Employ
ment Act, for the construction
of a public municipal water
system. The project has been
under discussion since Nov. 1962,
and much hard work and plan
ning has been done before the
i.ssue could be presented to the
citizens.
The .sy.stcm will consist of a
200,000 gallon tank of 100’ steel

In Ten Years Owners Would
Receive More Than Purchase
Price of Entire Area
'The stenographic transcript
of the he-nving by the Navy ami
Air Force and other interested
parties on the establishment of
a target range southwest of
Manns Harbor reve-ils that We.st
Virginia Pulp & Paper Co.
would receive an annual rental
of $162,000 per year for 55,000
acres more or less, which in the
ten year period it is propo.scd to
rent the land would yield far
more than the reported purchase
price of the entire 168,000 acres
bought by the company from
Fred Maloof for $1,340,000 in
1953.
It is also propo.sed to give the
company $80,000 the first year
for d.amage to timber which will
he cleared away from 8,000
arces to bo used for the target
area. Thus the total leasing cost
for the fir.st year i.s $242,000.
The Government then e.sti-
mates it will save the Air Force
over $2,000,000 a year by using
this area.
Congressman Herbert C. Bon
ner has made strenuous effort to
prevent location of a target
range anywhere in this distinct,
in response to popular appeal,
but a Committee named by
Governor Sanford, as well as
Federal officials considered the
Southwestern Dare County area
the least objectionable for the
purpose. In the hearing held a
week or more ago, Sir. Bonner
appeared and stated his views
and requested that all positions
taken be put into the record,
for any succes.sors of the prc.sent
officials to sec, and that they
might lie required to live up to
their commitments. Mr. Bonner
said at the hearing:
"The question of a target
range in Eastera North Carolina
gave me great concern in its
beginning. Tlie simple reason is
that I have a dnal responsibil
ity, as the representative of the
First Congressional District of
N. C. and as chairman of the
Merchant Marine Comm i t t ee
which has under its jurisdiction
certain obligations for the pro
tection of migratory waterfowl
under our treaty with Canada.
“Now the orgiginal site

ned for 55,000 acres of Dare
County. Chairman Lawrence L.
Swain presented for the Board’s
approval a resolution which is
planned for possible hearing by
the Armed Services Committees
of both the House and Senate as
well as the President in Wash
ington, D. C. Tile resolution was
adopted unanimously.
The i-esolution expkiined the
objections to the program rai.sed
liy Dare County residents. In
cluded were the possible ill ef
fects on the loc.nl wildlife, the
area aii- traffic, and the tourist
industry, with mention of the
Hatteras National Seashore, the
Lost Colony, the Wright Memo
rial, and the sports fishing in
dustry. The possibility of forest
fires, injury to wildlife, and the
annoying “sonic boom" as a
determent to tourist business
were made clear.
Particularly stressed was the
danger of losing the local oper
ations of the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Comp.nny, a
large economy boost to D.nrc
County, both directly .and in
directly. Company represent
atives have indic.nted that it
cannot continue its long range
refore.station efforts in the
proximity of such a bombing
range.
The resolution will be pre-
.sented in Washington if a hcai’-
ing is granted to the spoke.smon
from Dare County. The dead
line for such a submission is
April 5th, and no hearings will
be conducted after April ICth.
In addition, the board agreed
to enlist the services of Melville
Broughton as additional legal
aid to Dare County Attorney
Wnllaci* McCown, in the event
jthat such a hearing is granted.
Swain said he hoped for a pei'iod
of two and one-halt hours^ in
which to present the resolution.
Along with the greup will go
spokesmen for each group that
may suffer harmful effects from
!the range installation.
Swain was to leave Thursday
for Washington to attempt to
aiTunge the hearing with the
various committees.
$14,436 FEDERAL AID

$14,436 for fiscal year 1963.

K.D.H. TO ELECT MAYOR, CLERK.
FIVE COMMISSIONERS IN MAY
The Town Board of Kill Devil
Hills in session last Friday es
tablished registration dates in
preparation for the forthcoming
election in that municipality.
Registration will begin on Fri
day, April 19, and continue
open for seven days (excluding
Sunday) for the purpose of reg
istering those not previously
registered in the last municipal
election. Mrs. Jean Perry Beach-
am will serve as registrar, and
will sit at the town hall from
9:00 a.m. until 5 p.m. with ex
ception of Saturday, April 20,
when the books will be open
until 9 p.m. Mrs. Nina Miller
and Mrs. Dorothy Beasley will
serve as judges.
Challenge Day will be on Sat
urday, April 27, and the regis
trar and judges shall on that
date be a\’ailable to hear any
charges in this regard.
It is interesting to note that
in the resolution approved by
the board last Friday, that the
registrar will open the books
“for the purpose of recording
therein the names of all per
sons eligible to be registered
who did not register for the last
preceding municipal election.’’
This would apply to persons
who are not registered from the
election of two years ago, and
therefore, would serve as notice
that those who registered in the
recent special waterworks elec
tion, are registered only in that
legard, and must register again
to participate in the May elec
tion for town officials.
In the election to be held on
Tuesday, May 7, voters will
elect a mayor, treasurer and
five commissioners, for a term
of two years. Previously, Kill
Devil Hills citizens have elected
a three-man board, but due to
legislation during the last Gen
eral Assembly, board member- >
ship will be increased to five.
Catididates wishing to file for
office may do so at the town
hail through noon on April T9.
