Adv. however, members of the shipping board professing to know nothing whatever of it. Many, however, who are in position to know are confident that building operations will get into swing during this week and that the foundations for many new houses will be laid before another Sunday has come. It was learned that C. Van Noppen, who returned to the city last night from Greensboro, had placed con tract for ten carloads of furniture and that this could be expected in the city in the early future.' It is pre sumed that it will be shipped from High Point. Mr. Van Noppen hate the Purcell house leased and it is under stood that be intends converting it Into a rooming house. He also has the second floor of the Tidewater Power company building,. Princesi street, leased, although it. is not known to what use he expects to put it. It was understood last night m certain quarters that the Greensboro man expects to open a furniture store here and it was. said that the Market street building adjoining that occu pied by G. Dannebaum had been leas ed for the' purpose. The authenticity of this, however, could not be deter mined. Members of the board of county commissioners have been in confer ence for the past two days with W. S. Fallis and R. E. Snowden, of Ral eigh and Goldsboro, members of the State highway commission, concern ing the nature of the road that is to be constructed from the Fort Fisher highway to the gates of the Carolina shipyards. The commissioners want expert advice as to the proper mate rials to go into the road as they ex pect the traffic to be unusually heavy. ;un, r: "iTheree is a strong probability of us- mg concrete, uucci, uuo uao uv been thoroughly determined as yet. me ngnx OI way nas aireauy uecu cut and grading operations are pjM ceedinir rapidly although Road fSuper-! Intendent Burnett - is ,u hampered through lack of labor. The county has only 25 able-bodied convicts at the present time and past experience has shown that hired labor for work of this nature Is very unsatisfactory. The county's request for State con vict labor for use on this stretch of road has not been complied with as yet but the commissioners -are hope ful of receiving this aid. Another bit of interesting news is that Engineer Towle, who is pleas antly known here, is to be located here during the construction of the ships at the Carolina yards. Mr Towle visited the city several times when Wilmington was making valiant efforts to land that which she finally succeeded in securing and is Im mensely liked.
