Architect Archie R. Davis and county officials “were notified that their application for permission to begin construction and for related allotments of controlled materials had been denied. This notification came immedi ately on the heels of information obtained by county officials from W. & Easterling‘af the Load Government Commission that the bond market had stabilized and that sale of bonds for the pro ject, which was approved by vote of the people in 1949, might be advisable at this time. Informal dtecurjion with mem bers of the Board of County Com missioners indicated that body had about decided to call for bids on the new buildffig as planned very shortly and proceed with the con struction to the extent of money available, despite the possibility .hat" the basement. or some other part of the structure might not be completed. _- ' The notification of the NPA advised: “Aifter examining the papers which you have sribmit- - ted and after full and' complete consideration of all the facts pre sented by you, we regret to in form you that your application is denied. This denial is neces sitated by reason of the fact that the quantities of controlled ma terials available for commercial consruction are so limited that only the most essential projects can be authorized for construc tion at this time; and your pro posed building does not meet the i criteria of essentiality which has been established by the National Production Authority. “We wish to advise you, how ever, that if you deem the seme advisable, you may re-submit a new application on Form CMP 4C for permission to commence construction in the' first quarter of 19S2, for an authorized con struction schedule and a related allotment of controlled friaferials.” Davis said he planned to re submit the application at once for beginning construction in the first quarter of 1952. -T - -| O Calvander Variety Projects Carrboro The Calvander Grange with F.
