Ex-Service Men Started Mailing Ap

Just a short time alter I i '
day's edition of The Star rear li
ed the streets, informing that
the bonus bill had passed the
Vnited istates senate, Shelby and
Cleveland county ex-service men
began filling out and mailing
their applications for loans on
the service certificates.
The bonus bill entitles World war
veterans to borrow half of their total
bonus, provided, oi course, 22. 1-2
percent oi the bonus has not al
ready been borrowed. Four and one
half percent interest will oe clta:.'
ed, and the total .bonus of the av
erage veteran is SI.000, which means
that the average ex-sen ice wan will
not receive $500. if he lias not- al -
ready borrowed a portion of. it.
Those who have already - oorrpwt d

new bill, will receive $270.
doing In Fast.
By Friday night several score of
j applications had already been fined
■ and mailed here. Over the week-end
i the number, it is estimated .ran:
considerably over 100.
[ Total Money.
A general estimate is that ap
proximately 600 Cleveland veteran
will take advantage of the loan plan.
Approximately 200 of the 000 have
already borrowed their 22 1-2 per
cent. while arouncl 400 will be aide
to borrow half of their total vouch
er. This being the case, and figur
ing the average certificate worth
$1,000, approximately $227,000 will
come to this county within a few
weeks.
Preparations were already faade
tc handle the distribution and early
applicants expert to get their bonus
money within a short period of
time.
The news of the passage in the
senate, by a vote of 76 to 17 over
the Hoover veto, was the cause of
much rejoicing on the party of ex
service men and their relatives irt
this section. Immediate action fol
lowed as veterans Aislted the service
officer of the Legion post here and
others to begin sending tlielr certi
ficates away.
In local business circles the pay
ment of half the bonus is expected
to cause general activity. Many of
the veterans who will apply now are,
in need of money and a oig per
centage of the estimated quarter of
a million here will go to pay off..
debts and square accounts. That,
however, will mean a turn over of
new money, and quite a sum will
undoubtedly, go into lots, farm
lands, homes, clothing, automobiles
small businesses and other tiling,
to stimulate business conditions
Although veterans get the full nai:
of their certificate value now the
interest for the period of 15 years
until 1945 will eat up a major por
tion of the remaining half. The av
erage veteran who gets $5iiC cf hi
$1,000 will have only around $200
left of the remaining, amount after
the interest is deducted.
Many county veterans will receive
considerably more than the $500.
which is half the worth of the av
erage veteran’s certificate. Numer
ous Cleveland veterans have service
certificates worth $1,500 and more
due to a long period of service.

Highways, Thus Removing
Road Taxes,
Raleigh, Mar. 2:—After killing ev
ery amendment not accepted by the
senators sponsoring the administra
tion measure, and after hearing far
more arguments and •tory
against the bill than for it. the Sen
ate Friday passed the Connor road
bill by a second reading roll call
vote of 42 to 5. It was an even
greater victory for Governor Gard
ner’s proposal than he or any of his
legislative lieutenants. within or
without the senate, had expected.
Before voting down major amend
ments and passing the road bill, the
senate killed by a vote of 35 to 11
the substitute bill which opponents
of the measure had prepared. This
bill provided for the same I money
for the counties that the -{ p|>nnor
bill does but called for state super
vision of the county road rriainten
ance instead of having '. the ^tatc
take over the roads itself. There also
were other differences.
Though there were several sen
ators who preferred the • substitute
bill to tl^e Connor bill but prefer
red the latter to nothing, the' sub
stitute was killed by the folio wing
roll call vote:
Voting for the substitute: Sena
tors Baggett. Bernard. Burras. Burt
Campbell. Clarkson. Clement, Hardy,
Hinsdale, Jones. Umstead.
Voting against the substitute: fc u
ators Bennett. Blount. Clark. Dortch
Dutilay, Folger, Gower, Gravely,
j Grief, Gwyn, Harmon. Hatchett,
Haywood. Hendren, Hicks, Horton.
Johnson, McSwain, Peel, Powell,

Uzzell, Ward of Beaufort, Ward of
Craven, Whedbee, Williams, Zolli

Absent: Grant. McKee. Lynch,

Connor Bill Vole.
On the Connor bill itself the only
five voting against the bill were
Senators Baggett, Clarkson. Clem
ent, Hinsdale and Urns tea cf. On this
vote Senators Campbell, Bernard
and Gram were not in the hall af
the time. Of those absent on the
first roll call. Senators McKee,
Lynch and Nixon were present and
voted for the bill. All others not
named voted for It.
Most important of the amend
ments adopted was the Gravely
amendment which provided that
convict labor should not be used in
road work when Its cost exceeded
the cost of free labor in the districts
where the work w as being done. This
amendment may not receive the
house concurrence and its adoption
may mean that the bill will have to
go to conference, in the opinion of
Judge N. A. Townsend, one of the
governor’s lieutenants in putting
the bill across.
Another Gravely amendment, ac
cepted in the committee, strength
ened the bill's provision that coun
ties should levy no road tax. by pro
viding that the gross levy of the
respective counties should be reduc
ed by the amount of its 1930 road

“The secretary of the treasury and

The *85,000 will be used tor in
creating the size of the first floor
of the present office and adding a
third story to the building to be used
as a federal court room and as of
ficers for federal court officials.
Had Been Sought.
Federal Judge E. Yates Webb,
Congressman Chan. A. Jonas, and
Postmaster J. H. Quinn have been
working hard for some time.for this
appropriation so that needed addi
tions might be made to the post of
fice here.
For several years, due to the rapid
growth of Shelby, the present work
ing space on the main floor of till
ofiica has not been sufficient. Ever
since Shelby was established as t,h«
center of a new federal court district
the district court has been held ta
the county court house through th*
courtesy of the county commission
ers. Eventually federal authorttlei
had hoped to Increase the size of thi
federal building so that a court roaiu
might be provided there. When ad
ditional working space became nec
essary it was decided to ask for as
appropriation sufficient to enlarge
the working space ami erect a third
floor to be used as a cdUrt room.
Not until last week did those work
ing for the appropriation have anj
idea when it wtkild be made al
though it had ben understood that
the need for enlargement here was
so urgent that it was recognized in
Washington,
Complete By 1933.
Just when the appropriation will
be made available and construction
work can begin is not known, but
Postmaster Quinn stated today thal
every effort would be made to get
the appropriation as soon as possi
ble. He is optimistic enough, he said,
to believe that construction work
may be ready to start before this
fall. If not. he expects to se it be
gin early in the spring of 1932, and
seems confident that It will be com
pleted by the fall of 1932.
Approximately 20 feet wlU be add
ed to the main floor at rear of th«
present building, according to pro
posed plans. Then a third floor,
large enough for a court room and a
number of offices, will also be add
ed.
The appropriation of *85,000 as
sures a handsome addition to ths
building when it is remembered*that
the original appropriation for ths
present building, erected in 1917, was
only $40,000. In other words, the ap
propriation for an addition and im
provements is only a little shy ol
being twice the original cost of
the building. In erecting post offices
and other public buildings the gov
ernment always builds with the idea
of taking care of 10 years’ growth.
The present building having been
erected 13 years ago with no addi
tions since, although Use postal busi
ness has increased greatly, is
thought to have been one factor in
securing an early appropriation.
Other allocations made in North
Curolina were:
Nprth Carolina: Albemarle *83,
000; Asheboro, $90,000; Dunn, *85,.
