One For Number 16
District Commissioner Hackett
Says 1t will Certainly Be
Included In May.
TWO MILLION ALLOTTED

AT a meeting of the State High
way Commission in. Raleigh today
contracts on II new road projects,
to cost approximately $3.50, 100000
will be let, but the proposed new
highway project for No. is, from
Warrensville to beyond Creston, is
not included in the. letting.
Last Thursday afternoon a dele
CATION Of citizens went to see Cor
don Hackett, district commissioner
in North Wilkesboro and yesterday
The Post called Mr.. Hackett on the
phone and asked him why this pro-
ject was not included.
"The only way I can explain it
is that the fellows in the depart
ment at Raleigh just haven't work.
ed up final plans" he declared.
Money was set aside for this road
some time ago and I am using all
Of my efforts to get it through .
I'm sure it will be in the next let
ting, which will be held in May,
he said.
For the second times in less than
a year, Gov. Hoey Monday allocated
$4,000, 100000 from the highway fund
surplus for the Improvement of Sec
ondary and farm-to-market roads.
"This money is to be divided be-
tween the counties and I shall GER
tainly see to it that AShe gets her
share" Mr.. Hackett assured The
Post yesterday.
Gov. Hoey said the appropriation
of the two million was made pos
sible because of a large highway
surplus that now totals over SO, 000,-
10000. Of this amount, though,
$1,50O,000 is represented in road ma
chinery and that two million is
needed for current operating ex-
penses.
Both of these two million allo-
cations are in addition to the regu-
lar legislative appropriation of $5,-
100000 for maintenance of farm
to-market roads.
Highway department officials es-
timated that the new appropriation
would put secondary roads in the
best condition in the history Of the
state.
The allotment will enable certain
WPA road betterment projects to
be carried out since portion of
the money will be spent to supple
ment WPA funds.

Improvement OF
Star Route Mail
Service Approved
Application For Better Service
From North WilkesborO
Okeyed In Washington.
DETAILS NOT ANNOUNCED

The star route mail service from
North Wilkesboro to the Jeffersons
will be improved in the near future,
according to a. telegram which DR..
B. E. Reeves received from Con-
gresham r. L. Qoughton yesterday.
The telegram stated:
Application for improving mail
service between West Jefferson and
North Wilkesboro has been APP
proved. New. service must be adj
vertised for competitive bids"
A petition requesting this i'm
provement, and signed by large
number Of patrons of the Offices in
the Jeffersons, was sent to the post
office department and Congressman
Doughton last February.
The petition asked for three i'm
provement measures: first, that the
star route carrier travel the new
road; second. that the carrier make
more direct run and not be re-
quired to service rural box holders
on % of the 35-mile route and third,
that the morning mail arrive in
West Jefferson by 9 a. M, instead of
1890 to IL o'clock.
A number of acts were cited in
the petition to show that the Jeffer-
sons and Ashe county are entitled
to mail service comparable with the
service in the neighboring towns
and counties.
Details relative to the amount of
improvement approved by the post
Office department have not been an
nounced and it probably will be
thirty to sixty days before a new
schedule goes into effect.

But Gods strong arm supported me.

ease
That baffled skill and care;
How long she fingered, racked with
pain
And sufferings hard to bear
What grief and pain she suffered here

For Jesus took her home with Him
Where no tears will ever flow.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her toll on earth is done,
Her troubles are all ended,
Her heavenly crown is won.

RELIEF CRISIS DEVELOPS
WITH DECREASE IN FUNDS

this purpose this year and the relief
situation in the county is acute.
Just what action would be taken, if
any, was not learned. Counties in the
state will have to carry on with their
own funds, if they have any, refuse to
give any aid except to those in the
most dire circumstances, or borrow an
amount up to an equivalent of eight
cents on their tax rate. A law in 1888
gave counties the latter right, the
money being borrowed against the
next levy.
