MLLED TO FLORIDA and M fsbori Special Messenger Takes Bill To House (Special To The Mountaineer! RALEIGH, March 22 The bill calling for the merger of Waynes ville and Hazelwood passed the third reading in the Senate this morning. The bill was introduced last Friday by Senator William Medford, and an identical bill in the House by Rep. Oral L. Yates. The Senate bill went to the House by special messenger short ly afternoon today. The bill set the salary of mayor at $500 per year, and aldermen at $300. Only one of the two bills intro duced will have to be passed and ratified. The date of Anal passage, and ratification is dependent upon so many things, including the amount of work already in the committees, that no one would even hint a likely date. The bill would permit citizens of either town to request an elec tion on the question upon present ation of petitions signed by IS per cent of the qualified voters of either town. The petitions would be received within 13 days after rati fication of the bill. An amendment to the bill was made on the third reading, to sections 44. 45 and 47. As original. ly introduced, the, election if held; would have been against registra tion. The slight phraseology was changed to stipulate the "majority of votes cast in the election, and not against the registration books". Members of the Senate felt this point should be clarified, as that was the original intent and pur pose, they explained.
