Moving Bus Station
‘To A New Location!
Station Will Be
Housed In Pearl
Street Building
Move Offers Marked Ini
• provenien* Over The
Present Facilities
Taking the first opportunity to
relieve a bad bus station condition
here, the Carolina Coach Com
pany will move its local terminal
from the little box on Washington
Street to the building formerly
occupied by the Martin Tractor
and Truck Company on Pearl
Street just across the way from
Chas. H. Jenkins and Company.
The change, effective Saturday
of this week, will be welcomed
not only by patrons but also by
the general public.
It is common knowledge that
special efforts have been advanc
ed for months in an effort to lo
cate a suitable station for the
traveling public, but one obstacle
after another has been encount
ered.
While the new location will not
afford ideal advantages for a bus
station, the facilities there are
far better than those available in
the present one.
It could not be learned official
ly, but it is possible that the com
pany is still seeking a more suit
able site, that the Pearl Street
station will be maintained on a
temporary basis. The street is to
be paved within the next two or
three months, and the public is
, . .certain ta, .yecept the change a
marked improvement uvei the
present facilities.

Plan To Open New Track
Route Here By October 15
No official date has been men
tioned, but it is exp (ted that the
new truck route, serving high
ways 17 and 64 around the town,
will be open to unlimited use on
or about the middle of October,
according to estimates coming
from the project location this
week, Completion dates depend
much on the weather prevailing
during the next few weeks, and,
too. other factors are to be con
sidered, it was explained.
All but about two carloads of
rock have beer, placed on the load
for the base. The first primer as
phalt was poured on that section
of the road between Highway 64
and highway 17 late Tuesday and
yesterday. The section between
Skewarkey and West End is about
i
ready for the first liquid asphalt
coat.
Sub let by the Hill Construction

pany, the road capping calls for
o primer asphalt coat followed by
another to hold inch-sized rot*, j
Another application of liquid as
phalt will be made and covered
with lint rock, followed by a final
application of liquid asphalt. In
time, possibly one, two or three
years, the road will be surfacted
with sand asphalt.
Local or limited traffic will not
be interrupted on portions of the
road any great length of time,
and provisions have been made to
care for the traffic moving to and
from the new warehouse, it was
learned.

In By-Pass Wreck
Apparently trying to open the
truck route now nearing comple
tion around the town, ahead of
time, John F. Ward, young Wil
mington man suffered painful in
juries when his car went out of
control and turned over on the
eastern end of the route shortly
before 11 00 o’clock Tuesday
night. The victim, apparently suf
fering no broken bones and few
or not cuts, was thought to have
been hurt internally.
Said to have been traveling at
a rapid speed, Ward could not
make the curve as he came off
the river bridge, llis Ford con
vertible barely missed the bar
ricade across the new highway
route and struck a concrete post
just to the side of the road. The
machine turned over two or three
times, coming to a stop on its
wheels.
the bi idge, Bridgekeeper Hugh
I Spruill told Mrs. Spruill that he
I did not believe the car could make
the curve. Brakes were heard
squealing and trenches were dug
[quite a distance by the tires in
I the rock base for the new road.
Ward was thrown from Ihe car,
landing about fifteen feet away
between the rails of the track
leading to the fertilizer plant.
The victim was picked up by
a Biggs ambulance and removed
to Brown’s Community Hospital.
No estimate on the property
damage could be hud immediate
ly, but it will run into the severa
hundreds of dollars.
