City Limits
Vote Talked
For Oct. 9
PROBLEM IS STUDIED
Council Requests City At.
torney To Collect Data
On Subject

Following a suggestion that the
city limits extension election be
called for October or thereabouts.
the City Council at it's regular meet.
ing yesterday morning authorized
City Attorney William B. Campbell.
to continue his study Of the ques'
ton and report back at late-
date. Attorney Campbell submitted
the October 9th tentative date, ano
motion to continue study OF the
problem was made by Councilman
j.. E. L. Wade.
At a recent meeting of the coun.
Gil, Mr.. Campbell was authorized
to confer with Community Chess
officials in all effort to prevent
dates of the Chests annual fund
campaign and the election conflict
ing. In his report to council, the
City Attorney pointed out that
collection Of preliminary data mus
be made and presented to council
before the election can be called,
He said he expected to have more
definite information next week.
Mr.. Campbell said he had dis.
cussed the matter with both +. L.
White, president OF the Chest, and
George Stearns, executive secre'
tary, and had been informed that
the Chest was planning its general
public campaign for October 1924.
He reported that the belief had
been expressed by Chest officials
that it would be more helpful il
the city extension program could
be held sometime just prior to that
of the Chest drive.
In that case, he continued, the
preliminary surveys being made
by the offices of the city manager
and city engineer would have to
be completed and the material
placed before the council by the
first week OF July. The legislative
act passed by the last General
Assembly enabling the council to
call the election requires 90-days
advertising period from the time
of the call to the voting.
Unless the polling can be called
for the October date, he said. it
probably would have to be post
poned until early November.
City Manager A. c. Nichols ex-
pressed the belief tina, the field
SURVEYS would he cornn1eted in
time for the council to act early
next month.
The city board authorized City
Attorney Campbell to file condem-
nation suits in Columbus county
to acquire the land and premises
for the city of three Columbus
property-oWners who, according to
the city attorney, have failed to
cooperate with the city in connec.
