King, Mrs. wk COURT, page 10) Additions To Roads To Be Made Surplus funds In the State Highway fund allocated to War ren County will be used to hard top one road In the county; to stabilize another road and to stabilize a part of a third road, the county commissioners de cided at their regular meeting here Monday. After District Engineer Wayne Atkins and J. H. Bed dingfield, county maintenance superintendents, had appeared before the commissioners lo report that Warren had a sur plus of $140,000 of funds allo cated to the county, the com missioners decided to use the funds on three roatfr with high priorities. The board approved the harJ surfacing of the Club Pond Road near Elberon, and the stabilizing of the Long School Road in the eastern part of the county. Any funds left over will be used to stabilize a part of the W. D. Martin Road near Oine. It will probably be next spring before any work is done on the projects. Frank W. Reams, industrial director, and Monroe Gardner of Bute Development Commis sion, appeared before the com missioners relative to the ex tension of water and sewer line to an industrial park north of Warren if and when a plant decides to move into the park. The commissioners agreed to provide the necessary funds un der the condition that no funds would be provided until a fac tory is located. Application for a federal grant to pay half the cost of running the lines will be made. Seeking to lower the cost of an addition to the Warren County Welfare Department on the hospital grounds the com missioners agreed to omit a conference room for the new building and to increase an ap propriation for drawing plans for the building from $250 to $300 in order that new bids may be advertised. In an effort to continue part of the work of Warren-Franklin Vance Opportunities, Inc., the commssloners agreed to pay part of the salary of Direc tor George Boyd for the next three months and to allocate $300 for this purpose. The board had been requested that Warren County pay $600for this purpose to match funds provided by Franklin and Vance Coun ties, but said that this was not fair on a population bash ind that no more than $300 was available for this purpose. The report of Claude Fleming, Dog Warden, showed that he traveled 1833 miles during the past months, picked up 58 dogs and sold $7.00 worth of dogs, funds from which were turned Into the dog fund. R. D. Robinson of Warrenton was given a tax credit of $2.00 when It was revealed that he had erroneously listed a dog for taxation, the dog being less than six months old at the time of listing. The tax and penalty had come to $2.00.

Warren County remained in the Democratic fold in Tues day's General Election by the narrowest of margins while Richard M. Nixon was winning the State by a narrow margin. This was the first time that North Carolina has voted Republican in a national elec tion since 1928 Warren Coun ty has not voted Republi can during this century, but it is possible that official returns might give the coun ty to George Wallace, who was only 20 votes behind in unofficial returns late Tues day night. Nixon ran a poor third in the county. The unofficial vote in the Presidential race in Warren County Tuesday was Humph rey 2283; Wallace 2253; and Nixon 823. Bob Scott, who was lead ing in the State at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning piled up a good majority in Warren Coun ty. Unofficial returns from 14 precincts gave Scott 3522 votes to Gardner's 1657 While Nixon carried the State, Democrats faired well in most other races, with the Council of State being chosen from that party. Uncertainty still rules in the Presidential "race over the Na tion. At 8 o'clock Wednes day morning Nixon and Humph rey each had 43 percent of the vote with the vote not complete in several key states. Nixon, who trailed in the popular vote early Wednesday morn ing, overcame Humphrey's popular vote lead as returns from the Far West came in and Wednesday morning was lead ing by more than 300,000 popular votes. In Warren County local officials were without oppo sition. Because of the number of voters who split the long state ballot in Warren County, re turns from many of the pre cincts were late coming In. It was reported Wednesday morning that the count in West Warrenton was not com pleted until around 2:30 a. m. Wednesday and the East War renton precinct did not complete its count until around 6:30 a- m. Wednesday. In the Presidential balloting in the county, official returns show that George Wallace won in six of the 14 precincts and Humphrey in nine. Scott was the winner in every precinct in the county. Voting for Wallace were Riv er, Sixpound, Hawtree, Smith Creek, Judklns and Norllna. Nut bush, Sandy Creek, Shocco, Fishing Creek, East Warrenton, West Warrenton, Fork and Roanoke cast a majority of their votes for Humphrey. Nix on carried no precincts In Warren County. Bob Scott, who held a commanding lead in the State at midnight Tuesday, saw his margin reduced. Ho was leading at 10 o'clock Wednes day morning and had not at that time definitely won the election. At 10 o'clock on Wednes day morning it was announced that Nixon had carried Illinois which gave him more than the 270 electoral votes needed to win. A short time before It was announced that Nixon, (See ELECTION, page 10) Unofficial Vote In Warren County HUMPHREY WALLACE NIXON SCOTT GARDNER River 136 2 63 129 Sixpound 95 M 40 Hawtree 152 292 34 Smith Creek 41 104 n Nut bush 222 . 118 17 Sandy Greek 267 131 81 Shocco 127 60 33 Fishing creek 174 71 29 JUdklns 120 156 20 E.
