County Will Not Issue Bonds For School Buildings County Board Abandons Effort To Issue $100,000 In Bonds To Finance Schools. Seek Other Sources Franklin ville Building. Nearly Completed, Must Be Financed In Some Manner. The board of commissioners for Ran dolph county evidently has dropped the matter of issuing $100,000 in bonds to finance school buildings at Franklin ville, Cedar Falls and Arch dale. Notice of the proposed bond issue was given several weeks ago and the proposal remained open for thirty days for the filing of objections to the .issue. Major Bruce Craven, of Trin ity, entered protest against issuing the bonds, and on Aug. 16 a suit was filed by Mr. Payne, of Trinity, with Mr. Craven as attorney, declaring the bonds to be illegal without vote of the people. The commissioners had until Sep tember 16th to file answer to the suit, but this was not done. Application made by the board to the Sinking Fund Commission recently for author ity to borrow $100,000 on short tens notes for financing this school build ing program was tuned down, and now the county is np against the prop osition to finance the Franklin ville school building, which is practically completed. This will most likely be done through the State building loan fund, which is apportioned to the counties in the State for such purpos es. But there is no way of financing proposed buildings at Cedar Falls and Archdale at the present time. It was thought for some time that a test case would be made of Ran dolph’s proposal to issue $100,000 in bonds for schools, but this apparently has flickered out. A similar case ,came up in Duplin county and after it was taken to the highest court, deris ion was made by the Supreme Court that the bonis could be issued since school buildings were a public neces sity and when the county board of commissioners authorized the bond is sue it was acting as agent for the State and not on a local matter. vf 1 .«• Js 21 Major Craven States Trinity, Sept. 18.—Major Brace Craven, who filed a protest against the recent proposal by the county board of commissioners to issue $100, 000 in bonds, made the following statement today with reference the matter: “In connection with the proposed, but now dead, $100,000.00 of county bonds, the statement was made in Ra leigh by a responsible citizen of this 1 County, that I filed a protest against the bonds because I was opposed to one of the school buildings. As the protest was in the records, it is use less to label the statement for what it is. I opposed the bonds for two reas ons, one being that they were illegal without a vote of the people, and the other that the county is already so heavily in debt that it can not pay run ning expenses and hence is getting deeper in debt all the time. If the people in spite of this, will vote for .more bonds, I have no objection what ever to it, but there are not going to be any more bonds issued in Randolph county any time soon, unless the peo ple vote for them.” HIGH POINT FAIR TO OPEN ON SEPT. 24TH | _ M The High Point Fair will open Tues day, Sept. 24th, and continue through the 28th.
