Reasonable Price On Easy Terms Is Offered The City Board of Aldermen have under consideration the advisability uf purchasing the W. J. Braddock property which is. being offered the city at a very reasonable price and v n'easy terms. The property, if pur. cha.-ed could be used for the .site of u city hall, fire department and also ;,,r a small park which would include t modern swimming pool. Th,i property is one block off Main -trcot and faces on Haywood, Miller ..ml Montgomery streets. The lot af fords a natural spot for a swim ming pool, and makes it .so one could be built without much cost for the excavating. The lot is about 175 feet Mjuave. The board met and discussed the matter this week, but have taken no tlctinite action pending the expres sions of the taxpayers. It was pointed out that the pay ments on the property would be less than what the town is now paying for rents. The Braddock residence on Main -trect will soon be moved for Massie 'Furniture Company to begin building' their funeral homo. It has been sug gested that the house be moved to the lot which the city has under con sideration and used for the present for .city, hall headquarters. The price of the property was made to include the house if so desired, or without it. Several business men have at times pointed out that spot as an ideal lo cation for a small recreational park in town, and also mentioned the pos sibilities of making it the central ! cation for air city' buildings. Although 'no official statement has been made by the board, it is the (pinion of many who have discussed the matter that they will accept the offer soon, because of the low price offer made to them, unless there is objection by the taxpayers of the town. $2 Penalty To Be Charged Those Fail- ing To List Taxes C.
