By manly struggle and sacrifice on part few of It's
citizens Hendersonvile has received considerable
advertising which reaped fairly good re-
comparatively of citizens bore the burden
The burden grows heavier afu workers are not in
'reasng rapidly The time GOMEZ nothing but
proper and right well necessary people as whole
help bear the burden of keeping Henderonve the map as
health and pleasure resort It reasonable to expect
lew to continue to do this work.
The commercial organizations nggay supported have by
faithful work kept the city the map
If Hendersonvie expects have rood season this summer
she must do more advertising than n the past
All our citizens instead of few reap the
1ng Who shall bear the burden? Shall few faithful ones
bear the commercial cross the ightiads go free?
1t is high time for change The change the
lew faithful will make it, The legislature session
should have it amend charter levy advertising
lax from to year This done without working
on any person and the equae the of
advertising among those who reap the results would
not cost the $4,000 property more than the
of $40

cent would that for every only penny would
De leyled Tor advertising listing $1,000
would pay only 81 for helping hold position as resort
city This would not be burden any property owner The
levy could be larger smaller people see fit
An advertising tax has made Ashevle
It would do Henderonyle and eouaiza the r
den borne by few
The faithful have of continuous burden If
support not given them they will despair An adve
tising tax is the solution
meeting will be Friday night at the court house
with the city commissioners present duty of Hen
Jacksonville people attend and give expression their views
to whether the city liberal appropra

amended to provide advertising year year.
We have heard objection from source advertising
lax but have heard many citizens endorse it.
