He said that $SS. .ses, $50 Of the total

Government.
A breakdown of the distribution Of
funds was based largely on figures
prepared by the Labor Departments

The prepared breakdown" esti-
mated that 14s. 800 dwelling units will
be constructed under the program. Mr..
Straus believes this Is = too conserva-
tive estimate. On the basis Of con-
tracts already signed, he ventured the
opinion that the number OF dwelling
units will more nearly approach 160,-
900. This means, he said. about 600,-
900 persons viii eventually receive

total. In this amount wages are
chiefly reflected as well Is the pur-
chase Of materials.
Mr.. Straus spoke Of the swell CO.

services were estimated at only $23.-

Not Certain

has taken every step it can toward

project majority of nearly two to
one, Federal PWA grant for $45,
600 toward 100000 sewage disposal
plant is by no means assured, accord
ing to Mayor Henry T. Powell. The
mayor has returned from trip to
Washington, where he went for the
purpose of comforting with PWA Of
ficials as to a probable date for the
approval of the city's application
Mr.. Powell said he learned that
$650,C00,O00 of an allotment of $780,
100000 to the FWA for loans and
grants to public agencies had already
been pledged to applicants at the time
the Henderson. City Council approved
the proposal here, and sent it's appli-
cation to the PWA district office in
Atlanta. It did not get to Washington
until some days after that.
The mayor was given the impress
sion that there might be an addi-
tional ALLEGATION to the PWA for pur-
poses of this kind. But, unless that is
done, there is a. genuine possibility
that Henderson may get no sewage
money from the Federal government
in the near future. Applications ahead
of Henderson, and which have not yet
been passed upon, call for many times
the amount of money that remains
available, the mayor learned. He said
it did appear that sanitary projects
had the inside track with the powers
that be in the administration.
While in Washington the mayor
was piloted about town and assisted
to the proper quarters by Wesley Nc
Donald, secretary to Senator Rey-
nolds, who arranged the appointment
with PWA authorities The senator
himself also showed him every pos
sible courtesy, Mr.. Powell said.

Five permits for new building pro-

by Fire Chief Cooper Ellis, and COW
cred construction valued at $3,250,
that official reported today All of
the projects except one were for resi-
Dental construction.
The figure, however, was less than
for September last year, when three
permits covered $16,7OO of new con-
struction, and August of this year,
when $4,000 of new building was pro-
vided for in three permits.
For the first nine months of 1888,
new construction has been $4,000, in
~ permits, compared with $4,000 in
IS permits for the like period last

Three of the permits last month
were to Mamie Inscoe for dwellings
on Flint Hill, two of them listed at
$3.50 and one at $3.50. One was for a

Another Perfect
Month On Fires

September was a perfect month
as to fires in Henderson, not
single dollars worth of damage
being reported for the month by
Fire Chief Cooper Ellis in his
monthly summary today. There
were three false alarms, but no
fires at all, he said.
In September last year there
were two alarms brit no fires, and
in August of this year there were
three alarms and tyvO fires, but
of too slight consequence to be re-
corded, with perfect month rung
up. For the nine months of 1888
HendersOn's fire loss has been 49,
sos, compared with $4.O7O in the
like period a year ago, the records
indicated.
In 1888 there has been fire loss
only in the months of May, June
and July Fire damage in 1887 was

final PAYMENT TO
CHEST NOW SOUGHT
Beneficiaries May Share 100
Percent In Allotments
For Year

Final and immediate payments on
pledges made to Henderson's 1lrst
Community Chest are now being So
1icited from those who have not al
ready finished their promised dona-
tions, it was said today by Sam Al
ford, secretary-treasurer of the fund.
He said he believed that sufficient
money would be realized in a few
days to make possible complete fourth
quarter payments to the agencies
sharing in the funds.
After the solicitations have been
finished, a meeting Of the chest COM
mittee will be held for the purpose of
receiving reports from all activities
that have shared the money. Four OF
these have reported, five have not.
Mr.. Afford said that one participant
in the chest, while receiving its allot-
ment, had spent none of it during the
year. That is the group that has fos-
tered child recreational facilities. It
got $3.50, in the allotment.
There is a possibility that a. new
group to furnish milk to underpri-
vileged school children will knock at
the door of the chest. for 1889. It adj
mitted, it will displace the PIT. "A.
milk fund. If the recreational agency
is dropped, the two together would
make it possible for the new work to
be undertaken from Chest financing,
and some $3.50 would be requested, ac-
cording to present indications.
When the directors meet after col
lections for the first year have been
completed, new officers will be elect
ed for 1885, and these, in turn, will
select campaign chairman for the
1899 drive and a date this fall will be
set to carry on the campaign. c. o.

Chest this year.
