Wright Memorial Bridge and declar ing all negotiations to be at an end. While it did not include in the re solution any directions to proceed with the construction of a new bridge this is expected to be the next step. For more than a year the State Highway and Public Works Commis sion has been willing to pay the own ers of the Wright Memorial Bridge $125,000 for the bridge which it has operated as a toll bridge ever since it was built by a private company sev eral years ago. The company owning the bridge has continued to reject this offer and to hold out for a price of $215,000 for the (bridge. An ap praisal of the value of the bridge as made by l engineers of the U. S. Bu_ reau of Public Roads recently fixed the present value of the bridge at only $96,000. The bridge, built for light traffic only, and when new capable of carry ing vehicles'with a load of not more than six tons, is now conceded to be ! in very bad repair. Highway com mission engineers maintain that it would cost the commission at least SIOO,OOO to repair the bridge ana make it safe for even light vehicular traffic > since hundreds of the pilings nave rotted away, as well as sills and floorings. Ami then after spending slou.ooo robui'ding the bridge it still would not be able to carry traffic of nice than six tons, while all of the modern bridges built by the highway commission are built to carry traffic of fifteen tons. “In my opinion it would be a waste of money to pay anything for the pre sent Wright Memorial Bridge since it is both inadequate and nearly worn out,” said Charles Ross, counsel for the State Highway Commission. "I am convinced that the highway de partment can .build an entirely new bridge for less than it can Duy this old bridge,- repair it and maintain it.” Chairman Capus M. Waynick, of the commission, indicated that the next step by the commission would be to authorize the construction of a new bridge, although he did not say when this would be done. The permit for the construction of the new bridge has already been obtained from the War Department and the surveys have been made so that the commis sion can cell for ibids-and let the con tract at any time it may decide. The new bridge and the new highway con nections leading to and from it will cost about $500,000, according to un official estimates. The bridge, if con structed, will be of 15 tons capacity Rules Sea Queen Rene Pugnet (above) helped super vise construction of world’s largest liner, the Normandie, and will com mand the great ship on her maiden voyage iroxa France to New York. (Central Press) ' HENDERSON, TN. CJ DAILY DISPATCH,' TUESDAY, MAY 14,1935 instead of only six /tons capacity and will have a much longer life than the Wright Memorial bridge. It will be of the same type of construction as the Chowan River Bridge near Edenton, across the Chowan river. If it is definitely decided to build this new bridge and all intention or hope of buying the Wright Memorial Bridge is abandoned, it is that an effort will be made to get it included in the State’s Federal Aid road and bridge construction program and that all or part of the cost of its construction will be paid for out of Federal funds. It will no* be possible to use any Federal aid road funds either in the purchase or rebuilding of the Wright Memorial bridge, so that this cost would have to come entirely from State funds. Even then it is contended that the bridge would be inadequate and likely to become a liability instead of an asset. But if the new bridge can be built, it can be made adequate for present needs and loads, be properly built for long service so that maintenance costs will be kept to a minimum. At attempt was made to get a bill through the assembly to re quir the highway commission to sub mit the question of the purchase of the Wright Memorial bridge to arbi tration, but the bill never got out of committee. As a result, this action is regarded as equal to legislative ap. proval of what the commission has done. 1884—Wall Street panic followed by failure of many banks. rfSTORMY LOVSt) \Jra / A YOUNG NAVY MAN'S J/bELLE BURNS CROMER CHAPTER 12 READ THIS FIRST; After bidding goodby in a huff to his childhood sweetheart, Janice Ed ding, who is sailing for the United States where her father, Captain Ed ding, has been assigned to Puget Sound Navy Yard, carefree Lieuten ant Valentine Preston, attached to a gunboat in China, sees an attractive girl in a passing ricksha on the streets of Shanghai. He recognizes her as the same girl who had de luged his visit to Janice’s liner in the harbor bg taking the last sampan in sight from the pier. Following in another ricksha, both alight at the same hotel. They become engaged in conversation, have a cocktail to gether and Val learns she is from South Carolina. Later he excuses himself and goes to the bar alone. Finding the girl still in the cocktail lounge alone, Val joins her again and discovers her name is Lia Garenne. She says she is lonely and they agree to take dinner together later. As he dresses Val is irked by the thought that Kent Townley, an other naval lieutenant, whom he dis likes, is sailing on the same liner With Janice. Meeting Lia, dressed for the evening, in the lobby, he is impressed with her loveliness. After dinner and dancing at a night club. Val and Lia go for a drive in the moonlight. Then she tells him something about herself. Lia ex plains her father, a well known ex plorer, is in the Gobi desert and that her aunt, with whom she has lived, is in Peiping. Her aunt's companion, staying with Lia in Shanghai, is ill. When Val offers to show Lia some thing of Shanghai in the next few days, she suddenly kisses him. Annoyed, Val orders the chauffeur to drive back to the city. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 12 ON THE morning after his meet ing with Lia Garenne, Val —expect- ing enthusiastic approval of his dis covery—invited Sue Norris and Laure Montrose to luncheon, but when he proudly presented the stranger, he was annoyed to find his friends unsusceptible to her charm. Laure, however, did her duty and in vited ‘them to a dinner she was. giv ing ' that evening.' Blit there again, it irritated Val to note that while the other guests were polite enough to Miss Garenne, there was an under lying coolness. His pride rose to arms at this atti tude of the people he called his friends. He was sponsoring this lovely youngster and if a lot of navy wives wanted to be envious because she was infinitely prettier and sweeter than they, he would see that the girl was looked after and had a good time without their help. Where upon he devoted the remainder of his leave to her entertainment, and in the three days that followed he spent every possible moment ashore with her. And then, less than a week after their meeting, when they sat in a secluded corner of the French club and smiled over their tea cups ihto each other's eyes, one: of Val’s ship mates stopped by their table. The feds, he informed Val, were again Causing trouble on the Yangtze. .The Panay had orders to return to Han kow as soon as some minor repairs w ere made. When the man .bad passed on, Val sat nervously smoking his cigaret. He was going to miss the girl sitting so quietly across from him. How pleasant these past days to know that someone waited eagerly for his corning ashore. It was a grand sen sation to be with one who thought him wise and wonderful even though he knew he was not. “Going to miss me, Lia?” he asked softly. He was startled to see her lustrous eyes swimming with tears. Two crystal drops gathered on the star points of her lashes and hung there. “Lia, honey,” he remonstrated, “you’re not crying?” The tears rolled along her smooth cheeks and she brought an absurd handkerchief out of her purse to wipe them away C “I just don’t know what I shall do when you go away,” she whispered brokenly. Her eyes were tragic. “This is the first time In my whole life I have evab been happy. It will be harder now that I understand what happiness can he like. You Jaave been mq kind ana so —so deah, Val. I shall want to Jfeiil liSt ' Court Injunction to Stop Election on Liquor Likely (Contii.aed from Page One.) is regarded as likely that the liquor control question may come up and an effort be made to get the liquor stores and liquor control on a Statewide in stead of a countywide basis. But, for the time being, the powers that be here are planning to sit tight and ob serve the wet-and-dry battles in the counties from the side lines. The prevailing opinion in State of ficial circles, however, is still that the legislature finally enacted the worst of a half dozen different liquor plans which it considered, but that it did so because the drys would not agree to any of the better plans. Most of those in official circles are also convinced that if the State is to have any liquor stores at all they snould be under State control and should be State stores, rather than be county stores under county control. They agree that the county liquor stores system is be sought with many dangers and that this system may make it very diffi cult, if not impossible, to bring about a State stores and control system later on. From a political .-standpoint, how ever, the county stores system is re garded as preferable, since none of the State officials or any of the mem bers of the General Assembly can be charged with halving tampered with the Statewide prohibition law or with having put in a Statewide liquor store tft •VW ,f®?C The handkerchief was inadequate to staunch her tears and she put her head against the back of her chair and let them flow at will. He could not bear that he should cause her to weep. It was like hurt ing a child. He leaned across the table to catch her hands in his. Plow small and helpless they were. She was such a precious, fragile little thing. A great welling tenderness flooded his heart. Poor little wistful girl, going back to a lonely garden With a woman who hated her. How could he let this happen to Lia? “Darling,” he murmured, “do you really care? Do I mean anything IQ you at all?’* • | Small, .hot fingers clutched his. “Oh, Val, don’t leave me,” she whim pered. “I can’t beah it.” He wanted to hold her close in his arms, to protect her from every sor row. He wanted to make her the happiest, laughing girl in the whole world. He wanted her to belong to him forever. He must sail within three days, possibly sooner. With his small inheritance from his father surely he was in a position to marry a girl whose demands were within reason. Marriage was a gamble any way. His eyes were dark, his heart thudding in slow heavy beats. He was in love with her. In love with Lia! He couldn’t leave her here for some more fortunate man to win. “Darling,” he said, his voice: deep with emotion, “I think I’ve been Crazy about you from the first mo ment I laid eyes on you. You stole a sampan—and then you stole my heart. I love.you so much I shall die if I don't take you out of here where I can tell you properly. .Let’s hop in a taxi and go wire Aunt'Julia Lee we’re getting married before I sail.” Her smile was radiant through her tears. “Oh Val!” she breathed, an excited little catch in her voice, “let’s!” • • • Aunt Julia Lee Garenne took the news of their approaching marriage badly. She replied with peremptory orders to postpone their plans until the return of Lia’s father from the Gobi. She also stated she was com ing at once to Shanghai. On that day. however, a bandit force seized a strip of railroad near Peiping and Miss Garenne’s train was turned back to the city. And since the Panay would be ready to sail in two days’ time, Lia telegraphed her aunt the defiant word that their wedding was taking place immediately. On a golden afternoon with a fall crispness in the air, they were mar ried by special permission of the C. in C. aboard the flagship of the Asiatic fleet. Busy gigs plied back and forth v/ith the wedding guests who were all of Val’s fellow officers in uniform frock coats and cocked bats, and their wives charmingly at tired in tbs latest French creations .Chinese Xur «flggs system. Some of the counties —18 in, number —have merely invoked the custom that is as old as the State it self, of being- permitted to exempt themselves from a law they did not want to be under. So if the ex empting these 17 1.2 counties from the State prohibition law are unconsti tutional, than about 90 per cent of the other laws passed by this and previous sessions of the General As sembly are also unconstotutional, it is agreed here. If the drys want to prevent any of these elections front being held or prevent the establishment of any of the proposed county liquor stores, they have recourse to the courts and can get out an injunction to prevent the holding of any election, it was pointed out here today. Some obser vers think it likely that as soon as the first county calls an election and sets a date that an injunction will be issued and an appeal taken to the State Supreme Court, so that the con stitutionality of these new county li quor laws may be tested out soon as possible. But if no injunction is sought or obtained there is nothing to prevent all the 17 1-2 counties In cluded in these new laws to proceed with their elections. Nor is there any thing to stop them from opening their liquor stores if the elections carry. “If the State Suprime Court de cides that the two l/ws exempting these 17 1-2 counties from the Tur. lington Act are unconstitutional, than a, majority of all the other laws pass ed (by this and previous sessions of the General Assembly from which one “Aunt Julia Lee is furious.” looked a little frowsy and were faint ly odorous of the inexpert native curing that no amount of good per fume could entirely disguise. The admiral had ordered the ship dressed with flags and it was he who gave the bride to an entranced Val. After the ceremony fruit punch and little iced cakes were served and there was dancing to the ship’s orchestra on the quarter-declc. Evening had descended \. hen Lia and Val returned to the city with the joyous crowd of young - people bidden to the reception Brad and Sus were giving for the newly-weds at the Cathay. Lia was so delighted With this gay affair that, watching her, Yal remembered that not only had she been cheated of a wedding trip, but also she must remain be hind in Shanghai; and so he per mitted the party to progress into a dinner with himself as a host. He had tlie glass doors of the smaller salon opened into the main dining room so that they might dance to tlie music of the best orchestra m the East, and although he himself resisted its lure with difficulty, he ordered champagne to be served to his guests. Sitting at the head of the board, his eyes constantly sought the most enchanting person he had ever be heid, his bride. She was the loveliest thing in the world in that little gray suit with tlie flaring organdy collar and cuffs. He adored her from tiny suede slippers to the impudent hat that curved almost to hide one laugh 'Ug eye. She was a picture—a mid- Victorian doll—a smart little French fashion-plate—and the beguiling de light of his heart. At midnight he decided he had shared his bride quite enough, where upon he carried her away from the protesting crowd. When they en tered the suite he had engaged at the Cathay, he crossed the sitting room to fling open the windows facing the moon-silvered harbor, then turned to see whether the apartment, decked vwih flowers of his choosing, had won Lia’s approval. In the midst of her exclamations of pleasure, a Chinese maid came out from the bedroom to hand her a telegram that had ar ri\ed while they were still at dinner. \Y hen Lia had read the wire she tossed it impatiently to the table.
