RALEIGH. Sept. 2.-The state
highway and public works COM
mission is running into at least one
very unexpected difficulty as. the
result of the recent floods.
At several places, notably at
North Wilkesboro, the commission
had stacks of lumber washed down
stream by the swollen streams.
From the Wilkes county 125, 900
feet was swept down the Yadkin
river and deposited more or less
without special pattern on the prop
erty of downstream owners.
The highway folks naturally as
sumed they assumed they could
just go on the land wherever the
lumber had lodged, gather it up
and bring it back to North Wilkes
boro; but they reckoned without
one woman's disposition, at least.
She positively refused to let work
ers set foot on her land and insists
hat the lumber having been float
ed down to her, is now hers.
So the harassed highway fore
men had to come to Raleigh for
legal advice. Charles Ross, the
commissions general counsel, says
there's no doubt about the right OF
the commission to reclaim its own
lumber wherever it can be found
and identified. Its only liability
would be for damage done the land
IN removing the lumber.
They are trying to wheedle the
woman, through her brothers in
lervention, into settling peacefully;
out If She won't, then the commits
sion will be forced either to have
her put under a peace bond, or to
seek an injunction forbidding her

WASHINGTON. - A Defense
Commission member is whetting
a new sword to cut the Gordian
knot of "amortization," which is
holding up defense contracts.
Amortization is the principle
that, firms spending for plants to
build defense material should be
allowed to get that money back in
t~ax-free profits within a few years.
That averts chance of loss should
the emergency pass and the plant
become less valuable because its
products are not needed.
The plan being readied for Con.
gress has an equally fancy name.
1t is residual valuation" But it
is simpler than that.
The manufacturer and the gov.
eminent would appoint appraisers
When the plant built for defense
needs became five years old, the
appraisers would agree on its
worth at that time. The govern.
ment would then buy the property
at that figure.
Many manufacturers have been
unwilling to put money into plant
expansion until they are assured
in advance that they will not be
left holding the bag in a couple Of
years with expensive plants or
their hands for which they have nc
use. The new proposal would as
sure that they would not be left
holding such a bag, but that the
government would shoulder it.
