INLET DREDGING
CONTRACT $4,000
APPROVED THURS.
Work Must Begin In 20 Days
From Execution; As Days TO
Finish Job

The contract was let Thursday
to Cottrell Contracting Corp, of
Norfolk for $4,000 calling for the
removal of 10000 cubic yards of
sand from the ferry channel at
Oregon Inlet, according to a tele-
phone statement made by C. w.
Lee, Chief Highway Engineer in
Raleigh, to Victor Meel1ins in Man
teo Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Lee said the work must start
within 20 days after contract is
executed. A proposal some two
weeks ago to do the job while put
ting the sand ashore was rejected
as too high. 1t was for $4,000. The
sand under the new contract will
be deposited nearby. Mr.. Lee said
the contractor will have a as day
period in which to complete the
work.
The figure of $25, 900, coincident-
ely is the estimate that Victor
Meekins gave Governor Hodges in
December when a desperate appeal
was made to do something urgent
in order to save a situation which
through the intervening months
has been extremely costly to the
economy of the region. Governor
Hodges expressed a willingness to
do the job, and highway engineers
went out of the way to discredit
the need for the work, so that the
Highway Commission all but dis
missed the project. Meellins said
it was the most shameful circum-
stance he had ever known on the
part of Highway officials. Reports

NOON FRIDAY THE LAST
DAY TO FILE FOR AN
OFFICE IN THE COUNTY

At noon, Friday, (today) 18th
is the last time candidate may
file for public office in the coun-
ty. In order to file, one must
sign a blank, and pay a fee. For
Board of Commissioners, the fee
is $40; for Board Of Education SIS.
For other offices the fee is based
on the salary of the office.
It's a fine opportunity for
everybody who wants to have a
good time to run for office this
year. Weather is beautiful; it's
been a poor commercial fishing
season. The Casino seaon hasn't
opened yet, and little diversion
is needed. Besides, the election
fund is in the hole, and the fees
will help pay the bills.

FISHING PROSPECTS ARE
EXCELLENT FOR EASTER

Good weather has been predict
ed and sportsfishing prospects
for the Easter season should be
excellent in all Dare Coast wa

the fact that during the past
week catches have been better
than average for this time of the
year.
More than so channel bass have
been landed with rod and from
the surf and inlet on Hatteras Is
Land. Most of the early catches
were made in the Hatteras Inlet
section. Largest reported was a
521s FOUNDER taken by Edgar
Hooper of Buxton. Charles Sim
mons of Petersburg brought in a
511s FOUNDER from the surf. Andy
Weller of Mays Head boated a
40 FOUNDER casting at Oregon In
let.
Large mouth bass and stripers
were taking artificial lures in the
fresh waters of South Lake dur
ing the week and with live bait
some excellent catches of crappla
and jack (pickerel) were also re-
ported from mainland waters.

Request Repeated For Sewerage
in West BeIhaven; New Sur
vey Agreed Upon

A group of citizens from West

nothing had been done about sew
erage for this particular neighbor-
hood despite repeated request by
the citizens over a period of years
Mr.. Voliva brought the group up to
date on proceedings, he explained
that a survey which is necessary
before such a project can proceed

Mr.. Potter, they felt they could

consider. Realizing the great re-
sponsibility Of handling a project
that would cost the tax payers
more than 100000, they voted no:
to accept the contract.

DARE BOARD TO
CLEAN MESS MADE
BY GARBAGE MAN
Hafferas Citizens Make Vigorous
Protest Against Piles Of Ref
use. Rats and Flies

At the opening of the Board OF
Commissioners meeting at Cape
Hatteras Monday, a summary
was given concerning the amount
of county aid now being given
various functions on the island
which amounts to some $4,000 a
year. It was at this meeting
which the contention over the
garbage nuisance at Hatteras
was forcefully brought before the
Board by indignant citizens, who
objected to all the trash and gar
bage in the township being de-
posted near the village of Hat
teras.
This they said created a nui-
sance, due to rats, flies odor and
unsightliness. They asked the
help of the Board to stop the
situation. The garbage was haul
ed there by man paid by the
county, yet the county Board
voted to give $500 to someone to
clean it up, and burn it up.
It was brought out at the meet
ing that many citizens had also
deposited garbage in the same
spot. It was also learned that the
garbage man had been working to
suit himself, and there was COM
plant about the quality of the
service. For some years, the
county has been sending a check
for $500 o month, without any
specifications whatever as to just
what the man ought to do in re-
turn for this money. In future
|it is proposed that the garbage
disposal be let by contract, with
complete specifications, as ID the
requirement in the north end Of
Dare County.

HOPE CLEANS AGAIN FOR
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW
HATTERAS HEALTH CENTER
Confidence Restored in Project To Provide
Modern Facilities BY Levy Of Small Tax on
the District: Citizens and Officials Hear Out
line Of Methods by Medical Care Official
MONDAY.

A glimmer of hope for small
hospital or clinic of four to six
beds on Hatteras Island came out
of a meeting Monday held at
Cape Hatteras Court, which was
attended by few of the trustees
of the Cape Hatteras Health Cen
ter and the entire County Board
of Commissioners.
In attendance at this meeting
and leading the discussion with
valuable information was William
F. Henderson of Raleigh, Execu-
tive Secretary of the N. C. Medi-
cal Care Commission, who looks
with compassion on the need for
such a facility as is contem-
plated at Hatteras.
Representing the IL or Is
trustees of the Cape Hatteras
Health Center were Asa H. Gray
of Waves, J. C. Morgan of Rod
anthe, Shelley Fronts, William
Gibson, Mrs. Leola Robinson, Mrs.
Blanche Midget, John L. Austin,
Julian L. Austin. Also attending
were Melvin B. Midget, of the
Coast Guard; 1t. F. d. Plat of
the Navy; DIR. T. c. Suther, resi-
dent Public Health physician, and
Jess Stamey of the National Park
Service.
Previously, petition signed by
several hundred citizens of Hat
teras Island had been sent to Ra-
leigh in which it was asked that
the Island be st up as Hospital
District. This would enable the
citizens to vote on issues to be
submitted, whether the island
should be bonded for funds to
build a hospital, or to levy tax
merely to guarantee the operation
of one.
But Mr.. Henderson explained
that his Commission could not be
in position TO consider the sub
ject before their June meeting;
or to call a public hearing until
the Trustees themselves could
provide some definite program of
what they were asking for.
Should the Commission in Raleigh,
consider it advisable, the next
step would be to advertise a pub
lie hearing to be held on Hatteras
Island, which would be duly adj
vertised, whereby all citizens in
terested might come out and ex-
press their wishes.
Should it be determined that
the district should be established,
then an election would be ordered
to vote on any project that might
by then have been adopted as best
suited to the needs of the area.
While Mr.. Henderson was not
able to make any commitments
for the Commission, he said its
technical and advisory services
would be available on a prelimi-
nary basis when requested by the
people Of the Island. Some of the
things necessary to determine, is
the size of the site, the cost OF
the building; how it shall be fl

JAIL REQUESTED
FOR HATTERAS BY
HIGHWAY PATROL
Finding the Money May Depend
on Voting a Bond Issue For
General Purpose Bldg.

Leading a request for construc-
ton of a Jail at Buxton on Mon
day, before the Dare County Com
missioners, was Captain S a m
Mitchell of the State Highway
Patrol, who attended in company
with 1t. Frank Kennerly, Sgt.
Logan Lane and Cpl. D. s. Skies.
1t was pointed out that lookup
would be invaluable to enforcing
traffic laws, and an assurance to
visitors of safety on the roads.
The estimated cost Of an ade-
quate building would be about
$4,000. 1t would serve as an of
flee for the Patrolman assigned
to the island, who has been doing
a good job enforcing traffic laws,
according to statements made at
the meeting.
The Board expressed full SYM
pathy with the need for such
building, but it was pointed out
that in view of the large amount
of county funds now going to the
island, some three dollars for ev-
cry one in taxes paid, and in the
absence of any law permitting
the taxing of other parts of the
county, it might be necessary to
hold an election for this purpose,
so that a bond issue or q tax levy
could be authorized by the people
to pay for the jail.
The Importance of having a
Deputy Clerk of the Court al
Buxton was brought to the at
tention of the Board and promise
was given to try to get one at
an early date, If one could be
found willing to serve.
