Stevenson Preparing For Campaign
City Council
Delays Action
On New Budget
Although the meeting of
the Dunn City Council Fri
day night was called to dis
cuss the budget, presented
by City Clerk Charles Storey,
every topic except the one
scheduled was taken -up,
ranging from water to the
selection of a new City Man
ager.
A. B. Uzzle of Hickory was pick
ed as the new city manager.
As one result of the meeting,
however. City Clerk Storey was in
structed to accept no further re
quests for city water and sewage
facilities from the persons ouside
the present corooraVJ limits of
the town of Dunn.
Mayor Ralph Hanna touched off
this move by pointing out that
many residents of the areas bor
dering Dunn were reoeivine water,
sewage, police and fire protection,
without contributing to the main
tenance of these services by pay
ing town taxes. *
“If they wish these advantages.”
Mayor Hanna declared, "they
should be willing to come into the
town.” City limits have already
been extended to include the new
Latimer addition.
NO DISCRIMINATION
The first proposal was to deny
these privileges to bordering areas
for a distance of a thousand feet
beyond the present corporate lim
its, but Mavor Hanna pointed out
that it would be unfair to discrim
inate between these persons and
others, farther down the town line.
“We couldn’t very well turn them
down,” he declared, “and then tie
in people living in the Black River
section, for example.”
The board adopted a motion
made by Commissioner J. V. Bass
instructing the City Clerk to ac
cept no farther applications, wlth-
Although ttr. s. EL Boat, Mas*,
ager at the Erwin Mills at Ek
wln, presented a good case in favor
of supplying water to Erwin at a
rate tower than the 16 cents per
thousands approved by the board,
the board held to this rate.
Mr. Boat pointed out that the
figure of 16.9 cents, worked out bv
former City Manager Tommy Hobbs
as the cost of manufacturing the
water, included the costs of cler
ical work and maintenance of the
Dunn water system. Under these

! return to his Governor’s
j Mansion at Springfield to- j
day after learning President
Truman and Vice President
Alben Barkley will stump !
the country for him in the !
coming presidential cam
| paign.
I Stevenson’s train left Chicago at
9;'25 a. m. EST and will stop brief
!ly at the Democratic nominee’s
home town of Bloomington, 111.,
about 11:45 a. m. after a brief
rear platform speech there the

A non-partisan” celebration and
homecoming awaited Stevenson in
the capital city. The streets of
, Springfield were festooned with
bunting and welcoming signs a
few hours after the radio blared
the news of his nomination.
A HECTIC WEEK
The lUionis governor spent a hec.
tic weekend in his fashionable
“hideout” on Chicago’s North
Side. A steady stream of Demo
cratic party dignitaries called on
him to chat and lay plans before
grabbing trains out of town. The
politicians and the governor, were
genuinely weary after the marathon
sessions of the Democratic conven
tion that nominated the reluctant
Stevenson.
Democratic National Chairman
Frank E. McKinney emerged from
a meeting with Stevenson yesterday
and announced the battle plan for
the fall campaign against GOP
nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower
called for a “four-edged sword in
stead of a two-edged sword.”
McKinney explained that Mr.
Truman and Barldey would bring
their political experience, aadcipn-
RSpublicans along with JWeijson
and his Vice presidential running
mate, Sen. John J. Sparkman «f
Alabama.
TO “FULLEST EXTENT
The President and Barkley will
campaign “to the fullest extent,”
McKinney said.
The national chairman, who Ste
venson named to continue in his
post, said the Democrats have de
cided a “sharp, hard-hitting” cam
paign not to last more than two
months, will insure thef the White
House in November.
