FOR STATE ROADS
Governor Allots Funds Frotti
Huge Surplus to Aid
County Routes
Raleigh, Aug. 2—Governor Hoey, in
the most important financial move
ciaeo he took office, allotted an addi
tional $2,000,000 today for the main
tenance of the state’s secondary road
system. 4 ; .i,,.
Announcement of the appropriation
nie simultaneously with a report of
the 'budget bureau that North Caro
i na ended the 1035 37 biennium with
t General tund surplus of $5,231,300,
the° largest in its history. t
To Use Road Fund
The $2,000,000, however, will be paid
fo m the highway fund surplus, which
on June 30 totaled $9,213,382 including
federal aid money.
T| ie allotment, together with the $5,-
800.000 made available by the general
\s-4mbly for secondary road work
during the current fiscal year, will
re-mlt" in more money being spent on
county or farm roads during 1937-38
than in any previous 12-month period:
The entire $2,000,000 the governor
said, will ne spent “to aid in placing
county roads in condition in advance
of the winter season.”
Keeps Promise
•T promised when I took office I
was going to do my utmost to bring
the farmers out of the mud and to
improve rural school bus routes,” he
added.
The general fund surplus at the
close of the biennium was $2,000,000
more than that estimated by the gen
eral assembly in drawing up a bal
anced budget. and $4,519,256 more
than the surplus at the close of the
1933-35 biennium.
The highway surplus, including fed
eral aid, was $2,914,773 less than the
1933-35 surplus of $12,128,155, also in
cluding federal aid. The highway
surplus of state funds was $6,218,490.
The overflowing general fund coff
ers, the governor said, assured no di
version of highway money during the
current fiscal year. He added, how
ever, that highway money might have
to be diverted for other uses in 1938-
39.
In the past, diversion of $1,000,000 a
year has been mandatory. The gen
eral assembly, however, passed a Jaw
that no highway money should be put
to other uses unless the general fund
was exhausted.

BAPTISTS TO BUILD
Will Also Add New Lights
in Church and Make
More Repairs There
Decision was reached by the con
gregation of the First Baptist
church Sunddy morning to pjoceed
at once with the raising of funds for
the building of a new church parson
age, and also the rrtaking of needed
repairs to the church edifice, as well
as installing moderh lighting fixtures
in the main auditorium of the church.
The, entire outlay is to be around
$15,000.
Location of the new parsonage is
not yet certain, but was left in the
hands of a committee to make recom
mendations to the congregation later.
An offer was recently received by
the congregation from one of its
members to match dollar for dollar
any amount that would be raised for
a parsonage. It is planned to invest
some SIO,OOO or $12,000 in the new
home for the pastor, the remainder to
go on the church building.
Wlhether the parsonage will be lo
cated on the property adjoining the
church on Wyche and Orange streets
is undecided as yet. If it is built
there, however, it will likely be con
structed of stone to match the church
building, it was stated.
Definite plans for raising the
money will be worked out by a com
mittee and the entire project will be
laid before the congregation before
construction work is started.

eminently of Lewis’ allignment, jab

“The federal government” (with
President Roosevelt at its head)
“has not displayed the slightest inter
est in protecting the rights of the
striking ajteel workers” (Lewisites)
“which have been so flagrantly dis
regarded.”
Friction.?
In other words, “Plague on you” is
the administration’s attitude toward
the Lewisites.
Oppositely, the Lewisites demand
that “national” particularly NATION
AL, meaning Roosevelt)” authorities
. . . bring to justice those persons wh<
actively participated ... in the wan

It does not scud much as if
Rooseveltians and Lewisites any long
er are harmonious.
“A plague on you” is the Roosevel
tian attitude toward the Lewisites.
Acquiescence in “wanton murder”
is the Lewisonian charge against
Rooseveltianism.
Is a certain amount of friction in
dicated?
