OUTER BANKS HAS
MANY FEARS OVER
FERRY SITUATION
County Board EnIisfine Support TO
Save Summers Business for
Hafferas and Ocracoke

Announcement that the State
Highway Commission plans to let
a contract April 1 to dredge the
channel across Oregon Inlet which
is essential to maintaining ferry
service is received this week with
some misgivings by people of
Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands
who have suffered a loss since
early December of an estimated
so per cent of their usual winter
tourist trade.
William Gibson, Hatteras Hotel
operator was in Manteo yester-
day and said the situation will be
very bad for many businessmen
if more speedy action doesn't re-
suit. He said the word has spread
a long way from home about the
bad ferry schedules, due to shoal
water, and a large volume of
former trade has been discour-
aged from their usual trips. Mr..
Gibson says local people insist
highway engineers are apparently
concealing the facts about the
situation.
The work could have been COM
pleted a month ago had the re-
quest of local people been follow
ed. The Dare County Commission
ers early in December explained
the situation fully to Governor
Hodges who promised to take
action, and urged the Highway
officials to correct the situation.
But the resistance of highway en-
gineers to accept anything that
local people say, discouraged the
expenditure of funds on this prof.
ect. One of the arguments adj
vanced was that the bridge would
he built in three years and "why
waste money on dredging"
This spurred citizens and coun-
ty officials to further action. Sem
ator Everett Jordan, and Con-
gresham Herbert Bonner heard
the situation and made strong ap-
peals to officials three weeks ago.
Even at this, there has been de-
lay on the part of highway Off
Gals, in spite of the Governors
reminder of the need 1t was
pleaded by highway officials they
didn't have time to let contract
any earlier.
Local people pointed out, that
when highway emergencies occur
due to washout and bridge col
lapses, nothing is said about adj
vertising for bids, but the whole
outfit usually rolls into action, re-
gardless of cost, and restores
traffic. Even now, many fear that
