offer will just cover the $25 the
town owes for having the building
moved to a location across from
the postoffice and $25 for having
the site graded. The land; which
belongs to the Manteo Furniture
Co., was to be used temporarily by
the town at a nominal rental of 81
year.
After the building was moved, it
was found to be unsuitable for re-
modelling as had been planned. To
turn the outside from an eyesore
into something creditable would
cost at least $1,000 and the inside
also would have to be remodeied.
The building was one used by
workmen when Mr.. Hardee was
having his new home built.
The mayor and commissioners
took up at the meeting the need
for immediate money to carry on
town business before taxes can be
available. Mayor Murphy explained
that before taxes could be collect
ed, the town would have to have a
property assessment. This will be
taken off county books and will
cost approximately 500, he esti-
mated.
Although the commission some
time ago decided to levy 10-cent
ad valorem tax, it cannot be col
lected until the assessed valuation
is available. Mayor Murphy
thought that 1853 taxes couldn't
be collected before January, for
this reason, and that meantime
the town would need $4,000 to car
ry on it's business.
Among Kill Devil Hills residents
sitting in on the meeting, B. w.
Watkins and w. R. Deaton offered
to see some of their neighbors to
get contributions toward that
fund. Capt. w. H. Lewark, C. A.
York and others present also Of
fered to help and several checks
were turned over to the town clerk,
Mrs. Mile Osmon.
Because of the presence of a
number of property owners at the
meeting, Mayor Murphy reviewed
what the town has undertaken
since it's incorporation and what
some of it's goals are.
In this connection, Herbert Nor
rison, one of the commissioners,
commented that he knew some>peo-
pie were criticizing the new towns
government, but that members of
the commission had much to learn
about administration and were sim
cerely trying to serve the public.

YORK TO RENT
NEW BUILDING
TO KILL DEVIL
Town to Pay 81 Per Day Rent
for Use of Structure to
Be Erected at Once

Kill Devil Hills.-Within 60 days
the town of Kill Devil Hills is to
occupy a building to be erected on
the west side of the highway, in
Avalon Beach, which it will rent
for 81 day on five year lease.
The mayor and commissioners,
in an open meeting held at the
Edgewater hotel Tuesday night,
accepted a proposal from C. A.
York of the Avalon Supply Co.
His offer was to erect one-story
building which is to be of masonry
construction with a minimum of
400 square feet of floor space, in
Guiding office space of 100 square
feet. This would give the town adj
ministration a place for meetings,
as well as an office.
Mr.York supplemented his writ
ten offer by saying that II at some
later date it could be proved to be
for the best interests of the COM
munity to move the city hall, he
would release the town, even
though the lease had not expired
The building to be erected by
York will solve a problem which
the administration has faced ever
since it organized. Mayor J. L
Murphy pointed out that his home
was being turned into public
building by persons coming there
to handle business with the town
and that he considered public
place for open meetings to be es.
sential.
Before accepting Mr.. York's of
fer, the commission voted to ac.
cept one from Capt. w. H. Lewarl
of $50 for a structure given the
town by N. A. Hardee of Norfolk
Va, and Kill Devil Hills, which
proved unsuitable for remodeline
for a town hall. The mayor was
instructed to contact Mr.. Hardet
to explain the situation. The $50

Barry Farms Referred
To New Committee
For SIum Study

The Districts Slum Rehabilita-
tion Committee today had a pin
pointed target for study-a pro-
posal to redevelop the Barry
Farms subdivision in Southeast
Washington.
The District Redevelopment
Land Agency. supported by local
real estate interests, advanced
the study idea to the Commits
sioners yesterday. The city
heads, after making a few pre-
liminary inquiries, referred the
suggestion to the committee,
created last month to seek
means of preventing slum condi-
tions here.
Barry Farms consists of 95
acres containing 191 homes,
according to land agency off,
Gals. Designated some time ago
as a blighted area by the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission, it is located roughly
between Howard road and the
north boundary Of st. Elizabeths
Hospital, just east of Nichols
avenue.
Hills and Ravines.
The area in general is topo-
graphically rugged, having
number of steep hills and ravines
that complicate construction, to
say nothing of an impracticable
street layout that fails to blend
with the highway pattern of the
surrounding neighborhood.
These complications have dis
couraged builders from develop
ing Barry Farms. For that rea-
son, the area is one of the few
remaining large tracts of open
land left within the city con-
fines.
In addition, Congress wrote
into the Housing Act of 1949 a
provision that blocks use of pub
lie redevelopment funds in both
the Barry Farms and the Mar
shall Heights subdivisions.
Residents Halted Rehabilitation.
The ban apparently was p'in-
cipally aimed at halting develop
ment of Marshall Heights, a 180-
acre tract near the District line
and East Capitol street. This
area was the first redevelopment
project ever undertaken by the
land agency. Ire program was
stopped when the outcry of resi-
dents, fearing dispossession, was
heard on Capitol Hill.
What the land agency, Joined
by the Washington Area Home
builders Association, proposed in
effect yesterday was that the
Commissioners try to prevail on
Congress to remove the rede-
velopment prohibition as it ap-
plies to Barry Farms.
