STREETS MAY BE

Curbs and Cutters Are Being
Laid at the Rate of 600
Feet a Day
FRANKLIN STREET is NEXT

November Is is about the day
when Town Manager Edward
NJ. Knox thinks that Jack Long
will finish all the curbs and gut
ters, and the paving, for which
he has the contract. The towns
own force will finish off the sur
facing, and the prospect is that
by December 1-or December Is

provements authorized by the
Board of Aldermen last spring
will be completed. This week
Mr.. Long has been laying 600
lineal feet of curb and gutter a
day. This is good speed-bet-
ter than he is required to make
under his contract. With a fair
break in weather Mr.. Knox's
prediction should come true.
The curbs have already been
built on both sides of Rosemary
Lane from Hillsboro Street (the
Winston-Mangum corner) to
Church street (near the old Bap-
tist church,, and along the block
of Columbia street between
Franklin and Rosemary.
The curb and gutter construc-
tion will now begin on Frank
lin. The stretch to be covered,
from Strowd's garage to the
west end of the street, is 5000
feet long. At the rate Mr.. Long
made this week he can lay the
concrete the whole distance
within ten more days.
Having finished that part of
the job, he comes back to Co
lumbia street and does the con-
crete paving, from curb to curb,
between Franklin and Rosemary.
Then he moves on to Boundary
and Vance streets for the curb
and-gutter work there; after
which he returns to Franklin to

The New Athletic Council Will
Have Meeting Here Next Monday

Robert A. Fetzer is the Direc-
tor Of Athletics. So
The council met September 7,
but the college year had not
opened then and the attendance
was not complete. Next Mon
days may be properly called
the first real meeting.
The fixing of schedules is the
matter which, thus far, has
taken the chief claim upon the
councils attention. Fhere are
always conflicting opinions,
among both alumni and stu
dents, as to what institutions
should be played, and when; and
the council has to receive and
consider all the proposals and
then make the decisions.
Since the Southern Confer
ence, to which the University be-
longs, requires full faculty re-
sponsibility in athletics, the con-
stitution of the new council pro-
yides that the faculty members,
in conference with the President
Of the University, shall have full
veto power over all acts of the
council. A faculty committee
still determines the eligibility of
players.
The alumni members of the
council are nominated by the
executive committee of the Cen
eral Alumni Association and are
elected at regular meeting Of
the Association.
The council is to hold a meet
ing on the first Monday of each
month.

that for many years, from all
over the country, invitations to

him, but he has never yielded to
the call of the platform. Not to
make speeches is a rule of his
life. His schedule provides for
only a few hours in Chapel Hill.
He and Mr.. Patterson will go

with various members of the
