MANY JUNE BRIDES

The Marshall News Messenger
boasted bit last week because Lyon
County had fourteen June weddings.
In the face of the fact that w. G.
Weldon, Redwood County's Clerk of
Court issued twenty-nine licenses dur

just a boast! Last year during the
month of June Mr.. Weldon's office
issued only seventeen licenses. It's

Aldermen Can't Deal With Super

There will be no deal with

supcr-powcr when the Board
OF Aldermen meets Monday

submitted their proposition 10

Mayor McCabe has shown too
much enterprise to please the
/ Public Utilities Board.
! Between the Board Of Aldermen
and the tax payers of Elizabeth City
stands the Public Utilities Board
vested with al power to take the
initiative in making any contract
OF expenditure for the city. The
| Aldermen arc empowered only 10
accept or reject any proposition

The Mayor and Board "t .tldcr-
men are in the position of Il lot OF
little boys who decide to buy a Jazz
wagon to run around in, without
consulting Papa who must approve
the purchase and provide the funds.
There will bc no deal between the

Mayor and the Aldermen have no
authority to deal.
If Elizabeth City wants the bcne-

be Il new deal all around. y poll
| Of the members Of the Public ttiH-
ties Board reveals the fact that the
gentlemen comprising that body are
not any too friendly toward super
power. They don't know much
about supcr-pOwcr and haven't
thought much about it: but they
do know that with the dilapidatcd
! little old plant which they took
over from the Crock interests last
year, they are making the city II

And these gentlemen bare an idea
tha, with the new and Improved
electric light and power plant which
they must build al an carly date

Metropolitan To Develop And
Sell 10000 Idle Acres For
Farms Near Hyde Co.

To take I fourth Of a tract Of
land, valued in all at $500, 900,
clear it, ditch it, build roads
thru it, and convert it into pro-
ductivc farm property worth
five to six million dollars is the
ambitious program OF the
metropolitan Lie Insurance
Company, which has undertak-
ell the development OF 4O,UOO
acres near Stumpy Point, some
90 miles south OF Elizabeth

The Metropolitan has no rcclama'
ton project, no lake drainage
scheme. but will ditch and drain
what is already high, cut-over
timlerland. It has organized nc
stock company. borrowed no money
nor bonded the property to finance
IT. but is spending its own money,
and has the backing Of the Metro
polilan's millions to make something
of this cut-over timber land 1t &C.
auired some six years ago, the story
of which is familiar TO this news

Local Man Projected II.

was begun largely at the initiative
Of W. ). Worth, Elizabeth City st-

of it would he equally as valuable
for farm lands as those Of the adj

farm land Is valued on the tax books
at $3.50 an acre.
The Metropolitan has been expert

Point where only 10000 acres Will
be developed at first. 1t has under
