City Manager Bray reminded the City Council that there were several streets and sidewalks that had Ibeen ordered payed and suggested th? is suance of $30,000 In bonds In order that the city might be able to take care of its present needs *? ?JT**1 and sidewalk paying. The City Man ager stated that with the Issuance of bonds the city could advertise for bids and save a considerable aum by awarding a contract to one firm to do practically all of this paving. Realizing that the city is now pay ing interest on a floating Indebted ness of about $36,000, Councilman Veatherly made a motion for the U suance of bonds not to exceed $>5. 000 to cover both the Indebtedness and the city's present paving needs. I This motion was passed and the City Attorney will submit a form for the bond Issue to the Council for approv al at a subsequent meeting. Dr. John Sallba had previously ap peared before the board and asked that Riverside Drive be paved all the way to the hospital. His request was Immediately granted and It Is consid ered probable that this will be the first of the streets paved under the present plans. Riverside Drive was not paved all the way to the hospital originally because at the time this street was paved the hospital was be yond the city limits. The city limits now include the hospital grounds and the matter of paving this seg ment of the street was up to the C "a" motion sponsored by Council man Ferebee was also passed auth orizing the City Manager to repair all streets In the city that are now P The decision of the Council to pro ceed with the paving and repairing of the city streets and sidewalks dlcates that they do not expect am .Immediate settlement with the util ities companies and will with paving In spite of the long standing litigation.

CONFEDERATE VETS FLOCK TO MEMPHIS Memphis, June 3.?Thousands of Confederals veterans and allied or- ? ganlzations poured Into this flag be decked city today for the opening to morrow of their 34th annual reun ion. Special trains were arriving almost j hourly and with them the cycle of events for the week began revolving. I The first event was a double trib ute this afternoon when the reunion hosts united in memorial services to the Confederate dead and In celebra tion of Jefferson Davis's birthday. TAX BILL IS LAW Washington, June 3.?President , Coolidge late yesterday signed the tax bill passed by the present Con 1 gross after Issuing a statement de : daring it poor legislation and de claring that he will urge the next Congress to pass a bill more free | from political Influences. Burton Leading Brookhurt Des Moines, June 3.?Governor Burton Sweet Is leading Senator Brookhart for the Republican nom ination for Senator, according to re turns compiled early today. Drivers generally speaking do not in tend to disturb the religious services ?they often blow their horns un consciously and only ne^d to be re minded occasionally of the distur bance and detraction they are caus ing inside the church building. If automobile owners will drive slowly and carefully near the church there will be no necessity of much tooting of horns." "It takes more than an automobile horn to disturb me during a church service" Councilman Weatherly re marked. "I guess so when you are asleep," replied Councilman Gordon. Horseback riding, growing in pop ularity here, is said to be a greater nuisance than the noise made by au tomobiles. As Sunday horseback riding is purely a sport it Is believed that those who choose to enjoy their favorite pastime during religious services can make It entirely conven ient not to pass the church in a trot or gallop. SON IS HELD FOK MIRDEK OF FATHER Spartanburg. S. C.. June 3.?Clar-, ence Blalock is held for murder here as a*result of the death of his I father from injuries inflicted by the son in a quarrel.

CANAL PURCHASE IS ALMOST SURE Ami Congressman Ward, While Admitting Momen tary Defeat, Thinks Fayor able Action in Sight, j Though the Rivers and Harbors Bill, embodying a provision for( Government purchase of the Dismal Swamp Canal will hardly pass at this session of Congress. Congress-' man Hallet S. Ward feels that there! is no reason for discouragement and jthat Government ownership of the ! Dismal Swamp Canal is now really I In sight, according to a letter from Mr. Ward to Secretary Job of the Elizabeth City Chamber of Com merce. i "Our district." says Mr. Ward, "af 1 ter explaining how action on the bill ! was blocked at this session by thej attitude of the New York and Call i fornia delegations in Congress, "is not a material loser, I think except J that the preliminary surveys, like that of Knobbs Creek, will suffer some delay; but as in most instances in the affairs of this life, there is some consolation and possibly advan i tage in all of our difficulties. The attention of the contestants over the bill seems to me to have their at | tention taken entirely away from our favorite project, tho Dismal i Swamp Canal, and centered on other ! things, so that to my mind the psy chology of it is that we have the best reasons to think that we will peace ably pass along through the storm while it rages around larger centers. If tho bill was passed today without our project in it. there w-uld he no allocation to close up the Dlsina! Swamp transaction earlier than a j year from now, and oven then the | Canal Company could If it saw fit, delay the acceptance of the option. ! In the confusion of the whole situa tion I am not the least disturbed, las I feel there Is no reason to se I riously doubt that are in sight of a Government Canal through the Dismal Swamp, from which commun ity and all Eastern North Carolina , will ronp a very substantial benefit, j I sincerely thank you for your pa I tlent, persistent and valuable assis tance to this great project."
