Legal Technicalities Cause
Delay. To Vote $4,000 to
Street Project.

Because of some legal techni-
cality, the proposed special $751;
900 street improvement bond cleo
ton for the town of West Jeffer-
son will. be held on Saturday,
September 3, instead of on Mon
day, August IL, as was announced
a short time ago.
At meeting last Friday night,
the board of aldermen passed an
other bond ordinance, which is
supposed to meet all requirements
of the Local Government Com
mission. This ordinance is pub
ished elsewhere in this paper.
At the same time, the board
called special election. No new
registration will be made. F. B.
Jones, town clerk, will act as re-
gistrar, c. S. McNeill and B. B.
GRAPHICAL as judges. Voting will
be done at the usual voting place.
WPA has approved a $4,000
street improvement project and in
order to take advantage of it, the
town must raise approximately
$4,000 through the sale of new
bonds.
The WPA project provides for
hard surfaced streets in the bust
ness district and black-topping in
residential sections. Other fea-
lures include sidewalks, curbing
and guttering.
AS street improvement is one
of West Jefferson's greatest needs

Proposed sites inspected includ
ed property in West Jefferson

land adjacent to the stock market
here, two-acre tract belonging
to Bill Wayman in front of his
home between the Jefferson, a
two-acre tract at Smethport and
the old roller mill location in
Jefferson.
The Smethport site can be
bought for $4OO; Wayman land for
$1,000 and the roller mill proper
ty for $4,000, it was explained.
Mr.. Meier said it might be bet
ter not to hev the plant inside of
the corporate limits here be-
cause of various possible compi-
cations, but declared that it
should be readily available to the
shopping center.
Of the locations inspected, the
REA officials were most favor
ably impressed with the Wayman
site. However, it was specifical-
ly pointed out that the project
could not afford to pay out over
$500 for a site and Mr.. Wayman
said he could not afford to sell
at that price.
Gwyn Price, president of the
Cooperative and other directors
are now looking for other possible
locations. Mr.. Luff is expected to
return the first of the week to
see what developments have TAX

"After looking at the tax val
uation of real estate, as listed on

to find that land here and around
