('If, ' .1 ll t*i i Mr. M. S. Davis, Engineer, who has been with the town oil its street and other projects, has furnished the Franklin Times, at its request, the following inform ation on the Cedar Street exten sion which will bo of interest to the taxpayers of Louisburg: In considering the value of any Improvement to a community it is necessary to take Into con sideration just what benefit the community would derive from the improvement, also the amount of money the community must in vest in the improvement. The extension of Cedar Street from the graded BChool grove to Halifax Road, as,at/ present con sidered, will mean about Vi mile of new street to the town. A large part of this would be ad mirably adopted to residence lots. Unofficial statements by en gineers connected with the High way Commission are to the effect that if this street is opened as proposed the state would throw their traffic on iti. This would mean that the entire length of Cedar Street from Franklin Street to the Halifax Road would be paved without! cost to the proper ty owners or to the town. It would mean also that instead of build ing a belt line around the town outside tire corporation line on which bouses would spring up. that these improvements would be made within the corporation line. If built within the corpora tion line as proposed, Va mile of newly paved Streets would be added to the town system, the maintenance of which. as we un derstand it, would be at the ex pense of the State Highway Com mission. Tile ouMay in money, on the part of the town, for this im provement would be confined to the following items: 1 Providing top soil from about two acres of ground like that formerly purchased for $35.00 per acre, ? together with the expense of trucks and gasoline for haul ing it. The town owns its trucks and the W. P. A. allows them $1.00 per hour for operating them. The engineering expense will be probably $100.00 to $150.t 00. The cost of right-of-way will probably not amount* t<^anythiDg The W.P.A. has already put cul verts on the Job. If bought by the town at a later .date, this item alone would be ^bout $500.00. The W.P.A. will furnish all labor and tools, cost' of which is hard to estimate at this time. Material for fills, where needed, will be taken front the rigbt-of-way at no cost to the town. In addition to furnishing labor and culvert pipe, we understand, there was set up in the original project by the W.P.A. 900 barrels of cement which would be used, if needed, on this part of Mie work and if not needed on this part of the work, it could be used for side walks, curbs and gutter on other streets in the town. These figures are goMen by direct inquiry from men who are in a position to know, so we be lieve that for the most part, at least, they may be taken as de Lift Up think Eyes IN the five generations lioce 1740, wa Americana have performed tha heroic task of clearing, pop* la ting, laawing, Industrializing and civilising a country kept ihaa England, Franca, Germany, Spain nod Italy pot together.

V I There re still aDolber acgilcto this proposition which Bhould . re ceive consideration. This prbject would mean the employment of a number of men, both white apd colored, when such employment will be badly needed. The wages of these men tutnfed loose with t<he business houses of Loulsburg will stimulate buflness for the next two or three months, while crops and marketing conditions are decidedly uncertain. ? HEALTH DEPARTMENT, ? ? ? ? Dr. R. P. Tar borough, ? t'ouuty Health Officer ? ? ? ??????? *? School will begin for tbe fall term in a short while. In 1938 tbe Health Department examined 6,115 school children and found 4,809 with one or more physical defects as follows* Defective tonsils, 2,219. . Defective teeth, 2,162. Teeth need cleaning, 1,332. Over weight, 338. Under weight, 1,870. Pediculosis, 90. Skin diseases, 21. Eyes bad, 157. A statement was given the teacher in each grade stating name of parent and defect found fin child, with request that the parent l>e notified and advising defect should be corrected. Parents, I wonder if you have, i as far as possible, bad these de fects corrected. If you have not | you have n6t been fair to your child. Children are not responsi ble for their physical condition. No child physically defective can do himself, his parents or teach er Just'ice. I.ive Today The wise man acknowledges i that it is most unwise lo try to live more than one day at a time. ...
