THE KILL DEVIL HILLS
VIEWPOINT: FOR AND
AGAINST NEXT WEEK

Next week this newspaper is
planning to carry an article about
two columns long, giving the rea-
sons why many citizens favor re-
tanning the town charter in Kill
Devil Hills, as being essential to
the prestige, growth and progress
of the community.
An election is to be held on
March 25th on this issue. Two
years ago such as election was
held, but Acknowledgement and
court rulings declared the election
invalid.
This newspaper will also give
similar space to some citizen who
wishes to set forth reasons why
the town charter should not be
retained. A similar amount OF
space can be filled with not more
than five or six dcuble-spaced
typewriter pages. The article
should be in our hands by Tuesday
night to insure publication.
