and agencies have submitted thei,
bids. the bids will be opened by
the commission. The commission
will then award the bonds to the
bidders who submitted the bids
which will give the city the loves
net cost.
The lowest net cost, Benson ex-
planned, is derived from a compila-
ton Of two factors in the bids-the
premiums and the rates of interest.
The commission handles the work
of computing which bids, when
the two factors are combined, give
the city the lowest net cost and
makes the awards accordingly.
Fulfills Promises
Today's election, if it has a
favorable outcome, will fulfill the
city's pre-eXtension promises to
provide water, sewerage, storm
drainage, fire protection, and
paved streets to the new city areas
south and east of the old city
limits.
And it will also provide the entire
city with improvements to the
facilities already in operation.
City officials stress that all this
will be done without increasing
the city tax rate. Revenue from
the new city areas and income
from the city as a whole will pro-
vide sufficient funds to retire the
bonds.

STONE IS DENIED
PETITION IN SUIT
Action Grows Out OF Ship
Collision With Bridge
Here

Repercussions Of the collision
when the S. S. Severance rammee
the Cape Fear river bridge ano
sank on November %, 1910, were
sounding yesterday when the US
Supreme court denied R. r. Stone,
owner of the Stone Towing Line,
? petition for writ of c%ertiorari in
the case.
The ship, owned by the Diamond
Steamship Transportation com
pany, was being piloted by Stones
crew when it struck the bridge
and sank, destroying a large car
90 of sulphur, it is claimed.
500, 900 Damage
The Diamond company sued Tor
500, 600 damages. Since then the
case has had a Sonny, six-year
long career in the courts.
An Eastern district court denied
Diamond its suit for damages.
The company then took the case
to the U. S. Circuit court Of Ap-
peals in Richmond, Va. This court
reversed the previous decision ano
held Stone fully responsible for
the 500, 900 damages.
Files Petition
Stone then filed his petition fol
writ Of certiorari with the U. S,
Supreme court. If the petition had
been granted, a review of the
entire case would have been made.
In refusing the petition, the Su-
preme court upheld the decision
of the Richmond court, and Stone
is still liable for payment of the
$500, 900.
May Settle
Indications yesterday were that
George R%ountree, Wilmington at.
torney for the Diamond company,
and John w. CAST, Jr., Norfolk
attorney for Stone, might agree
on a damage settlement soon.
If the settlement is not reach
ed, Federal Judge Don Gillian
will appoint a special commission
er TO fix the amount of damages
which Stone must pay.

Mcclellan of Tennessee and Arthur
Capper of Kansas.
Funeral In Lynchburg
The funeral service will be held
at 3 p. m. on Thursday at Lynch
burg, Va, where Glass, as a
country editor, began a study OF
national fiscal problems which be-
came his particular specially in
Congress.
Through application to this field,
he probably had as much influence
on banking and monetary legisla-
ton as any man of his time. He
sponsored the Federal Reserve Act
of 1920 and was known as the
Father of the Federal Reserve
system"
To the public at large, however,
Glass vas probably better known
for pungent speeches in politica.
battles and in congressional de-
bate.
He differed strongly with the
late President Roosevelt over the
New Deals fiscal policies ano
said so vigorously. He also opposed
a third term for MI. Roosevelt.
Warm Affection
But, despite their differences,
Mr.. Roosevelt maintained a warm
affection for the man he once term.
ed the "Unreconstructed Rebel"
Glass sincerity in espousing his
views was thing no n ever
questioned.
1t was a point repeated over
and over by Republicans and
Democrats alike as Senators, in a
21-minute session, spoke in sor-
row of their colleagues death.
Senator Byrd D.-Va.), announc.
ing Glass death, said his char
acter, carved out of unblemished
granite, was composed of truth
and loyalty and sincerity that
hates deceit and detests a lie."
Senator George (D.-Ga.), said OF
his longtime friend: He instinc-
lively turned away from all false
pretense and fraud. There was no
sham in his SOUL"
Ill For Four Years
For almost four years, Glass
was kept inactive by the chains
of illness. George, who was a next
door neighbor in their hotel, told
the Senate that the Virginian bore
that illness 'uncomplainingly."
1t is known, however, that he
fretted during the wal over his
inability to take an active part in
prosecuting it to victory. He was
one of those called %''interven-
tionist'' in the days when this coun-
try was split over the issue of
whether aid should be given
Britain.
There were no doubts in Glass
mind. He said in 194l that he
/ would like to "shoot hell'' out of
the Nazis.
Glass last years of illness led
to a sharp political controversy
in Virginia. His inability to go to
the Senate floor resulted in de-
mands from several newspapers
that he resign. In July, 1945, John
Locke Green, a Republican and
treasurer of Arlington county,
sought unsuccessfully through
court action to have the seat de-
clared vacant.

Although Sally AllistOn,

that Jimmy Kennedy is a
great flirt, she finds herself
succumbing to his charms.
Sally's mother, hOusekeeper
for the rich =ethrup family,
urges Sally to set her cap for
Philip Jethrup. While dining
with Philip, Catherine Win
gate, heiress, stops beside
their table and informs Sally
that she is engaged to Philip.
Sally departs at once. Helen
Stafford asks Jimmy Ken
nedy to go to a party. He is
greatly surprised to see DrOn-
ola Moore, stage star, at this
party. On a previous Occa-
sion Jimmy had kissed DrOn-
da, had gotten slapped, and
suffered the suspension of his
job because of his act. Jim
my resigns bis job as pilot,
calls on DrOnda and asks her
to marry him. Sally is both
surprised and perturbed at
reading in the paper that
Philip Jethrup and Catherine
Wingate are to be married on
the first of the month.

Pack? Jimmy, where are you
going?"
"Places, cherub. To Buffalo,
then to Los Angeles and dear old
Hollywood. Dronda and I are
going to be married. You may
have the honor of being the
first to congratulate me-"
"You know what, JIMMY"
'What?" he asked, nettled by
ner evasion.
IT think I'm going to let you
do it. Yes, I think I really will
let you do it."
'Hey," he shouted after her.
Then made wry face because
she kept on going down the
stairs.
Sally didn't think life was so
beautiful. She had been closeted
with her mother for almost a
half-hour now, and the more she
thought of it the more convinced
she was that life at best was a
mess.
After years and years of loyal
service to the Jethrups, her
mother was on the verge of be-
ing discharged. Not because she
had failed to do her duty, but be-
cause she had thought her duty
was more Important than he,
