Henderson-Oxford Road

May Be Widened Shortly Probability that the State High-:

way Commission will widen the lien-

dcrson-Oxlord highway between Ox- j lord aiul the Vance county line in1

the near future is being discussed,! uccorU'iig tu advices from Oxford. I

The agitation, arose following a visit j

to Ox lord Wednesday of S. M. l!ason,! i>l Yancevville, district hiuhway com-

missioner, and otiier member:- ol his'

.stall' i?i the fifth district. In 'lit party vi-itmg Oxford were,

in addition to Mr. IJason. District!

Engineer Curton, of iicidsville. Di-j visional Engineer Praetor of Durban., j and Dave Thomas, chief equipment engineer of the fifth division.

Frequent checks of the flow of

traffic over the Hender. on-Oxford

highway have been made in recent

months, il is slated, and these show

the need for increased highway facil- ities over this route.

Agitation in the fourth district, in-

including Hi.nder.--on, lor widening improving U. S. No. 1 between fien-

-.ii r.\ >n and the Virginia line, has been

under way for some time, and pre-

liminary surveys have been made.

It is thought to be a possibility that this project might be expanded to

im.iude the Vance side of the Hen-

derson-Oxford highway, which js also in the fourth district.

Registration Books Open In Precincts

Party leaders, together with the

lew local candidates with opposition, are concerned over the lack of in-

terest shown in the new registration of voters for the coming primaries of Saturday, May 25, and are en-

deavoring to roil.1-'.' the people to the necessity of getting their names on Hit new books if they would par- ticipate in the voting.

I\o definite figures are available as to the number of names that have been put on the new books so far. Last Saturday was the first day the books were open at the precinct poll- ing places. They will be open at triout-

places again tomorrow and Satur-

day week, May 11. Citizens may re- gister at any other time during the period by contacting the registrars. Some estimates are that not much

more than 1,000 names have been listed throughout the county, includ- ing the five city precincts. Ordinarily the county casts more than 5,000 votes in a primary election, so that it is believed only about a fifth or the eligible voters have as yet qualified to take part in the primary.
