Town Authorities Are Considering
Curling OF Railroad Street Soon

A proposal to lay curbing and Wild
Ell the surfacing on the east side
of Railroad Street was under con-
sideration by town authorities this
week.
This matter was taken under adj
vlsement when it was learned that
proposed improvements on the east
lane of Railroad Street had to be
deleted from the municipal improve
ment plan because the section from
Fifth to Live Oak streets is a part
of Highway 7O1, a Federal aid high
way.
Question of placing the curbing
Immediately was contingent upon the
attitude of state highway officials
toward surface treating the widened
area.
Lewis E. Gore, member of the city
board Of commissioners in charge Of
streets here, and Willard G.. Cole,
executive secretary of the Tabor City
Merchants association, conferred with
state highway maintenance officials
in Whiteville Wednesday. They were
advised that the proposed project
would be looked over at an early date
and a decision reached as to its feast
bility from their standpoint and the
probable date when work could be
performed.
1t is proposed to curb the east lane
on either side with curb immedi-
ately adjacent to the iron guard at
the railroad and the east curb being
placed along the right-of-way in
front of the Ritz Theatre and extend
ing beyond the filling station at
Railroad and Fifth.
Whether highway officials could
Immediately surface the section be-
cause of the approaching winter sea-
son was problematical since it will
AXE several weeks to lay the curb
ing.
While no official decision has been
reached, it is understood that the
city may proceed with its portion
of the work as soon as highway of
ficials give their approval. This
would then enable the state to go
ahead with its work as soon as the
weather is favorable for pouring as
phalt mix.

Grid Team Beats
Wilmington

With Fred Soles pushing across
a touchdown off left tackle in the
second quarter, the Tabor City foot
ball team tackled up win last Fri
day night when they out Unanswered
the Wilmington high team at Legion
stadium there for 60 victory.
The Wilmington team, which held
Whiteville to a 90 tie in Whiteville
recently was outplayed during the
entire game and never had possess
sion of the ball inside the Tabor City
IS yard line The Local team was
on the offensive all evening. and did
not punt a single time during the
game. =,
In the first quarter the locals had
an opportunity to score but lost the
ball on downs, they then pushed
one over in the second quarter, had
another chance to score in the
third and ended the game only five
yards from another touchdown.
Every man we had played an out
standing game. The team fought
hard all the way and deserved to
win," Coach S. w. Caruso stated
his week.
1--WE used only three substitutes all
evening in comparison to the great
many used by Wilmington, but the
drive that Andy Jernigan, Fred Soles
and Ted Fipps showed along with
the outstanding game that the whole
team played was enough to bring
the win home" the coach continued.

Traffic Light
To Be Installed
In Tabor City

Installation Of traffic light at the
intersection Of the Whiteville and
Pireway highways near the Jessup-
Inman Funeral Home was authorized
by the Tabor City board of commis-
sioners Tuesday night.
Immediate purchase of equipment
was voted after Willard G. Cole, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Tabor City
Merchants Association, had appeared
before the commissioners and pre-
sented the results of 40-Ininute
traffic survey showing the danger Of
what is known as the school cross
ing.
In the rush period while child
rem are on their way to school, Coles
survey showed that 81 through We
hicles passed this corner in 40 min
utes, while 104 vehicles entered or
left the Whiteville road at this
point.
In presenting the survey with
out prejudice as indicating the need
for traffic light or some other pre-
cautionary measure" the Merchants
Association secretary declared that
out of 81 vehicles which passed the
corner during his check only IS were
within the 20-mile speed limit, that
"at least IL were we'll beyond the
border line Of safety and not less
than two were positively dangerous"
"In all my experience, I have
never seen school children who were
more cautious and showed such evil
dence of good training, and this pos.
sibly accounts for the fact that no
child has been seriously injured or
killed at the crossing, Mr.. Cole told
the commissioners.
The city board, which has under adj
visement the installation of traffic In
the main section of town, decided to
obtain the advice of traffic en-
gineer before proceeding due to the
technical problems involved.
