The board of commissioners bought
outright, fifteen feet of Mam street
property, and took an option on an
additional twenty-five feet. The prop
erty adjoins the LeFaine Hotel.. Ten
tative plans are to widen the street
tha( runs to the 'back of the court
house, and to convert the lot into a
park spiiee for cars used by those'
having business in the court house.
The lot faees forty feet on Main
street. The deal was made by T, H.
Medford, owner of the property.
The 'commissioners paid $l,K00.for
the fifteen feet, and the option calls
for $1,800 for the additional twenty
five feet.
It is understood that work on wid
ening the street., or a parking lot, will
not get underway soon.
The. general .intention of the board,
it was said, seemed to be (hat the
option would be exercised with an
appropriation in next year's budget.

the former llaywnod .sheriff
shook his head, and said: ."There ain't

bill brought up in a special session
is killed before it is read through."
Mr. Cabfi was elected it) November,

to the ..legislature; A 'special .session in
the fall of. llt.'lO, and the regular .ses
sion in January of 10.'!7 and this
special session, which will decide;
whether or not the state will put up
funds to assure getting some PWA
'project.' The PWA sets out that 45
per cent of a project be paid by the
sponsor anil lifty-tive by PWA. The
work under consideration would be
buildings and improvements to state
institutions.
Tentative plans call for about $11,
(100,000 in improvements-. -Of this, the
state would put up about five million
and PWA about six million. The
state treasury can now stand the is
suance of bonds up to six millions, it
has been pointed out.
Mr. ... Cabe is of the opinion that the
special session will adjourn by noon
Saturday, after convening at noon
Monday.
"When I left Raleigh and the leg
islature after the regular session in
the winter of l!l.'i7, I never expected
to see the boys again, but it looks
like the federal government makes
most all of us change our minds, and
way of doing things."
As nepresentative Cabe recalled
incidents of the session, he talked of
the closing hours when his liquor bill
was passed after a strenuous fight.
When asked how he would like to go
through with a similar 'experience, he
said: "Man, its too hot for things
like that now."
And once again, Haywood's rep-;
resentative showed signs of concern,
as he thought of spending a week of
August in Raleigh.
