Bandits Hold Up Bank,
Flet with $50,000 Booty
COLUMBIA, N. C, Sept. 21.
CPV The East Carolina Bank in
this coastal town was robbed to
day of approximately $50,000 by
six or seven men who lied in an
automobile.
Five bank employes a'ld three
customers were nem up witn pis
tols. The employes said the robbers
were Jive Negroes and "a yellow
skinned short man who may have
been white." The Federal Bureau
of Investigation said in Char
lotte, however, that it was told
there were six Negroes and a
white man.
The escape car W'as abandoned
nine miles from Creswell.
School Board Asks
Bond Issue of $895,000
(Continued from Page One)
would be used to pay off the
bonds.
The six-mill levy for the pres
ent fiscal year, based on the 1S48
49 assessed valuation of $9,92.3.610,
will bring roughly $59,000.
Increased assessments would in
crease the amount of yearly reve
nue under the tax. The valuation
has increased more than $3,000,
, 000 in two vears. In the 1946-47
fiscal year the valuation was $6,.
870,775. In 1947-48 it was $8,258,-
530, or an average Increase of
more than $1,500,000 annually,
said Elliott. Additional increases
would materially lessen the num
ber of years needed in which to
pay off the bond issue, If It is ap
proved by the voters.

cafeteria and a central heating
system, which would provide for
both the High School and Fuller
ton School. This addition would
care for an estimated 1,000 stu
dents. There are at present 628,
and this number Is expected to
climb to 650 by the end of this
year. There is at present a need
for 12 additional class rooms at
the school, Elliott said. The addi
tion, tentatively proposed, would
be an "L" on the north and east
sides, to connect with the present
building.
Eight additional rooms are
projected for Fullerton School.
While Fullerton was not de
signed for convenient expansion,
the addition would be made to
conform with the present struc
ture as much as possible, and
would be built as economically
as possible, said Elliott.
An additional 13 rooms would
be added to Riverside. This
school Is designed for easv ex
pansion, and the work could be
started almost Immediately, so
that additional classroom facili
ties would be available by next
fall, he said.
Edenbower School would be
expanded to include four addi
tional rooms. At Benson School
an assembly and gymnasium are
proposed to be built at the cor
ner of Commercial and East
Third streets on property owned
by the district, directly across
the street from Benson. Rose
School equipment would be in
creased and facilities improved.
The Importance of Inaugurat
ing a building program at this
time was cited In the fact that
each school is greatly overcrowd
ed, and practically every room
accommodates more than 30
children. The enrollment has In
creased 250 to 300 each of the
last three years, and the present
enrollment stands at roughly
2500 students.

Young Couple Murdered
While on Date in Woods
Gl.EN BURNIE, Md., Sept. 21.
Police had only a thin trail
of clues to wprk on today In the
"brutal" murder of a young Glen
Burnle couple who went on a date
Friday and met death.
Police Chief John H. Souers ad
mitted he had no suspects and
very few clues considered import
ant at the moment.
He hoped autopsies on the
bodies of John H. Mahlan, 25,
and Miss Mary C. Kline, 18, today
would give police some new leads.
Their battered and bruised bodies
were found in a clearing in the
woods near here yesterday.
State's Attorney James C.
Morton said today there was
every indication that Miss Kline
had been criminally attacked be
fore she was killed.

Tarpon Springs.
Areas Alerted, Schools Closed
The rich Everglades "Salad

Winds Begin Chaotic Sweep
MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 21. UPl
Miami was under wraps today,
Its people Indoors, its buildings
boarded up as ominously increas
ing gales whistled down almost
deserted streets.
The ocean was churned to milk
shake hue and dashing, churning
breakers washed the famed gold
en sands where millions of visi
tors have basked in the winter
sun.
Palm trees flung their fronds
wildly into the air. Occasionally
a frond or a cocoanut broke loose
and whisked away. The cocoanuts
bounced along like footballs out
of bounds.
Tides began to pile up and lap
ped over the top of seawalls.
All traffic lights were removed
from Miami beach streets but
they weren't needed. Only a few
cars and taxicabs dashed about.
Some drivers appeared wild-eyed
as they hurried along with lum
ber protruding from their autos,
apparently for belated boarding
up-
A fire broke out in a night
club, the BalU as winds threw
palm trees and waves into a
frenzy. For once people were too
busy with other matters to watch
the blaze. Firemen had the fire
to themselves.
The rising tempest brought
special problems for builders of
the hundreds of homes and the
dozen or more hotels and other
structures going up. Lumber was
lashed down, wooden scaffolding
reinforced, and long guylines
sought to steady construction
elevators.
Workers remained home or
took down the last signboards and
lavish advertising signs.
Life In the usually bustling
metropolitan area was at a stand
still. Even funerals scheduled for
today were postponed. Schools
closed, social events and club
meetings canceled.
Hurricane warnings flapped in
the wind.

of South Dakota, which "can't
hold a candle to the Western Ore
gon country."
He told his listeners he "cer
tainly recommended" that they
visit a forest camp on the Ump
qua National Forest, to sleep in
sleeping nags and cook tneir iooa
in the open. The congressman
and his wife had visited a forest
camp recently Intending to stay
only four days; instead they
stayed two weeks.
Road Program Juggled
Answering a Question on the
forest access road program. Ells
worth admitted that It had been
'kicked around a little bit in
Congress In the last session. He
described the efforts he and an
other representative marie to have
a budgetary cut of sts.ooo.-'uo re
stored to the original allotment
of $20,000,000 for the road program.
The Appropriations Committee,
acting on the recommendation of
the Bureau of the Budget, had rut
the access road program to 5.-),-
000.000, "not much more than
enough to complete the current
projects and to maintain the
roads, Ellsworth said. The re
stored appropriation includes
S185.0O0 allotted for the Tiller
Trail Highway.
Regarding the government al
cohol plant at Springfield, Ells
worth explained that the plant
was neciared " surplus and placed
In the hands of the War Assets
Administration. The plant has
been put up for sale and bids for
Its purchase received. The gov
ernment would sell the plant
oniy to people wno would oper
ate It." The plant Is being pro
tected against "destruction and
the U. S. Forest Service has a
"keen Interest" In It.

both the chapel unit and a gym
nasium, but the advisory board
decided to proceed with only the
first unit at present, authorizing
work to be started at once.
More Donations Urged
Additional funds will be re
quired if the project is to be fully
completed. Chairman Flegel said.
He urges persona who have not
yet contributed to the Salvation
Army building fund to mail their
donations at their earliest con
venience. 'This Is a very worthy project
and merits the support of all citi
zens of Roseburg," Flegel said.
"We feel sure we will be able to
raise funds to complete the proj
ect now authorized and to ado the
gymnasium at a later date."
Mosher St. Widening
Proposal Turned Down
(Continued From Page One)
tractors, of J12.918.80 for the
construction of aw extension of
South Jackson Street from Rob
erts to the south city limits, was
accepted. Original engineering
estimates were $13,500.
The question as to how the
cost of the street work would be
assessed was brought up by F.
C. Frear, who owns property on
Jackson, south of Rice Street. He
pointed out that the large amount
of excavation on the upper part
of the project would cost a great
deal more than that on the south
section. He was informed by
City Attorney Paul Geddes the
city charter provides that when
the work is completed, the street
committee would analyze the
costs, and make the assessments
proportionately to the benefits
derived by the abutting property.
Plans and specifications for the
extension of East Washington
street irom Chadwlck to the east
line of Donation Land Claim 39.
calling for a 28-foot width con
crete street 385 feet In length,
were approved. The departure
from the usual 40-foot width was
agreed upon because of the con
tours of the property concerned.
A motion was passed calling for
a resolution to announce the
council's intention of Improving
me street.
The street committee recom
mended against the improvement
of Terrace Avenue from East
Lane Street at this time because
certain property would have to be
purchased and the work could
not be done under the present
budget.
Building Ordered Razed
the council ordered the city
attorney to prepare condemnation
proceedings calling for the tear
ing down of the Hunter building
at 525 Woodward Street. The
council had previously ordered
razing of the building, but time
had been given to move out some
of the articles stored there. So
far, it was reported, no action
has been taken to move out these
articles nor to tear down the
building.
Construction of a building, at
an estimated cost of $1500 as
provided by the budget, to pro
vide shelter for the police car and
motorcycles and other police
equipment, was approved. The
building would be 47 feet long by
12 feet, six Inches wide, and
would be built along the south
side near the east end of the
building. The city manager was
given permission to take quota
tions for construction of a pumice
block building.

the grounds that the proposed

swimming pool would take care
ol that end of town.
Street Cleaning Blocked
The matter of cleaning up the
city, referring principally to
street cleaning, was discussed at
length. It was brought out that
the street sweeper cannot be used
along the streets where cars are
parked day and night. While a
city ordinance prohibits all night
parking, the ordinance has not
been enforced, since there is no
place for cars to park, especially
in the down town sections.
Councilman West proposed
mat parking be eliminated at
night from Jackson Street, be
tween Douglas and Cass, and
from Cass between Jackson and
Stephens, to permit the street to
be cleaned. He also proposed
that garbage cans be placed
along these streets, and that a
campaign be launched to en
courage people to place all papers
or otner garbage in sucn cans.
The matter of merchants pil
ing rubbish on the streets to be
picked up by the garbage truck
was also discussed, but this matter
was left up to the committee
investigating the garbage situa
tion in Roseburg. The city man
ager was instructed to investigate
the cost of attractive garbage
cans to be placed along the street.
A letter from the State High
way Commission was read stating
the commission, at the city's re
quest, would Investigate the pro
posed placing of a traffic signal
at the South Stephen and Lane
Street Intersection.
Mayor Flegel reported he had
written officials of the Grey
hound Lines to the effect Rose
burg was no longer a town of
4000 people and that the need
was pressing that the bus depot
be kept open In Roseburg all
night. At present it is closed
between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., al
though several bus stops are
made here to take on or let off
passengers during the night.
