ANOTHER ELIZ. CITY MAN
SHOWS UP RIDICULOUS JOB

A letter to the Dare County
board from one of the ablest and
best friends of the Dare Beaches,
contains the following statements:
II lodge formal protest against
the valuation on barren beach and
marshland in the north end of Dare
County, which is used as bomb
ing target and gives me no income.
The amount of $23,310 for 166
acres, consider an appraisal far
fetched and all out of reason. 1t is
practically devoid of vegetation, is
not subdivided, has no lot value,
and no roads. / am at a complete
loss to understand, how any fair
minded individual could arrive at
any such price for this barren
beachland the acreage is bonn
barded nearly every day as a tar
get for government planes, and
can see no reason why it would be
so valuable. / earnestly ask that
you appraise this acreage in the
light of facts set forth here, and
value It accordingly i. the sale of
the property under existing econdi-
tions is practically nil"

LETTER WRITTEN BY
HEREFORD PROPERTY OWNER

To Dare County Commissioners:
What are you gentlemen trying
to do to your county? / am refer
ring to the excessive increase in
appraisal on. beach property for
taxation purposes.
l have been going to .Nags Head
for the past fifty years and my
late husband, T. S. White of Hert-
ford, North Carolina built our cot
tage in 1912. 1 have always been a
booster of Nags Head and have
been responsible for several fam
lilies building summer cottages in
Dare County.
No doubt you gentlemen realize
that beach property is very expen-
sive to keep up and since you do
not furnish any fire protection the
rates are extremely high.
You have almost doubled the rates
on my property based on data fur
nished by a man from New Jersey
who shipped out before clearing up
his bills.
Do you realize that the only
service we receive is the very poor
garbage collection during the sum-
mer months. Have you stopped to
think of the thousands of dollars
that come to your county through
the people spending their vacations
in Dare County? If you permit this
high rate to remain you are going
to kill the goose that laid the gol-
den egg because families will dis
pose of their property and seek
summer residence where their pres
ence is appreciated rather than
prosecuted.

ONE ELIZABETH CITY MAN
GIVES HIS VIEWS ON TAXES

Tax Supervisor, Dare County.
l was amazed to receive your
postal card of May 10th, on which
was shown a $4,900.0O valuation
for two lots in Hollywood Beach
Subdivision, Nags Head, N. C.
Being a Realtor in Elizabeth
City and having quite a bit of ex-
perience in the valuation of proper
ty, l would like to state that this is
the most ridiculous l have ever
seen. The very idea of having any
property on the tax books at more
than the selling price a couple of
years ago.
These lots are on the tax books
for a third more than five room
bungalow and lot in the best sec
tion of Elizabeth City. This value
was established by revaluation by
so-called experts, couple of years
ago, however, they did not indicate
we had oil on the property.
Frankly, intend to dispose of
my property at Nags Head since
it is evident that Dare County has
in mind catering only to wealthy
Yankees.
Evidently the very influential
and better citizens of Dare County,
who have given so much to make
Dare County one of the best, have
been put "on the Shelf" when it
comes to making the decisions of
today.

To the Dare County Commissioners
have received the notice show

of $4,2OO.OO.
If it is the purpose of your Board

the tax rate accordingly, then
could have no quarrel with your
Boards action. However, l am re-

TAKEN BY THIS NEWSPAPER

Many letters have come to us
from old residents, and others un-
known to us, but who love Dare
County, heartily endorsing our
stand for better government and
fair treatment in Dare County.
This is a sample of the letters to
US:
Dear Editor:
Your Coastland Times has just
reached me and / have read your
Masterpiece" editorial. 1t is one
of the finest written expressions I
have ever read, and l consider it
a great privilege to read some
thing of such great stature, as
this surely is. If it does not draw
national attention l shall miss my
ability to judge quality writing. l
believe what enhances it so much
is the sincerity apparent. You
are very convincing about your
sincerity and all good sincere citi-
zens will recognize that, l am con-
fident. When ones convictions are
of such strength that they are will
ing to boldly proclaim dedication
of their remaining days to their
community their GOD and to pos
terity there is nothing more one
could do to be sure, and / am sure,
that in the writing you have rem
dered service already that will
out-live either of us.
l would urge that you reprint
it in your next weeks issue on the
front page in bolder type, so that
it might be reminder to the good
citizens as the time for voting
comes near, for even though many
good people would like to do the
right thing at the polls, they need
guidance to the last mile, and II
am sure you agree with that.
1t is my sincere wish and
prayers that you will be spared
many, many years, because one
can not write like you have, ex-
cept he be inspired by more than
the ordinary everyday writing. Il
sincerely believe God is with you,
and you can be sure that He will
continue to be, so long as you goI
after things that are wrong, with
courage and fortitude born of a
sincere conviction that you must
fight for the right.
With sincere best wishes and
prayers that you shall enjoy many,
many years of useful and graft
flying service to your peoples,

GARBAGE DISPOSAL IDEAS
FOR CAPE HATTERAS

To The Editor:
The people on this island have
a problem concerning garbage dis
posai. The present method of dis
posal involves dumping all gar
bage on privately owned tract of
land in Buxton near the sound.
This garbage dump is on low flat
land and is a scant foot or so
above sea level. Naturally, this
prevents the possibility of digging
any trench or pit on this land to
be covered over. With the influx
of people over the past few years
to this island and the establish
ment of the U. S. Naval Facility
at Buxton, the problem is fast be-
coming an insurmountable one. At
the same time, we have another
perplexing problem. There is no
decent play ground or ball field on
the island. l personally believe
that the provision of an adequate
garbage disposal site at this time
is of extreme Importance. In a very
short time it would become an i'm
possible situation. By applying a
little foresight now, l believe we
can prevent the occurrence of an
unhealthy situation later.
1t is my intention at the next
meeting of the Dare County Board
of Commissioners to propose that
they contact National Park Serv-
ice and investigate the acquisition
of a tract of land to be used as a
permanent garbage disposal site.
The tentative plan l wish to pro-
pose involves the systematic dig
ging of trenches on high ground,
the fill removed by the process of
digging could be transported toI
the area behind our school and
thus provide our children with al
playground and ball field we could
be proud of. The procedure would
not be a very expensive one. / do
not maintain that this procedure
is the best. l do maintain that
definite action is Immediately
necessary and any proposal is bet
ter than none.
We have circulated petitions
this morning and have them posted
at the various post offices on this
island. l would sincerely appreci-
ate it if you would be kind enough

STRONG OBJECTIONS COME
To Tax Supervisor

To Tax Supervisor
Dare County
Your post card mailed from
Manteo on May 10th arrived at my
home in Glencoe, Illinois, on Mon
day, May 18th. This card stated
that a hearing was to be held at
the County Court House at 10 am.
on May 18th and 10Th, which, of
course, allowed very little time for
preparing any complaints. This let
ter is being written merely to tell
you that it seems to me that the
Commissioners have gone some
wha overheard in raising valua-
tions on properties as compared
with previous years. 1t is recogniz-
ed, of course, that all costs have
gone up and probably will continue
to go up, but an increase such as
the one put through this year ap-
pears to be excessive.
On my next visit to Nags Head,
| intend to check around among my
friends and relatives to see if the
valuations are consistent. This let
ter is merely to register my objec-
tions to such high increase and
to suggest that the Commissioners
review again the valuations placed
on the Nags Head property to see
if, in their opinion, this is fair
