TOWN OF HALIFAX SEEKS TO ENLARGE CITY WATER WORKS Bond Issue Is Subject To Referendum The Halifax City Commissioners have adopted an ordinance author izing the issuance of $4,000 of bonds of the Town of Halifax for the enlargement and extension of the water supply system there, sub ject to the approval of Halifax re sidents in a special referendum on the question to be held on Sep tember 5. Mayor George Hux stated that the Halifax city officials realized the necessity of enlarging and extending the water system, and that residents of the town would vote on the matter because the proposed project is not a current expense to the town. The ordinance states that “a tax sufficient to pay the principal and interest on said bonds shall be annually levied and collected”. A statement of the indebtedness of the town has been filed with Town Clerk J. H. Bass, and is open to public inspection. The or dinance will take effect when ap proved by the voters of Halifax in the referendum. REFERENDUM A special election shall be held in Halifax for the purpose of sub mitting to the qualified voters of the town cn September 5, for their approval or disapproval the or dinance entitled “An Ordinance authorizing the issuance of $4,000 of bonds of the Town of Halifax for the enlargement and exten sion of the water supply system of said Town”. The polls will be open on the day of the referendum from 6:30 a.m., until 6:30 p.m., Eastern Stan dard Time, and each person whose name may be registered shall be entitled to vote. The polling place will be the store building be tween the Halifax Furniture Com pany and the Halifax Dry Goods and Notion store. Mrs. W. V. Warren has been ap pointed registrar for the election, and W. P. Avent and J. M. Read will be judges for the registration of voters and for the holding of the election. There will not be a new registration of the voters of the town of Halifax for the elec tion. Members of the Halifax board of Commissioners are W. T. Steph enson, C. E. Shaw, A. W. Greg ory, H. B. House and R. L. Dickens. METAL DRIVE (Continued from Page One) jects given in the drive were alum inum thimbles, hair curlers and other things people usually keep for future use. ‘The folks have shown great in terest and a fine spirit of patriot ism’, Chairman Hux said, 'and their contribution to national de fense has been a great one. I wish to thank each person who gave any aluminum in any form, and especially is the excellent work of the community committees ap preciated.” The aluminum will be sent to Edenton, concentration point for the metal collected in this sec tion, instead of to Raleigh as pre viously announced. It will be tur ned over at the concentration points in North Carolina to the Treasury. ^PATIENTS Among the out-of-town patients treated at the local hospital this week were Miss Harrill Barnes, Emporia, Va., Miss Martha Cath rine Dupree, route 3, Enfield; Boy James Prince, Emporia, Va.; Mrs. H. D. Vick, Pendleton; Mrs. Robert Wray, Gasburg; Mrs. J. H. War ren, route 2, Littleton; Mrs. Mar garet L. Edwards and baby boy, Vaughan. THESE HELPED ALUMINUM DRIVE Miss Margaret Martin, attractive 14-year-old daughter of the Roanoke Rapids chairman of the alumi num drive committee here, is shown at the left in the above photograph depositing the first piece of the metal which will be used for national defense in the bin in front of the local post office. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Martin of this city. At the right is shown a couple of Boy Scouts and members of the local Girl Scout Troop in front of the bin, which is nearly full of aluminum-ware. Both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts assisted in the collection of the metal here by conducting a house-to-house canvass for aluminum. As a result of the combined efforts and cooperation of local citizens Roanoke Rapids was able to turn over about a third of the total amount of aluminum collected in the Halifax County drive which closed Tuesday of this week. Girls Game The Raleigh All-Star girls soft ball team, North Carolina State champs, is scheduled to play the Roanoke Rapids Textile girls team at Patterson Mill Park here to morrow night at 8:30 o’clock, Eas tern Daylight Saving Time.
