SUPPOSED OBSTACLES TO SALE
HAVE BEEN OVERCOME BY
PROVISION IN NEW LAW.
s1,,3oO,OO0 WORTH ARE SOLD
Is Announced That the Remainder OF
$4,000 Issue Will be Disposed
Of Without Difficulty.

Kinston. - Richard F. Churchill,
chairman of county commissioners,
and Carl w. Pridgen, register of deeds,
have returned here from New York,
4rs on the disposition of 100000 Of
where they conferred with bond broR-
Lenoir county highway bonds. Coun-
sci for the dealers had held that new
North Carolina law interposed OBJ
stacles in the way Of the sale of the
bonds. Of 100000 issue, $1,3OO,OOO
worth had been disposed of without
difficulty, while the legal experts held
that 100000 more could be sold with
out suspicion as to validity. The bal
ance, however, came within the provi-
sions of the new law and the county
faced a handicap in disposing of them
it was declared.
The local officials are supposed to
have secured concessions. It is an
nounced that the remainder of the is
sue will be marketed without difficult
ty. The entire issue Of 100000 Is
being used to pay for between so and
70 miles of concrete-asphalt high
ways now being laid, and is to be aug
mented by nearly $1,000,000 more from
Federal and state appropriations, with
which additional roads will be built.
