WILL HAY COME BACK?
Intimate Acquaintance About Town
Believe He Has Gone to Stay.

Will Chic fof Police James Hay,
who secured a leave of absence until
the first of December, return to Nor
folk?
This is the question which is being
asked by friends and intimate &C
quaintances of the police chief, as well
as others about town. The prevailing
opinion is that he left the city for good
and that he does not intend to come
back.
When he left, Chief of Police Hay
took his trunk and all of his posses
sions, including his rubber boots and
shotgun. He had sold his household
furniture, so that he has left no prop
erty in Norfolk. Mrs. Hay is in Cali
fornia and some believe that he may
have gone to the coast. He is, how
ever, still chief of police in Norfolk,
not having given up his star.

GRAVEL MAY BE ALL RIGHT.
Rain is Needed Now to Test Quality
Of That Being Tried.

1t seems now possible that gravel
from the pit west of the city may
prove to be heavy enough for the
building of the gravel highways on
First and Fourth streets. A number
of wagonloads of the material have
been hauled into South Fourth street
near the government building, during
the past few days and the cit yis only
waiting now for a good rain to come
and give the stuff thorough test
1T looks as If some of that gravel
might do well enough" said Council
man August Brummund. Some of it
may be light. What we had hauled
in some weeks ago appears to have
not spread heavily enough and we are
now in hopes that this will do all
right"

shooting that is to be enjoyed by the

Winter Greatest Foe.
Winter is the greatest foe to the
