Filing DatesSetFor CandidatesIn Town Election

The Tabor City town board in
regular session last night opened
the books for filing to any candi-
dates for office in the forthcoming
municipal election on June 9.
The books are now open and
candidates for town commissioner
and mayor may throw their hats
in the ring by stating their inten-
tons to the town clerk and pay
ing $1,000 filing fee. This marks
the first time a filling fee has
been charged but most towns have
had such a fee for many years.
These fees usually offset the cost
of the election in small towns.
AS announced previously, the
June election will increase the
total number of commissioners to
five for the first time. Three have
composed the board in the past.
The board also set the filing
deadline at noon on May 80, ten
days before the election.
Election officials were also ap-
pointed. Sam Jackson was named
registrar, and Marion Baxter and
Don Hughes were named judges of
the election.
The board also voted to give
the Tabor Industrial Development
Enterprises corporation permission
to run their sewage line from the
shirt and pajama plant to the
main line on highway 70l and to
use street right of ways for this
purpose. Other places along this
line that desire to use the sewage
facilities will then be allowed to
do so by paying a hook-on charge
to the TIDE corporation that is
financing the laying of the line.
