Recessed at Noon The commissioners recessed at noon for lunch and went back into session in the afternoon to con sider two plans proposed for a new jail. One plan, calling for a building that would cost $50,000, would have only the facilities for a jail. The other plan, involving a two story building, would cost $70,000 The first floor would have offices and the second would contain cells. It was pointed out taat some of the offices in the present court house are already overcrowded and that the building of the two-story structure would, in the long run, save additional expenditure in later years. The plans Were drawn by B. H. Stephens, architect. Money for the construction would have to be bor rowed. Resolution Passed The commissioners passed a reso lution asking that the State High way Patrol radio station at New Bern be repaired and enlarged. The patrol has announced that it intended to abandon the New Bern station and operate solely through the station at Williamston.
