Mr.. B. V. Hedrick, Mayor,

Mr.. B. V. Hedrick, Mayor,
and Members of the City Council:
My attention has been called o the
fact that Salisbury needs a new city
code. l am informed that it has been
many years since the city ordinances
have been prepared in book form.
I feel that the preparation and pub
LEGATION of a new city code, containing
all the effective municipal ordinances
up to date, revised, classified and in
dexed, is very essential. 1t has been
needed for a long time.
Only a very few copies-probably
five or ten-of the old code are avail
able. Many of the ordinances are out
of date and have been replaced by
new ones. None seem to be available
when needed.
I hope some arrangement can be
made in the near future for a new
city code and thrust you gentlemen
will keep this matter in mind until
this is done.
GOVERNOR MATTHEW Rowan.
Mr.. George A. Fisher,
Salisbury, N. c.
My dear MI. Fisher:
I desire to congratulate you upon
your election as consul commander of
Rosewood Camp No. rs, Woodmen
of the World. I wish you and your
organization much success during the
coming year.

Of great value to the North Dakota

I'VE have benefited greatly by the
experience OF the advisory committee

working to give the people the bess
possible building for the money"
