Let's Go! Here S
the Beginning!
City Council Has
An Interesting and
Profitable Meeting
Instructs Resolution be. Presented to
General Assembly Asking for .Au-
thority to Issue Bonds for Municipal
Building and to Extend Corporate
Limits.

The City Council Tuesday night
took a decidedly progressive step in
making start towards meeting the
urgent needs of progressive city by
presenting a resolution asking the
General Assembly to allow the city Of
High Point to issue bonds for a rnu-
ncipal building not to exceed $500. 900.
It IS the purpose of the Council to
erect a modern administrative Luild-
ing that will not only be credit to
the city, but will also meet Gn 'lrgent
need in housing the various depart
lnents of this rapidly growing city.
Every citizen should say 'a. en-" to
this.
Another resolution of cry i'm
poltant nature was to instruct the
city attorney to draw a bill TO presenC
to the special session of the legisla-
ture convening next week allowing the
voters aected to pass upon the mat
ter Of extending the corporate limits
Of the city, the distance to be deter
mined later.
High Point is growing so fast these
days that the narrow confines of 4
nile each way, or four square miles
to be exact, is too small. We are too
,Tamped, ana must have breathing
space. The territory to be embraced
will benefit greatly by the enlarge
ment and there should be no serious
objection. We must look at the mat
ter in a. broad, patriotic standpoint,
aside from temporary dollars and
cents. We believe the people will be
for the project when they realize the
vast benefits that Will come to them
and theirs as the years go by. when
they study the matter in an inportant
manner.
These two important matters were
the outstanding features in the ad-
journed meeting Tuesday night.
Six inch water mans were ordered
put down on Blair and Bencini streets
and from the corner of Park and
Clay to Blair and Bencini streets.
The welfare work being done i'll the
city was also endorsed by the Council.
High Point today has assets Of
nearly two and half million rollars,
while the bonded Indebtedness of
about one million an:j 3hree hundred
thousand dollars and the floating in
debtedness of less than Iwo hundred
thousand dollars, makes a total iia-
bility of less than a million and a
half dollars, against assets of nearly
TWO and half million doliars--a pret
ty good showing after all.

Light on Subject
Light Customers
Will Get Relief
Public Service To Install Machines
Giving Stronger Current
in the City

Following complaints of unsatis-
factory lighting Service in High Point
for the past several weeks, j. II.
Jennings, superintendent of the local
plant of the North Carolina Public
Service company, when asked for an
explanation said that primary regu-
lator had been purchased and when
installed during the next 10 days will
afford immediate relief.
Mr.. Jennings said the regulator
would be attached to the city's light
ing line and would automatically reg
ulate the voltage. The machine is
equipped in such way that it will
boost current 10 per cent when it is
low and if the light is too strong it
will automatically reduce the current.
The machine has already been shipped
and it is the opinion of Mr.. Jennings
that it will be in operation within the
next 10 days. The regulator is for
the city's lighting line only and will
not be attached to the wires for
power. Il
Many complaints have been regis
tered in the city during the past few
days for the low current. Several
merchants have found it impossible to
obtain enough current to operate their
cash registers, while throughout the
day the lights have been exceedingly
dim. However, if the statement of
Mr.. Jennings is taken to mean any
thing the situation will soon be rene
died.
