COPS PUT PUNCH
in TRAFFIC DRIVE
Continue Campaign To
Compel Observance OF
Ordinances

On two fronts yesterday police
continued their campaign to com.
pei pedestrian and motorist oh.
servation of traffic laws.
In the downtown district patrol.
men, acting on instructions OF
Chief Joseph c. Rourk, began
strict enforcement of traffic regu.
latlons governing double parking
parking of passenger cars in load.
ing zones and illegal use Of bus
stops. Also, police patrolling the
downtown area continued to warn
pedestrians still viola ting traffic
signals.
Along Market street, principal
tnoroughfare leading to Camp
Davis, police patrol cars redoubled
their efforts to curb violations of
traffic laws. At the recommen-
dation of Mayor Thomas E.
Cooper. who, as commissioner of
public safety made a personal in
vestigation of the heavily-trat-
feed highway the number of
patrol cars on Market street was
doubled yesterday. The mayor es-
timated that Market street traffic
is, at present, four times as heavy
as it was eight weeks ago, Con-
dition due to the fact that the
street is the principal artery lead
ing out of the city to Holly Ridge
where thousands of men are en-
ployed at Camp Davis.

VERDICT IS GIVEN
in HORTON DEATH
Continued From Page One)


Removed from the pole, Horton
was taken to the camp first aid
station and placed under inhalator
treatment for about four hours. A
respiratory instrument was rushed
by the Tide Water Power com
pany from Wilmington to the camp.
The accident occurred shortly
after the electrician went to work
Workmen said Horton apparently
had been hanging on the pole for
about 10 minutes when he was
removed at $3.50.
His right hand still grasping the
high voltage wire, Horton wa S
found unconscious and bent over
the pole cross-bar. Workrnen said
the electrician apparently had lost
his footira and became the victim
of 1900 volts of electricity.
The body was removed to Yopp
funeral home here. Funeral ar
rangements last night were incom-
plete pending the receipt of word
from relatives out of town and
shipment Of the body to Morgan

Jaycees Appoint Two Members
IOCOnfer With G. Commerce BODY

The Wilmington Junior Chamber
OF Commerce last night appointed
two members to meet with the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
at its next board meeting.
, Bernard Solomon and Herbert
Harrell were asked to find out in
what capacity the Jaycees can
work in cooperation with the re-
vitalizing program of the greater
Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce.s
George Stearns, from the trade
body was present at last nights
meeting and received suggestions
as to the attitude Of the Jaycees
regarding affiliation with tt a
body.
Many people are of the opinion,
Jaycees officials said, that the
Wilmington Junior Chamber of
Commerce is junior division of
the trade body, but, in reality, it
is a civic organization with by
laws, constitution, and projects.
In some towns, they said, such an
organization Of young men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 35 is
known as the junior board of trade.
The Jaycees also completed the
formulation of plans to strengthen
four old committees working on
the city manager project. These
committees are: public relations,
contracting various civic and frater-
nal organizations of the communi-
ty; finance, raising funds for the
project; educational, acquainting
citizens with project plans; and
publicity, keeping citizens informed
of all activities.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Jaycee officials called Represen-
tative John R. Morris in Raleigh
by long distance and asked if any
opposition had been voiced during
the day against the city manager

Decision Promised
A decision within the next day
or two' was promised by w. K.
Williams, supervising accountant
for the contra ctors, and one of
the principal spokesmen at yester-
days informal meeting in the city
hall. Williams explained that un-
der certain conditions the Federal
government forbade collection of
commission for cashing checks
of national defense projects, but
added in my opinion the offer of
the banks here will be agreeable
to all concerned"
Ever since the payroll on the
military camp project has b n
pouring into Wilmington an acute
problem has confronted local busi-
nessmen. The contractors pay each
Friday afternoon between ana
S o'clock, and, local merchants
anxious to accommodate the work
ers, have been cashing checks,
each week in increasing numbers.
Last Friday an estimated 1000
payroll checks we're cashed by
merchants, while on Saturday. the
banks cashed that many and more
of the checks, it was developed
at the meeting yesterday.
Next Friday, Williams estimated,
the number of checks would be
considerably greater, probably ap-
preaching the 5000 mark in total,
or well over $15O,00O. He was bas-
ing his estimates, he said, on the
assumption that so per cent of the
total payroll checks issued e
presented for cashing in Whining
ton. By March l, when, Williams
said, the Camp Davis payroll may
near the 10000 mark. Wilmington
may be called upon to cash be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 h k S
weekly during peak : employment
on the project.
Much Bookkeeping
1nasmuch as the contractors
checks are drawn on Charlotte
bank, considerable bookkeeping has
been occasioned in each of the
four Wilmington banks. To relieve
the stress occasioned by transfer
ring the checks to Charlotte for
cancellation and payment, Will
dams proposed that each of the
local banks pay out of their own
funds all payroll checks presented
to them, and, in turn, accept the
contractors draft for f u n d S re-
leased to accommodate the work
ers. Such plan, subject to ap-
proval of the government and the
contractors, would, Williams said,
solve one of the more serious prob
lens the camp payroll has caused
local banks: a tie-up of funds pend
ing transfer of cash through Fed

eral Reserve channels from Char.
lotte to Wilmington.
Speaking for the banks, Johnson
explained that the local financial
institutions were "doubly anxious
to help the community and the
workers, but" he added, ito open
the banks for a few hours each
Friday night would cost a sizable
sum of money. Who is to pay
this cost?"
One suggestion was advanced
that the merchants pro-rate the
cost entailed the banks by the
check cashing accommodation
That was vetoed as too compli-
Gated.
''The banks will not make a
profit at one-tenth of one per cent
per check, with a 10 cent mini
num- Johnson said. THAT fig
ure will just about pay the costs
If the service"
Few of the checks, Williams
pointed out, would exceed $l00,
thus keeping the service charge
at the 10-cent minimum.
Should the plan proposed by the
banks be accepted in sufficient
time it is probable that the city's
four banking houses will open be-
tween the hours OF and 9 O'Clock
each Friday night. No other busi-
ness will be transacted but cash
ing Camp Davis checks.
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper vol
unteered to furnish the banks with
adequate police protection during
the Friday night opening hours,
should the program be inaugu
rated.
