The trains pasting Parmele at 12:30 and 5 p. m. each day, except Sunday, made their last runs Saturday, -the change caus ing much confusion in the dispatching of several daily papers. The removal of the trains delays ( mail addressed to the towns between , Parmele and Weldon many hours. A : letter addressed to a party in Oak City j and hiailed here at 8 o'cjock in the morning will not leave the office here j until 7 o'clock the following morning. The old schedule provided the deliv- j ery of a letter mailed here at 3:30 in the afternoon to a party in Hassell, { Oak City, or Hamilton late the same afternoon. ' A star route operating between Scot land Neck and Williamston has been | suggested, and it is understood that j the towns along the route will make j an urgent appeal for the service. It j ii believed that a combination mail and bus route connected with the Nor- j folk-Rocky Mount busses at Scotland ! Neck and the Norfolk-Wilmington trains at Hobgood would more than j offset the cost and at the same time j afford adequate mail service and con venient passenger connections. *.

If cigarette consumption runs 10 per cent larger this year than, last, the Department of Agriculture es timates that the consumption of flue | cured tobacco wfll be 5 per cent above > last year. I This would make the domestic con sumption of flue-cured tobacco 317,000,- (XX) for the present fiscal year, begin ning July Ist, compared with 302,000,- (XX) million pounds last year, an in crease of 15,000,000 pounds.

Advertisers Will Find Our CoL umna a Latchkey to Over 1,600 Hornet of Martin County ESTABLISHED 1898 TOTAL COST IS ■ CONSIDERED TO BE REASONABLE * Final Estimate Shows That Commissioners Guarded __Treasury Well REPORT IN~ DETAIL Actual Sidewalk Paving Cost Around $20(00; Balance for Widening Main Street, Grading, Etc. Willianiston's paving program, start ed last spring and recently completed, cost the town treasury exactly $46,- 594.76, the amount including all expen ditures in connection with the program. While -the_£aving and allied costs weighed heavily upon the $75,000-sale price of the town's electric and power franchise to the Virginia Electric and Power I 0., there remains in the treas ury at this time $18,500, The renwiinder of the original, amount, $9,905.24, was borrowed to retire certain notes and bonds, the loan being made from the m, S7S,(XX) fund in anticipation tax collections. \\ bile the statement of the paving and other allied costs carried one or two ridiculous items, it is believed that the infprovements have been made at-' a reasonable cost. The official report, giving a detailed account of the ex penditures, indicates, as a whole, that the town officials have guarded the treasury closely and survived with $28,- 405.24 to be used in other channels. ' Probable the, officials profited by the mistakes made when the town's dear, lugh,.and precious water water system was ihstalled a number of years ago' Studying the statement closely, it is ! to be assumed that a part of the ex penditures is not to lie Charged to the* \ program that lias been completed. If such should ever conic to pass, the pav ing-of the streets should come in to b«ar a .part of the drainage costs m curred already. In other words, the i sidewalk improvements, concrete, and . gtading, amount to around $26,000. Of that amount $22,664.16 were spent for concrete walks and driveways. The widening of the Main Street cost j approximately $5,415.48, and brass pipes for ll.ig stalls—the one and about the only doubtful expenditure, amount ed to $337.10. Ihe installation of the brass pipes was made probably to elim inate trouble expected frotv use of regular'galvanized pipes. Ccorge Brooks, the engineer, was paid $2,128 08, or 5 per cent of $44,-" 375.96, these two amounts added repre senting the total paving and improve ment costs. "Extra work," in the statement, is understood*to include the costs in curred in the removal of trees .stumps, hydrants, and other similar tasks. The report in detail follows: 17,113.4 square yards of 4-inch J sidewalk at $1.20 $20,536.08 2.285 feet 6 inch combination curb and gutter at 73c 1,668.05 740.8 feet feet 8-inch combina tion curb and .gutter, at 78 582.50 365.5 feet combination ctTPb railius at 75c 275.12 1,274.3 square yards 6-inch driveways at $1.67 "^128.08 3,266.7 square yards 6-inch •" pavement at $1.67 5,455.38 Concrete steps 55.25 Brass pipes for flagstaffs 337.10 Extra "work ° 1,987.21 33 feel 8-ineh pipe at 42c 13.86 340 feet 12 in. pipe at 85c . 289.00 1.057 feet 15 in. pipe at $1.20 1,2(i8.40 203 feet 12 in. pipe -re-laid at 63c 129.78 1,094 feet 21 -in. pipe iit $3.15 3,446.10 120 feet 30-in pipe at $5.40 648.00 57 feet 36-in. pipe at $8,40 478.80 II Manholes at $32 352.00 21 Catch basins at $32 672.00 14,380 cubic yards excavation !
