vention in Raleigh . ;
In compliance with a request of Mr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geologist and
secretary of the North Carolina Good
Roads Association, that he appoint

ty to the good roads convention to be
held in Raleigh; January 27th, Presi
dent J. A. Taylor, of the Chamber of
Commerce, yesterday named Chairman
Duncan McEachern and Mr. M. W7 Di
vine, of the Board of County Commis
sioners.' ' "" J'f-
Mr. Taylor could not have done bet.
tcr in his selection, for both of thos
namea ny-nim are gooa roaas enthusi
asts and more, they are building roads,
The meeting to which they have been
named as delegates is a most impor
tant one. It is called by the State
Geologist to discuss what can be done
to assist the various counties through
out the State in putting forth still grea
ter efforts for the construction of
good roads within their borders.. The
meeting will also take up the discus
sion of State aid to counties in the con
struction of good roads. State Geolo
gist Pratt says there are several ways
in which the State can assist the coun
ties in good road construction: .
"1. j By appropriations to the coun
ties for the actual construction of
roads; (2) by giving to the counties
engineering assistance in the location
and construction of public roads, and
in building bridges; and (3) by using
the State convicts in good road con
struction." These questions and oth
ers relating to good road work through
out the State will be discussed and se
riously considered by the, convention., ;,

held in the Chamber tomorrow at 12

cident occurred on Water, between
Princess and Cnesnut streets. Loftin
-was standing ou me siaewaiK near
the edge of the curbing when the cart
came ,oy at a jaer rapia rate oi
speed, one of the wheels knocking him
to the pavement where he was picked
up a few minutes later and hurried
to the hospital in the ambulance. Pa
trolman M. C. Huggins . was nearby
and placed Robert Stanley, colored.
believed to i have been the driver of
the cart, under arrest and put in a call
for the ambulance for the . wounded
man. It was stated yesterday after
noon that' Stanley is the same negro
tried before the Recorder several days
ago and fined. for fast driving of a coal
cart ',,
Another coal cart accident was nar
rowly averted at corner of Second and
riincess streets yesterday morning. A
prominent 4 ojtizen. was r coming down
the street in. a buggy and, behind him
was the coal cart The man in the
buxgy noticed the coal'1 tart bearing
down on him at a rapid gait and pull
ed up as near the curbing as he could,
The coal cart driver appeared not to
notice the vehicle ahead of him which
caused the man in the buggy to cal
to him In a voice that was heard for
nearly a block away. The driver
awakened to the situation barely in
time to prevent , collision with the
buggy. .;
The reckless driving of coal carts
has been a matter of serious concern
U : the police - and citizens generally
for some time. Several have been ar
rested, carried before the Recorder
and heavily fined, and this had a good
effect for: a day ox. two afterward. A
man whov ha8 made an investigation
stated yesterday, , that he did not
blame the officers of the coal company,
but rather the drivers. -He said that
from what he could, learn the drivers
were expected to make a delivery In a
certain length qf time, and that they
vould lose some 15 or 20 minutes or
rsore in gossiping on' the streets with
women and men and that in order to
get back on schedule .time would drive

BOARD OF AUDIT AND FINANCE.
i
Routine Matters Considered at Regu
lar Meeting Last Night.
The Board of Audit . and Finance
met last night in regular semi-month
l.v session with Chairman M. J. Heyer
presiding and Messrs; '.Wilder, Tien-
board, and Capt .D, Meares, the
clerk, in attendance. Although .. the
board was . in session' 'ior'" nearly an
hour there was little or no business of
importance for consideration and
members engaged themselves In ap
proval of bills and a discussion of
things in general.' ' - :
Mr. J. S. Barnes appeared before the
board and asked that the interest on
his taxes, amounting to something like
$30, be remitted. The matter was re
ferred to the Board of Aldermen , for
action, after which it may be taken
by the Board of Audit and Finance
Chairman Heyer , stated that - Mr.
Chas. W." Worth, chairman of the Wa
ter and Sewerage Commission, had
asked for a Joint meeting of . the
Board of Audit and Finance and the
Water and Sewerage Commission and
that at "a conference " Monday they
agreed to hold the joint 'meeting last
night Yesterday morning he was In
formed that it would not be conven
ient for members, of the1 commission
to attend a ioint meetine last night
Mr. Heyer then suggested to the com
mission that the joint meeting be held
at the time of the next regular meet
ing of the Board of Audit and Finance,
but was informed that the commission
desired a meeting at an earlier date
Mr.Heyer inquired of the members
of his board what was their pleasure
relative to calling a meeting to suit
the convenience of the commission.
The matter was discussed at some
length, finally, being passed over with
out any action. :
A bill from the Tidewater Power
Company for $525. as half of the ex
pense for. installing the additional
Tungsten , arches recently ordered by
the city was not approved by the
board on the ground that no appropriation-had
been made for the installs
tion of the archest Messrs -Tiencken
and Cooper : took the position that the
$1,200 recently appropriated was for
maintenance of the lights and did not
include installation, while - Chairman
Heyer held a.' contrary view. The bill
was referred to the Board : of Alder-
men. .;. ; : -.- -. " ' ' -.
The meeting adjourned at 9 o'clock.
