Warehouse To Build More Floor Space One of Warrenton's ware houses will Increase its floor space by 24,600 feet this sum mer. Edward Moody told the Board of County Commission ers Monday that CentreWare house No. 2 would increase its floor space in order to pro vide better selling facilities. He said that the enlargement would have no bearing on the amount of selling time. Moody, who operates Centre Warehouse No. 2 with Edward Radford and M. P. Carroll, appeared before the board to ask permission to obtain dirt from the lower end of proper ty owned by the Warren Gen eral Hospital. He wastoldthat the hospital trustees would have to be informed before any action could be taken by the board and the property Inspected. Board Chairman Amos L.

Moody said that in addition to the addition to the ware house additional space would be provided lor a prize house lor Imperial Tobacco Com pany.

Sometimes, he added, when his warehouse has the last sale of the day, farmers are Inconvenienced In placing tobacco on the floor for the first sale the following days. C, W. Currin, one of the operators of Currln's Ware house, said that Currln's Warehouse No. 2 would also be In operation next fall.
