Public Protests Town Boards
Action In Seeking Resignation
OF Police Chief L.R. Watson


at the school auditorium here
Monday night and voiced their
protest at the action of The Tabor
City town board in requesting the
resignation of Police Chief L. R.
Watson.
With Mayor W. A. Williams pre-
siding, the meeting was called to
order about $50 and the Mayor
pointed out to the near capacity
crowd that town harmony was to
be desired, and that he hoped
nothing would be done at the
meeting which might split the
citizenry into factions.
The meeting was called by pri-
vate citizens after q special meet
ing Of the board last Saturday
asked Watson to resign by two
to one vote. Mayor Williams, who
has no vote, was not present at
the Saturday meeting.
Chief Watson had not ANNOUNCE
ed his decision as to whether he
would resign or not, but took the
floor at the meeting and said he
was handing in his resignation.
However, as the meeting progress
ed, Jack Strickland, made a mo-
ton that the group 60 on record
as requesting Watson to reconSid..
er his resignation. The motion was
carried with such enthusiasm that
Watson again took the floor and
said that if the people wanted him
to remain in Tabor City, he would
not resign. This will leave his
future status here completely in
the hands of the local board that
can either fire him or forget the
action of last Saturday.
A petition was displayed at the
meeting endorsing Watson as po-
lice chief and praising his more
than five years service here. The
Mayor stated that about 300 reg
istered voters had signed the petit
ton. Others signed it at the con-
cluslon of the meeting.
AT one stage of the meeting, a
motion was made and rapidly
seconded that the two town board
members who asked Watson to
resign hand in their own reSigna-
tions. However, Mayor Williams
asked that the motion be with
drawn and no action was taken
on it.
In that Monday nights meeting
was not board meeting but
public protest meeting, a motion
was made by A. E. Goldfinch that
the public attend the next town
meeting and voice their senti-
ments. This met with favorable
applause and it was generally
agreed that the August town board
meeting would be attended by as
many people as possible end that
their sentiments would be ex
pressed then.
Neither Willard c. Wright or
Troy Bennett, the two commits
sioners who asked for Watson's
resignation, were present at the
meeting. This being the case, no
one was in position to answer the
/ question from the floor as 10 why
he was asked to resign.
Bob White, after the failure of
the group to learn these reasons,
requested that a fact finding COM
mittee be named by the Mayor to
determine the reasons for the
boards action and to present this
information to the group at a later
date.
The committee consists of David
| Kelly, Bob White, v. R. Bur-
roughs, J. c. Bell and L. B. Hedge
coe.
Many citizens spoke from the
floor in Watson's defense ard al
though the meeting was open for
discussion for anyone, no state.
ments were made against the
police chief.

The East Carolina Construction
Company of Dunn set the stage
this week for commencing con-
struction of the Columbus County
Agricultural Building and an ad-
dition to Columbus County Hospi-
tai.

strult.un 3,;Lt-a...e.Ide:-., arrived
Monday end has been supervising
the erection of tool shedS and con-
struction headquarters. These
have oeen placed on the grounds
near the hospital.
Construction of the two build
ings is expected to take close to
a year. Since a 40-hour week ap-
plies and no allowance for over

be located just west OF the CoullIy
Jail on Smith Street.
Both projects will be carried or
simultaneously, although grading
for the hospital wing is expected
to be started first.
The hospital wing will be erect
ed on the southeast side of the
present hospital building. Addi-
tons to the old wing and some
remodelling are also in the speci-
ficationS.
Since the two projects will re-
quire several months, Superinteno
ent Harris expects to move his
family here as soon as he find:

Bond Sales 7 otal
Sl3,l37 In June
Chairman Young
Releases Report

Seventy-two of Ohio's eighty
eight counties in June gave the
state its largest Defense Bond
sales increase thus far in 1852,
with combined sales of the inn
proved Series E Bond and the
new Current-income Series Fl
Bond running $4, 4,543,041 over the
June, 1851, sales figure, L. c.
Young, Chairman. Noble County
Defense Bond Committee, reveal
ed today. Sales of E and H Bonds
in Noble county for the month
were $13,137 compared to z
Bond sales of $10,381 for June
last year.
The State Defense Bond Office
in Columbus announced that
monthly sales of the improved
E Bond and its running mate
the H Bond, will be combined
in the regular sales reports tc
counties. Reason for this, accord
ing to officials, is that the H
Bond is sold in the same market
as the improved E Bond, that is
to individuals only.
Although part of the increase
for June was caused by sales OF
the new II Bond which became
available June l, still the June
sales report was the ninth con,
secutive month that Ohio show.
ed a gain over sales for the same
month of the previous year.
