The Elizabeth City pOstOffice re-
ports the greatest Christmas bust
ness il its history and quicker
cleanup of Christmas business than

did not have more deliveries than
they could handle on Christmas
morning.
Figures are not available for the
total amount of business handled
thru the local pOstOffice during the

INLET QUESTION TO
BE HEARD JANUARY 3
New Inlet Still Holds Chief Inter-
est But Others Are Considered :.

Northeastern North Carolina
fishermen are looking forward with
interest to the meeting of the Fish
cries Board in Raleigh on January
, which is to discuss the question
of opening an Inlet on the coast for
which $1OO.O0O was appropriated by
the last General Assembly.
Many locations for the inlet have
been proposed, including Kitty
Hawk beach: Nags Head beach
New inlct Beach: Cape. Channel
beach near IIatteras: "yhr Drain
near Cape Lookout. and "Old Drum
Inlet" beach in the same county OF
Carterct.
However. the orr .sinal purpose
in getting the appropriation was T."
improve the fishing industry by
making it possible for anadromonS
and migratory fish To make their
way into the upper s"lu,S and
rivers of North Carolina. For this
reason. the discussion of opening an
inlet south of UattrraS has little
consideration. The majority of the
fisherman looking to the rc-Opcnlng
of New Inlet which has h""n closed
two years. and which was ever
considered the greatest gateway in
North Carolina for Shad and herring
on their way to the breeding
grounds i'm The upper sounds.
Ii is pointed cut too. that N"nng
shGd ana herring when maxim" their
way ont to sea in the summer. con-
grcgHtc in great numbers, hy t''aS-
ON of existing currents and chan
mel formations. at i,4r beach whore
New Inlet formerly existed. Such
is said tO have been the case this
paSt summer. when thousands of
young herring Jud shld died in the
sounds while sr,t,ng way 10 the
ocean.
Another reason why the fisher
men favor New inlet. is that they
realize they can have no other i'll
let opened with the present app"O-
priation of 100000, because the
consulting engineer and many cX-
ucricnrcd fishermen have made low
or estimates on this inlet than on
any other. And something must bc
saved for maintenance.
The cost of opening an inlet nj
Kitty Hawk is estimated AT S2!'S,-
600 as the minimum: at New Inlet
SJ9,51O. or minimum of $2l 600:
Cane Iattcras S150.1jO. or mini
mum of $5S.000; and Drum Inlet
S77.JJO. The figures are from The
report of the appraising engineer.
AS a result of the declining i'll
duStry. hundreds of fishermen are
becoming poorer and poorer each
year.
1t is pointed out 10y Fishermen in
Crontan and lower AlbcEIarle se"-
ton that unless there can he an out
let for the fresh water from the
Roanoke River. fishing in those
sections will be ruined, and an inlet
south of New Inlet would not serve
this purpose for the reason that the
water from tl.rscSsOunu, tends ID
back up III inc New Inlet section
and IL. immediate tributarie@.

About 1873 Acres.

Fort Hunt, Va, on the Potomac
river nearly opposite Fort Washing
ton, Md, is to be abandoned as A
military reservation and sold to the
highest bidder for farming or resi-
Dental purposes. 1t contains about
1873 acres on what Is known as Sherf-
dams Point, in Fairfax county, and

John Miller since 1893. Modern en-
placements mounted with high-power
guns were installed and barracks
and officers quarters built at heavy
expense. Designed to protect the
National Capital from invasion by
the water route. 1t is regarded as no
longer necessary for that purpose.
Orders for its total abandonment in
tho near future were inspired by
reasons of expediency and economy.
The Coast Artillery Corps and
ordnance personnel now at Fort
Hunt will be transferred to Fort
Washington for permanent station
and the finance school established
there will be removed to temporary
building. No. 5, at the corner Of 2lst
