TOWN ELECTION
EXPECTED TO BE
LIVELY IN MANTEO
More Than ESQ Votes Expected
To Be Cast Result Of
Power Issue

It's expected to be much differ
ent come next Tuesday in the Man.
teo town election than it was
few years ago, when with four can
didates running, only three votes
were cast-the candidate fer
Mayor having forgot to go to the
poll until after closing time.
The, interest in next Tuesdays
election is not to be lively because
there happens to be just one more
candidate for office than can be
elected. Its going to be whether or
not the town Of Manteo shall favor
being put into the electric power
business by its Board Of Aldermen.
Mayor Martin Kellogg Jr., run
ming for his fifth term is without
opposition, so has nothing to worry
about. The three aldermen are run
ming for reelection, and fourth
candidate has appeared in the per-
son of S. L. Barnett. Only three
can be elected, and the only ele-
ment of doubt is who might be the
loser.
The three incumbents are all
highly popular men, but it is pos
sible that one might be the low
man, or the new man in the field
could be the loser. There doesn't
seem so much interest on that
score, as there is in the power sit
uation, and it promises to grow
livelier.
This interest has been developing
ever since the March meeting of
the. town Board when two mem
hers, NJ. L. Daniels Jr., and S. E.
Midget set up opposition to the
request for a 30-year power fran
chise for the operation of the cleo
trio light system in Manteo. These
two aldermen expressed it as
their belief that they ought to wait
awhile, and make some investiga-
ton as to the possible profit for
the town if it should run it's own
electric light business.
G. T. Westcott is the one mem
Der of the Board who favored
granting the franchise to Vepco.
1t is understood that both himself
and Mr.. Barnett take that view
row.
Having carried their motion to
withhold the franchise at this time,
Aldermen Daniels and Midget en-
ployed an engineer to come to
Manteo and make a survey of the
probable cost of putting in a NUM-
cipally owned system. This cost is
estimated at $4,000 to $4,000,
provided current might be bought
of VEPCO. The report mentioned
price of one cent per kilowatt
hour, but this is lower than Vepco
sells to anyone else in like situa-
ton. Vepco has stated it would not
sell current to a town system, be-
ing that it is under contract any,
way to the Roanoke Utilities for
the next two years.
This gives the town the alterna-
tive only of putting in generating
equipment costing from $125, 900
to $15O,00O, and thus is gone a.
glimmering any hope of being able
to produce current at a lower price
than consumers on Roanoke Island
are now required to pay.
Some small surveys of sentiment
as expressed by the man on the
street indicates that the citizens

Torrance on the gridiron and
that next season, many schools in
