agencies were swamped with last
minute property owners heading in

period ended.
The law requires that property
shall be listed during the month of
April as of April 1 valuations. ~

of, property owners at the city clerk :
office and at the court hose TO get
he ;ob out of til. way.
Most of the work of listing has
been finished in the county's eight
rural townships, Horace M. Robinson,
supervisor, said today. Well over half
of it had been attended to in Hen

yet mi, Oh of it to be done. :

VANCE WILL SEEK
EASTERN DISTRICT
County Wants To Be In
Highway Area Under T.
B. Ward of Wilson

While no official announcement
has been made from Raleigh as yet
as to the placement of the counties
in the ten new districts under the
reOrgarlzed set-up of the State High
way & Public Works Commission, sug
gested ALLEGATIONS have put Vance
county in the district ranging west
ward and which would be presided
over by Samuel M. Bason, of Caswell
county, and there was talk today of
serious objection and an effort to
be placed in a district ranging east
ware instead.
The Bason district, known as the
fifth, has been specialized on as con-
tanning the counties of Alamance,
Ccswell, Durham, Granville, Guilford,
Orange, Person and Vance The
fourth district to the east is headed
up by Commissioner T. B. Ward, of
Wilson, and embracing a suggested
group of counties consisting of Frank
lin, Harnett, Johnston, Wake, War
rem, Wayne and Wilson.
The talk heard today was that
Vance would probably fare better in
the district extending eastward. In
either event, Vance would be on an
extremity Of a district.
The new State commission is to
hold its first meeting tomorrow or
early next week. under the chairman
ship of Frank L. Dunlap, who last
week was made head of the commits
sion, succeeding Capus w. Waynick
It is expected that an immediate
announcement will be made of the al
location of counties in the district
groups.
1t was expected by some today the
Vance Board of County Commission
ers would discuss the matter at their
monthly meeting for May or next
Monday, and that a request might be
possibly be made at that time that
the county. he grouped in the Ward
district. There was nothing official
about this, however.

C1ATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS
To MOVE HOUSES
NEAR UNDERPASS
Turfing on That Side of EN-
bankment on William
Street Halted

Turfting in front of residences on
William street in the vicinity Of the
| new Church-Charles street underpass
has been halted temporarily because
of the necessity for cutting down the
to the level of the sidewalk, some ten
feet below, it was learned today.
1t was understood that the G. M.
Cooper and the A. F. Newcomb resi-
dences would probably be rolled back
several feet to permit the lessening
of the grade. 1t was also said that
house-movers had visited the scene to
make inspections with a view to es-
timating the cost of rolling the houses
back. Just when the work will be done
was not learned, but probably will
be at once, as the contractors in
charge of the paving are proceeding
rapidly toward completing the under
pass job.
Turfting of the slopes on the in
clines on both sides of William street
in that vicinity has been under way
for several days, but has lately been
held up on the residential side OPP
posite the railroad embankment be-
veloped.
Who would pay for the additional
work when done was not definitely
learned After the new turn in the
project became known, Mayor Irvine
E. Watkins was asked about the situa7
ton. and would make no statement
He said he did not know about it.
The city paid several thousands Of
dollars to owners of the residence9
abutting on the excavations by way
of compensation for damages claimed
as the result of leaving their porches
and doorsteps at a high elevation
above the sidewalks.
Meanwhile, the last block of paw
ing on the William street side of the
underpass, with the exception of the
intersection area, was being poured
today, and forms were being laid for
starting work on the Garnet street
side.
