County To Seek $4,000
Road Refund From State
Payment for Concrete on abney and Louisburg Roads
Petitioned for in Compila ton To Go Before 1887
General Assembly; Fl lie Claim This Week

Under the proposed plan for State
refunds to counties that have built
hard-surface highways, Vance will ask
for little more than $4,000, Chairman
Samuel M Watkins, of the Vance
Board of Commissioners, announced
today. Papers are now being pre-
pared and will be filled with the COM
mission in Raleigh probably late this
week.
B. H. Perry, county attorney, is
preparing the application, which calls
for considerable detail work.
The roads on which refunds will be
sought by this county are the mile of
concrete extending westward on the
Dabney road, and the mile of con-
crete out the Louisburg highway be-
yOnd the Andrews avenue city limits
and to the fair grounds. The county
some years ago received a refund
from the State Highway Commission
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-08-19

for paving on the Oxford road a dis
lance of a mile from the city limits
The payment for that stretch of road
was, roughly speaking, around $780,
600, and the refund was made shortly
after the completion of the paving on
the Observation-Disclosures road.
At the 1895 General Assembly, au-
thorization was given for the appoint
ment by Governor Ehringhaus of a
committee to receive claims of coun-
ties for refunds. The governor ap-
pointed this committee a few weeks
ago and it has notified all counties
to file their claims not later than Au-
gust 25. The committee will made a
study of the claims and prepare a re-
port, with recommendations, for con-
sideratiOn of the 1887 General AS
Sembly.
Senator Carl Bailey, of Plymouth
Washington county, is chairman of
the committee.

PLAYGROUND CLASS
ATTENDANCE HOLDS
Was Daily Average of SO Last Week.
Compared With Enrolment
of 391 at Times

Attendance at the four playground
classes at as many schools in the city
continued close to the 100 figure last
week on a daily average, it was re-
ported today from the office of the
welfare superintendent of the county,
where compilations are made. Daily
attendance for the week was given
as SO, and the average daily enroll
ment 391. There were five visitors dur
ing the week.
North Henderson reported an en-
rollment of 95 and an attendance Of
Is; South Henderson, 1877, and and 49,;
West End, II and II; Central, 80 and

and West End three.
This is the last week of the eight

ned for, but early this week it was
announced that PWA funds would be
made available for continuing the
work for an indefinite time. Detailed
plans for this operation have not
been announced.

that now exists in the city. Hundreds
will be given jobs in the six large
warehouses, whose operation will
start just ahead of the opening of the
tobacco auction season on September
%. The two large redrying plants will
get under way before that time, and
will absorb much of the common
labor that is available.
Observers consider that the employ
ment situation here is no longer acute,
and that the building operations now
under way or about to start, together
with the tobacco demand will further
tend to cut down any demands that
still may exist for the finding of jobs
for unemployed.
