WILL SEEK FUNDS
TO WIDEN ROUTE 1
State Highway and Public Works
Commission To Be Asked for
Expansions Here

Chairman Samuel M. Watkins, of
the Vance Board of County Commits
sioners, and B. H. Perry, county at
torney, plan to make trip to Ra-
leigh in the next few weeks to take
up with the State Highway and Pub
lie Works Commission the matter of
widening Federal highway No. 1 be-
tween Henderson and Norlina, a dis
lance of some 16 miles north from
this city.
The county commissioners have APP
proved the project and made formal
request. of the State commission. The
Vance County Pomona Grange also
went on record in favor of the wild
ening of the road when they held a
meeting last week. The fact that it
is a part of the national highway be-
tween Maine and Florida, and that
It bears a tremendous load of traffic
in this particular stretch is consider
ed a convincing argument in favor
of appropriating sufficient funds to
widen the pavement by two or three
feet.

Jail Rooms
Matter May Come
Before Com mis-
sioners Mond a Y;
Sites Being Sought

Vance county's present Jail quarters
considered by officials as totally in
adequate and lacking in equipment
may be abandoned shortly and new
temporary Jail be set up, it was learn
ed today. Chairman Samuel M. Wat
kins, of the Vance Board of County
Commissioners, has been inspecting
the present Jail on Breckenridge
street, half a mile from the court
house, and other members of the
board have also been there to view it.
Inquiry has also been made as to
the availability of certain property
and the chairman said that any pro
perty owner who had a building that
might be suitable was invited to con-
tact the board as to it's fitness for
the, Jail.
The new quarters would be rental
property and only temporary, to serve
for probably couple of years, by
which time it is hoped the county
will be able to erect a new court
house and new Jail without increas-
ing the tax burden.
Mr.. Watkins said today consider.
able boosting could be had from
WPA funds toward equipping a new
temporary Jail, but that it would re-
quire a couple of months to get the
project through. He talked as though
the board was prepared to proceed
Immediately and is ready to recon-
mend that it do so.
Increase in the number of women
prisoners, and the mounting lists OF
prisoners generally is taxing the cap
acity of the Jail. At the present time
there are a score or more occupants
of the quarters, which are not pro-
perly equipped for that many persons
It is not intended that any large fin
ancial outlay will be made at this
time, any such commitments being
held off pending a decision to move
for new court house, with the jail
probably on the top story.

son, was made on the Henderson to-
bacco market for the 53S,76O pounds

more money than was paid in any one
day for a single days sale last season
There were several sales days last
year when slightly more tobacco than
that sold, although the figure is a
high one, and represents speedy sell
ing by the sales crews.
The two sets of buyers worked
rapidly throughout the entire day
and when closing time came the
block that was left over for sale to-
day was estimated at between 100000
and. 100000 pounds. The Monday Of
ferings by growers were believed to
have exceeded the some 100000
pounds brought in for opening day
Tuesday of last week. The block was
cleared today, however, together with
all new leaf that was brought in
overnight to he sold.
All floors were clear late this aft
ernoon and ready for additional heavy
offerings Wednesday.
Prices paid on the Henderson mar.
ket are among the very highest not
only in the Middle Belt but anywhere
in the State There is no indication
of a sliding scale of prices as the
market moves into mid-season form
and mid-season quality and prices.
Farmers were very much pleased
with prices Monday, and have founc
the Henderson market one of thu
highest to be found anywhere. Price:

ReXf0rd Men Here
On Water Problem

Four Redord men, VIM. Fewkes, Jr,
Lem Collar, Jake Weir and Fred
Marvel, drove to Libby Tuesday and
conferred with the county commits
sioners relative to a matter that has
been causing the citizens of Rexford
much inconvenience and annoyance
The Rexford water system has been
frozen up since in February and the
town has been without city water since
that time. The owner of the plant
seems disinclined to make the necessary
repairs. Inasmuch as ReMord is not an
incorporated town, the men appeared
before the county commissioners seek
ing solution of the difficulty 1t is
believed some plan can be worked out
to correct the trouble.
The Rexford men also reported tina.
a meeting of the Montana public serv-
ice and railroad commission will be
held in Rexford in the near future.
