It Davis, home after a quick trip to Washington. D. C , for cross-examination Monday on the city's request for a natural gas allotment, said he felt the city's request will obtain final approval from the Federal Power Commission within 30 to 60 days. Mr. Davis said the Monday hearing before the FPC was short, and that there was little opposition to the request of the City of Kings Mountain for an allotment of natural gas from the Transcontinental Pipeline Company's big line on York, Road. The principal previous objec tor to the city's request. Public Service Company of North Caro lina, did not appear for the hearing. Objections to the Kings Mounta:.: fequest, which Mr. Da vis termed "minor," were voiced by attorneys for Thomas Edison Company, and by representativ es of coal trade associations. "We're going to get it," Mr. Davis said, adding the decision to make permanent the previ ously granted tentative allot ment of more than a million cu bic feet of natural gas per day should be forthcoming soon. The latest survey and construc- I tion proposal of Barnard & Burk, the city's engineers on the gas matter, indicates the city can ?build a natural gas distribution system for $515,000. The city plans to build the system via issuance of revenue bonds, which would not be a general obligation of the city. The Barnard & Burk survey shows potential demand for gas service would be economically feasible, that is, the city could pay the interest on the bonds, re tire the bonds over a period of 300-years and still retain a pro fit ? all at rates competitive with other fuels. Several business firms have in dicated a desire for the service and are willing to take it on an interrupt ible basis, the survey shows. Cherryville Church Sets Week Services Bishop Ralph S.

Pay Claims Drop To 362 Shows Situation Better Franklin Ware, manager of the Kings Mountain branch of the North Carolina Employment Ser vice, predicted this week a gen eral leveling of unemployment in Kings Mountain at 350 to 400 per sons for the "next several weeks". Mr. Ware made the statement against a background of dropping unemployment compensat ion claims totals, wnich last week to taled only 362, including 45 ini tial claims. The figure will be slightly high, er for the current week, Mr. Ware said, due to partial layoffs at Kings Mountain Manufacturing j Company, but generally the Job j situation in Kings Mountain is | better than it has been for sev eral weeks. Slater Manufacturing Company has been adding a few employees to its labor force, and Neisler's Margrace plant has also recalled a number of persons previously on part-time work schedules.
