In places trucks and wagons were parked today still unloaded and with great piles of the golden weed stack ed high on them awaiting sale. On Garnett street and on many side streets it was almost impossible to find parking space. Motorists had to go far out on the side streets to find places for their cars to rest while they attended to business matters. There was no official estimate of the poundage on hand for the day, nor was there any accurate predictions as to price averages, although it was thought tobacco was bringing a very high price. COMPLETE SURVEY Highway Engineers To Pre pare Data for Commis sion’s Action Later Engineers of the State Highway and Public Works Commission late Saturday afternoon completed their survey of the proposed underpass that would connect Charles and Church streets, running across North William and North Garnett streets and under neath the main line tracks of the Sea board Air Line railroad. Mayor Irvine B. Watkias, who has done a lot of hard work and given much time to the project, said today he was optimistic over the prospecs of an allotment of Federal funds for this purpose. He will call a special session of the City Council, he said, to authorize a small bond issue to pur chase the necessary property for the underpass. That is the only cost the city will have to incur in the under taking. It is estimated that the work to he done will cost from $125,000 to $150,- 000. The mayor said he was anxious to have the Council authorize the bond issue to buy ’;’~e property so that this information could be placed before the State Highway and Public Works Commission at its next meeting when the underpass project will be up for consideration.
