T. Allen to County Superintendent J. Edward Allen. Action on the application for the Norlina school is expected before the end of the week, it was learned. State approval has also been given for a number of smaller loans for school purposes totalling $14,000, and for $2500 to purchase school ground at the John Graham High school now being leased, Mr. Allen said. Application for CWA help in the erection of the Littleton plant has already been made and other applications are being filed, it was stated. Included in the application for labor was that of the board <t Trustees of the John Graham High school to have the Warren Plains school building removed to Warrenton. In the event that this project is carried through, as it is believed that it will be, this building will probably be used next year for the primary grades, according to the county superintendent. Questioned about the result of a visit to Raleigh by County Commissioner John L. Skinner and Messrs. Joe Pippen and Paul W. Cooper on ? - j? a J.-. iM last Ttiursaay in regaru tu uuc installments of loans from the Macon and Littleton districts, Mr. Allen said that he did not know Just-what these gentlemen did, but added that it was evident that they accomplished their purpose as apIproval was given to the Littleton application of funds from the State body. Fears had been expressed that in the event that these installments on a loan could not be met, that the entire borrowing program of the county might be defeated.
