Street Plan Is
Dropped As Result
OF Opposition

Mayor John X. Watts and the
city council voted Tuesday to
abandon the proposed street im-
provement program, for which n
$3.50, 1856 contract had already been
awarded to a contractor pending
approval of the bonds, when a
check of names on a protest pc
tition showed that more than the
necessary minimum of 20 percent
of the city's voters had signed in
order to force an election on the
bond issue.
The deciding factor in dropping
the whole program, Mr.. Watts
stated, was the refusal of the Pc
itioners 10 be bound by the re,
suits of the election Instead, he
aid. the ehief opponents of the
olan indicated that even should
he bond issue be authorized by
a general election, it would be
stacked in a court suit.
Snelve fldn
In the face of this opposition,
the mayor said, the plan will be
shelved until and unless spontan-
eous popular support should
merge sometime in the future to
AIRY through the street improve
ment program.
The plan called for general g
pairs and improvements on IL of
he city's principal streets. The
city estimated that the city's share
of the cost would run approxi-
mately $2ll,000 and the direct
cost to property owners on these
streets, $3.50
Following the letting of the
contract to the Clark Brothers
firm of Jackson, a number of
citizens who objected to the indi-
Gated costs undertook an organ
ICED opposition to the plan and
secured the signatures of 784 vot-
ers 10 a petition for an election
on the bond issue. In the absence
of such a petition, the city coun-
ell would have been empowered
to issue the bonds on its own
authority.
The opponents of the plan stat
ed that the indicated cost to them
of $2.98 a lineal foot for the side
walks, curbs and cutters was con-
siderably higher than what they
had expected in discussions of the
plan by city authorities. q.

EVA Grants Port Commission S5O, 900
For Waterfront Development Plan
Engineers Will
Blueprint Best
Port In Gulf

The Port Commission and City
of Pascagoula has been granted
$4,000 for port planning funds
by the Federal Works Agency,
according to an announcement
made Friday by the Washington
office of the agency.
The grant of funds is the re-
suit of an application made in
January of this year by the Port
Commission. and final details
were completed Monday of this
week when f. H. Bacot, com
mission member, delivered the
properly executed papers to the
EVA regional office at Atlanta.
The money will be used for
planning and blue printing one
of the finest and most modern
harbors in the Gulf region.
Present plans call for the in
stallation of an ocean-rail ter
minal on the West bank of the
Pascagoula river between the l..
& N. bridge and the rivers
mouth. The installation would in
clude wharves, transit sheds,
b~ulkheads, access roads and rail
road tracks. The Wharves would
be constructed to accommodate six
vessels at a time.
Reclaim Marsh Land
Dredging operations necessary
in the construction would be us
ed to reclaim a large area of
marsh land in the vicinity, build
ing it up well above high tide
level, which would be utilized
for oil storage tanks OF indus
trial sites.
Estimated cost of the completed
project would amount to more
tran two and one-half million
dollars.
The $4,000 advanced by the
EVA is TO be repaid, without in
terest, when actual construction
begins on the proposed project.
Deadline for grant of funds of
this type was June 30, the end
of the Federal governments fis-
cal year, and final details were
completed in a race against time.
The aid of Congressman w. M.
Colmer at Washington was a ma
jor factor in pushing through the
grant before the deadline. The
application was prepared by the
v. j. Bedell Engineering Co. of
New Orleans.
The Port Commission is sched-
uled to meet sometime next week
with city officials at which time
a contract for the engineering
work is to be let. Preparation of
the extensive plans and blue
prints will take an estimated four
to five months.
The port development plan sup
plements the present drive for
construction of the Pat Harrison
Waterway, through making ma
vigable the Pascagoula, Leaf and
Chicasawhay rivers and opening
the Hattiesburg, Meridian, Lau-
rel triangle to water navigation
and giving the intensive oil
fields and industries in that area
a water outlet for ocean shipping
through the Port of Paseagoula.
A preliminary survey of the
proposed waterways by the u. S.
Engineers has been authorized
by Congress.

Beginning Soon

Members of the Jackson Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors approx
ed "by gentlemen's agreement
Wednesday morning the law bid
received for the construction OF
bridges on State Highway SO by
the State Highway Department
and paved the way for the sur
facing of the highway from Van
cleave to Red Creek next spring,
The approval will become of
fetal Monday when il is enter
ed on the minutes of the board
at their regular meeting.
Highway District Engineer j.
w. Kornrumpf recommended the
boards acceptance of the bid and
said that the completion of the
five ridges would be followed by
the surfaeing of the highway lin
the next construction period,
which begins next spring."
He will submit the bid to the
Public Roads Administration on
July 8 for approval, which is con-
sidered a formality.
The Kink Construction Com
pany of Taylorsville was low
bidder with a SAC, 884.77 figure
for the five bridges, three of
which are concrete bov bridge
construction and two of multiple
lines of 54-inch pipe. The struc.
lures will span small streams
crossing the highway in the Fort
Bayou area and north of Van
cleave where tributaries of
Mowngers Creek cross the right
Of way.
Red Creek Left
The taking of the bids on the
bridges followed by more than
one year arrangements made be-
tween the board OF supervisors
and the highway department for
the construction. All of jackson
portion of the state
Farm to Market" road fund was
allocated at that time by the
board.
The remainder of the eounty's
allotment from the state
fund, together with a matching
sum from the highway depart
ment, will be used to construct
the Red Creek bridge and APP
proach bridges, a contract for
which will be let at a later date,
officials said.
The board members agreed to
use the county's funds for the
bridge construction with the I'M
derstanding that the highway de-
partment would surface the road.
upon completion of the bridges.
Road Approved
Mr.. Kornrumpf also informed
the board that the Hurley-Van
cleave road, through the Pasca-
goula River swamp and via Ora
hams Ferry. had been approved
by the Public Roads Admins
tration.
1t is slated to be constructed
at some future date when add
tional funds are made available
by the state and federal govern
ments.
Due to the economy-minded
Republican administration now
in power, it seemed highly I'M
that funds would be made
available in the near future, how
ever, the group agreed.

Rating Threatened
AS an indication of the need
Of more space, the city authori-
ties pointed out that the South
ern Association of Secondary
Schools has notified the board o.
trustees that three additional
teachers must be added to the
faculty of the Junior and Senior
High school in order to maintain
its present high rating. This will
necessitate the moving of three
the Central High school to give
elementary grades now housed in
room for these three additiopa
teachers and pupils.
The situation in the varioui
schools was described as follows:
In the Ed Mavo school there
are at present four class rooms
and the auditorium being usec
for a classroom. Toilet facilities
are inadequate. The cafeteria is
housed in two frame buildings be-
hind the main building Under
the new plan, two elassrooms,
toilet facilities and cafeteria will
be added.
In the Charlotte Hyatt Ele-
mentary school there are seven
classrooms, with the auditorium
also being used as a classroom
and three of the elementary
grades housed in the Central
high. The board of trustees has
recommended that three grade
rooms should be added to the
Charlotte Hyatt building and ca
feterial facilities provided. At
present make-shift cafeterial ia
cilities are established in the cor
ridors.
In the Magnolia Elementary
school for Negro children there
are at present six elassrooms and
the auditorium. which is used
for a classroom Three classes
are also located in a frame build
ing on the campus, which has
been condemned for school pur-
poses. There are no cafeteria fa-
cilities. Extra space will be pro.
vided.
Spokesman for the Separate
School District stated at the meet
ing that they were surprised by
the increase of enrolment which
continued after the war, when a
drop had been expected. Part
of this was attributed to new in
dustries and part to a general
growth of the national birthrate
