A Movement on Foot 20 Appoint Special
Commissioners TO Take Charge Of the
Work.
GREEEsboRo, Nd, Feb. ga general
topic of conversation, especially in the
upper part of this county, is the question
Of court house improvements. Some tax
payers favor bonds for a new building
others claim that new court house is a
necessity, but they are opposed to the
finance measure proposed, while others
say that the county is not able to build
at this time
A greater controversy is over the propo-
sitlon of few who want special com
missioners to have sole charge of erect
ing a new court house thus debarring
the county commissioners from action.
Opponents to this view believe it proper
FOR the county board to superintend the
construction because II is their duty to
