the past two years, will officiate as
referee.
Sank Centre has a tough as
signment with Glenwood right off
the bat. When the two teams met
in this city several weeks ago
Sank Centre swamped the Pope
county lads. At Glenwood a couple
of weeks ago Sank Centre was de-
feated. Those who witnessed the
game said the low ceiling in the
Glenwood Gym handicapped the
Sank Centre quint.
Sank Centre was granted the
District tournament by a unani-
nous vote again this year, primar-
lily because the attendance had
been sufficient in the past to meet
all expenses and also because of
the high class craftsmanship of the
Sank Centre folks. Season tickets
for the entire series of games has
been placed at SIPS. Single adj
mission for adults has been placed

these plows.
J. B. Schoenhoff brought up the

none, fell last year, and we are

is soon to be installed in the

passes to the monster boilers.
OHder the new plan a portable
conveyor will take it to the ele-

take it to the bins; and in falling
from the bins it will be auto
matically weighed before it
reaches the mechanical stokers

The bins hold 10 tons and have
to be refilled about every 8
hours. The new machinery will

HILL SAYS NEW
ROAD WILL BE
SURFACED SOON
Gravel Top viii Be Laid on
Highway Link from Chapel
Hill TO Nelson
SOUTH ROAD IMPROVEMENT

When he was here at the
meeting of the trustees building
committee Monday, John Sprunt
Hill, state highway commission
er for this district, announced
that a gravel surface would
be laid promptly upon the road
from here to Nelson. Which
means that traffic should be
passing over the short route to
Raleigh before the end of fall.
Mr.. Hill also brought the well
come news that the highway
commission would take over the
paving of the entire width of
the road back of the campus,
about 30 feet, instead of leaving
part of it to be paid for by the
University. This is on condition
that the University will immedi-
ately construct concrete curbs
and cutters.
The hard-surfacing will not
be done until year hence, since
the earth must be allowed to
settle. But a gravel top 5 inches
thick will be put on as soon as
the curb-and-gutter job is COM
pleted.
= The University is to make
determined effort to fulfill it's
part of the bargain without de-
lay, and it is hoped that the road
will be ready for use within q
few weeks. This artery of
about half mile, along the edge
of the campus, is highly impor-
tant because of the crowds COM
ing to football games in the
Kenan stadium. 1t is probable
that $4,000 people will attend
the Carolina Georgia Tech
match October 81.
Between the South road and
the place where the old Raleigh
road is crossed by the railway
spur the University and the
town of Chapel Hill, jointly, will
build curbs and cutters and lay
a gravel surface. This stretch,
passing along by Emerson field,
is an essential link in the com
munity's street and road system,
for over it, on every occasion
which brings visitors to Chapel
Hill, pass hundreds of automo-
biles which come from Durham
and turn off eastward from the
main street.

Deficit Discussed at Meeting of
Bank Directors and School Board

K. w. Parham's audit of the
accounts of the Chapel Hill
school, presented to a joint meet
ing of the school board and di-
rectors of the bank, shows these
facts:
There IS a deficit of $26,35O
In the operating fund.
OF this total, $7,538 accuma-
lated from operations during the
last gear (1927-1928).
Unpaid Sataries-the arrears
due to teachers, as of August 81
amount to $1,000.
There is a Surplus of 1918 IN
the bond repayment and sinking
find account. When this is sub
tracted from the operating de-
ficit of $26,35O,the balance
sheet SholUS net deficit of
$23,218.
The bank is vitally Interested
in the schools financial Situa-
ton because it has loaned money
to cover the obligations incurred
by the school board. 1t holds
notes to a total of $f6, 500, bear
ing the individual endorsements
of the board members, this
amount constituting the deficit
accumulated to June of 1927.
A year ago it was thought
that several thousand dollars
was due to the Chapel Hill dis
trict from the county's funds,
bit bit the lit supposittfion proved to be
incorrect. So this item, 81, ,566,
has had to be charged back to
the deficit.

NEGRO, ASLEEP AT WHEEL OF AUTOMOBILE TRUCK
RAMS ABERNETHY SEDAN AND KNOCKS IT OFF ROAD

On their way back from
Canada DR.. and Mrs. Eric
Abernethy and Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold d. Meyer, travelling in
the Abernethy's Studebaker
sedan, left Philadelphia early
in the afternoon of Thursday of
last week. They crossed the
Delaware river into New Jer-
sey and proceeded along the Pen
grove road. When they were
nearing the town of Woodbury.,
about nine miles from PhiIa-
deIphia, they met a giant truck.
While it was still a long way
off DR.. Abernethy, who was
driving, noticed that the truck
was encroaching dangerously
upon the wrong side of the road.
To give it plenty of room he
pulled off to the right edge, and
at last, when he saw a collision
was imminent, came to a full
stop. The truck bore down
upon the sedan and crashed into
its left side, knocking it across
the ditch. There happened to

point, and this was all that kept

stances"
This next years budgetary
appropriations show a drastic
reduction as compared with last
year's-from $3S,562 to $29, ,975.
The reduction comes about part
ly through a curtaiIment in the
schools activities (the elimina-
ton of certain branches of train
lng) and partly through the as
sumption by the University of
the payment of the salaries of
all the University professors
teaching in the school. Last
year the school district paid part
of these salaries.
The bank directors and the
school board, at the joint meet
ing the otherevening, engaged in
a long discussion of the deficit
problem. One suggestion made,
on behalf of the bank was that
the accounts of the school be
periodically examined and kept
in proper order by expert book
keepers in the University's
business office, so that there
would be in the future no con-
fusion as to the relation of ex-
penSes to income.
