.Oppositionists Charged
With desperate Tactics
In Election Test

Calling upon the thinking, pro-
gressive people of the community
to assert themselves at the ballot
box Tuesday, Hargrove Bellamy,
chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee for Extension Of the City
Limits last night raped unbound
ed charges and distorted criticism"
of anti-extensionists.
In a prepared statement, Bel
lany. Wilmington's first mayor
under the managerial form of gov
eminent. declared that opposition
lists were following 'hot and cold''
tactics in their campaign to de-
feat what he described as "the
most progressive move Wilmington
has made in a half-century."
His statement:
elbow hot, blow cold. Defeat the
cause of progress at any cost.
"This is the desperate tactic OF
the opponents of extension of the
city limits.
''If the extension plan includes
any undeveloped area, it is I'm.
sound and costly to the city. If it
leaves out the undeveloped area
it produces 'bulges' in the new city

in accordance with the terms Of
the act.
Further. the bill provides that
as an additional safeguard, two ad-
ditiona1 temporary members of
the council, named in the bill,
shall take office on the effective
date of extension and shall serve
for the remainder of the terms
of the councilman then serving,
when the council will revert to its
normal membership of five.
Zone of these additional coun-
cilmen is from the eastern area to
be annexed, and one from the
southern area. Both areas will thus
have a full vote in seeing to it
that the city government fulfins
its pledge to the people.
"It has been conclusively dem
onstrated that materials for the
installation Of the additional facil.
tiles are available. Funds can be
provided through the issuance of
bonds, in the usual manner, and
the city knows in detail how much
the additional installations will
cost.
"Now it would be a veritable
seventh wonder of the world if
upon this fundamental question
the Mayor and Council were guilty
of bad faith and had been able to
conclusively sell their views to
the many hundreds of able, honest
and intelligent citizens, including
some of the leading people within
and without the present city, who
for absolutely no personal motives
are giving of their time and means
to advance the cause of bigger
and better community. It would be
still more of a wonder if, after all
the vicious transformation, dis
tortion, innuendo and calunnny that
has been spread by the desperate
opposition, these hundreds of good
citizens still chung to their orig
inal view, as they do, that extern
sion is a sound thing-if, as the
opponents claim, the facilities and
services could not be provided.
eve earnestly believe that this
false argument will be rejected by
the voters and that they will on
next Tuesday, render an over
whelming verdict for extension of
the limits and for a greater Will
mington. But we caution the friends
of extension, within and without
the present boundaries, against
overconfidence and against failure
to 60 to the polls and register their
convictions.
''The opposition is cornerd and
is desperate. 1t is apparently will
ing to stop at nothing. The vote of
every registered friend of extern
sion is needed to reflect truly the
dominant belief of the community"
