That's the Way.
to Do 1t Right +!
City Council Enacts
Ordinace to Issue
$25O,OOO Bonds for
Municipal Building

Passed ON it's second and final read
ing an ordinance making it lawful
for the city of High Point to issue
bonds In sum not to exceed $25O,O
for the erection and equipment of a
municipal building was enacted by the
city council.
Action looking towards the issuance
of bonds was taken by local author
tiles after it was learned that the
North Carolina laws did not require
legislative authority to issue the pa
pers for such purpose, the supreme
court said to have ruled that NUM-
cipal building is necessity.
The ordinance was introduced at
the meeting of the council Tuesday
night and passed unanimously on it's
first reading. Another meeting was
called at 11:5O Wednesday and. the or
dinance again read to the councilmen,
who did OF hesitate in passing it.
At an adjourned meeting of the
board held last Wek a resolution was
adopted, requesting Guilford county
representatives in the legislature to
introduce a bill giving the city council
authority to issue in the sum of $780,
900 bonds for the municipal DulIuIng.
However, an investigation showed this
was not necessary and no will be pre-
sented for the approval of legislators
donw at Raleigh. The ordinance en-
acted makes it lawful to issue bonds
not exceeding $25O,00O. -.
When actual construction work on
the municipal building will begin is
not known at the present, but it is
indicated that no time will be lost.

IN THE CITY

For several years H. U. Oakes Of
this city has beat all comers in the
way of raising one-year-old porkers.
It is an easy matter for him to raise
5O0-pounders in 10 months, which is
not easily accomplished by the amin
formed or amateur in raising hogs.
This year he had two thoroughbred
big bone Poland China pigs which he
bought 10 months ago at weeks old
from his sister lin Davidson county. He
killed them Monday and they tipped
the scales at 500 end 515 lbs. respec-
lively. Some hogs, we will say, and
some sausage, too, because the editor
received liberal "mess" from friend
Cakes.
