L WOULD COSTTHE Morrison is Unwilling to Call Lawmakers To gether Unless it is Im possible to Borrow. (Br MAX ABERNETHV) Raleigh, June 18. The public, that well-known company of North , Carolina tax payers, will be assess- j ed approximately $40,000 if there I is a special session of the legi.sla- 1 tine called to correct an error of i the 1921 session whereby the state ', municipal (inane? act was in- j validated. j 'Joventor Morrison having in- j 1 dirated his willingness" to call the I lawmakers into extraordinary ses sion provided it can be established that tiie well nigh bankrupt muni cipalities cannot borrow mone.v, the opinion is exoressed in divers circles of finance that the special session will be called.

Governor Morrison think that if they cannot legally make c contract for what money is needed ; tin only course is to call the leg' I lslators back to Raleigh. Th Council of State will meet early next week and will arrive at some decision as to this. j Should there be a forty thousand I dollar session of not more than ,20 I days it will be to correct an error of a four dollar per day clerk.

The appoint m . . rw . ment has not been announced by the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. And with the talk of a special sesison of the legislature and the State Board's delay in naming a successor to Roland F. Beasley there is the suggestion that the of- i(:ia tf nnmmiaeinnor nf mihlii wpT. fare will be abolished when the ilawmakers get in session. The 9021 regular session in January February came pretty near doing such and it took the combined strength of the "best" minds in both houses to save the depart ment. Having saved the position the commisisoner resigned to enter an other field of endeavor. Faur monthi have passed and a succes sor has not been named. It is ap parent that there Is no pressing need for the office. The legislators will not surprise anybody if they . abolish the entire department. Some dissatisfaction over where certain rtate highways are to be built under the fifty million dol lar good roads bill is heard at Ral eigh with the additional rumor that a bill proposing to force the Stat Highway Commission to re-route the roads will be laid before the legislators at the hpecial session, should it be called.

SALISBURY MAKES A NO FIRE RECORD - Salisbury's long run of a no fire record was broken this morning when an alarm was turned in from box 28, Main and Kerr streets, calling the department to a small house occupied by ne groes, in an alleyway off North Church street, between Cemetery and Franklin. A blaze had start ed on the roof and was extinguish ed with only a small damage, pro bably $25. It was 6:10 o'clock when the alarm was sounded. This was the first Are alarm since April 25th, at that time the firemen having been called to 813 South Jackson street, by an alarm from box No 74, and at which time only a small loss was entailed.

It is not recalled by those on duty at the first station that in the, past an entire month passed without an alarm, as was the case ia May. mm re OF NAVAL OFFICERS 0 trenuous training by reading novels camp.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER ON THE SWIMMING POOL iDr. C. W. Armstrong, the county health officer, has issued the fol lowing statement in regard to swimming tank: "Since a large number of people are using the swimming tank Ln Salisbury I am taking the liberty of calling your attention to some of the diseases contracted through swimming pools. It is of course well known that a swimming tank is nothing more than a common bath-tub. Some of the diseases con tracted in a swimming pool are in flammation of the Respiratory Tract, Intestional Infection, Con junctivitis, Inflammation of the Ears, Typhoid Fever, Skin Dis eases,, Venereal Diseases, and Di- arrht--Jnfection. The danger Games "iium i9weis-ana raining suits if not distinfected. We have at present no laws governing the sanitary regulations of the swim ming pools, but the management has been.' instructed to sterilize every towel and bathing suit after being used. He has also been in structed to use a sufficient amount of hypochlorite of lime in the water to insure sterilization. In order to do this he will have to use enough so that the water will cause a slight stinging sensation if it gets into the eyes. He has also been in structed to require of each male going into the pool a certificate from a physician stating that he has made a careful examination and certifying the person to be free J from skin diseases, running ears,! ulcers, Conjunctivitis, Venearel diseases, or any sign of inflamma tion of the Respiratory Tract. He also has been instructed that each bather must take a shower bath before entering the pool. I am sure that the manager of the swimming pool is anxious to do all that he can to make it a safe place and in sure perfect sanitation. Co-operation on the part of the public will be of great assistance to him and to the health department. I am un able personally to vouch for the safety of the pool at present but I think that if the above regulations are strictly carried out that there will be very little danger of infec tion."

The specific error was in figuring the mileage of the average tire that it would hun onlv fifMO mila when actiyil practice has provevd yuuu miles. This 50 per cent error means that 50 per cent more source of supply of raw materia has been developed than can be used. The same with purchases of raw material, and de velopment of manufacturing and distributing facilities. Also 50 per cent more tire were produced than couid be used in a reasonable time. Insiders say that the tire indus try will come back. It expects to restore itself and enjoy greater prosperity than ever -by getting some of the monev now g.wng into steel rails, trolley wires and power houses. They say, it costs $100,000 a mile to lay completely a mile of street car track and that this sum would buy a lot of tires.
