THINKS FUNDS FOR
POST OFFICE FIXED
Congressman Cooley Not
Sure How Much Money
Will, Be Spent on Job
Congressman Harold D. Cooley, or
Nashville, representative of the fourth
district in the national House of Re
presentatives, was a visitor to Hen
derson yesterday, and while here was
asked about the projected enlarge,
ment of the Henderson post office.
The congressman said he was not
entirely familiar with the details, but
understood that the funds for the
work had already been allotted. The
exact amount of the cost of the pro
grairt was not known by Mr. Cooley,
he raid.
Because of the fact that funds are
already allotted, the congressman did
not knov, whether it would be possi
ble at this late date in the procedure
to have plans altered to provide for a
second story addition to the govern
ment building here to permit of ses
sions of Federal court being held here
as has been suggested.
It has been pointed out that coun
ties in this immediate section would
probably furnish enough business for
the district court to justify provision
being made for sessions to be held
here. It is understood the matter has
been laid before Federal Judge I. M.
Meekins, wh 0 now has the matter un
der consideration.
Mr. Cooley indicated he expected
work to start at some early date on
the po'jt office extensions. Just when
that will be, however, is a matter
with government agencies in Wash
ington.
Frequent visits are being made
here by inspectors looking into va
rious phases on the building program.

CLYDE THORN HAS
GONE WITH SCOGGIN
Clyde E. Thorn, well known auto
mobile salesman of Vance county, has
been added to the already capable
sales force of the Scoggin Chevrolet
Co. Mr. Thorn has been connected
with the Legg-Parham Co., for the
past few years and has made prac
tically every auto owner a friend in
Vance county. He is well known thro
ughout the county for his fair real,
ings with those who have bought or
traded cars with him.
“His addition will he quite a step
toward making the sales force of the
Scoggin Cheverolet Co., Henderson’s
leading auto sales force,” said G. R.
Scoggin, manager of the Scoggin
Chevrolet Co. and L. K. Griffith, local
sales manager.
Mr. Thorn invites his many friends
to visit him at his new location.
Undergoes Operation,
County Superintendent E. M. Rol
lins underwent an operation at Watt’s
hospital, Durham, last night, and was
said to be doing as well as could be
expected today. He will be out of his
office at the court house for some
time.
Underwriter Agents Make
Inspections and Find
Facilities Better
A possibility that fire insurance
rates on property in this city may be
lowered at some early date was seen
today in recent visits here of repre
sentatives of underwriters, who have
made an inspection of fire equipment,
hydrants and the like.
Rates are determined to some ex
tent on the basis of equipment. The
size and frequency of location of hy.
drants is a factor. When Garnett
street was re-paved last year larger
hydrants were installed, with larger
feed mains. This gives a larger
stream for hose equipment. And that
permits of a reduced rate on insur
ance, it is understood.
Another suggestion of the under
writers’ agents was that batteries for
the fire alarm system should he in
stalled in a fireproof enclosure, and
it is thought that this can be done
aiso.
Investigators who have been here
made no statemnet, so far as has been
learned, as to any changes that may
take place or rate reductions. But
those who have consulted with them
are hopeful that favorable
may be made in the near future.
