The public is invited to at Slight Change Is Made h Wording Bond Resolution Finally Passed By Board Tues day, After Having First Been Made Friday, March 22. Open For 30 Days Highway Commission Asked To Use County’s Part Aid Fund Maintaining Two Roads. The board of commissioners in call ed session Tuesday passed a resolu tion asking the Governor to call a special session of criminal court for Randolph county, authorized the coun ty attorneys to proceed to take action to secure title to real estate purchased by the county at tax sales, re-drafted a former resolution calling for a $100,000 bond issue for schools and asked the highway commission to use the county’s part of the State aid road fund in maintaining two desig nated highways in Randolph. The resolution relative to issuing bonds for school purposes, namely the building of FranklinviUe, Archdale and Cedar Falls school houses, was first passed at the meeting held Fri day, March 22, and finally passed Tuesday. Slight change was made in the wording of the resolution. Tins resolution follows: WHEREAS: In the opinion of the Board of Commissioners of Randolph County, it has become necessary to build a new school building in Frank linville, N. C., Archdale, N. C., and Cedar Falls, N. C., and whereas, it is estimated that the maximum amount of ($100,000.00) One Hundred Thous and Dollars, will be necessary for said buildings. NOW, THEREFORE, it is ordered by the Board that the said sum of $100,000.00 be borrowed and that Bonds of the county be issued and sold not exceeding said sum. It is furth er ordered that a tax sufficient to pay interest be said bonds and the princi pal as the same may become due shall be levied and collected.

The short term loans will cost the county 7 per cent or more, which is of course against the law, and hence is not legally pos sible. On the other hand the bonds if properly managed can be sold at 5 per cent, and while that is not so good as 4 and a half per cent, it it better than 7 per cent. However the spec ial act of 1927 is yet in effect and it prohibits the issuance of any bonds by the County Commissioners of Ran dolph county without a vote of the people, and if they can not legally is sue bonds, they certainly can not con tract a debt which ultimately is to be paid with bonds. I am very heartily in favor of the school buildings pro posed, but nothing is to be gained by incurring expense for a proposed bond issue that can not go through.” Thieves Make Raid On M System Store Getting $47 In Cash Unidentified thieves broke into the M. System Store on Sunset Avenue late Friday night and stole $47 in cash and several dollars worth of groceries. Several hams, dressed chickens and buckets of lard were tak en along with a few other articles.

Saturday morning three hams and two buckets of lard were discovered Where the thieves had thrown or lost them during the chase.
