To Look Into Reuelery
Reported At Armory Here

PERSONS using the Market
street armory will appear before
the New Hanover county COM
missioners at the regular board
meeting next Monday when the
commissioners investigate COM
plants of dancing, drinking,
and revelry reported to have
been disturbing residents in the
vicinity of the armory recently.
The board of commissioners
decided to investigate after Com
missioner George Trask reported
to the board Monday that he had
received complaints from resi-
dents in the neighborhood of
the armory. Commissioner Harry
Gardner revealed that he, too,
had received complaints from
residents in that vicinity.
The armory is operated under
joint city-county control. Be-
yond recognizing that the armory
had been built primarily for
military purposes and was never
intended to develop into a night
spot, the commissioners were
not informed as to its present
operation, and decided to look
into the matter next Monday.
The commissioners instigated
a conference of city and county
attorneys for the purpose of put
ting teeth into a program for
collecting 100000 currently
owed the county and city gov
ernments in back taxes.
