objection, anything added would be
superfluous.
Fifth: If the Board of Aldermen
of Wrightsville Beach will examine
the tax books of New Hanover
County, they will readily see that
the entire valuation of all the beach
property north of Carolina Beach,
where the inlet is proposed to the
southern side of Masonboro inlet, is
of comparatively small value. It is
owned by comparatively few peo-
pie. We believe herein lies the cru.
of the whole complaint If real
estate development is to be under
taken at the expense of the tax
payers of New Hanover County
and the State of North Carolina, ii
is well, indeed, that the matter be
brought into full light of cay so
that all may see just who is in the
woodpile. If scores of fishermen
are denied the right to reap from
their labor a hundred thousand dol
lars or more each year, through
selfishness and avarice, we want to
know who is responsible.
Sixth: We have full confidence
in both our Board of County Com
missioners and the Board of Com
missioners of the City of Whining
ton. We believe the scales of JUS
tice and right dip deeply in favor
of those who requested and receiv
ed the endorsements of these

emily leave our case"

OPERATORS
LICENSES
Yearly Licenses to Go On Sale
in January Instead of
Month of April
NO PERMANENT LICENSE

Sale of annual operators licenses
will begin in January, 1916, offic-
ials of the State Motor Vehicle Di-
vision said Monday although the
current licenses do not expire until
May 81. Heretofore many motor
lists did not apply for their annual
drivers licenses until April or the
following month. However, it is
planned to advance the sale of the
yearly licenses next year to relieve
the customary rush during May
and also because of the probable
resumption of automobile inspec-
tions next April. 1t was empha-
sized also that no permanent oper-
ators licenses will be sold during
May as the division offices will be
too busy renewing the annual driv-
ers' licenses. The annual license
fee is 81 and the permanent license
costs $5.

TIRE RATION

The governments expressed hope
that tire rationing can end early

sharply. The OPA announced that
production has increased consider
ably during the past few weeks,
and barring work stoppages, is
expected to attain the scheduled
production goal of 100000 (pas-

a few days ago that CPA hoped to
end tire rationing Shortly after
the first of the year or there
abouts."

MILFORD LOSES DECORATIONS
AND SANTA CLAUS HOUSE BY FIRE

Milford's Santa Claus is home
less and the town is without its
Yuletide observation-disclosures of a
fire Friday afternoon. If materials
are available and labor is handy,
town officials will make an hercu-
lean effort to replace the tradition
al wooden Santa Claus House and
the street decorations but no one
there is that optimistic. The Santa
Claus House which used to be
placed on the Walnut Street Bridge
was always magnet for the
youngsters of Milford and sur
rounding country. They would
flock there near Christmas time to
meet the old chubby gent, confide
their Christmas dreams and get
candy-and some encouragement.
Arches Spanned District
The decorations consisted large
ly of 20-foot high arches-five of
them-that spanned the business
district streets and were emblazon-
ed with lights and signs of Merry
Christmas - You Are Welcome" I"
The house which is a collapsible af-
fair, and the arch decorations were

stored in building owned by the
Draper Cannery in the rear of Cal
vary Church. The decorations and
the Santa Claus House were to
have been erected Saturday.
Stand In Vacant Building
This material had been at the
Milford electric light plant, but as
space was not available there for
the reconditioning, the Draper Can
merry Company allowed the city to
place the material in vacant
building, owned by them, which
was situated on Southwest Front
Street. The work on these fixtures
had just been finished, and work of
repainting had been completed by
Charles Shields. Mr.. Shields went
out of the building to secure some
material, and when he returned the
interior was a mass of flames. The
Carlisle Fire Company was called
and soon had several streams play
ing on the fire. Before it was ex-
tinguished the interior was Quilted,
and the decorations, the pride of
Milford at Christmas time, were
practically destroyed.
