At a vot-' held last May before the paving was started local citizens voted over whelmingly in favor of issuing $45,- 000' in 'bonds to be used in paving the streets.

Secretary Easterling later in formed the. Town Council that it could not proceedthat manner; that it must have authority to issue a sufficient sum in bonds to cover the entire cost of the paving. It has been pointed out 'by Mayor {..oving and the Town Council that the paving will cost no more because of the additional bond issue. No voice of disapproval has been heard against the bond issue to 'be voted on Monday and it is expected that when the votes are tabulated the same sentiment will be expressed in the results as found in the rote last May. ‘ Zelgler-Cline. successful bidders the paving contract, have almost' ' completed the paving and will start soon on 'building up the shoulders on the streets paved.
