JUDGE SINK STOPS CITV FROM Bl ILI)iN(i PLANT IN YADKIN !SSI KS INJUNC TION AGAINST IIKiK in- DHO-FU.CTKIC UFYKLOP- S3KNT. Judge Sink say.s 11n Yadkin i > not a navigable s.i'.trn and t h.i• thireloff Higl: Point In.s n> ugiit to tut'.i a contract with th«. nde-ml power c-s>r:mii* • sion t-i l'Viinisii the money ti» ti nance the- huge .*»>.500,000 hydio clectiic development. The judge, whereupon, issues a lest raining order against lurthcr work on the Yadkin plant, on which S3OO - (00 already has been spent. Three hundred men are thrown out of work. Point >t will -I'pc.! to the State Supremo Ccuat, a:.d i! turned down there, will 'i.-k U:e I'. S. Supreme Court to del '-nine the matter. Nearly a year must elapse before this litigation c:n le tried, with the !~:::u i th.n thai Judge Sink's decisif.:i will be upht'd. In fin meantime, many people are wondering if the eity of HVJ: Point will tuin to Stokes coun ty's water powers to secure thru power developments. While the same reasons tin* scotch the Yadkin ievelopmi n* may militate against the con struction here, the investment on the Dan would mean probably one or two million dollars less than t!- > projected vast Yadkin outlay. Tluis revised financial ad justments might switch the big hydro-electric plant to Suikes. Sink also ruled that tli-' -.ity of I'cir.; !:;:| no righ* ur.;'- r t!:;• !;:w to condemn land owned by Yadkin founty for t !v. development. It is stated tli • Yadkin county home property would have been submerged hv the waters. His Honor proclaim ed that High Print could not i ■ this. This difficulty would be objiated in Stokes as no coun'y property would be involved. For the present time and for an indelinite time to come the big High Point-Yadkin river pro posed development is dead as i door nail. . s*' Hanes Knitters Beat Danbury Danbury lost to the Hams Knitters baseball team of Wins ton-Salem here at Riverside Park the 4th of July by thv? score of 11 to 5.
