s!! E*!! S-i5r*d'3 Ow Way CarrboroPlanning Street Improvement Construction is expected to begin soon on about $8,000 in street im provements in the town of Carr- boro, Mayor R. B. Todd said-today. Mayor Todd said that the Wil liam Muirhead Construction Co. of Durham will do the work. He said that he hopes the work will sitart “pretty soon, before the cold weath er comes in.” According to the mayor, the con struction will be done on Weaver St., Robertson St., and Lloyd St., and “possibly” on Broad St. He said work would be done on the latter streets “if we have enough money left after the other work.” Financing will come from Powell BUI turnback funds. The Muirhead firm recently began •construction of $50,685 in street improvement's in Chapel HUl. ^ In Raleigh today. The State High way comimission announced that checks totalling $6,477,457.87, are to be maUed Tuesday to the 407 eligible municipalities participating in the allocation of Powell Bill funds, including Carrboro, Hillsboro and Chapel Hill in Orange County. The Powell Bill, passed by the General Assembly in 19.57, author izes the setting aside of a half-cent from the regular six cent tax on each gallon of gasoline, in an effort to aid municipalities in the main tenance of non-system streets. Al location of the funds is made pro portionately to the eligible munici palities, half on the basis of pap ulation and half on the basis of relative non-system mileage. The commission announced these allocations: Carrboro, 1950 population, 1,795; 5.39 miles of non-sy.stem streets; check for $6,346.77. Hillsboro, 1950 population 1,329; 6.13 miles of non-system streets; check for $5,705. Chapel Hill, 1950 population 9.- 177; 28.07 miles of non-,system streets; check for $32,689.53. When the turnback inpneys are not sufficient to cover cost of pro- gramimed work, imunLcipalities oft en make up the difference wiih regular city funds'. In another Carrboro note, the city recently completed construction of i gravelled road to .furnish exit ac res for the town’s new 'elementary school.

A lot depends on the pitching. Ford said. He noted that three 'rankee pitchers having arm trou- bie—Ed “Whitey” Ford, Don Lar sen, and Tom Sturdivant, “have all lOoked good in recent p e r f o r- mances.” He said he doesn’t fores-ee an other three-game winning perfor mance by Brave Pitcher Lew Bur dette, who hurled the Milwaukee team to victory last year. “That only happens once in a great while,” he 'said. He also predicted that Yankee aces Bob Turley and Ryne Duren would have a tough time in the se ries, Duren especially because “he throws nothing but fast balls and in the Series, everyone waits for the fast one.” Mr. Ford pitched with New York four years starting in 1910 and later performed in the ill-fated Federal League.
