LOW BIDDERS ON
NEW HATTERAS
G. @. STATION
Manteo Firm Expected to Build
New Facility for $3o3.794
Near Inlet

Kellogg Cuthrell, Inc, of Man
teo, N. c. was apparent low bidder
Tuesday on construction of a Hat
teras Inlet lifeboat station, the
Coast Guard announced.
The firm submitted a bid of
1903, 794. Next lowest of six bids
submitted was 307,136 by Hunt
Contracting Co. of Norfolk.
If the bids are accepted, a con-
tract will be awarded within 10
lays, the Coast Guard said.
The contract will provide for
construction of a two-story sta
ton dwelling, equipment building,
lookout tower, and a watch house
IN the southern tip of Cape Hat
teras Island.
A temporary woodframe station,
built in 1854, now serves the area.
1t is also located on the southern
tip of the island and will prob
ably be abandoned when the new
station is completed. The present
station was built after the Coast
Guard facility on the northern tip
of Ocracoke Island was washed a.
way by storm some years ago.
The new station will be the Sec
ond constructed in the 9Th Coast
Guard District in recent years. In
April 1859, Little Machipongo sta
ton on the Eastern Shore was COM
pleted.
Facilities to serve the new Hat
teras station have already been
completed. They include dredging,
a boat basin bulkhead, piers, boat
hoist, and fuel storage tanks.
Work on the new station is ex-
pected to start in 80 days.

of Commissioners will meet July 25
to take action on a $42,345.00 bud
get which is proposed for the COM
ing year. The budget is as follows:

Powell Bill Fund 9,170.0O
Total estimated
revenue s42,345.OO
A complete breakdown of this
budget is on file with the Town
Clerk in the Town Hall, Kill Devil
Hills.
Much of the budgets increase
over last year is due to an amount
set aside to purchase a new type
garbage collection truck for the
town. Garbage collection by the
new truck began July first.
According to a city hall spokes-
man the towns garbage collection
schedule will be daily for the sum-
mer as it is in other areas of the
beach. Most of the garbage collec-
ton on the beach is done by the
County under new tax levy made
recently.
In order to collect the total Kill
Devil Hills proposed budget, the
town expects to levy taxes at a
rate of fifty five cents per 500
property valuation. All revenue in
the town comes from property
taxes except for an amount from
the Powell Bill Fund.

Governor Lays Down A Challenge
Speaking to the. new Highway
Commission in the hall of the
House of Representatives Tuesday
of this week when it was organized
Governor Terry. Sanford made an
exceptionally farseeing exposition
of the challenge that lies before
this group in the years to come. II
calls for fair dealing; for equal
consideration for all areas, and
this is particularly important in
view of the limited amount of Sec
ondary roads funds available. After
all, it is the average fellow, living
on an unimproved road, who needs
first consideration, rather than the
tourist with time on his hands and
money to spend. Here are Cover
nor Sanford's remarks:
"0ur first purpose is to build
and maintain roads: City roads,
country roads, mountain roads:

over lefty George Stewart,

When the rains came yester-
day, it appeared as if Ralph
was firing rapidly and as if
Stewart, a traditional late
starter, was picking up momen-
tum. Stewart had lost the first
set in his quarterfinal and
semifinal matches with Fred
McNair and Hugh Lynch, III,
before winning, so another
comeback appeared a distinct
possibility.
A former National Negro
champion, Stewart turned the
match his way when he began
scoring repeatedly with slices
and chops, winning 13 straight
points on one occasion. Earlier,
