ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY KVKNINC, M.\U< II Ul\ i:U7. SIX PACKS. NO. 69. City Council Calls Halt In Expenditures Pending Survey Financial Status Decide to Make Certain NfCfii?ary Work 1* Pro vided for Before Milking Additional Oi^Iuvk BII)S BEING CIIKCKKI) Final Payment to Turli and Gutter Contractor* Held Up Pending Survey ?-of Sidewalk Damage I Till. Cil.i Cuumil?flatly called a halt last night in ex penditures 011 various street and other improvements, pending a survey of the finan cial situation with a view to making certain there is enough money to cover proj ects definitely pledged in the passage of the recent $100, 000 bond issue. This bond Issue, passed l?jr the recent General Assembly, was In troduced by Representative Wil son, of Pasquotank, with the un derstanding that It was to pay, in sequence, for the resurfacing of some 20.00U square yards of R*-I Klan block streets, re-setting the brick streets not already re-set, and furnishing oil penetration for the recently laid gravel streets. Mayor McCabe announred from a report by City Auditor Snowdcn that already a little more than $33,000 had been borrowed against the bonds. and had been spent, and that some $5,000 was due besides, making nearly $30, 000 of the $100,000 already ac counted for. though no definite action had been taken toward either the resurfacing of the Bel gian block streets, or for the oil penetration treatment for the gravel streets. As partially offsetting that, however, City Manager Forehee slated thai .most of tho? brick streets had been re-laid. These, as has been noted, constitute the second Item In the mandatory pro gram upon which the bond issue was conditioned. In voting to check further ex penditures temporarily, the Coun cil exempted a sidewalk on West Ehringhaus street, torn up when the street was paved. It was or dered that this sidewalk be com pleted at once. Its estimated cost Is $900. The session opened with a statement by Mayor McCabe that he had been approached by M. I*. Gallop, member of the Utilities Commission whose term expires aext month, with a declaration that he did not wish reappoint ment, and with a tender of the post to himself. Mr. McCabe said he told Mr. Gallop lie would ac cept It, but later heard street talk to the effect that the "Ferebee gang" on the Council was trying to drive Mr. Gallop ofT the com mission and supplant him with the mayor. "I know nothing of the 'Fere bee gang'," Mr. McCabe declared. "I think Mr. Fere be has made a highly efficient city manager, and 1 certainly shall support those Who support him. I want you gen tlemen to understand that I am not a candidate for the Utilities Commission." The Council then turned to con sideration of bills on the bitumin ous surfacing for the Itelglan block streets here, and on the oil penetration for the gravel streets. ]ds were closed. Then about a representatives of paving tnpanics were heard. City Man ager Ferebee wan requested to ifOrk out all bids on a square yardage basis, and submit his fig ures at a special meeting of the Council Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, with a view to letting con tract then. It was announced that the Council would meet again Monday nljjht at 7:30 o'clock lo consider bids on the $100,000 bond Issue. The Council heard at length a request from the Standard Oil Company for permission to erect so oil storage plant on the site of ths old Commander mill, on Front street. The company's plea was presented hy Attorney J Kenyon Wilson, who declared It was pur posed to erect five storage tanks, and to connect those used for oils with the Suffolk & Carolina Rnll rnad spur nearby by means of a pipe line. All gasoline and kero sene would be pumped directly in to the tsnks from vessels In the harbor, Mr. Wilson stated. The company would spend about $100,000 on the property. Mr. Wilson continued, and would undertake to make It highly at tractive by planting shrubbery and doing other decorative work. The hazard would not be ln _ seel. he said, holding that. In rtOllty, there was less danger from * gasoline tank than from a build lag, since If it caught Are It would ?urn )||(e n torch, giving off no ?parks to endanger nearby prop oft*. Mr. Wilson declared a gasoline tank wouldn't explode, due to Its construction, adding thst similar (Continued on Psg? 2) pene k It glomr aver doln wfl re W ereai W Nail ) ? ga t< 7N (th C.OLW.IL V.to cal! halt in oxpvn <|?iii?-?*^ for improvement* uti hi ni-..' t.L w?rl;?ulnlcmU hm I h.fri di ermined definitely.
