J. IIARRY BUNN
J. HARRYIUI, 59,
PASSES SUDDENLY
Prominent Textile Man Dies
at Home Hour After At
tack at Office
J. Harry Bunn, 59, superintendent
of the Henderson Cotton Mills here,
and an outstanding citizen died at his
home at 325 Charles street shortly
before 3 o’clock this afternoon, less
than an hour after he suffered a heart
attack at his office at the mills at
North Henderson.
He had not been ill and had never
had any ailment of the heart, so far
as was known. Members of the fam
ily said he appeared in good health
and good spirits when at home for
lunch at the usual hour.
Funeral arrangements had not been
made late this afternoon, but it was
thought the services would be some
time Friday, probably from the First
Baptist church.
Mr. Bunn is survived by his widow,
who before marriage was Miss Mattie
Dean; three sons, Robert Bunn, sup
erintendent of Harriet Cotton Mills
Nos. 1 and 2 at South Henderson; Dr.
J. Harry Bunn, physician of Winston-
Salem, and Dean Bunp, dental student
now attending Wake Forest College;
and one daughter, Miss Margaret
Bunn, of the faculty of the public
schools of Wilson; one brother, A. A.
Bunn, prominent Henderson attorney;
and four sisters, Miss Bertha Bunn
and Mrs. Nellie Clifton, both of Hen
derson; Mrs. Manton Oliver, of Reids
ville, and Mrs. T. M. Johnson, of
Greenville. His mother, Mrs. Robert
Bunn, also /survives but his father
has been dead some twenty years.
Mr. Bunn was born in Hamilton, On
tario, Canada, November 19, 1877 but
came to Henderson with his parents
when he was less than a year old and
had lived here since that time.
After completing his education, he
became affiliated with the Hender
son Cotton Mills company and climb
ed to the office of superintendent,
which he had held some 25 or 30
years.
He was a leading member of the
First Baptist church of Henderson,
and for years had been a member of
the aboard of deacons. He was also
active in the Henderson Kiwanis club
virtually since it was organized here
more than a decade ago, and was a
past president of the club.

CITY WILL BORROW
120,000 FOR TIME
Tax Anticipation Note To
Furnish Operating Funds
Temporarily
At a called meeting Tuesday even
ing, the City Council of Henderson
voted to borrow $20,000 in tax antici
pation notes for operation of the city
until tax receipts for the new fiscal
year bring in sufficient funds to meet
expense requirements. The meeting
was a brief one and no other business
than the author!, ation for the borrow
ing was transacted, Mayor Henry T.
Powell said.
Approval of the Local Government
Commission in Raleigh must be ob
tained for the sale of the short-term
notes, but no difficulty in obtaining
that permission was anticipated. Near
ly every summer the city is forced to
obtain operating funds in this man
ner pending tax collections for the
year.
The notes will, of course, be pro
vided for in the new budget. Esti
mates of operating costs for the next
fiscal year will be presented to the
Council at its next regular meeting
the fourth Monday in this month, and
the tax rate will be levied probably
at the August meeting.
Indications now are that the city’s
tax rate foi 1937-38 will not be less
than $1.50 on the SIOO ppoperty val
uation. City authorities, in speaking
of the probable rate, mentioned it as
being “at least $1.50.”
POLISWALT
NEW ROADPROJECT
Virginia Angle to Parallel
for Route 1 Comes to
Light Here
Injection of politics into the situa
tion in Virginia may do what a move
ment launched here several weeks
ago had as its goal, the blocking of
the diversion of tourist traffic from
the present national highway, Route
I, to an auxiliary route further to
the east, according to information
learned today.
The State of Virginia would have
to furnish a good deal of the money
necessary for building the proposed
highway, which would route south
ward from Petersburg byway of
Lawrenceville, cross the wide Roa
noke river and move on by Warren
ton, thence to Louisburg and into Ra
leigh. North Carolina would have to
spend some $2,500,000 for that portion
of the highway that would lie in this
State, according to estimates.
In Virginia, a political faction that
carries considerable weight, and
which centers in thb South Hill sec
tion, is determinedly opposed to the
new project, and is said to outweigh
the eastern group in “pull” at the
State capital. And that may !be a tre
mendous factor in halting an under
taking for which agitation has be
come vigorous in recent weeks.
Moreover, the State of North Caro
lina hasn’t the $2,500,000 to put into
the road at this time, and it is not
in sight for any immediate near fu
ture period.
Vance county’s share of an allot
ment of some $600,000 for the high
way district in which the county is
located will be used to complete the
Townsville road to Townsville, beyond
Williamsboro, to which grading has
been done, one other road, and then
admit of some consideration to a de
mand for widening of Route one from
Henderson to the Virginia line. The
funds are not available in the present
highway budget, however, for that
widening project at the present time,
according to best information avail
able.

CHEST BUDGET MAY
UNDERGO REVISIONS
Committee To Hold Meeting
To Decide o*n Benefi
ciary Agencies
iSome revision of the budget propos
ed for Henderson’s first Community
Chest, which is to be undertaken this
fall, will likely be made when the
committee having the matter in hand
meets, probably in the next few days,
to make a final estimate and give ap
proval to the amounts and projects to
be included.
A tentative budget for considera
tion of those' in the community who
are interested was made up several
weeks ago and made public by Sam
Alford, chairman of the chest organi
zation. It calls for a total of $4,950.
Some discussion of the items includ
ed has been had, and at least one
beneficiary agency has protested an
inadequacy for its purposes.
When the chest committee meets
shortly it is expected to fix the defi
nite amount of money to be sought
and also agree upon a date for the
campaign, when the community will
be asked to underwrite the undertak
ing.
The city has never before under
taken to do its charity and benevolent
work through a single agency solicit
ing medium, although there has long
been an agitation for just such an ar
rangement as now proposed.
