Vast Sum To Be Spent inCamden Much Interest has been In evidence In Camden and vicinity over the announcement that Uie city of Camden bad received an hllotment from the WPA branch of the federal Works Agency of $91,448, to be expended on streets, sidewalks and sewer construction v within the city, and also tur allotment of $12,688 for work at the Woodward and adjacent airfields. The $91,44S apportionment alloted to the city will be used, It Is believed, principally in the building of water msllUk ' . It Is s well known fact that many of the small mains now in use in the city are inadequate for fire protection purposes In the areas In yrhloh they are located.. This fact was forcibly brought home upon the occasion of several costly fl'res, chief among them being the Benton Sheorn home on Mill street and the Amett home on north Broad street. Because of a small main on each of thdSe streets It was impossible to maintain a sufficient head of water to enable the big fire-pumpers to function, o There has been a persistent demand on the part of property owners and householders for more adequate flreprotectlon. The appropriation Just announced by the Federal government will go a long way to the solving of present problems tn this particular. There has been a growing acceptance of the fact that steps should be taken to construct sidewalks in Camden. Newcomers here have expressed | open amazement over the few walks In evidence In the city. The allotment of $12,633 for the Camden airport will, It Is believed, be used to provide flight lines. ! The training planes at the Southern Aviation School when being warmed up produce a thick and heavy dust cloud. If the engines of the planes can be warmed up when the planes are sitI uated on a hard surface platform, the I dust problem will be eliminated, Weekly News Letter From Liberty Hill I Liberty Hill, Jan. 27.?At the Presbyteriah church Sunday, the morning I service was conducted by Elder N.
