SEEKS NRA REPORT ON FORD | | | City Retires $50,000 on September 1 Increasing Margin Thereby SEEK BEST BARGAIN Loan Application /s Authorized Today By Committee Athens will immediately apply to the federal public works board for a SIOO,OOO loan for. municipal improvements, it was aecided to day at a meeting of a joint com mittee representing eity council and the board of education. Mayor A. G. Dudley presided at the meeting. . The public works proposed here will include improvement of the waterworks, extension of water and sewer mains, and additions to school buildings, both white and Negro. Formal application for the loan will be filed with the federal board in Georgia at once. An effort will be made to have the board sit in Atheng for a hearing on the local application and others that have been filed by towns in this im mediate territory. The board has adopted a policy of holding hear ings in different parts of the state. Pending the public works board’s decigion on the Athens application city council next Friday night will be given an opportunity to call a bond election, because the city must issue bonds whether g fed eral loan is ohtained to make the improvements proposed here, or the money is obtained from sale of honds in the open market, accord ing to information in the hands of the joint committee. Requires Notice If council authorizes a bond elec tion, the date will probably b€ the same as the next municipal pri mary, in November. Therefore, it will be necessary to give notice within the next few days to meet the legal requirements. governing such an election, The city administration has not vet decided whether to sell the bonds to the federal public works department, the ‘procedure which must be followed where a loan is granted under the NRA act, or whether to sell the bonds some where else. This decision - will await more complete information of conditions which the govern ment lays down for public works loans. . It is understood that certain re quirements of the public works administration may make a gov ernment loan less advantageous to Athens than sale of the bonds in open market, where they always Teceive a premium. On the other hand, it 1s believed by some that the government public works loans will eventually be cancelled. The government will give ithirty per cent of each loan back to the lo cal government obtaining it but according to available information, the thirty per cent returned as a gift represents a reduction after the interest is added. Under thati condition, it is not yet clear whe-. ther a city like Athens, which can sell its bonds at a premium, will gain more by obtaining a govern-‘ ment loan than following the usual brocedure for public works. ‘ File Application | However, the committee decided t%mt the next step to take is to file formal application for the amount which will be required to (Continued On Page Three) ‘ Policeman Slain, Another Wounded As Bandits Get Away With $30,000 SOUTH ST.

Chief Webber, a man of more than 200 pounds who stands six feet one in hig stocking feet, has a local reputation as a skilled boxer and trainer of amateur box ers. ‘ The Sands Point club ip the out skirts of Port Washington, where the senator was knocked down by a man whose identity the Louisia na Kingfish did not learn, is with in the police district under com mand of Chief Webber, Identity Sought Since the fight, concerning which the utmost secrecy was maintained by members of the club and guests at she charity function to which Benator Long was invited, there !has been continual speculation as ‘to the identity of the man who |laid the southern senator low. l For a time there was general be ’lief that a prominent New York |architect was the man, but he fin lally satisfied questioners that this !was a mistake.

Virginia to Have Beer Labor Day, Votes on Re peal October 3 SEATTLE, Wash. —(AP)—'Twe thirds of the 36 states needed to erase 'the 18th amendment from the Constitution were Hned up Wednesday, Washington following 23 others into the repeal column. None of the states which have voted favored retention of prohi bition. Only one legislative distriet the Ninth, in rural eastern Wash ington, voted dry on the. basis of available returns. The district will have only two of the 99 dele gates who will meet October 3 at Olympia t¢ ratify the decisicn of the voters. The popular vote from 1,924 of the states 2682 precincis rolled up a total of 316,064 wet ballots to 132,259 cast for dry candidates. The statewide total, however, had no bearing on the outcome, as delegates were chosen by legisla tive districts, an election arrange ment, which wet leaders attacked during the campaign. Repealists contended the dis trict method was put over by a dry bloc in the senate which they alleged forced this concession as the price of their support ih pro viding for the repeal election. The asserted repeal handicap, howev er, was pot apparent in the result for while final returns might switch an isolated district or two from the wet to the .dry side, there was no possibility the re tentionists could cut in materially on the overwhelming majority of wet delegates.
