Project To Widen Tharpe Street At Raa School Slated appeared yesterday before Leon asked if the County would road from Quincy highway Mabry Industrial Park. City Commissioners earlier this week agreed they would construct a 36-foot wide street without curb and gutter to the firm's property at the company's expense.

County Commissioners wouldn't say yes nor would they say 110 to the reguest but from discussions by the Commissioners themselves it looks like they will throw the road problem back to the city. ROAD ASSUMED J. E. Allen of Jacksonville, the trucking company's representative, said "we assumed when we bought the property we would get a paved road that is what we understood. But we awoke to an alarming consensus that it was a dirt road and that won't work for our trucks." Commissioner J.

G. Whiddon said it "sounds like misrepresentation by the city and they have shirked their duty there (at the Industrial Park)." Commissioner J. Christie Hall said "this is a most unique re-' quest and I suggest we take it under consideration and get advice. We won't have any secondary road money for two years and what we have is pledged." "The city should pave those streets to make it (the Park) attractive to builders," chimed in Commissioner H. G.

Easterwood. JUDGMENT ERROR Stan M. Christovich, also of Jacksonville, and an official of the company, said "we made an error judgment. We plan to move into the new building July 30 but have been holding off to see what can be done about the roadway. If we can't, we'll have to go in the alone.

If city puts the road in for the City will maintain it. these said. Nothing has been graded yet except for construction purposes." Allen and C. V. Pinson.

who operates the firm's present office at 661 West Gaines Street, outlined the firm's new building at the Park. Allen said the new building is worth $100.000 and that land, new trucks, furniture, will bring the value to between $200,000 and $225.000. Allen amitted from the start that "if an error occurred, it's our fault and we assume the blame. Since Leon County and Tallahassee wants to attract new industry, it was our desire to build our new terminal facility here. We went to the city and purchased property at the Park.

We were told we would get lights, power and roads, but that we would have to use septic tanks for about two years before being connected to sewers." He said that present payroll for 1959 is $60.000 with employment of 24 persons. He estimated salaries will run about $200.000 a year when the new terminal is in operation. Pinson said he had contacted the other property owners in the area that would benefit from the paved road but no agreement had been reached. The trucking firm said it has about one-fourth of the footage involved. WCTV Plans Switch To CBS Network Television Station WCTV will switch from the National Broadcasting Company to the Columbia Broadcasting System network on Sept.

20. Station Mgr. Joe Hosford said the move is being made to bring better programs to viewers in the North Florida, South Georgia and Alabama areas served by WCTV. Hosford said arrangements are being made to continue programming some of the better NBC network telecasts on a "per program basis." The station will also continue to carry some ABC film programs. He said negotiations are now underway to determine which NBC programs will be carried in this area but Hosford said he is hopeful that all the more popular programs will continue.

He explained that few live CBS programs have been carried in the past because both the Albany, Ga. TV station and WCTV are NBC affiliates and to make a change to CBS for any given program, both stations had to agree to it. An illustration of this was the Bluegrass Bowl game in Kentucky last winter, which was arranged only after weeks of negotiation with the Georgia station. Two of the most popular CBS shows, Gunsmoke and Ed Sullivan. have, always been on WCTV, but they are on film and are a week or two later than the network shows when seen here.

Other highly rated CBS shows not now seen here include Desilu Playhouse, Playhouse 90, I Love Lucy, Phil Silvers Show and Have Gun, Will Travel. Another Shopping Center Is Planned Another shopping center April of next year if plans The University Plaza Shopping Center at the corner of Tennessee street and High road will include a grocery store, A inundromat. drug store, and possibly a bowling alley and a junior department store, accord- 50,000 Acres In Gulf Brings $1,991,675 WEWAHITCHKA, -Almost 50,000 acres of Gulf County land has been sold for $1,991,675 in one of the largest such transactions in the history of the county.

The tract, principally pinelands and swampy areas, lies mainly west of Florida Highway 71, which connects Wewahitchka and Port St. Joe. Court records showed that $400.00. was paid immediately with the remainder to be paid in 12 semi-annual installments at 6 per cent interest.

Youth Caught In Building A young would-be burglar was surprised by police early this morning as he was wandering around inside the North Florida Gas Corp. Police said that an officer in a patrol car noticed that the building had been broken in to and called E. T. Bell, credit manager of the corporation, to unlock the front door. As officers entered the building, the boy ran out the back.

He was quickly caught by police. He had broken out A rear window to gain entrance. The name of the boy was not released because he is a juvenile. His age was listed as 16. He has been put in jail, pending transfer of the case to juvenile authorities.

Lt. James F. Bennett and Officer Edward C. Donley made the arrest. will open in Tallahassee in progress as expected.

ing to H. C. Burber, president of University Plaza Inc. At least one and possibly three more businesses may also be 1o- cated at the center. Barber said a group of Tallahassee businessmen, the Investors Development Association, bought the land for $92,500.

The University Plaza corporation will handle development of the center, he said. The sale was handled by the real estate agency of Symon, Tully, and Booth, Inc. The original binder was put on the property in April, but the deal was not closed out until this week. The land was purchased from Hazen. No leases have yet been signed for the property, but Barber said he expects that all the land will be leased by the end of September.

In addition to the 48,000 square foot area for the buildings, the center plans A 320-car parking lot. Had A Good Reason For Being Absent Leon County Commissioner Thomas I.

Dr.

Guenter Schwarz. professor of physics and director of an institute for the teachers, said 14 states are represented. Several of the teachers are Florida and plans are in progress to begin using the course in Miami, Tampa, and Tallahassee among other cities. The physicist recently returned from Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he worked for nine months with numerous other scientists and educators on some phases of the new course. Over a period of several years the Physical Science Study Committee put millions of dollars in granted funds into building an ideal textbook and teaching aids for the course.

Of the 35 attending the sixweek summer institute closing this week 30 are here on stipends of the National Science Foundation which pay their expenses. The states represented are Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Texas, Hawaii, Alabama, Maryland, Colorado, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Arkansas and Iowa. During the fall and spring FSU will hold a series of weekly institutes in Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville in which an estimated 75 additional teachers will receive instruction in the new physics course, These in turn are expected to make the course available to between four and five thousand Florida high school students.

After attending the University of Florida and teaching in Florida high schools, he joined Gulf Life Insurance Company as an agent in 1930.

Fire Destroys Car Near City Fire destroyed a car behind the Capital Drive-In Theater early this morning. Firemen were called to the blaze about 1:05 a.m., but the fire had already destroyed the car. The owner of the car has not yet been found, but the department has the license number.

A rubbish fire at 1307 Old Bainbridge Rd. was out when firemen arrived at 3:50 p.m. yesterday. Joint work on widening Tharpe Street to the new Raa Junior High School by Tallahassee and Leno County may begin late this week or early next week. This decision was reached yes terday when Tallahassee City Manager Arvah B.

Hopkins conferred with County Commissioners. All agreed the project was urgent and that it should be com pleted before the opening of school In September. But still underlying the project was who Was to do what and for how much. Commissioners early this month said because they had no cash to give to the project they would agree to provide half of the labor and equipment. a The City also had agreed to do its share but officials said they also preferred to provide labor and equipment instead of materials or cash, which the city doesn't have either.

Hopkins said looks like we'll have to provide the material aS well as some equipment and labor." However, yesterday all seemed to reach some agreement and come what may the project will get done. Hopkins said he WAS prepared to begin work today but County Road Supt. Capt. E. J.

Bradshaw said his forces couldn't do that because they will have to be pulled from work now in progress throughout the county, M. O. Harrison, principal of Raa School, last week appeared before Commissioners and said the School Board could possibly lend either the County or the City money to do the work but no aCtion was taken on the offer. Commissioner H. G.

Easterwood said what irritated him was the continued requests by the School Board to do work which the Board had taxing power to do itself. Easterwood's views were backed by County Attorney J. Lewis Hall who said "you've got a point." The cost of emergency widening of Tharpe without sidewalks is estimated at $7,500 in materials, labor and equipment. Hopkins pointed out that Tharpe Street originally was paved 20 feet in a 66-foot right-of-way by the State Road Department from money in the County's "farm-tomarket" or secondary road fund. He said the road should be widened to 40 feet and that drains and paving be installed from Old Bainbridge Road to Monroe Street "but it would be impossible to do it in the time left even if we had the money." Big underlying current is the view by the City that the road 1s 8 County road because it was built by County's "farm-to-market" money the County feels a City road because it 1m inside the city limits.

Whatever the view, Tharpe Street will get widened but 1t looks as if the School Board may have to install the sidewalks. Hopkins told Commissioners the City began work Tuesday on Boulevard Street between 10th Avenue and Tharpe Street. Nelson D.
