| fire prevention work for 1926 resulted
in damage eLtiiriuted at $i.13
;.151.
These figures represent ar? mere,'.stover
the estimate of $875,407 of the
. y. .u* owing: to the larger
number of counties under the protective
system and to a worse tire year
The tabulation shows a total of
1,060 fires in the counties for 1026;
as against 1,062 in the lesser ntim.?er
of counties for 1925. However,
it is shown that the average firt inj
1926 caused only 9682.62 damage, j
while the average .(ire for the previous
year destroyed property vain-!
ed at $824.37, owing to the effect-j
ive work of the warden force.
Owing to the large area under supervision
and to the greater fire
hazards in 1026. it wa- necessary to
expend $23,254.42 in fire fighting,
costs, while in 1925 fire
activities represented expenditures;
of $11,347. These funds were furnished
in co-operation by the fed- 1
eral government, state and counties.;
Lands of all descriptions covered by
fire in 1026 amounted to 353,580
acres of which 1 11,325 acres were :n
oierchan able timber and 212,225!
n second gi'.nvtli and open lands.
A larpe percentage of the fires occurred
in the east, which reported
981 with 670 reported in the western
part of the state.
UP IN THE AIR
Charlotte, March 8.?Creation of a
new judicial district in North Carolina
set Frank A. Linney, of Boone. |
to i matching hi? head over law books;
today in an effort to determine j
whether he was still district attorney ,
of the Western. North Carolina dis-;
trict or an ex-district attorney.
Perusal of federal statutes reveale<l
that the permanent residence of
the district attorney must be in the]
district over which he has jurisdi<
lion and the permanent residence of!
Mrfl Linnev is at Boone, which was;
in Hie western district, hut which is j
now in the middle district.
Mr. I.inncy said rhe statutes pro-!
vide.that the office of district attorney
shal: lie deemed Vacant if the,
permanent residence of ;?,hc attorney,
is not within the district.
Therefore, the official was wondering
tonighi whether he was or is!
a district attorney.

I SEVENTH DISTRICT TO GET
SLICE Or HIGHWAY FUNDS
Definite ussurane.e that highway
wtl* be improved in the seventh district:
which includes Forsyth county
and a number of oilier counties in
the northwest was given yes if-id ay |
with the passage by the State Sen-|
ate of the ^10,01)0,000 road bill.
The seventh district gets a huge j
slice of this appropriation, a total
of upproxirca ely $3,000,000 being
alio J ted for roads in that ter-j
ritory represented by Commissioner'
Alex Hanes.
Mr. Hanes said last night no plans?
had been made for expenditure oft
funds in this district and that he I
did not know what projects would be j
taken care of with the funds derived
from the sale of bonds. The highway,
ennrsi ruction program will have to
be formulated later it was explained.
Contract for grading highway six-)
ty from the Yadkin county line to j
-o has already been award- ,
ed and thai road will probably be
hard-surfaced. The same highway,
from Wilkesboro ;o Boone across the .
mountains need- straightening and!
improving.
Highway sixty-five from Mocks-;
ville to the Iredell con*:t.y line would ,
be completed in this district with the,
construction of about oiglit miles!
between Winston-Salem and Statesvlllo.
Highway sixty-live is also incompleted
between Winston-Salem
and lleidsville hut no definite ulans'
have Been made for the location of!
this stretch known as the Belew.s;
Creek road. Only that part of the;
road in Forsyth county would be in-j
eluded in this district however.
Contract for grading Highway 601
from the Yadkin county line to j
Wilkesboro has already been award-1
cd, and that road probably will be!
hard surfaced. The same highway
from Wilkesboro to Boone across the!
mountains needs straightening and
Improving. . .
Another incompleted road included
in '.he seventh district is Highway!
i s from Wilkesboro to Lenoir, couitty
seat o f Cnlchv ell county, via Moravian
Falls. This would complete
