Neglect Charged
On Two Fronts

Parental neglect and lack of
adequate police protection we're
brought under attack last night
by the East Central Civic AS
ISOLATION.
The group outlined growing
concern over the problem. Mem
bers complained that children
have been roaming among the
vacant houses in the area of
cott-Montgomery Elementary
School at AIS P st. NV. late
at night and have been causing
damage and disturbing the
neighboring houses.
The association claimed that
the necessary protection against
these roaming bands has not
been given them by the police.
THE community has to as
sumo the responsibility in the
community that the parent
does not assume at home, and
that is keeping the children
under a better form of discip-
line. We are trying to get the
community to live better, and
at the same time to have bet
ter law enforcement" said
Robert w. Ewell, president of
the association.

neer in charge Of bridge con-
struction for the District, said
the railing on the Eleventh.

to install them.
Mr.. Lainhart said he does
not believe everything pos
sible has been done to insure
safety on the bridge.

Petworth Unit of
Deadly Top Floor

Advice on how to avoid being
killed by fire on the deadly
top floor" Of a home was given
to the Petworth Citizens AS
ISOLATION last night by Acting
Deputy Fire Chief Elmer F.
Stein.

And, he said, these deadly
agents rise Immediately to the
upper floors of a dwelling, even
when the blaze is in the Ease
ment.
He advised residents in the
event of a fire not to open their
bedroom doors If they felt hot,
and to avoid the tops of stair
ways. He also recommended
that every family draw up an
escape plan to eliminate con-
fusion when a blaze breaks out.

associations first of the sea-
son. was held at the Bernard
School, Fifth and Decatur

COTTAGES CRAVE MORE
RESTRICTED DRIVING
Laws Not Enforced Against Keeping
Vehicles Off Beach at
Nags Head

Cottagers and other visitors to
the seashore at Nags Head, Kill
Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk Beach
es continue to complain about the
failure of enforcement of the law
prohibiting driving of motor We
hicles on these beaches. So far this
season, one person has been
brought to court and fined 81.
Due to the practice having
reached the nuisance and dangerous
stage several years ago, laws were
passed from time to time expand
ing the territory in which driving
is prohibited. Sunbathers were
often frightened by slap-happy
drivers on the surfside who triet
to throw panic into them. The
practice interfere with the rights
of bathers in the ocean, is danger
Gus to children, and creates great
resentment among the visitors and
harm to the beaches.
Heretofore it appears to have
been the custom for local officers
to pay no attention to them, since
none of the offenders were brought
into court.

|WAHAB SUES JONES
FOR $4,000 OVER
OCRACOKE DOCK
Says BerkIey Manor Man Ha.
Shut Off Access to Form

SWAN QUARTER-A suit has
been filed in Superior Court here
by R. S. Wahab of Ocracoke
against Samuel G.. Jones of Nor
folk, seeking $500 actual dam
ages and $1,000 punitive damages
as the result of a dock built or
the property line between the two
men. The property line is the ex-
tension into Silverlake Harbol
which was the subject of a lawsuit
two years ago, on which Jones
was alleged to have also en-
croached, but which was settled in
favor of Wahab.
In the suit just filed, Wahat
alleges that Jones through spite
and legal malice, built a dock on
the property line, and extended il
out into the harbor against the
Wahab wharf, preventing the lat
ter from using his own dock
which has been built for many
years. In fact, Wahab shows pho
tographs wherein his own boat is
fenced in, and cannot be taken
away from the wharf.
Mr.. Wahab is the father OF
Judge R. S. Wahab, Jr. of Prin-
cess Anne County. Wahab and
Jones own adjoining residences at
Ocracoke.

PLANNING TO BUILD
OCEAN PIER FOR
RODANTHE FISHING
Owens. Edwards and McCown
Launch Enterprise to At
tract Visitors

An ocean fishing pier is planned
for Rodanthe, near the stranded
LIST ships, by a newly formed N.
c., corporation, chartered last week.
Principal aim of Chicamacomico
enterprises is to sell stock and con-
struct an ocean pier in an area
which is considered among the top
fishing points of the N. C. Coast.
Incorporators are Roland D.
Owens of Rodanthe, Woodrow Ed
wards of Waves and w. H. McCown
of Manteo. Mr.. Owens erected a
modern motel in the area five years
ago, and this year built modern
service station which is operated
under lease by Mr.. Edwards. Mr..
Edwards, who is member of the
County Board, retired two years
ago as officer in charge of the
Oregon Inlet Coast Guard station.
Mr.. Owens, who also operates a
restaurant, was the builder of
Ocean View Cottage Court at Kill
Devil Hills. He established several
real estate developments after
coming here from Delaware.
With the coming of the Oregon
Inlet bridge, it is anticipated
fishing pier will be remarkably
successful. Tourist business in
general in the Rodanthe area has
been reported the best since the en-
larged ferry service was Initiated
through the aid of the National
Park Service. State reports show
the free ferries carried 23,608 We
hicles in July of which 1908 bore

IMPROVED WATER
FOR BELHAVEN is
EXPECTED SOON

Belhaven residents may look
forward to an improvement in the
towns drinking water within the
next few weeks, town officials
have stated. Three new wells have
been sunk on Mill Street, near the
Highway 264 bypass, and it is
hoped that lines can be hooked up
in the near future. The site for
the new wells was recommended
by the State Department of
Health and team of state geolo-
gists after the old wells We're
found to be heavily loaded with
salt. The Health Department
analysis of water from the new
site shows that the salt content
has been lowered to a ratio of
seven to one, great reduction in
the content in the present water
supply. A house is now being
built for the pumps.
E. L. Voliva, chairman of the
Light and Water Commission of
the Town of Belhaven, stated
that though no rash promises are
being made, engineers believe that
the new water will also help to
clear up some of the trouble that
exists in the newer pipe lines in
town. The theory is that the salt
in the water caused rusting in the
new pipes, while the old pipes
were protected from salt by the
natural corrosion of the years.
Housewives who are served by the
newer pipelines have been greatly
distressed by the discoloring of
clothes washed in city water.
These pipes have been treated
with Calgon and chlorine and the
treatments will continue when
the new wells are in use. At any
rate, the water from the 250 feet
wells will be much more palatable
to drink.
