Fire Chief E. K. Ingram announced that Metal Stamping Works owned by Logan Porter, Sr. and run by Logan Porter, Jr. would receive a $4600 building permit to add to their plant at the corner of Roy street and the proposed Byrum street. The permit is issued under a July 30 city council resolution granting an easement with the condition that if the street segment is reopened Porter must tear down the portion of the building on 30 feet of city property at his expense. The move ends a month long dispute over private construction on city land near the High Point Denton and Thomasville railway.

Snyder Says Mayor Did Not Order Sappenfield Fired
Reese Snyder, acting director of city parks, says he terminated Fred Sappenfield, former Blair Park golf course manager, not under orders from Mayor Arnold Koonce. The firing followed an argument over a 20 cent tennis court fee and an incident where Sappenfield attempted to have the mayor arrested. Both men disagree on profanity used but agree Koonce refused payment, arguing the courts were in poor condition and he acted as a private citizen.

Hose Worker Bonus Plan Sent To WLB
A plan to grant a 6 percent wage increase to 600 boarders was rejected by the WLB. In response, twelve hosiery plants propose a 5 percent “anti absenteeism” bonus for workers clocking 40 hours weekly, with forfeiture for unexcused absences. The plan awaits a federal ruling, potentially weeks away, as absenteeism slows war goods output and a June walkout at High Point boarders prompted conciliator talks.
