OREGON INLET JOB
SET UP TO 60 IN
LATE FALL MONTHS
Col. Rowland. District Engineer
Getting Ready to Construct
$4,000 Project

Wilmington, August %. - The
long-awaited Oregon Inlet i'm
provement project on the States
Outer Banks has been scheduled
to begin late this yaer, according
to report by Col. H. C. Row
land, Jr., the Corps of Engineers
District Engineer here.
Colonel Rowland said the Dis
trict had been allocated $4,000
for dredging a channel IA feet
deep by 400 feet wide about three
miles long across the bar and
through the gorge to Pamlico
Sound.
From the three-mile point,
channel (Old House Channel) IL
feet deep and 100 feet wide will
be dredged for seven additional
miles to deep water in the sound.
The work in the 12-foot channel
is set to begin December 1 with
the remainder to start next March.
The 14-foot portion will require
the use of a sea-going hopper
dredge because wave action and
generally rough water prohibit the
use of pipeline dredge in open
waters.
The ALLEGATION does not include
funds for the 6-foot channel to
Manteo or for jetties to stabilize
the inlet channel.
Three additional network prof.
ects are scheduled to get under
way within the next several
months, the report points out,
A sum of $4,000 is on hand
now for a channel IL feet deep
and a basin IL by 200 by 900 feet
at Engelhard in Far Creek. This
job consists of some 100000 Gu
bic yards of dredging and is set
to begin next January. Far Creek
has current depth of seven feet.
Two waterway developments in
Carteret County are scheduled to
begin in early November. Plans
call for an entrance channel 6 by
go feet and basin of the same
depth and 100 feet wide by 600
feet long at Marshallberg. The
basin will start in Sleepy Creek
and extend eastward on lands own
ed by R. w. Neal, Irwin Moore,
Mrs. J. B. Jackson and Mrs. Leah
Hancock. A total of $4,000 has
been received to complete this
work.
Harkers Island, the second of
the Carteret projects, is scheduled
for two channels-one at the east
and one on the west end. They

and flourished awhile, but finally
went down about ten years ago,
following the death of some of its
oldest and most active members.
Many of those remaining, affiliat-
ed with an Elizabeth City Lodge.
The Grandmaster in N. C. at
this time is Baxter F. Finch, at
torney and Judge of StatesviIle.
The lodge was founded in Balti-
more 1877 years ago. 1t now main
tains SO homes for aged people
and orphans, spending four and a
half million dollars annually for
this purpose. 1t maintains an
orphanage at Goldsboro.

Numerous Cases Tried by Dare
Recorder tuesday; Two
Held For Robbery

Speeds of more than 100 miles
per hour figured in trials of two
young men held for reckless driv-
ing, and who were fined by Judge
w. F. Baum in Dare Recorders
Court in Manteo, Tuesday. James
NJ. Tuggle of Charlotte, who led
officers merry chase on the
beach at 102 miles per hour ad-
mitted his guilt, and boosted that
officers would never have caught
him had his motor been working
good. He was fined total of $500

sentence of six months.

showing off in Cadillac in Man

FINAL WEEK OF
THE 1855 SEASON
BEGINS TUESDAY,
Paid Attendance To Lost Colony
To August n. More Than
$4,000
By AYCOCK BROWN

Manteo. - Unless the weather
changes, more than 10000 persons
will pay admission to see Paul
Gren's symphonic drama The Lost
Colony, during the final 10 per-
formances of the 1856 season.
More tan $4,000 persons had seen
the show duripg the first As per-
formances of the current season,
or through Wednesday night this
week.
eve base our estimate on aver
aging 1000 persons each night
during the final ten nights from
previous seasons" said General
Manager Dick Jordan. "The last
week of the season comes each
year just after the tobacco mar
kets have opened in Eastern North
Carolina. From the rural areas, as
we'll as nearby metropolitan areas
such as Norfolk, come the big
crowds as the final performance
of the year approaches"
On Wednesday night, this week,
the attendance was LOO persons.
Only one performance during 1856
has been rained out. Last year
there were several rain or storm
outs as result of wet July and a
hurricane-harassed August.
while we are not expecting to
break any attendance records this
year, we should, if current fair
weather continues, be well ahead
of last season when the final per-
Torrance is presented on Sunday
night, September 2, or Labor Day
eve," said Jordan.
Another encouraging note ex-
pressed by Manager Jordan was
the fact that The Lost Colony is
financially in good shape as result
of this seasons operation.
He urged all persons who plan
to see The Lost Colony, with its
new actors of 1856 and some

FERRY SERVICE ACROSS
SOUND TO OCRACOKE is
PROMISED IN A YEAR

Ocracoke Island, whose charm
has been its isolation, soon will
be just a ferry boat ride away for
tourists and their cars.
The State Utilities Commission
issued a franchise for the new
ferry service last week to- Arthur
W. Daniels of Charlotte. He will
operate Cedar Island.
Daniels, a native of Carteret
who spends much of his time there
now on business, was the COM
mander of a submarine chaser
during World War l, the Commits
sion said. He proposes to use fer
ries approximately $50 feet long,
40 to so feet wide and capable of
carrying as many as % cars at a
time.
The Commission said he will
furnish as many boats and trips
as public demand requires and OBJ
served he showed conclusively
he had the financial ability to de-
liver, but it said he will need about
a year to get his boats, build
docks and start service.
The mainland terminal at Cedar
Island will lie at the end of US
20, about 1920 miles northeast of
Atlantic. On Ocracoke the ferries
will connect with a section of US
1913 now under construction on the
island.
Ocracoke now is served by a
boat operated out of Atlantic by
J. M. Saunders Jr. and Ansley
O'Neal. 1t carries passengers,
freight express and mail but does
not carry cars and trucks.
