BIG ADDITION IN
CITY IS PLANNED
Outlay Will Also Improve
Dorland-Bell at
Hot Springs. ,
The expenditure of many thou
sands of dollars In the Land of
the Sky upon additional buildings
for schools under the Jurisdiction
of the Woman's Board' of Home
Mission' ' of the Presbyterian
church, C. 3. A., is now definitely
pjy'l oi a. ouuuuiB jiiubiuiu ub
Nched la the near future, ac-
;ng to Information gained
tWfii Mrs. Fred S. Bennett, of
Kew York, head of the noara who
tlsjted in Asheville during the
past week.
The schools, immediately In this
ipction effected by the program are
Dorland-Bell at Hot Springs, and
the Asheville Normal and Associ
ated schools, of Buncombe county.
At the former the 1923-24 build
ing program contemplates the con
struction of an entirely new dor
mitory for boys, to take the place
of "The Wlllowa", located several
miles below the town of Hot
Springs, on the French Broad
rirr
P At the Farm achool. Swannanna.
the building; program contemplates
the erection of dormitory space ad
ditlonal so that between 60 and
70 boys can be added to the pres
ent enrollment. It is hoped to
put up one of these two dormitory
units by next year, the board pres
ident asserted. . Recent additions
e equipment at Farm 'school
other lines has made it pos-
e to Increase the student body
lit this manner, she pointed out.
With the purchase of 240 acres
of mountain land, known as the
Heiisley property, adjacent to the
Dixie highway below Hot Springs,
and situated at an elevation above
the "Willows" farm site, the con
struction of a modern dormitory
for boys with a capacity of about
60, is the plan under consideration
at Dorland-Bell. This would
mean the doubling of the enroll
ment of boys. . It would be likely
that the .farm would be retained
intact,' and the "Willows" be uti
lized as the farmer's residence.
, While the new 'tract lies at
some distance from the town, the
problem of transportation is made
easy by reason of the Dixie high
way passing the property. Trucks
could be used, Mrs. Bennett as
serted, to haul freight and sup
plies, and to bring the pupils to
town to attend Dorland-Bell.
At the Asheville Normal the Im
mediate building program calls
for the construction of a. central
heating plant In order to bring
ultimate economy and greater
aafety from fire. This plant, of
course, will be required by late
fall, as It must supply the- new
home school building now being
pushed to completion upon the
southern extremity of the campus.
Jrs. Bennett expressed much
ure at the way in which the
nal hospital Is taking ahaoe.
particularly at the fact that
awvnie contributions made this
much needed addition to the school
a possibility at this time. - -
While making known these plans
of the Woman's board, Mrs. Ben
nett was careful to point out that
they were naturally subject to the
action s of the general assembly as
it was concerned with the sug
gested plan of co-ordination of the
13 existing boards and agencies of
mat denomination.
The Rev. Dr. John Timothy
Stone, she said, has been appoint
ed chairman of a special commit
tee designated to study this con
eolldatlon project, regarding again
Jo the general assembly. It Is
'Ikely that considerable delay In
the actual alterations of the sev
eral boards will result, since even
after ratification it would be nec
essary to withdraw present ehar-
l ters and supply new ones for the
nn;I.y formed four great boards
I I Jested as follows: .-
Voara of foreign missions, board
cP ministerial relief, board of
national missions, board of Chris
tian education. The first would
be composed of 26 men and 15
women; the second also, of the
earns number of men and women;
the board of Christian education
would comprise 24 men and 12
omen, while the board of minis
terial, relief would . remain. as. at
Present constituted.
Mrs. Bennett Is sounding a
warning thrpugh- the national or
Kan of the woman's board calling
attention to the danger of "killing
'he goose that lays the golden
by the consolidation of the
wen's and women's boards, in that
it may result otherwise than was
Planned. ,
For the men's boaril receives
money for their work through the
regular plate contributions of the
churches, to which tile women

Novel Plan.
The plan adopted by The Citi-

reach thousands of new readers by

work tru.ioughly. In inaugurat'i: ,

h..s adepted a better plan i
quicker method and gives its
friends an opportunity to earn big
rewards during their spare time.
Tne Circulation Drive will mike

An especially attractive feature
of the Circulation Drive is that all

Brown Alleges Unreason
able Delay in Action on'
New Project.
SEEKING EXTENSION j
OF MARKET STREET
Paid $8,400 Benefits Over
. Eighteen Months Ago
-No Street Yet.
Alleging he has made repeated
demands for the opening up, con
struction and extension of Market
street and the project had been ar
bitrarily, unjustly and unreason
ably delayed, Charles W. Brown,
who saya more than 18 months ago
he paid $8,400 benefits assessed
against him filed complaint in the
Superior court Saturday against
Mayor Oallatln Roberts, Commis
sioner R. J. Sherrlll, of public
works, Commissioner R. L...Fltx
patrick, republic safety, the board
of city commissioners and the
City of Asheville. The plaintiff
seeks to have the court to issue a
writ of mandamus to the defen
dants, compelling them to con
struct the extension of Market
street - from Walnut to Woodfln.
Attorney R. R. Williams filed the
suit. .
The project has been under con
sideration by the board for a per
iod of almost two years and only
last week the board, said steps
would be taken to open the seet
with a uniform width of 60 feet
immediately.
In his complaint the plantlff says
that the defendants on May 17,,
1920 Instructed the city engineer
to prepare a map or plat, show
ing a sone of benefits and damages
therefor and that on about Octo
her 8, of the same year, W, H;
Bird, who had been appointed
special agent reported he was un
able to reach an agreement with
the property owners with refer
ence to securing a right of way
for the proposed extensn. Where
upon, it is stated, the defendant
Oallatln Roberts was authorized
and Instructed to issue a writ for
a jury to go upon the grounds
and condemn the land necessary
for the right of way. , 4 '
: On November, 19, 192(1, the '-re-
port of the Jury showing the bene-
fits and damages assessed on ac
count of the proposed widening
and extension of the thoroughfare
was presented to the board, the
complaint states. The land, ac
cording to the plantlff is now the
legal property of the defendants
and the street has been duly and
legally laid out and there Is no
legal obstacle to prevent the open
ing. The Jury nssessed benefits
against the plantXf amounting to
$18,400 and assessed damages to
the extent of $4,000. Shortly
after the acceptance of the re
port of the Jury, the defendants,
It Is claimed, collected the $8,400
from the plaintiff, representing
the excess of benefits assessed
against him above the damages.
On November 6, 1921, the de
fendants In regular session, pass
.on, passed the following resolution:-
..-
"It is ordered that the com
missioner of public works be au
thorized to proceed to open Mar
ket street as early ns possible."

FIRST SKIRMISH
IN BITTER BATTLE
Despite Elimination of
Gorgas Plant, Action
Victory for Ford.
WASHINGTON, June 3 Henry
Ford's proposal to develop the
government's vast power project
at -Muscle Shoals, Ark., was given
conditional approval by the house
vullMry (cminittee today and or
dered reported to the house with
a recommendation that It be ac
cepted in the form agreed to in
committee. The action was taken
by a vote of 12 to 9, In executive
session, ttrfd was interpreted by
committeemen generally as being
in effect but the preliminary skir
mish to w.hat promises to become
a bitterly contested battle between
the proponents and opponents of
the Ford offer in the house.
In arriving at Its final decision
the committee decided to elimi
nate from the properties covered
in the Ford offer the steam plant
at Gorgas, Ala., and agreed with
W B. Mayo and J. W. Worthlng
ton, representatives of the Detroit
manufacturer, upon new language
regulating the manufacture of fer
tilisers. In all other respects, the
Ford offer was fully approved.
Mr. Mayo declared when advis
ed of the committee action that
despite elimination of the Uorgas
plant he regarded the results an
nounced as a decisive victory for
Mr. Ford and that a more deter
mined effort than ever before now
would be made to obtain the prop
erties. To agree upon every de
tail Involved in the negotiations,
except one, was a distinct achieve
ment, Mr. Mayo added, particular
ly since the discussions had been
extended over so long a period of
time.
. Two other developments In con
gress affecting Muscle Shoal oc
curred while the committee was in
session. The house instructed its
conferees on the army appropria
tion bill to report back to it what
decision they reached" with the
Senate on the amendment providi
ng; $7,600,000 for continuation of
Work on, Wilson dam so that a
separale vote might be had.
V' tn ths senate agriculture com-
mlttee, Oscar C. Merrill, officer of
the federal power commission, tes
tified that the Muscle Shoals pro
jects should be completed and put
In. operation preferably by private
enterprise. If the government de
cided to operate th? properties,
Mr. Merrill .said, he believed the

Second Primary Held Likely
Lee Wins Over Avery, Early
Returns Show; Surprises Are
Many In Saturday 's Primary

( tROVK UlillSt l
RALkK.H. June S A majoiit
of from .V000 to 20.000 for Cor
poration Commissioner W. T. Lee
i-ver A. C Avery Is forcast on lite
lace of Incomplete returns on the
n ost surprising statewide primary
perhaps ever held in North Caro
lina.
Karlv returns pouring into
lialeigh 'rem eastern counties In
dicated e remarkable strength fo
the Moiganton man and the re
nomination of Mr. lee seemed a
matter of extreme doubt. With
the larger cities and the western
ciuntle reporting, however, tho
drill changed and at 11:15 o'clock
victory (' r Mr. Lee was apparent
ly n8urd
From many district and local
contests "ver the state come re
p.irts to Palelgh indicating a veri
table political revolution. The ap-pi-rent
defeat of Judge Cramner.
I iv the Wilmington district, by
Itohert O, flrady: the strong race,
with a od possibility of election,
of H. C Williams sgalnst Solicitor
Walter T. Bller; the possibility of

district A. M. 8iack's race ua.i.uei
Judge F.n ck In the t'nlon-Anson
di.'liict. and the apparent defeat of j
c;icltor Nash by Donald Phillips
li) the Rockingham district consti
tute a slrit g of political surprises,
when coupled with Mr. Avery's
rreat ditlay of strength in his
contest apnlnst Mr. Lee, that are
said never to have been equaled
In the nate. '
Woman's Vot Playing '
lint Small Part
At.d it cannot be attributed to
the wonen vote because it played
an 1 Insignificant part In the Va
rious contests. An unorganised
uprising Is seen by some political
observers here, while others attri
bute the closeness of the contests
to over confidence oil the part of
cmdldates general' expected to
overwhelm their opponents.
The ftalvlgh N'ews and Ohaerver
at 11 o'clock had returns, with the
figures very incomplete, from about
ft counties. In the corporation
commlaslonershlp corrtat, Mr. Lee
had carried 20. , , , -., w
i... The- larger cities went for Mr.
'e with the rural counties voting,
n many instances, for Mr. Avery.
Tne caueo of this was a puxzle that
had tu t been solved tonight, as
t.ie reunites ,wlth the bigger rural
populations ordinarily have not
had the association with the com
mission that the cities have.
Th Incompleteness of the re
turns ss received in Raleigh, and
the lack of figures In many cases,
mads impossible an early Indica
tion of an,y deflnlteness as to Mr,
le's majority. ' .
Abornelliy leading In
The Third Distrlcr.
The third district congressional
fight, lata repc ts followed he
earlier ones In indicating a lead for
Charles I Abernethy. . of . New
Bern, with Major Matt H. Allen,
f Ooldsboro, running second and
fl. H, Wllllims a close third.. A
second contest between Abernethy
and Allen seems certain.
