ELECT TIM DICKEY
Ward 6 Commissioner
/
As a candidate for Commissioner in the newly
created Ward Six, I will support the Administra
tion on the various projects now in process. In
spite of the development of vitally needed munici
pal improvements, the Administration has been
able to maintain an 85c per hundred tax rate,
which is less than some of the neighboring towns.
The Kings Mountain Water Project is the 'fu
ture of Kings Mountain with its potential for
economic growth, and the recreational possibilities
arc unlimited for all of Cleveland County.
It is my intention to serve all citizens of Kings
Mountain, and to do all possible to see that Kings
Mountain continues to grow.
