Judge E. Y. Webb, of the West ern district of North Carolina, has been in touch by wire with Solici tor General Crawford Biggs, ex Gove rnor O. Max Gardner, Rep resentative Bulwtnkle and others In an effort to get a sufficient amount . set aside from the public works ap propriation to provide a federal court room at the same time the postoffice Is enlarged,. Mr. Gardner made a personal call on Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Roberts and wired Judge Webb this morning that Mr. Roberts ■ promises to take a personal Interest , In the court room project and do his best to get the appropriation ’ enlarged.

It was thought all the Mine this would provide a court mom a* well aa additional postoffioe space. Later, it was discovered that noth ing is mentioned in the appropria tion bill about a federal court room. Judge Webb has been very active to get the court room and has the backing of officials and others in this district, for they feel that both the poetofflce addition and the court room could be built more economically at the same time than to enlarge the poetofflce now and provide a court, room later. although $85,000 was appropriat ed for the postoffice, twenty thou sand of this will be used to buy real estate from Clyde R. Hoey to the rear of the postoffice for the en largement. This ground was bought about five months ago, but has nev er been paid for. An economy meas ure cut all building appropriations 15 per cent, thus reducing the amount for the federal building here. Architects visiting the Shelby office recently, stated that they think both the addition to the post office and the new court room could be provided with a little more ; money than is now available and that both jobs could be done more cheaply now than to enlarge the postoffice and later build the court room. An effort, therefore, is being made to get the necessary funds from the public works appropria tion Youth Cuts Another In Altercation Here Lawranoe Williams, young em ploye of the Shelby milk plant, was cut about the arm Monday evening by Qpy Hunt, another youth.
