BROAD STREET JOB
. IS VERY UNSUITABLE
Town Board S««k» To Socuro
Bettor Paving—Work
Already Started
Work was begun Monday morning
on North Broad street by the R B.
Tyler company, plans being to
straighten, and broaden the street
from the square to the city limits
across Kings Creek. Labor for the
project is being furnished by the
local re-employment office.
Plans call for laying six feet of
crushed stone and bituminous surface
treatment on six feet alongside the
pavement now in use, making the
street 30 feet wide.
Effort has been made by the Town
of Brevard officials to have the
highway department rebuild the en
tire street for a distance of approxi
mately 2,500 feet instead of the side
work for 3,000 feet, but the highway
department states that the work is
being done with federal funds, and |
as the original plans submitted by |
the s tate to the bureau of federal j
roads called for the six foot stretch j
on each side of the present pavement,,
it cannot be changed.
The town took the matter up sev
eral weeks ago with the highway de
partment, setting forth the very evi
dent fact that the 18,-foot stretch of
pavement is in bad state of repair,
and requesting the 2,500-foot im- (
proved street.
Effort is being made by the town j
tci build a sidewalk to the Brevard |
College entrance, this to be donej
with local funds entirely.

War-Rate Will Be Set
At _ ^Cents In County
The new rate of pay for FERA
workers will probably go into effect
on January first, with various ad
ministrative units over the country
sending in their recommendations
that the rate to be paid under the
revised provision shall be the prevail
ing rate of pay] of the locality in
| volved.
' The Transylvania county rate-of
' pay committee has recommended a
basis scale of 20 cents an hour as
contrasted with the 30 cents an hour
that has been in effect.
While the rate of pay is to be
i reduced, the weekly wage will remain
the same. At present, FERA workers
are employed from six to 24 hours a
week, according to the number of
dependents.
When the new scale goes into
effect, the workers will be employed
for a greater number of hours, thus
preventing any reduction in the
weekly pay envelope.
The amount each worker receives
a week is determined by careful cal
culation <?f individual needs by the
welfare organization which keeps
files of those on relief.

years ago, was made secretary to the
mayor of his home city, and later
was nominated secretary of the civil
government mf Matanzas. From that
position he was promoted to the one
he now holds, that of governor of
Matanzas.
In a letter to frjenjls here he says,
“In this very nice position I am ‘Lo
renzd,’ just the same one who had
the satisfaction of being the mail boy
