Raleigh Agrees
On City Limits
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Feb. 11.-Under the dip
lomatic handling of Senator Ballen-
tine of Wake, the proposal for vote
on extending the limits of Raleigh
has virtually been agreed upon by
leaders of both the outs and the ms
The public hearing slated for the Sen
ate Committee on Counties and
Towns Friday came to an abrupt end
when Lawrence Duncan, secretary of
the chamber of commerce and staunch
advocate of a larger Raleigh, stated
that an agreement had almost been
reached, whereby the election would
be held on March 10 of this year and
the territory brought Immediately in
to the city; that the city would be-
gin not later than January /, 1910, in
stalling water and sewer facilities,
curbing and guttering, etc., in the
new area, but that city taxes would
not be levied until next wear.
There are other angles to the agree
ment being worked out by com nit
tees representing factions which
want enlargement and those opposed
dealing with such matters as a grad
uated tax scale for the new area pend
service program. The senate commit
tee adjourned until next Tuesday at
which time reports of the local peo-
pie will be made and Senator Bal
lentine will make his recommends
ton.
This IS the biggest city extension
fight of the session and it's outcome
is being watched closely by other
large towns, particularly Whining
ton, where almost identical problems
are facing town officials and legis-
lators. The questions of bonded debt,
and just what portion of the old debt
the new taxables should have to car
ry, is one of the bothersome items in
every town extension proposal. 1t
may be that Raleigh has found a
way to adjust this problem equit-
ably to all concerned.

FEED MARKET TREND

Raleigh, Feb. 1.-THE feed mar

during the past week, states the u.
S. and North Carolina Departments

averaged somewhat lower influenced
principally by a slack inquiry for
soybean meal and cottonseed meal.
Corn feeds were unchanged to lower
while animal by-product feeds declin
ed rather sharply despite limited sup
plies. The index number of whole
sale feedstuff prices declined to 1925

last week and 1877 a year ago.
Compared with a week ago, the egg
markets in Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia were slightly strong

the lower grades. At the periods
close, in Washington net f. o. b. to
shippers, Government graded and dat

The live poultry demand during
the week was somewhat selective
with small fancy offerings meeting
the best demand.

Raleigh. Feb. 11.-When motorists
in North Carolina say "Give me five
gallons of regular gasoline" they do
so with the full assurance that they
will receive the proper quantity and
the proper quality as well.
North Carolina has decided to tackle
the problem of gasoline sale com
pletely and vigorously and today has
the most complete and thorough sys
tenn of petro cum inspection in the
United States.
It is the only state which grades
gasoline and requires that label be
attached to each dispensing pump SO
that motorists know exactly what
grade they are buying. The three
grades are specified as Premium,
Regular or Motor.
The inspection system has proved
popular both with the buyer and sell
er. Motorists no longer buy accord
ing to misleading trade terms, but
by specified grades, and bona fide
dealers are protected against wildcat
competition. The pump testing SER
vice has proved as valuable to sell
er as to buyer, because it was found
that many dealers were delivering ex-
cessive gallonage through faulty
pumps, while others were innocently
giving shorter measure.
Like many other states North Caro-
ina inspec.s pumps for accuracy OF
measurement. It is the first state to
test all grades of gasoline for the
presence of gum and prohibits the
sale of any gasoline containing more
gum than the specified maximum of
10 mig. per 100 MI.
Only three grades of gasoline can
be sold in North Carolina:
1-"Motor Grade"-A gasoline OF
average volati ity, fairly low in sui
phur, low in gum and of low octane
or "anti-knock" rating. This gaso-
line is not suitable for use in present
day high compression motors. The
minimum octane rating is so.
2.-"Regular Grade"-A gasoline OF
high volatility, low in sulphur and
gum and considerably higher in oc-
tame number of "anti-knock' rating
than motor grade gasoline. This gaso
line is suitable for use as a fuel in
the average present day high COM
preston motors. The minimum &C.
tame rating is 68.
3.-"Premium Grade"-A gasoline
of high volatility, low in sulphur
and gum, and higher in octane num-
Der of "anti-knock" rating than motor
or regular grade gasoline. It is de-
signed for use as a very satisfactory
and fuel in high compression motors.
The minimum octane rating is rs.
All tests for octane ratings are
made in the central laboratory in Ra-
leigh, (which is equipped with three
octane* motors and all other special
equipment needed for making tests
for gum and sulphur.
To operate the inspection system
the Revenue Department maintains
five "traveling laboratories" go from

is to receive funds which will assist

second is to discourage waste, since
even a nominal purchase price acts
as a check on persons ordering sup

In the chapel background, red
gowned ecclesiastics, facing each 9TH
er in long rows under Michael An
gelo's frescoes of the last judgment,
conducted their unobtrusive devotions
in the late pontiff's behalf.
Italy's grieving bishops learned
what his holiness had intended to say
to them today on the tenth anniver-
sary of the peace affected between the
Vatican and the Italian State by the
lateran accord.
An American prelate attached to
the Vatican said the prepared speech
was conveyed to ITO bishops as 81
cardinals met in the first general con-
gregation since the death of the pope
The contents of the speech were kept
secret, at least for the time being, but
sources close to the Vatican said they
understood it was concerned largely
with Italian racial restrictions on
marriage, which the pope had said
had dealt a blow to the concordat.
Three cardinals chosen by the prin-
ces of the church began preparations
for the secret conclave which will
elect a new pope.

Gasoline Inspection Is
Safeguard to Motorists

town to town and run analyses on
within few hours after the samples
are taken. The "traveling la!bora-
tories" are equipped to test gasoline
to determine the distillation range
volatility, corrosive qualities (sul-
phur) vapor pressure and presence
of gasoline in kerosene
During the first year of this inten-
sified inspection of pumps 1852 gas
o inc, kerosene and lubricating oil
pumps were tested and 6,3O3 pumps
were found to be inaccurate. A total
of 2O,S19 gasoline pumps were in
spected and 6,125 or 29.4 per cent
were found to be inaccurate. These
errors were due usually to improper
mechanical adjustment. In nearly
half of the cases, the service station
operators were delivering more gaso-
line than their meters indicated and
consequently were losing money on
their sa .es.
At the present time, according to
H. L. Shankle, Chief of the Inspec-
ton Division and Secretary of the
Gasoline and Oil Inspection Board
only very few of the gasoline pumps
are inaccurate, since the station ope-
rators now are forced to keep their
pumps accurate and adulteration of
gasoline by kerosene and substitu-
tons of inferior grades have virtual
ly been wiped out since North Caro-
lima established the grading system
and rigid inspection of bulk plants
and retail stations.

BY LYNN NTSRET


Raleigh, Feb 11.-What is believed
to be the only "well rounded" town in
the state is about to lose this dis
tinction. representative Bailey, OF
Madison county, had ready for intro
auction at the short local bill" ses-
sion today, measure amending the
charter of the town of Mars Hill.
This will be the first material amend
ment of the mountain school town
since it was established in 1893.
AT that time the town limits were
liked as circle twelve hundred Yards
in diameter. The legislature of 1905
reduced this size to 600 yards, and the
assembly of 1911 increased that to
900 yards, but no Their changes were
made in the charter. Consequently
the duties required and permitted Of
the mayor and council no longer con-
form to the needs of the times. and
it is hard to fit them to general laws.
Meantime, the junior college main
tanned by the Baptist churches has
grown, and has bought a lot of proper
ty inside the town limits which was
thus taken off the tax books. Col
lege authorities have co-operated with
the town officials in working out the
new charter.
New town lines will not follow the
circle but will be run according TO
the developed area along highways
and residential streets. It was not
thought wise to enlarge the circle, as
that would have taken in a lot of un-
developed land.
There isn't expected to be any real
fight on the proposition, because the
leading citizens, the town officials and
Mars Hill college folks have already
agreed on the main points. However,
Mr.. Bailey is going to arrange for a
public hearing if one is requested.

 On the score of forecast, the fol- lowing would Do 2 careful and cau- ti0us statement of the situation , During the year private investment ag revealed ttl security issues and building operations did not show the improvement necessary to jus. tify 6 rise in business activity from that source.
