Furniture Shop
Burns In L0ris

The Loris Furnitue Factory caught
fire shortly after three o'clock Tues
day morning and suffered minor
damages as both the Loris and Ia
Dor City fire departments rushed
to the scene.
The origin of the blaze is undeter-
mined. 1t was noted early Tuesday
morning by the night Waterman who
reported it. The Loris fire depart
ment had the blaze under cantrol
soon but summoned the Tabor City
squad in case it should get out OF
control.
Starting on the south side OF the
building. the fire burned out a hole
through the roof but never was
large enough to be out Of control.
A north wind was never able to get
to the flame and is probably why
it did only slight damage.
Some kiln-dried lumber for furnl-
ture was damaged by water.
The Loris plant was completed only
a few weeks ago and had just gone
into production.

Work Commences
On X. r, Street
Curbing Project

Granite curling has arrived and
worEmen commenced laying it along
the full length of Railroad street
this week under the direction of
Engineer R. E. Reynolds.
The heavy curbing is being placed
in the ground one and ITO feet
from the sidewalks that are now
here and the sidewalks will be raised
about four inches and widened to
make them join with the curbing.
The state highway department has
assured town officials that the road
now running the length of railroad
street will be widened when the
weather permits to form complete
pavement from the railroad to the
curbing on both sides of the tracks
This is the first visible progress
that has been made since the town
board resolved several weeks ago &c
start a vast public utility expansion
program. Much work has been done
by the board since that time and the
actual placement of the curbing
marks the first steps actually taken
toward improving the town.

Live Oak RR Crossing
May Be Moved IS Feet

A resolution requesting the re-
moval of the railroad crossing at
Live Oak street to a point approx
mately rs feet south was adopted by
the board of city commissioners in
session Tuesday night.
Noting that the present routing of
N c. Highway No. 701, which nee
esSitates two 80 degree turns in the
heart of the Tabor City business
district. the resolution pointed out
that this constitutes a traffic hazard
that could be eliminated by placing
the crossing directly in line with
the approach of the highway from
the direction Of Green Sea.
The petition was addressed to the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission and the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company since it will
require their joint action to make
the change.
Large trucks and semi-trailers
have had considerable difficulty in
negotiating the turns, particularly
when the traffic was heavy. This
increases the liability of the rail-
road company and it is believed that
railroad and highway officials will
favor the more southern crossing.
A request for the change, signed
by property owners and business
men operating near the present
crossing, was presented to the COM
missiioners by Willard G.. Cole, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Merchants
Association.
The resolution together with a
sketch showing the proposed change,
will be forwarded to railroad and
highway authorities for their con-
sideration.
