Improvements Are
made AtCity Park
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. McCrary Fit
Up Swimming Pool And The
Playground.
Walks Are Laid Out
lily Pond, Fountain And Other
Improvements.
The city park has been' transformed
into a place of ‘‘delight and joy for
ever” for the children of the town
through the generosity of Mr. and
Mrs. D. B. McCrary. Not only is
there the! swimming pool built last
year for the children by Mr. McCrary,
but there are many other pieces of
playground equipment which the'
children enjoy.
Walks have been laid out over the
park, substantial and comfortable
seats may be found at every shady
nook, and there is plenty of room for
the children and the grown folks as
‘well to disport themselves. There
are the merry-go-round, the slide, and
the see-saws for the children, alb in
an enclosure around which is a low
concrete wall and iron railings. The
ground around these playthings has
been covered with sand and not even
in wet weather-is it muddy. About
the swimming pool has been placed
an iron railing also.
Another improvement is tne my
pond, around which is a walk and the
iron railing. Flowers and shrubs
have been planted and in a few
months it will be a place of beauty.
The old spring, one of the best in
Asheboro, has been walled in with
concrete and now a drinking fountain
disports itself where once the dipper
and the gourd had to be used.
The embankments along the side
walks on Park street have been built
up with top soil taken from the site
of the new hosiery mill on North
street These will be grassed and
will soon be objects of beauty. On
the side on which it was the custom
last year to drive cars into the park,
there is a fence which prevents this
and gives added safety to the chil
dren playing in the park.
The children could hardly wait for
the improvements to be made, but
were there watching the progress of
the work and the first evening after
it was completed a large number
knew about it and only the coming of
darkness sent them home. And they
have been there every evening since
when the weather permitted. S
The transformation of the city park
has been accomplished in a short time.
and vrtOTfflHy a spasmodic
how and then to clean it up. Hie
Woman's Club has for several years
interested itself in the cleaning up of
the park so that it could be used for
the purpose intended by the donor, the
late R. W. Frazier. They suggested
a swimming pool for the children and
seats and what-not. Mr. McCrary,
mayor of the town at the time, volun
teered to see to it that the swimming
pool was a reality. He! and Mrs. Mc
Crary saw to it that it was built. This
year witnessed further improvements
on the grounds and in the equipment
as detailed above. These were largely
made by Mr. and Mrs. McCrary, while
securing and furnishing some of the
seats.

So States News In State Papers,
Bat. No Summons Has Been
Served Here.
Charge Contract Broke
And That Their Loss Amounts
To $4,166.
According: to a news item carried
in the State press last Friday, suit
has been entered in Guilford Superior
Court by T. D. Cox and C. H. Cox,
partners, trading as Interstate Con
struction Company, agaifist the board
of commissioners of Randolph county
composed of E. C. Watkins, E. B.
Leach, J. W. McElhannon, W. C.
Grimes and W. L. Ward. The sum of
$4,166 is asked for alleged abrogation
of contract to build a top soil road
from Mechanic to Carter’s Cross
Roads, a distance of five miles.
This contract, according to com
plaint filed, was entered into between
the Interstate Construction Company
and file old board of commissioners on
September 12, 1925. The plaintiffs
allege that through cancellation of
contract by-the new board of com
missioners they have sustained a loss
equal to $4,166.
It has been rumoftd ever since the
new board of commissioners came in
to power and stopped all road work
for which the county had no money to
pay thet the Interstate Construction
Company would enter suit in the
county. If , the newf item appearing
in the newspapers Friday may be tak
en for face value, thappening gun has
been-fited. However,- no notice of the
Supervisor Worth Asks Co-operation Of The
People Of County In The listing Of Property
Property Owners of Randolph County:
The Township Assessors and list
Takers are prepared to begin assess
ing and listing your property for the
following year, and the books will be
opened at the several advertised
places in the townships for the pur
pose, on Monday of next week.
It is hoped that the property own
ers will meet and cooperate with these
officials in the arduous duties imposed
upon them. ,
The County has not, for a few
years, received sufficient money from
taxes, to defray the running expenses
of the County, and it is, therefore, a
condition that demands a moderate
raise in the assessed values of real
and personal property, or a raise in
the tax rate. The law requires that
a budget be prepared, jn July, which
will set forth the amount of money
required to run the County; the law
requires likewise, that the assessed
values, or the tax rate, be of amount
sufficient to meet this budget, as no
more money may be borrowed to run
the County Government.
No person may fear a drastic as
sessment beyond present values, as
the needful increase is not of, a size
to cause excitement or worry, and if
List Takers Work
Begins Next Week
Starts In Asheboro Monday And
Will Also Get In Full Swing
In County.
The work of the list takers and as
sessors in the various townships of
the county will be in full swing next
week. Appointments will be made at j
various convenient, places in the
townships by the list takers and as
sessors and those living within reach
of these places will be expected to go
there on the dates mentioned to list
their property for taxes. A farm cen
sus will be taken as usual at the time
of listing.
In Asheboro township, the list
taker, Mr. J. T. Lambert, with the as
sessors will be at the court housp be
ginning Monday morning, next, and
will be there the rest of the month for
the purpose of listing property in the
township. To avoid the rush, it would
be well to attend the place of list tak
ing early. The same would apply al
so to tax listing in others sections of
the county. ,

the property owners will exercise a
moderate spirit of liberality and dis
play a reasonable disposition to meet
the small advance that is inevitable,
the difficulty will have beat met.
The law requires each property
owner to list his holdings, both real
and personal, during the month of
May, with the list taker of his town
ship, and provides that all persons so
failing to list are guilty of a misde
meanor, and shall be punished ac
cordingly. It is hoped that no prose
cutions, under this provision of law,
will be necessary, but the habitual
“Late Lister'’ will be either prosecuted
or required to pay the penalty for
late list, which is fifty per cent of the
amount of his tax, or both, and all are
hereby notified of this Law, and also
notified that its provisions will, here
after, be enforced.
I appeal to the tax payers to list
their property with the tax List
Takers, thus saving expense and pros
ecution to and of themselves and spare
me the most unpleasant duty of hav
ing process served against them for
violation of the law.
