GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1922 3 Borough Plan For the Mills Suggested To the Committee P 7- - f J Creation of Two Districts, One of City, and One of Mill Areas, , Under Consideration But Nothing Final Has Been Done. C. A. Hines Tells Lions Club of the Details. ' Voicing his understanding that "ths chief owners of property". In ths Proximity, Whits Oak and Hevolu lon mill villages rsallts . that eu- , larg-ement of Greensboro's corporate i boundaries to such an extent as to Include those-Tillages In the official limits of.thla elty is "Inevitable, soan cr or later," Charles A. Hines yester- V day presented much pertinent Infor ", matlon renardlns; elty extension to the Lions' club. He devoted chief at , tentlon to the borough plan. Mr. Hines, , who was the chief : speaker -at the regular luncheon meet ing of the Lions, made It clear that although he Is a member 6f the cham- , ber of eommsrea eommlttee now studying the extension problem, he was not discussing the matter In an , 'official sense. He also carefully ' pointed out that he was making no '; reoommendatlons. On ths other hand ' he emphasised the open-mlndedness ' of the committee and, he hoped, of the cltlsenahip generally. First the spsaker presented some facts regarding the present municipal . area of four square miles Roughly, ha calculated the population at 25.000. By a few mathematical motions he ' concluded that the corporate limits might be extended In such a way that dreonsboro would have 40,000 Inhabi fy Only f Lew Than 65c a Pound rv.

In Proximity, White Oak and Revolution are from 10.000 to li,000, he estimated; lis referred to well pop ulated sections In other directions outside the present municipal area, mentioning particularly Spring Oar den street extension and Asheboro street extension. " ' Mr. Hines doubted the wisdom of a plan contemplating the Inclusion of Pomona and Bessemer, feeling .that such aotlon would probably provide unduly large .limits. However, he was nrft unmindful of the fact that If that plan were adopted those sec tions could be more systematically developed under municipal regula tion. '. What can the city of Greensboro offer ths people of the Proximity, White Oak and Revolution villages In addition to the advantages already enjoyed there? Thatas a question which had frequently Been propound ed, the 'speaker declared. He pointed out that those sections already have water, lights, sewerage, schools, po lice protection, community buildings and other facilities ordinarily sup posed to be the special privileges of nlcorporated communities. Which plan, then, weuld be most equitable? Re then entered Into a discussion of the borough plan. It had been aug- Our solicitation of your business ;s based on the service we are prepared to render you. We introduced to Greensboro the Christmas Savings Club that was a service to the community. If you are not enjoying the ad vantage of our Christmas Sav ings Club let us urge you to Come in and let us explain it to you. You are always welcome here. GREENSBORO BANK and Trust Company i Really a Friendly Institution. geated to the committee, lie said, that two municipal districts ho created. They would be known as District No. 1 and District No. 2. The first district would embrace all the present munici pal area and In addition some other territory,. District No. 2 would be composed of Proximity, White Oak and Hevoultlon, together with some other sections. In the first district the full tax rate would be effective and there would be reasonable expectation of full urban privileges. The second district, however, would not depend upon the city of Greensboro for cer tain advantages commonly enjoyed in the central area, nor would the taxes in that section be as great. There might be a disparity of 75 cents or more In the tax rate and an equal difference in public improvements to be financed from th city's money chest. In bonded obligations there would be a marked difference, for ex ample. Mr, Hines Indicated that the com mittee had received Information to the effect that to such an arrange ment the people of the three mill villages, including the principal owners of the property, would prob ably "graciously accede." Ho did not intend to convey the Impression that other plans would necessarily be un graciously received, but the borough Idea might be found "equitable" and generally satisfactory, It was thought. Of course, many details would re main for determination If such a plan were Jo find general favor, Mr. Hlnrs add!. For Instance, there is the question of representation. Would the central district have five coun cllmen and the other district two? Such details, he thought, would prob ably reveal no Insurmountable ob stacles If an agreement on genera lines' were reached. Finally the speaker expressed th hope that the matter could be set tled amicably without the necessity of a popular election. The people will determine the question; If they can harmonize the various Interests and Ideas the thing may be put Into execution by means of legislative enactment, although if a considerable difference of opinion should develop the aid of the ballot doubtless would be Invoked. Mr, Hines was of the opinion that appointment of committees In the clvlo clubs hero would be of value m the discovery of a solution of the question. Those committees would be charged with the duty of definite investigation activities and through co-ordlnative processes might arrive at a generally satisfactory settle mnl r.rt.lnlv nt nll .... should give serious consideration to the question, the vital nature of which Is not to be gainsaid. ,In presenting Mr. Hines to the club, Lion Joe Franks, who presided, recalled Clem Wright's naive remark that "Greensboro has the tallest building In North Carolina and Is the smallest . town In Guilford county." With a tangible demonstration of the holiday spirit those nresent con trlbuted $61.60 toward Christmas cheer for needy people of the city, after President Samuel H. Hodgin called attention to the opportunity and Lion J. W. Money enthusias tically referred to the wonders which would be accomplished with the money under. the direction of Mrs Blanche Carr Sterns, county super intendent of public welfare. Lion Garland Clary talked Inter estingly of storage batteries In gen eral and the Wlllard. his own line, in particular. He gave an .impres sive demonstration with a l.attery which he took to the Woman's club building, where the luncheqn was servea. President Hodgln announced that arrangements are being perfected for a lecture to be delivered in Greens boro on January 22 by . Sir Basil Thompson, leading criminologist, under the auspices of the Rotary, Kiwanls and Ctvltan clubs. In addition to Mr. Hines. attorney. the club entertained as special guests w. M. Kidenhour, secretary and as slstant treasurer of the Greensboro Bank and Trust company; C. K. Fleming, assistant cashier of the At lantic Bank and Trust company, and A. C. Goodwin, assistant purchasing agent or the Proximity Manufactur ing company. Would Admit Laborers In -Spite of the Present Law Washington, Dee. 10. Peclarlng that a shortage of labor exists In the agricultural and metalliferous mining Industries, Senator Ranadell, Democrat, Louisiana, today Introduced a resolution for appointment of a senate committee to study possible amendment ol the Immigration re striction act so as to make possible the selective admission of Immigrants without disturbing ths percentage quotas now In effect. The committee, which would con sist of three members of the senate Immigration committee and which would be required to report by January 1, 1924, would be required specifically "to Investigate Immigra tion problems In the United States. particularly wfth a view to relieving labor shortage In the United States by selecting as the Immigrants ad missible under the present peoentags system ofv admission those who are best suited for employmeat In the fields of Industry In which any short age of labor exists." GOV. REILY SAYS HE DIDN'T MAKE ATTACK . Porto Rican Executive) Then Tells His Position on Removal of Officers tn Island. New York, Dec. 20. Governor K. Mont lteiiy, of Porto Rico, stated to day to the Associated Press that the statements sent out from New York that he had criticised any individual or pajlticul party In or out of Porto i Klco were entirely incorrect.- He added; "I have never given an Interview in Porto lllco nor- In the states per taining to Porto Klcan affair where I have criticised any citlxen of Porto Klco or any political party. "1 desire to say In reply to the statement made by a Porto Rlcan citizen that a Kvtnd Jury had made a presentment against me that not only by the lower court but by unanimous vote of the Supreme court I was fully exonerated. "As to the statement made from Washington by a Porto Rican that no other officials had been criticized by a grand Jury,', I desire to say that Mr. Jose E. Benedicto, Insular treas urer, whom I removed from office, and six of his deputies were Indicted by the federal grand Jury soon after I removed him from office. On ac count of the removal of the treasurer, Benedicto. this last attack; was made on me. Appointing Mr. Bejvedlcto't successor, I appointed Mr. Ramon Aboy, Jr., one of the leading union ists and business men of the Island. At. the same time, I appointed a new secretary of state who was also a prominent unionist. Since t have been on the island I have made 176 appointments, of which 111 were unionist. 50 republicans and 14 so cialists.. When the legislature met last February, I sent to the senate nominations of 38 unionists, seven republicans and two socialists. I think I have been more than fair lo the unionists and the only reasonable complaint might be from the repub licans and socialists." TEST SANITY OF ALL RECKLESS CHAUFFEURS Thre of Those Examined at De troit Prove to Be of Inferior Intelligence. Detroit, Dec. 20. Twenty-one per sons charged with driving their auto mobiles faster than the law allows, and two others charged with driving through safety tones were examined by Dr. A. L. Jacoby, city psychiatrist, today to determine their Sanity. The examinations were ordered by Dr Charles L. Bartlett, In recorder's court, and sentences were withheld until the court had received the psy chiatrist's report. Three of those examined were pronounced Inferior In intelligence by Dr. Jacoby. They were ordered to return In one week for further examination. According to the physician'! report, one' man charged with having driven his car 32 miles an hour, was found inferior In Intelligence, hard of hear ing and possessed of poor eye-sight. Another alleged speeder was unable to read English and told Dr. Jacoby he could not differentiate between intersections. Fourteen persons who were pro nounced mentally sound were given jail sentences and fined. The sent ences were mostly for one or two days. Mr. Bartlett said he had no Inten tion of Intimidating the public or make It apnear that there are many mentally d lclent i persons driving automobiles, but that It was desirable for the sake of public safety to weed gut .these whoare mentally, incom petent and give them treatment. If necessary, rather than (end them to Jail. CHRISTMAS MAIL IS HANDLED BY SYSTEM Method of Handling Holiday Rush at Postofflce Continues to Function. The system for handling the holi day rush at the postofflce continued to function satisfactorily Wednesday, although the lines of persons In waiting about the windows In the lobby with Christmas packages to be mailed continued to lengthen, i Windows In the lobby at the post office have been marked with Placards to Indicate the nature of business to be transacted at each I place, and aisles have been roped off In order to avoid congestion. Post master R. C. Chandler Is highly pleasedl with the manner In which the purnlc Is co-operating with ths postofflce In handling the Christmas mall. Patrons of the postofflce have made favorable comment upon the expeditious manner In which holiday malls are 'being handled. Persons who recall the "chow lines" of army days, when long files of sol diers stood In line waiting In turn for rations, clothes or pay, may see somewhat similar soenes enacted each day at the postofflce by patrons lin ing up for service at the various win dows In the lobby f the building.' Men, women and chllren, some loaded down with bulk packages plastered with Christmas seals, others waiting to buy stamps' or money orders, each day stand In Una awaiting their turn. The contrast between this system and the "every man. for himself" method. ! still- prevalent In many public build ings, Is striking.
