(la adraoeai HJ4 Carrier. p«r Tear, na advanrM _ U H Word From Bailey Revives Hope For PWA School Work $150,000 Building May Not Be Lost All Plans Approved, With Bill In Senate To Provide The Money. Renewed hope that Shelby may get its $150,000 high school building after all was expressed here today by school officials who have re ceived encouraging informa tion from Senator J. W. Bailey in Washington. Senator Bailey is leader of a group which is seeking to earmark part of the president’s $1,500,000 re lief fund, to be specifically set aside for the completion of PWA projects in the state. The Shelby building was approv ed by the people in a vot» last year, the city agreeing to issue bonds to meet 55 percent of the total cost. The PWA would furnisji the other 45 percent of $67,500. Bailey Says The relief bill passed the House without the earmarking provisions, and is now in the Senate. Mr. Bailey said in part in his letter to Superintendent B. L. Smith: “I in tend to go as far as I can in ear marking the necessary amounts of medley to provide reasonably for Public Works in North Carolina . ■,. The earmarking of new funds would enable us to obtain reasonable ap propriations for these projects . , .■ if the funds are made available, 1 hope they will, I shall take pleas-' ure in doing all I can to forward the project in Shelby.” Complete plans Ibr a building with 24 class rooms, an auditorium, a gymnasium and proper space for libraries, laboratories and other features were submitted to state PWA headquarters and Dr. H. G. Baity, chief has assured local offi cials thftt they were fully approved, and that all lacking is the money. Inference was further made by Senator Bailey and Superintendent Smith that even if the earmarking doesn't go through, the sentiment will be so strong that the president will provide for many of the proj ects anyway.
