ROAD AND BRIDGE WORK PROGRESSING IN COUNTY Work is progressing rapidly on the two bridges and four culverts on Highway No. JOG, fi<om Svl/va jt*> Cullawhec. The Cane Creek culvert has been completed and traffic is now able to go over it. Pouring of concrete has been under way for sevcra' days on the Sylva Vidge, which spa is Scott's Creek. This bridge is estimated to cost ap proximately $11,000. There are be tween 15 ami 20 i:vn working on th< Sylva project. The Sylva bridge will have a 30- foot roadway and a five frot sidewalk 011 each vide of the -oadwav. It is said that with favor able weather, the bridge will be com pleted possibly within 60 days. Work is ateo progressing rapidly j >n the Cullowhcc bridge. The footing on the west side of the Cullowhee bridge has been poured, and work is getting along nicely with the west side abutment. It is estimated that the Cullowhee bridge, which spans the Tuckaseigee river, will cost ap proximately $17,500: It will be con crete girder typ.' with a 20-foot road way and a five- foot sidewalk 011 the upstream side. About 400 feet of the Blackwood Lumber company's rail way, which traverses the west hank of the Tuckaseigee river, will be rai.-ed to a level with the new bridge. Const nv-.tirn of the bridge Is expcct: ed to be finished by the latter part of April. There are between 30 and 40 men employed on the Cullowhee project. In all, including the two bridges and four culverts, there have been ap proximately 80 men working on these op'/jects. Only half-time employment. Vis been afforded the men, one crew "orkiug tbre" davs a week and an other crew three days. The' alterna- ' ':on of the crews is necessary l>e- ' '??nse of the fact that the construc ?on of the bridge is a Federal and 'state unemployment relief project.

JUDGE WALTER E. MOORE Last Rites Held Tuesday For Judge Walter E.

Ozakf. jave 73 yWTWOld, left Lon don the other day to go back to his' native Japan, confident that upon his arrival" he will be assassinated by ?some fanatical member of the war party ot' his nation. .'Ozaki has al ways been a man of peace. Years ago he warned his people agiunst the ris ing war spirit among them. It takes a brave man to stand by his principles and to offer 1:0 resist ance when others seek to slay him. The- spirit in Vhich Ozaki is facing those who wouid,. destroy by force all that 'he believes in, is the spirit which has actuated oil of those who have ever impressed their principles permanently upon the world. Revolutions . sot jMtt I talked the other day with an in telligent Russia a, recently returning ? to America after an absence of' several a ears, who voiced fptiti eally his belief that the United States j is on .the verge ft a revolution. "Had it ever occurred to you," I1 asked htm, * 'that there never has1 been a successful revolution unlets the army, or the hulk of it,, was on the side of the revolutionists? The Bo'shevik revolution in Russia be gan with the organisation of tha sol diers in workers' union. The French revolution didn't some about oAll the Royal Guard joined the revolu tionists. ' " My Russian friend reflected a while and .then admitted that I was right." The founders of this Republic realized that no government Maid be stable unless its armed forees were k<-pt subordinate to the civil authorities', and they wrote that into the. Constitution.

Thomas Wolfe, pastor of the Sylva Methodist church, then read from a passage of the scripture?, and the Rev. Dr. 0. J. Chandler, of Ashe ville, offered prayer. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Stikeloather, of Asheville, sang "Abide With Me,'' jifter which the benediction was pronounced by Mr. Avery.

The bill which would prohibit the pollution of th? waters of the Tucka^eigce and Tenn essee livers in Jackson, Macon ami .Swuin counties, which was introduced by Representative John Randolph of Swain, was before n joint, meeting of the House and Senate Commit - tees on Conservation and Develop ment, Monday afternoon, and action on it was held up lor the present. The member* of the committee had other committee meetings which they had to attend, unl further hearing* on the Randolph bill were postponed to be held again at the cull of the chairman of the committee; which nivalin thU it may be considered again, and maybe never. Representa tive Randolph and Judge Tliad D. Bryaon appeared before the commit tee as proponents of. the bill; while Mrs. E. L. McKce, Senator Francis, Senator I'atton, and Representative Tompkins appeared against it. Mr. K. C. Oatlett, who made an exhaust live survey of the situation, some time ago, for the State Department of Health, stated that there is noth ing in the effluent from the Sylva plants that is derimental to health, and that no means of eradicating tho discoloration had been found; and thnt hence, the passage of the bill would moan that the plants would be forced to close. The general opin ion among the members of the as sembly from the Southwestern coun ties, all of whom, with the exception of Mr. Randolph, arc opposed to the passage of the bill, is that it has no chance of being enacted into law. One member of the committee asked the writer Monday afternoon if tho bill isn't in effect the same that tho committee saw fit to kill four and two 3 ears ago. Dr. H. T. Hunter, president o? Western Carolina Teachers -College was in Raleigh the first of the week, to appear before the House appro priations committee in behalf of tho institution in Jackson county, and made a most favorable impression upon the committee. Dr. Ilunter stated that the school is the creaturo of the Legislature and that it will endeavor to serve as best it can upoa the amount of money that the Leg islature sees fit to award it. Ho stated that the school is endeavoring to serve and cooperate during tho present trying times, and showed how economics have been effected at Cullowhee, and how salaries there have been reduced below those paid at other institutions. He laid down six major proposals, which struck a responsive chord in the minds of tho committee. They arc: 1. That the State base its appro priation this year to the three teach ers colleges ujMJn the idea of saving these institutions with no effort to meet association standards, so far as the State appropriations are con cerned. 2. That all three colleges he placed upon the same basis; that is, th.it the appropriation to each be sucli :is to make it possible for each collugo to pay the same basic salaries from State funds. 3. That anv salaries beyond tin-so basic salaries from State funds must come from tluo institutions' own col lections. 4. That each institution be required to charge a nominal tuition fee for all students, say about $30 per ses sion. 5. That the Board of Trustees bo permitted to determine the allocation of funds available at each institution. 6. That a limit of attendance at each institution be set by the legis lature based upon its present cap acity. The last recommendation is consid ered of especial value, as the supply of teachers Ls now beyond demand, and following out the recommenda tion would tend to quality instead of quantity both in the students and in the work that they do in the institu tions, and would, at the same time, effect a saving in the State treasury. Most of the work of the Assembly at present is being done in the com mittees, where the recommendations for reorganizing tie State govern ment, consolidation boards and de partments, cutting out the officers and employees that are not vital, re (Continued oo Page 2)
