Legislature News
Raleigh, March 16. Represen
tative E. B. Cloud’s second at
tempt to increase the Polk county
board of commissioners from three
to six members has been blocked in
the senate through the opposition

on counties, cities, and towns and
was passed by the house without a
dissenting vote. When it reached
the senate, Senator Thompson had

Senator Thompson and Senator
J. D. Blanton, of McDowell, are
the senators from the 27th sena

Polk, Cleveland, McDowell, Hen

Representative Cloud has held
several conferences with Senator
Blanton in an effort to win his
support of his commissioners’ bill,
and was in a fairway of winning
it until letters from Polk county
and Senator Thompson’s opposition
thwarted this move.
It is also expected that Represen

laws.

house, it is doubtful whether it
