Dear Sir:
Yesterday Sunday a fire &C
Cured in one of my trucks in the
garage where there are other
trucks. 1t was a gasoline fire
which, if it were not for whole
hearted spirited citizens, would
have resulted in a very large des-
truction of properties surround
ing the place.
/ called on the Fire Department
and was told that no one was on
duty. The above mentioned fire
occurred around 900 am. / was
advised that the men do not come
on duty until 100 pm. therefore
/ had mo- other recourse than to
try and get it put out the best l
could with the help ! had around,
which we were able to do after
about an hours work.
The fact that the men do not
report for duty until one o'clock
was borne out by the local in
spector here, Mr.. Lloyd Canegata.
/ asked him why the men were
not on duty. He said it was due
to the fact that they were short
of men, and with the few they
have, they are only allowed to
work 40 hrs. per week.
The above is brought to the
public's attention to show what
we are up against and it is re-
quested that the authorities res
ponsible take the necessary ac-
ton in remedying this deplorable
situation. If the men and myself
did not work so Fundamentally,
keeping wits on at all times, this
gasoline fire could have turned
out to be quite destructive IN this
area with SO many trucks, cars

DIAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
PLANNED FOR. COMMUNITIES
LOWER HATTERAS ISLAND

The Norfolk & Carolina Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company has
recently completed a new telephone
exchange building located in the
village of Buxton and has extend
ed some local exchange cables in
the village of Buxton for provid-
ing local service when the new
system is installed. Additional
lines, cables and other facilities
will also have to be provided to
Hatteras and Avon for dial system
service.
The new dial telephone system
will serve Buxton, Hatteras, Avon
and surrounding area. The system
would be similar to the present
system now serving the coastal
areas of Kill Devil Hills. Kitty
Hawk and Mays Head.
Company plans contemplate the
free interchange of local exchange
service between Avon, Buxton and
Hatteras without the usual appli-
cation Of toll service charges now
in effect for messages between
these points. The monthly fiat rate
service charges would apply for all
stations connected through the new
dial exchange and long distance
charges would continue in effect on
all messages to points beyond the
three areas mentioned above.
The dial switchboard system
has been ordered, and it is antici-
pated that it will take approx
mately "a months to complete the
manufacturing and installation of
the necessary equipment, as all
systems of this character must be
manufactured and designed to suit
the particular areas to be served.
In the meantime, the company
will receive applications from its
existing subscribers for the new
service, as well as applications
from proposed subscribers for the
new service.

DANIELS DISPUTES
JUSTICE OF PAYING
ATTORNEYS BILLS
Register Of Deeds Throws vigor
IN Fight 10 Stop Costly Legal
Bills to Dare County

When the County Commissioners
of Dare got around to paying bills
Tuesday, Melvin R. Daniels, Clerk
to the Board, saw red. What set
him on fire was a number of bills
sbnitted by three attorneys in
Manteo for work in looking up the
names of property owners living
along the Dare Beaches, where
sand dunes are being thrown up as
a protection against sea tides, and
on which the county is spending
$4,000 in Civil Defense relief
funds.
Mr.. Daniels declared the charges
of the lawyers outrageous, and url-
earned. He used strong language,
and when fire started to fly, ladies
present left the room, and the
commissioners shut the door and
held a closed session, but the Reg
lister Of Deeds did not silence his
guns.
"In my 80 years as Clerk to
this Board, have never at any
time tried to influence their ac-
tions, or to tell them how to run
the county's affairs" he said "But
have my rights as citizen, and
/ object to wasting the people's
money on the payment Of thous-
and dollars or more to these law
yers, when they have done nothing
to earn it, and the work is not
even done, and would cost another
thousand or more dollars to get
these easements.
"You can discount the fact that
l dislike one of these law firms. II
has nothing to do with my posi-
ton in this matter. l just don't
like to see the county being CHS
eled like this"
While these may not be the ex-
act words, they are about the sub
stance of what he said, if maybe
not quite as strong as the Ian
guage used.
How 1t Began.
The story begins earlier when
the county found it had some $685..
600 to spend in pushing up sand
fences. In order to go ahead with
the project, the Board was advised
they must get easements from the
land owners. County Attorney Mar
tin Kellogg, Jr. was instructed to
get the easements to protect the
county. The County Board might
have thought they could pay the

DARE BOARD CONCERNED
OVER CARTERET co. LANDS
Commissioners in Manteo Resolve That
Portsmouth Island Remain Pri-
vately Owned

1t is sometimes difficult to fig
ure the reasoning in actions of the
Dare County Commissioners, as
witness a resolution adopted by
the board this week having to do
with the ownership of property on
Portsmouth Island over in Car
teret County. Skipping across
Ocracoke in Hyde County, they re-
solved that Portsmouth Island
must forever remain in private
ownership, and not become part
of any park plan.
The Board also expressed its
disapproval of any recommended
tons for a zoning commission
which might have to do with the
improvement of property and con-
ditions on Hatteras Island.
OF course their action was with
out forethought or consideration,
as they were merely acquiescing
in requests brought to them by
citizens who were inspired by real
estate promoters, who see in the
Seashore National Park a threat
to schemes for private personal
profit in real estate. Some weeks
ago, group of Pennsylvania Uni
versity students came into the
area to make a study of the Ma
tional Seashore, and wrote out a
long list Of things they recon-
mended should be done. For some
strange reason, it set lot of
people on fire. The Dare Board
also voted to disfavor any of their
conclusions about transportation in
the area.
James M. Vannote resigned as
Civil defense head in Manteo, and
Robert X. Gum was appointed in
his stead. Fred True of Manteo
was also appointed County CO.
ordinator for this work.
The board approved request
for state maintenance of a road
in Hatteras Community, about
three-fourths a mile long serving
10 homes, and extending from a
point near the hotel past the AL
bert Austin home. This request
was brought to the board by M.
L. Burrus, Willard Balance and
Wheeler Balance. The Board also
state maintenance of
four-tenths Of mile Of road ex-
tending from the Mashoes high
way toward East Lake where a
area is being developed.
It also asked for the Improvement
of certain roads at Avon.

FUND FOR STREET
WORK IN MANTEO
GROWING YEARLY
Town Has More Than $1,000 on
Hand; Nearly $3,5oo.oo
Owing in Unpaid
Assessments

Some inquiry has been made as
to why the town of .Manteo is not
going ahead with the hard surface
on more streets. At the present
time the town has only three paved
streets running east and west, and
some short sections of street run
ming north and south, and Of those
running east and west, the widest
and best one was built entirely
from highway funds.
The town has accumulated from
the past three years ALLEGATIONS, a
tota of $5,291.92 from Powell
funds sent from Raleigh by the
State Highway Commission. Since
the usual annual allotment is
about the same as that recently
received for the current year,
single years sum would not go far
and the results from letting q
small contract would make costs
prohibitive. The town board be.
lieves by letting the funds accum.
ulate, the money can be spent
more advantageously, Martin Kel.
logg, Jr.. the mayor, said this
week.
The usual method of paving 6
street is to get the property own
ers on each side of street to pay
the cost of third each, and the
town to pay one third. But unfor'
tunately, a number of property
owners have not paid these assess
ments, although they pledged t.
pay, on three of the most recently
paved streets. Fourteen propert!
owners on Main Street alone, have
not paid their share as pledged, il
amounts ranging from 500 to $461
and a total of $2,052.57.
On Road Street two property
owners owe total of $339.76, anC
on Church st. three property own
ers owe unpaid shares totalline
$5S0.68. In all, more than $5,500.0(
is owing, and has been owing fol
several years. If this money coulC
be collected, it would go a Ions
way toward aiding the surfacint
of other streets.
But for necessity of paying il
order to get loans or to give cleal
title to property being sold, the
amount due the town would be
much larger, as some of the larg
est property owners and mos
prominent of citizens are uncon
cerned about making good on theil
public obligations.

SAYS "OMAR BABUN"
NOT WORTH NEAR
100000 CLAIMED
Norfolk shipbuiIder Fights DAM
age Claim Of Owner Whose
Ship Caught Fire

The much publicised cargo-con-
verted Navy net-tender Omar
Babun, which was pulled off the
beach at Rodanthe in 1854, and
taken to Norfolk, only to catch
fire in drydock, was never worth
the $150,000 her owner seeks as
damages, the Norfolk Shipbuilding
and Drydock Corp. has claimed in
U. S. District Court.
The shipbuilding firm asked dis
missal of suit originally brought
in Norfolk Court of Law and
Chancery by E. A. Canipe, Have
lock, N. C. auto dealer.
Even before the Oct. 16, 1854,
fire the 97-foot Omar Babun twas
never worth anything like $780,
000," the shipbuilder asserted.
The firm said at the time of the
fire.. which occurred while the ves-
sci was in drydock at Berkeley, the
Omar Bubun was in the custody
of the U. S. marshall.
No arrangement was made for
fire insurance, and if such had
been done "the promise would be
without valuable consideration"
the answer added.
Aground Near ROdanthe
The Omar Babun, built in 1914
as Navy submarine net tender,
was sailing as a merchant vessel
of Honduran registry when her
master drove her ashore 8 miles
north of Rodanthe, N. c., on May
IA, 1854, to keep ship and cargo
of heavy machinery from sinking
in an Atlantic storm.
Salvage at first was considered
impossible. Canipe bulldozed
sand ramp to the vessel and re-
moved the cargo.
Using her own winches to take
in anchor cable slack, the Omar
Babun inched herself over a sand
bar to freedom &C days after she
was beached. This operation has
been done several times on the N.
c. coast but was widely hailed as
something never done before.
The ship was drydocked at Berk-
ley in July, 1854. Two months
later, fire broke out in her dynamo
room.
In the meantime the marshal
had attached her in connection
with a 100000 share-the-profits
suit a diver and a mechanic
brought against Canipe. The suit
later was dismissed.
The ship cleared Norfolk for
Morehead City on Oct. Is, 1866.
Canipe sued Sept. z, claiming
he was assured by the shipbuilder
that the vessel was covered BY a
blanket insurance policy.
The case was removed later in
the month 70 Federal Court.
