2l7 Countiuns
Sign Applications
For Rural Phones

Two hundred and II rural
residents of Jackson county have
signed applications indicating
their desire to join a rural tele-
phone coop.
Count of the applications fol-
lowed a series of meetings held
in Jackson and adjoining counties
under direction of j. T. Dudley,
manager of the Singing River
Electric Power coop.
500 IN Three Counties
More than 600 applications
were received from Jackson,

Bayou Casotte and Forts Lake,
20. Hurley. 20: Pecan, Is;
Harleston. IL; Tanner Williams,
10. and Baria. 8.
we believe we can get an
other 600 to sign up from the
three counties and with that we
think we'll have enough to 60
ahead"
Going ahead" Mr.. Dudley
explsined means submitting a
preliminary application TO the
HEA. After that. the state legis-

not legally binding on those who
sign them.

Measures Taken
To Project Line
During Road Work

Measures TO protect the gas
lines serving Pascagoula and
Moss Point during repairs on
approaches to the Escatawpa
bridge on Highway 63 were dis
cussed at a meeting between city
and state highway officials We'd
nesday at Pascagoula city hall.
Two Lines Through
Two lines, one six-inch and
one eight-inch, carry gas through
this area, H. c. Ezell, Pascagoula
public works commissioner said,
n in use and one serving as an
auxiliary.
Three breaks have already
been caused in the two lines. he
said, but by shifting from one
line to another while breaks are
being repaired service has been
kept up.
The hydraulic fill has pushed
out the eight-inch line. said
Ezeil. We had a diver examine
the line Tuesday and found it
pulled up five or six feet from
the bottom of the river"
This allows the line to swing
with the current and is likely to
cause a break, he explained. Two
sections of pipe are under order
and these will be welded into the
line to allow it again to lie on
the river bottom, he said.
Line Is Threatened
"The six-inch line is threaten
ed by the shifting fill being
placed on the Escatawpa side of
the approach" he continued,
and if both lines should be brok-
en- Pascagoula and Moss Point
would be without gas. In addi-
ton to the inconvenience, il
would be costly to restore SER
vice"
We've got a bear by the tail
cut there" Alex Harris. chief en-
gineer for the highway depart
ment ssid." but we are determin-
ed TO fix these approaches per-
manentlY III way or the other"
He explained that It is neces-
sary to continue pumping sand
and piling in dirt fill until the
floating marsh is forced out from
under the roadbed.
I'VE hope to accomplish this
and eliminate the continued
sinking of the road" he added.
Agree To Cooperate
Following the discussion, high
way officials agreed to cooper
ate with the city until new sec
tions are welded into the eight
inch line. Gas will then be pump
ed through this line while high
way department equipment is
used to pull the other line to the
shoulder of the highway so that
hydraulic pumping can be con-
tinued.
Highway department officials
attending the meeting, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Harris. were George
W. Lemon, district engineer; E.
B. Cavallo, construction engin-
eer, and John Kuykepdall of the
attorney generals office.

Especial To Tho chronieleI

JackSOn-tAP1 Inc senate

bills to the floor today aimed at
hating quickie marriages in
Mississippi.
One measure calls for a five
day waiting period between APP
plication and granting of licen-
SEES.
Sen. c. c. Allen of Cockrum.

mated nearly half of the mar
riages in this state last year were

Finance members turned
thumbs down on doubling excise
