Chairman Capus M. Waynick conferred yesterday with Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus on the matter and the plan was approved by the governor, provided the budget bureau checked the figures and found that as much as $2,800,000 was ac tually available in the highway fund and could be spared for this work. The budget bureau is today going over the proposal and the figures pre sented by Sam Smith, chief account ant for the highway department, and approval of the figures is expected today or tomorrow at the latest. The plan under consideration would per mit the expenditure of $2,800,000 more of the so-called “surplus” in the high way fund for the repairing and im provement of highways, in addition to the regular amount appropriated by the > last general assembly. Most of this amount will be spent on the county roads, although some of it will be expended on a few stretches of State highway in need of immediate resurfacing or rebuilding. “Our plans have already been pre pared and we are ready to start work on these new projects just as soon as the budget bureau gives us the ‘go’ signal,” Waynick said. “We are anx ious to get these projects started just as soon as possible so that as many as possible can be completed before the bad weather sets in and because many of the roads we propose to im prove are those used by school buses.

Their automobile crashed through the open draw and then hung on a piling point before it slipped off into 35 feet of water. Rescue workers had time to at tempt a rescue before the car finally slid from its precarious perch be neath the bridge.

Maxwell, in that it eli minates what most observers agree was going to become a. very embar rassing situation for all three. The belief has been current in political circles for many weeks that Dr. Noble would not he reappointed as sistant commissioner of revenue after Mr. Hoey became governor while some have felt that the opposition to Dr. Noble might extend beyond him to Commissioner Maxwell and result in a demand for the retirement of Maxwell, though no material opposi tion to the reappointment of Maxwell as commissioner of revenue has be come apparent as yet. Relief for Hoey. The fact that Dr. Noble has already tendered his resignation to become effective September 15, almost four months before Mr. Hoey becomes gov ernor, is not only going to relieve Mr. Hoey and Commissioner Maxwell of much worry and embarrassment, but is going to prevent Dr. Noble from being the center of much em barrassing controversy and political discussion during the next four months, most observers agree. While there was a very determined and vigorous opposition to Dr. Noble —so great that it was already being conceded he would not be reappointed —those who know the facts know that most, of this opposition was lar gely political and that there was nothing against Dr. Noble’s record. So if he had remained on as assis tant commissioner of revenue until after Mr. Hoey became governor and had not been reappointed, he would have been dropped “for the good of the party,” rather than for any ac (Continued on Page Four.)

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Sept. 3. —A navy is not much good without a merchant fleet to support it. Therefore there is a deal of puzzle ment in circles which know some thing concerning sea power problems relative to President Roosevelt’s rea sons for delaying so long to speed up the construction of cargo-carrying craft equally with warship building. American neutrality sentiment tq the contrary notwithstanding, it can’t but be recognized that Uncle Sam will be hard put to it to keep out of another world conflict if one breaks out, as seems pretty probable—and very soon, too. Now, there is coneideraoee arguing to the effect that the United States will he proportionately less and less likely to be by a foreign struggle as it is more and more strongly armed afloat. It map he a doubtful contention, but the White House tenant subscribes to it, and so does Congress, for it made a mightily liberal allowance, as its last session, for more fighting vessels.
