Trash-ThrOwing
End Appealed
For BY Manager

ThoughtlcsS week end litterbugs
are creating a municipal problem
here and their careless acts are
presenting Farmvlllc to visitors and
tourists IN an unfavorablc light.
Town Manager n II Quscnberry
SAID today
Sunday. d day on which the com
munlty ought to look its best. has
become a day OF trash and wind
blown debris instead. he reports.
The towns Uttered look stems
from the fact that. with stores
closed, the streets arc not swept by
merchants For the whole day, any
thing thrown down remains down
and adds 70 an accumulation that by
Sunday mid afternoon makes the
midtown area decidedly unsightly.
Unsighuy View
We're Judged BY our Sunday ap-
pearance by the many people and
cars passing through. and under the
present circumstances. it is an IN
favorable judgment. I'm afraid. =
the town manager reports
He reminded that the municipality

pcnSc in sweeping the streets seven

Quiscnbcrry adds.
Suggestions Given
He said the problem would be

things ~ use The wire baskets

GARBAGE COLLECTION
RULES EXPLAINED BY
MANTEO'S TOWN BOARD

The towns garbage collection
system has been put under a
severe strain recently due to a
misunderstanding by some home
owners, it was reported Monday
at the monthly meeting of the
Town of Manteo's Board of Com
missioners. In order to alleviate
the situation, the board issued a
notice to all residents requesting
cooperation in placing garbage
out for pick up. 1t was pointed out
that a collection service is pro-
vided by the town only for house
hold trash and garbage. and the
town is not responsible for the
collection of such trash as tree
limbs, shrubbery trimmings, and
building material scraps. 1t was
further pointed out that the collec-
ton crews are supposed to pick
up such household trash and gar
bage only when it has been placed
in covered containers.
m The installation of four addition
al street lights was approved by
the board. The costs of two of
the lights, which are to be on the
school grounds, are to be paid by
the PTA and Board of Education.
The other lights are to be located
on the waterfront at the foot of
Main Street and at the corner of
Pine and Church streets.
In other action, the board de-
cided not to allow a water line of
less than two inches in diameter
to be connected to the towns water
mains and to make it misde-
meanor for anyone to excavate in
any of the towns streets without
first getting a permit from the
board.

MRS. JULIA CRAY
GETS $4,000 FOR
INJURIES IN SUIT
Consent Judgement Awarded in
Dare Saturday Night After
Jury Seems Stalled

After it appeared the jury was
on its way to be deadlocked. a
consent judgement of $4,000 was
awarded Mrs. Julia C. Gray Sat
urday night in Dare Superior
Court, which with hospital bills of
some $4,000 that had been paid
Elizabeth City hospital, brought
the total sum to $21, 700, according
to court officials.
Defendants in this case were
Mrs. Ethelyn Watts of Norfolk,
and Leonard Midget of Manteo.
both of whom carried insurance,
and the sum awarded Mrs. GRAY
appears to be equal to the liability
carried, and about what defense
attorneys had offered in settlement
the day before.
Mrs. Gray sustained serious in
juries in July 1855 when her car,
which was being driven by Mrs.
Watts, piled into the truck owned
by Mr.. Midget, which was used
in the removal of trash on the
Mays Head highway, and was be-
ing driven by George w. King of
Manteo.
Mrs. Gray, the famed maker of
dolls, claimed both Mrs. Watts and
Mr.. Midget were negligent, in
he was parked on the highway,
she alleged without rear lights.
She testified her hospital bills as
result of the mishap came to
more than $4,000 and that she is
suffering from permanent injuries.
She has been often commended for
her brave fight during the long
confinement and suffering. She
walks with cane, and doctors say
her injuries are permanent.
After three days of trial, the
case got to the jury Saturday eve
ming. At ten pm. it had not reach
ed an agreement, but the parties in
the suit did reach one, and the
jury was notified.
