CONSIDERED PROFITABLE

Considerable success is ascribed
to the program of the N. c. Travel
Council during the past ten days
on the Dare Beaches which has
been conducted by Harvey Rape
of Raleigh, according to Pat Bayne
of Mays Head, a local sponsor.
This organization endeavors to inn
prove quality and standards of
service rendered by persons and
firms dealing with tourists and
other travellers.
Mr.. Rape had intended holding
classes at Hatteras, but indicated
there had not been sufficient per-
sons to commit themselves to
classes.
At Mays Head 16 enrolled in
the Managers Classes and Is in
the Mattresses Classes. He said
he was ''very pleased with the
participation in both classes, and
they were helping each other in
class discussions.n
The classes close today, Friday.

GARBAGE CONTR'CTI
LET TO O. BURRUSI
TUESDAY FOR $4,000
Delay Brought Bid Lower By
$1,000; Commissioner Perry
Votes mo"

The Dare County Commissioners
On Tuesday closed up one end Of a
controversial problem by letting
the contract for removal of gar
bage on the Dare Beaches for the
coming year to Orlando Burrus Of
Manteo for $4,000. The other bid
der, Bill Mann, of Kill Devil Hills
the present contractor offered a
bid of $14,S0O.
The price at which the bid is
let is $1,000 less than bids Offered
on June 8. Letting was postponed
at that time when objections were
raised by citizens of the area to
dropping of Mr.. Mann's services.
The garbage removal JOB has
been something of a problem for
several years, and last year, after
few weeks on the contract, Mr..
Burrus withdrew from the work
alleging fault to the Commission
ers in not preparing his contract
on time. This controversy resulted
in a suit he brought against the
county Board seeking $1,000 dam
ages and now pending in the
courts. This suit followed the
awarding of the contract to Mr..
Mann.
In the bids on June 8, Mr.. Mann
offered a $4,000 bid for years
contract, while Mr.. Burrus offered
to handle the work for $4,000 for
a period of three years. The Board,
deeming it better to let the con-
tract for only one year at time,
advertised for new bids which
were opened this week.
Mr.. Mann also offered in his
proposal to make a SO reduction
from his bid if the Board would
make his monthly payments larger
in the summer when expenses are
greater, and decrease payments in
the winter.
The contract was let to Mr.. Bur-
rus with the $50 clause included

TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
CONTINUES MOVEMENT
FOR BETTER APPRAISAL

The Dare County Taxpayers
Association through it's attorneys
McCown & McCown of Manteo this
week continued its appeal to the
County Board of Commissioners
for an adjustment of the recent
$4,000 tax appraisal job which
left SO many burdensome and un-
reasonable inequities in its work.
Further consideration was prom
ised by the Board at its additional
meetings next week. The Board
finds itself on both horns of
dilemma. The appraisal was ne
elected and the work not yet fin
ished when it needed to be done
three months ago, had it been
complete job. Now that it isn't,
the situation is further aggravated
by the imminence of headlines for
setting up the budget. In order to
get some semblance of order out
of the appraisal, which now APP
pears in worse shape than when
first brought in, the county is GO
ing to have to spend several thou
sand dollars; in fact it has already
spent over thousand dollars for
Board meetings in June, not to
mention many in May.
Chairman Walter d. Perry of
the Taxpayers Association, says
the movement, got late start
while property owners were wait
ing for the promises of correction
to materialize. However he expects
the program to go ahead now, as
contributions are coming in daily
from property owners to aid the
cause. It will be necessary to do a
lot of clerical work and will re-
quire the services of some compe-
tent appraisers to assemble the
supporting data which is expected
to blow this $4,000 appraisal sky
high.

PTA AND RELATED
ENDEAVORS GREAT
HELP TO SCHOOLS
Citizens Contributions a Big Fac
tor in Providing Schools
With Equipment

Not many people give thought
perhaps to the tremendous contri-
buttons made by PTA organiza-
lions in raising and contributing
funds for support of and equip
ment for the school buildings of
their various communities. Many
people doubtless take it for grant
ed that everything a school gets,
comes from the county.
In county such as Dare, which
over period of some ten years
has contributed only about $4,000
to $4,000 per year for all school
purposes from tax funds, there has
been no other way for the schools
to get all the equipment needed,
except through the PTA, and
through other groups of citizens
who have organized and conducted
drives for funds.
Even in the building of schools,
most communities have benefited
largely or almost entirely from
equalization funds from Raleigh.
But during the past 80 years, a
number of communities got new
buildings through special taxes.
Buxton, Stumpy Point, East Lake
and Kitty Hawk several years ago
voted special tax for school con-
struction, but after a short time,
this tax was spread out over the
whole county, and all districts
helped pay off the indebtedness.
The last school building at Avon
was built entirely from the gen
eral school fund, and no extra as
sessment was made against the
district. The more recently con-
structed school at Buxton, was to
have been built from the allotment
of $18O,939 made for the purpose
from State Bond money, but be-
fore the job was finished, it took
an additional $21 ,457 which had to
be sheared off the allotments orig
inally intended for other schools
in the. county. The additional sum
was required to raise the auditor
ium roof, and provide screens for

SUPERIOR COURT BEGINS
MONDAY IN DARE COUNTY

A special term of Superior Court
for the trial of Civil cases will
begin in Manteo Monday morning.
June %. Ostensibly, the purpose of
this term is to clear many old
cases off the docket, some of them
having been there until lawyers
and litigants have both died. For
this purpose several other special
terms at great cost to the taxpay-
ers have been held but little ac-
complished.
Judge Chester Morris of Curri-
tuck has been assigned to preside
at the term next week.
