ACTION IS WAITED
ON TWO PROJECTS
Underpass and Armory AL
lotments Are Hoped for
Shortly

Interested groups Of citizens who
have been active in the undertakings
are awaiting final approval of the
"go" signal on two requested WPA
projects here. namely, the underpass
connecting Charles and Church
streets under the Seaboard Air Line
railroad tracks, and the two armories
for the local units of the National
Guard.
Minor details are yet to be arranged
before definite orders are given to
proceed with the underpass work, ac-
cording to Mayor Irvine 3. Watkins.
Approval has been given by both the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission and the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, and the city has assent
ed in every respect where its coop
Grafton has been asked, including the
furnishing of property necessary for
the building of the underpass. But
lately q few minor changes have been
requested by the railroad, the mayor
said today, and these are causing adj
ditional delay.
The armory projects were approved
by the State Adjutant generals de-
partment in Raleigh, including the To-
cation, at the western extremity OF
Garnett street, and arrangements
have been made locally to handle the
financial end of the project that is re-
quired here Colonel ]. w. Jenkins has
been very active in this undertaking
and said today he would probably
make a trip to Raleigh this week to
learn the exact status of the applica-
ton filed.
Both these projects will be financed
with WPA funds, each being in {
classification where special allotments
for the purpose have been made ou
of the huge WPA spending program
and extending to many parts Of thu
country.

SOME OF HIGHWAYS
SERIOUSLY CUT UP
Freeze Has Caused Buck
ling and Cracking of Tar
Gravel Roads

Extensive damage has been dohe
and considerable repairs will be neces-
sary on some highways OF vance
county as the result of the severe
weather of the winter, and 1t may De
weeks before the roads affected are IN
normal condition again, according TO
those who have been over the routes
in the past few days.
Extensive damage has been done by
the cracking and breaking of the tar
gravel pavement on the road between
Henderson and EPSON which is part
of the highway from this city by way
of Louisburg to Rocky Mount and
other parts of Eastern North Caro-
lima. A few spots in this road between
the eastern city limits and GillburG
and from there to Epson bucklcd and
cracked during the hard freeze just
before and after Christmas, and new
trouble has developed as the result OF
the persistent extreme cold in Janu-
airy and early February. The road is
almost impossible at points, and only
by the most careful driving are cars
able to get through.
Another road that is in bad cordi-
ton is the arm OF the ola RalclSn
road to the south out South William
street through the colored section
known as Mobile" That was given a
tar-gravel paving treatment several
years ago, and in many places has
buckled and cracked like the EPSON
highway The condition is so bad t1at
fircmcn. trying to get to a fire in
that section early Sunday were badly
hampered, although they were not
forced to answer the alarm, which re-
suited from the burning of several Ne
gro dwellings beyond the city limits.
Other roads over the county are al
so in ve"y bad condition, and little
hope of a return to normal conditions
is seen until improved weather con-
ditions prevail.
