Utilities To Change Hands At 10 O'clock Saturday City Council to Accept Properties from Hands of Pres ident Crook in Special Meeting to be Held at Chamber of Commerce Rooms, Jan. 31 Saturday, January 31. 1 !? 2 5 . Is a date thai will mark a turning 1 point in "the history of Elizabeth ! City. For on that day at 10 o'clock in the morning at a spe cial meeting of tho City Council Mayor W. Den Goodwin for the City will receive from the hands of Howard E. Crook, president of tho affiliated utility corporations of Elizabeth City, papers effecting the transfer of these properties C from' the corporations now owning j them to the Corporation of Eliza beth City. Thus will Conn- to an end what has been 15 yearn or more of vain effort on the part ot Elizabeth City to obtain satisfactory service in the matter of electric lights, water and sewerage. Four years ago the city was on the verge of the purchase of these utilities and made the utility com panies, on the basis of an expert appraisal by an engineer employed by the city an offer of 1325.000 for the properties. It was generally believed at that time that the utilities would have accepted this offer, hut on the ground that the price offered was out of all reason an Injunc tion was sought restraining the city from paying such a price. The injunction, of course, was not needed when the, utility corpora tions rejected the 9325,000 offer; though the ImpreHslon prevailed, mistakenly or otherwise at that time, that had It not been for the threatened uuit the offer would have been accepted or a compro mise would have been effected. However, this was toward the close of a city administration and in the next municipal election a City Council was elected unalter ably opposed to compromise or to purchase of the utilities at a price In excess of 9250,000, because it was believed that though the util ity properties on a basis of re placement might be appraised at more than that figure, they m / would not be worth even as much I as 9250,000 as a nucleus for such ^ utility plants as were desired by the city. For the two years dur ing which that administration was In power there was a deadlock between the utility corporations and the city, the city refusing to pay more than 9250,000 for the properties and the utility corpora tions tying the hands of the city in the matter of constructing Its own utilities by injunction. In June, 1023, the present city administration came into power, and. for a time, carried on the fight begun by the preceding ad ministration. A few months ago, suddenly and at the ?very time when the last injunction sought by tho utility corporations had been dismissed by the Federal Court of Appeals the City Coun cil capitulated to the utility cor porations by offering to buy the utility properties at 9370,000, or only $5,000 less than the price asked. DRIVE FOR MEMBERS ON IN JUNIOR ORDER Though State Meeting Seven Months Off Work for lO.tMMI New Members In Full Sw log Durham, Jan. 29. ? With the Htate council meeting of the Jun ior Order approximately MV0O months off, the councils In all sec tions of the state are now engaged In the task of building up their membership in order that the .tSftoal for new members set for the Htate councilor. R. M. Oantt. might he attained during the pres ent fiscal year. Ten thousand new members for the present fiscal year Is tho task that Councilor Oantt has set for tha order In this state. Reports being received by him from many councils ovsr the state are to tho effect that great activity is being shown in adding to the member ship and present Indications make it apparent that the number of new members desired by the pres ent state councilor wilt be secured with some to spare. One of the cardinal principles of the order is the teaching of the Bible *nd patriotism to every boy end girl and Councilor Oantt Is emphaslng this as one of the things In which o very council and every Junior In the State should take an Interest. The presentation I of TMbles and flags to schools I throughout the Htate which do not have them Is alio belnt stressed as an Important feature of the work of the order. Numbers of flibles an-d flags have already been presented to schools In all sec tions of the state by the order but others still remain without them. The order Is doing much towards training the coming citizens of the state from the viewpoint of roll- 1 glon and patriotism. VAHi I'KMUft DK4 1.1 VK (Houston, Jan. 21. ? (Special) ?

A record of winning never before established by farm poultry from North Caro lina at the Madison Square Gard en Poultry Show in New York City last week, reports Allen G. Oliver. Poultry Extension Specialist for tin- State College of Agriculture. M.r. Oliver has Just returned to Raleigh from New York, where he attended this show, bringing with him four first ribbons, one third and one fifth ribbon. These rib bon* were made by representa tives of the Wyandotte, Leghorn and SUHsev breeds grown In Wake. Anson and Catawba counties. One first place went to Norris Jeffry of Wuke county with an entry of Sussex poultry. Catawba county won three first ribbons and the third and fifth places went to An son county. ?Mr. Oliver Btates that credit for the showing made by these club birds must be largely given to the county agents of the extension di vision who have worked with the young folks In developing good flocks of pure bred birds. The entries competed against the world and some of the best known fanciers of the country had their birds on exhibit. Over 5.700 birds were shown, states Mr. Oliv er. and more would have been en tered except for the fowl plague quarantine which prevented many shippers from sending their birds to New York. Mr. Oliver expressed himself as highly gratified at the fine show made by these club boys and girls, stating that the good work with poultry in this Slate is beginning to bear fruit.
