GENERAL STORE is
A TOTAL LOSS AT
WAVES MON. A. M.
n. Gray Loses Building,
Stock, Apartment. Furnish
ings and Car

In fire which broke out in the
early morning hours Monday, the
large general store, apartment in
rear, and automobile of A. H..
Gray, Jr., a leading citizen of
Waves, was destroyed. Mr.. Gray
also lost his large stock of goods,
along with the warehouse, the fur
nishings in his apartment, and his
Ford sedan.
He was awakened by Mrs. Gray,
who had first been awakened by
the fire, and arose to find large
blaze beyond control underway.
The store was well stocked with
general merchandise and the
apartment in which he and Mrs.
Gray made their home was nicely
furnished in the most modern
style. Mr.. Gray lost clothing along
with furniture.
Like most people he carried a
very small amount of insurance,
particularly on a mercantile bust
ness which carries high prem
ium rate. A rough opinion of the.
loss would approximate $4,000
Mr.. Gray said this week he plans
in few days to open a small store
across the road from the old site,
and hopes gradually to be able to
take care of the needs of his
customers.
This store and two smaller ones
served the villages of Waves and
Rodanthe, and it being the larger
of the stores with most complete
stocks will be greatly missed by
the people. The store was estab-
lished by Mr.. Gray more than 80
years ago.

NEW DARE BEACH
HIGHWAY PROJECT
NAY BE KILLED
Fate Of Proposed Road Appears
In Hands Of Kill Devil Hills
Commissioners

The building of the proposed new
highway down the beaches of Kitty
Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Mays
Head now appears to hinge on
action by the town commissioners
of Kill Devil Hills. state officials
have indicated.
A provision of a right-of-way
agreement, drafted by the town
board has caused the hitch in the
project. The provision would re-
quire the highway commission to
put in at least six lateral, or con-
Meeting, roads between the new
highway and the present U. S. 1853.
The state refused to accept the
agreement because the new road
would be built with federal assist
ance and federal funds can not be
used for secondary roads. which
the laterals would be.
The provision was included in
the agreement by the town COM
missioners because they feared
that Kill Devil Hills would not get
an equal number of the laterals
to be built by the state as would
other portions of the beach of
similar length.
A group of citizens of Mays
Head, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil
Hills met on Wednesday night
after Governor Hodges had assured
that failure of the municipality to
sign a suitable agreement would
kill the project. Two members of
the Kill Devil Hills board were
present and decided to hold spe-
cial meeting of the board Friday
night to act on the matter after
having had a chance to hear from
citizens of the town. Others at the
meeting indicated that they favor
ed accepting the highway as offer
ed by the state.
Low bids received last month for
the project were $SS8,777.77 for
the roadway and $62,650 for the
moving of buildings.
