BLUEFISH RUN REPORTED
GREATEST IN MANY YEARS

From Southern Shores to Ocra-
coke, great hordes of bluetish were
hitting bait and lures of anglers
this week, regardless of where an
angler was fishing. On Wednesday
night Ranny Jennette of Buxton
called Manteo to report that more
than 1000 blues had been landed
by some 40 fishermen casting in
the surf at Cape Hatteras. The
fish were still biting at dusk and
with weather conditions such as
they are, this should be record
breaking bluefish weekend, at all
Dare coast points.
Earlier Wednesday,, Brantley
Brown, covering Oregon Inlet with
his camera, reported that all ang-
ler-laden boats in the area had
caught plenty Of blues. "Some OF
them ran to 21a pounds each" he
said, and added 'they also caught
channel bass" E. P. White Of Bux-
ton reported unusually good catch
eS.
Jack Willis at Ocracoke report
ed earlier this week that anglers
there were catching channel bass
in the surf and also by casting
from boats anchored in sloughs
near Ocracoke Inlet.
Hatteras reported an unprece-
dented number of blues in the in
let there, and also several channel
bass landed during the week. Gull
Stream fishing was also reported
on the upgrade.

II. If it Is the consensus that

who should carry the increased

Is. The consultant proposes to
control density by the floor area
ratio method "a device for con-
trolling building bulk by limiting
the area of all floors in the
building to a certain percentage
of the area of the surrounding
lots. Is this preferable to a
density control which limits the

80. Will the limitations on size

the building of houses and also
render many lots worthless?
SO. Under the R-5-A, R-5-B

46. Would it not be desirable
to have uniform definitions for

At. Would the proposed new

to bring under the coming regu-

Sugar Factory
Run Viii
About IFS Days

In the article in The Herald
two weeks ago on the start of
the sugar beet harvest and the
beginning of the Holly factory
slicing campaign, it was stated
that the factory run would last
IL days when as a matter of fact
factory official had announced
that il would be 125 days. Dur
ing that time a greater tonnage
of beets- from one of the best
crops harvested since the factory
commenced operating in the sea-
son of 1925 will be sliced. The
harvest is speeding along with
a minimum of hand labor as
modern motor powered machine
ny is doing the work that in the
early years Of the industry here
required hundreds of imported
Mexican field workers. With IA
vorable weather, and that is the
prospect, it will be completed in

1858 Woo.
Incentive Price
Same. As In 1857

The Department of Agriculture
has announced that the shorn
wool incentive price for the mar
keting year beginning April /,
1858 will be 81 cents per pound,
the same a. for the 1855, 1856 and
1857 programs.
The incentive level is 90% of
the September Is parity price of
shorn wool. Incentive prices are
established by the Secretary of
Agriculture under the National
Wool Act of 1854 which directs
him to take into consideration
prices paid and other cost Sun-
ditions affecting wool production
in determining an incentive level
to encourage production of 300
million pounds of shorn wool an
nually. Under the act, the top in
centive level is 1907 of parity and
payments are limited to 70% of the
specific duties collected on i'm
ports of wool and manufactures of
wool over a period of years. 1t is
estimated that payments under
the 1858 program will virtually
exhaust funds available.
Payments to producers under
the 1858 shorn wool program and
on the marketings of live lambs

ments) will follow the same meth
DDS employed for the 1857 pro-
gram. Shorn wool payments will
be equal to a percentage of each
producers net returns from wool
sales. This percentage will be the
percentage required to raise the
national average price received
by all producers for wool up to
the incentive price of 81 cents a
pound.
Lamb payments will be made to
each producer who sells. unshorn
lambs. The requirements will be
at a rate per hundredweight of
live animals marketed to compen-
safe for the wool on them on a
basis comparable to the incentive
payment per pound of shorn wool.
will be made on the
basis of the weight increase of the

Payments under the 1853 pro-
gram will be made during the
of 1859 on wool and
marketed between April 1,
1858 and March 81, 1859. AS under
the current and past programs,
producers marketing lambs and
wool after April /, 1858, are urged
to obtain and save adequate rec
ords of all lambs and wool sales in
order to make proper appli-
,ation for payment.

City Council News
BY Harold Mercer

This is to let you know that
the rumor about the police de-
partment being limited to five
gallons of gas per day is I'M
founded and that they will con-
tinue to operate as they have in
the past.
Due to several complaints about
the Dept. Police Commissioner
Atchison had a meeting with sew
eral of the Policemen trying to
find out if these complaints were
justified. Not enough evidence was
brought forth to justify any ac-
ton by the council.
The council acting in the best
interest of everyone took action
at the last council meeting to
cut spending by the city to the
bare minimum. An order went
out to all Dept. heads that be-
fore they buy anything they must
first obtain approval from the
department chairman. This order
will be in effect until tax
money comes in sometime in De-
cember.
Ted Whitmer from Bloomfield
appeared before the council to
protest the use of parking meters.
On the other side a vote was
taken at the last Hardy-Ridge-
lawn PTA meeting and it was
found that over 1870 of those
present favored the meters.
From the various meetings that
had been held the council has
the matter of parking me-
tiers and they will try in other
ways to obtain needed revenue
at the same time trying to
control the spending of city funds
TO the best of their ability.
A word of thanks should be
said here for the business men
of Sidney in regards to parking.
This past week many more park
ing spaces have been made avail
able for the shoppers and l am
sure that it is appreciated by all
concerned.
City Treasurer Sig Anderson
appeared before the council and
gave his monthly report as well
as several recommendations which
are under study at this time by
the council.
Next council meeting Oct. 81.
