Volume 54. MAY RELOCATE PARTS OF ROAD Two New Surveys Have Been JNTiiile By Engineer Kanoy On Danbury-Walnut Cove High way—Would Effect Saving In Concrete. Engineer \V. . Kanoy has just made now surveys at two points on t'-.o Danbury-Walnut Cove road with i view to shortening the distance n::ti thus saving the State considet able money in the building of a run irete roa«l l>etween Danbury an.l V.'alnut 'ove. The new surveys have been submitted to the State and Federal authorities for their ap proval. The road is both a Stat" ii - .d Federal project One of the new surveys referred to is just on top of the hill south of Danbury and would shorten thi* roa 1 by a few hundred feet, in addition to eliminating two or more curves, which Mr. Kanoy considers danger ous. The other survey is between the Mas ten Mabe and J. 1. Blackburn places and here several hundred feet of concrete would be saved, probably than enough to offset the cost of a new grade. The original survey for the Dan bury-Walnut Cove road was nlade some two or three years since, and at that time it was not known that the road was to be paved, hence the importance of cutting short the dis tance was not so important as at this time, when contract has already been let for the paving of the road. Engineer Kanoy has recommended the adoption of the new surveys and it is reasonably certain that they will be accepted, since they will not only be of great benefit to the road but will effect considerable saving in the expense of paving the road. 1 Average For The Past j Week On Henderson Market $22.50 Henderson, Sept. 25.—Sales of to bacco on the Henderson markets for the past week, the first of the pres ent season, totalled 230,740 pounds 1 and brought $53,963.22, or an aver age of $22.50 per hundred pounds offi/ial figures, available today, show. Approximately two-thirds of the j week's break was counted in the of ferings on the first day last Tues day, when 151,702 pounds were sold, the remaining three days bringing in only 87,984 pounds, and with the average cut down by the very poor l quality of the offerings. The first week of this year com-' pares with an averajre 0 f $14.86 for' the first week of last year's market. I Durham Market Averaged 27 Cents Durham, Sept. 27.—Approximate- j ly 300,000 pounds of tobacco were, sold on the Durham market during | the four days of the opening week of the sales, the average price rang-, ing around 27 cents a pound. Sale 3 were light last week and ar ex pected to be again this week, due to the late crop which the farmers are busy finishing up, but heavier sales are expected next week. The prices of the bottom primings, about all that was offered for sale, are unusually good, growers expressing entire satisfaction with their re turns. New Road Shortens Distance To Meadows According to automobile speed ometers the distance between Dan bury and Meadows over the new road is ony 3 and 0 tenth miles, while the old road measures four and 2 tenth miles, making the new road six tenths of a mile shorter.
