Elkridge Gets Another Boost Elkridge, Kent Miller's being to die jumping wc Citation is to the flat world. The dispatch from 1 and which is of interest in Cam den follows: t ' "Elkridge has brought a meas ure of distinction to the Steeple chase sport through the 11-year- old gelding's remarkable exploits throughout nine campaigns. “Returning to competltio: the $7,500 Beverwyck St< chase Handicap here, had won 28 races in exactly 1 starts, including 24 stakes. “Kent Millers highly esteemed and durable 'chaser was on the brink of becoming the first of the class ever to amass earnings of $200,000. He was the world’s lead ing money winner among the jumpers with gleanings of $194,- 755. This stacks up as impressive ly as the winner of $1,000,000 for a flat horse. “Elkridge is as popular among the ’chase set as Citation is with flat racing followers. “Elkridge, a pet of the Miller family, was a bargain purchase, having been bought for $4,100 out of the Hitchcock dispersal at Pim lico in the fall of this three-year- old season. “He started only once at 3, win ning an overnight. The remark able thing about this fencer is that he has won in every one of his season.’’ Another Appeal From Hungary Still another appeal has come from Hungary to a person whose name was seen in The Camden Chronicle. Mrs. G. B. McKinnon, of Evans, Ga., has sent to The Chronicle a letter which she re ceived from the same place the other letters came and written in the same handwriting. Mrs. McKinnon visited her mother in Camden and The Chronicle carried a personal about it so in this way her name was secured. Hangar Notes Last Wedr^day'afternoon Zeb V. Grubb of Lextogton, N. C. left Daytona Beach, ton, N. C., in a war sur biplane, within i force , On his failure to arrive a reasonable time, the air notified. They of their planes to called out the Civil Ai assigned _ Air Patrol in North and South CanoUna. Each wing was assigned an area ‘ to search by air. Three planes from Camden par ticipated. These were manned by Li George Bigbee, Claude Wil liams, Capt David Harter, Lt. Mary L. Harter, Capt. Henry Bag- ley, Lt Margaret Stuart The search by the South Carolina Wing was directed by CoL Pride Ratterree of Rock Hill over the CAP short wave radio station. Participating units could receive and talk to headquarters and oth er units over their own stations, of which South Carolina has a growing network. Robert Allen, of. Camden Squadron reported that he saw on Wednesday afternoon a black byplane <with retracted gear doing a slipping turn low to the north of Camden, which helped to nar row the search to the north of Camden. Others in North Caro lina reported of seeing a plane of this description along the route in North Carolina. This allowed the coordinators to concentrate the search between Lexington and the most northerly point reported. Mr. Grubbs body was finally found in High Rock Lake, near the bridge across the Yadkin river between Salisbury and Lex ington, by some fishermen, about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The cause of the accident is ttnknown. It was reported that Mr. Grubb had had only about seven hours of solo time in this type aero plane, which was not in the light plane class. He purchased several war surplus planes at' Camden over a year ago and was known by a number of local people.

There is an ur gent need for the project- PsTt of North Broad street is only 30 m fence to fence. In the the city has a chance to big improvement made ralively little money. It a good opportunity that would undoubtedly ap- the necessary funds for , work whether the street im provement bonds were authorized item of $7,500 for alley and driveway paving is another which we believe will pay big dividends in reduced maintenance cost a rut in addition will make the city streets much cleaner than it is now possible to keep them. ‘1 think there are few if any who will challenge the long term wisdom of the item of $10,000 for street trees. Our existing trees are unquestionably one of our greatest assets. What would Cam den be without them? But they have been too long neglected and many have become dangerous. There are areas where there are none. Those areas don’t look like part of Camden. For ourselves and posterity we should not delay getting suitable street tree plant ing done in those areas. •That leaves for consideration the $113,500 allocated for street paving. We hope and expect that this, together with that being and planned to be done by the State Highway Department will give a serviceable surface treated paving to all the built up streets of the city. Our engineers estimate that having these streets paved will re duce our street department ccfsts fay a minimum of $10,000 per y Tliat is a very good return on the proposed investment. For that* reason we think it is good busi ness for the city. “Of course we do not plan to pave Undeveloped streets without substantial contributions from the adjacent owners. We wish to serve the people living along the streets but we do not wish to en hance the value of anyone’s real estate development without reas onable compensation from him. “We do not propose to curb and gutter any streets without the cost of this work being bourne by the abutting owners. The same is true of paved sidewalks. We don’t feel that these projects justify themselves in reduced mainten ance costs. Few people realize that curbs and gutters cost more than paving. Concrete sidewalks also cost more than surface treatment pavements. “Although we are and will con tinue to be open to conviction otherwise on the point, we are of the opinion that »this < paving should be done in order of im portance as shown by the recent nrame survey of the city and the HEATERS Let us take care of your heater problems with an OIL HEATER " v •cleaner •economical • more even heat •like a piece of furniture • Bowl-type Electric Circulating Hooter convenient carrying handle ONE OF OUR FINE COKE HEATERS Fill twice a day and worry no more .... so economical! ! !

In setting such a priority for fic problem of the city and only secondarily to the people living on that particular street “2. To Meet the aM requires a petition from ty of the would. . priority of paving above and would mpke proper integration of a doubtful. “3. On the existing paving the taxpayers paid through the ctiy*s one half of the cost of such pav-. ing from at least as much as all the way to two or three times as much on it as we expect to on any of the proposed (In the case of the WPA the taxpayers who contributed was the federal taxpayers). “4. Many of our streets will be paved by the State Highway De partment, and council designates which ones. We do not like the idea of our designations one block for state paving without assess ment and the next one for city paving with assessment. “5. Most people who have pave ments now have had them tor as long as these pavements were designated to last They have got ten their nioney’s worth (plus the 60% contributed by the city). They would not expect us to as sess them again to repair these streets or resurface them. If they would be consistent they should not object to the city paving the streets of those who nave without paving all these years and all the while assisting in pay ing for their paving. “6. The program is relatively all in money. To pave substan- ily all of the developed streets of the city is going to cost con siderably less than a third of the cost of the original nine miles of asphalt streets put down in the 1920’s. Assessments for all the paving we propose would ' only shift from the taxpayers to the individual property owners a maximum of about $50,000. Per capita that is less than 50 cents per year in principal and interest. That is less than the cost of a car a year to get a good in- paved street system throughout the city. “Finally if we were to under- ike to ameea the abutting own- , s to shift this $50,000 over to them we would have to determine ■ the frontage of each own- les and miles, une his exalt per foot cost. **ounte tor his amessment ftTui collect oenodicallv frnm through the rear*.
