Of this total, farmers in Rowan

charges in doing SO. In a num-
Der of cases, scale-downs of indebt-

the new loans. These and other
advantages benefited farmers pri-

benefited from the receipt Of cash

ceipt Of a letter from President
Roosevelt stating hat the proposal
to erect a terminal at Morehead
City has been approved and as soon
as the money is available the ST.
000. 900 project will go forward.
The Presidaat's letter set forth
that the Public Works administra-
ton views the eastern North Caro-

governor expressed qualification
that excellent progress is appear
emily being made in the move!
"It appears hat thu initial

an additional cost of $4,000.
There is a furthAr possibility that

read.
sFunds now available to the
Public Works administration are
insufficient to permit of making
an ALLEGATION of this subject at the
present time, and furth.r action
must accordingly await the appro-
Ipriation of additional funds for

ter stated.

owned Atlantic and North Caro-

He said he had looked into the
matter of the lease and had asked
General Dennis G. Brum-

several years the railroad has been
in default in its paymahts to the
tate, it was pointed out. The
governor indicated that he believes
thera are two or three parties who
may be interested in leasing the
