PL £ IED IN THE INTERE ST OF FOREST CITY AND RUTHERFORD COUNTY £ o FOREST CITY. NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1928 Petitions Calling For Referen dum Vote Signed by Large t Number of Voters Rutherfordton, Nov. 27.—While the aftermath of the past summer's flood in this section is being seen in the proposal to issue $35,Q00 in bonds for the reconstruction of roads and bridges washed away by the flood, popular protest against the authorization by the county commis sioners of Rutherford of this and an issue of $22,000 for erecting a bridge across Broad river near Har ris has developed and an election will probably be called, to pass on both matters by popular vote. Several petitions have been circu lated over for signatures calling a special referendum on the question. According to the law, at least fourteen percent of the voters must sign these petitions before an election can be called. Basing the percentage on the last general elec tion approximately 1600 signatures are required. Mr. H. L. Carpenter, one of the sponsors of the movement, gave out the following announcement Mon day : "The signing of petitions by more than two thousand voters protesting the issuance of additional bonds for Rutherford County indicates severe opposition to further indebtedness of this form against our county. "Grateful acknowledgement of loyal service in circulating petitions is due the great number of volunteers who secured the names of our citi zens who were eager to express their disapproval of an act that would un doubtedly, if put into execution, fur ther increase the burden of taxation. "The petitions have been fil£d with the clerk to the County Commission ers, and should an election be order ed would advise, in the interest of our county, that the measure be given a crushing defeat." It is now thought by many who are in close touch with the affairs of the county that not only will the propo sition to issue additional bonds be withdrawn, but that the county com missioners will not call for an elec tion. Indications point to a crushing defeat of the measure should such referendum vote be required by the officials. Mr. B. A. Stalnaker who is work ing in Anderson, S. C., has been con fined to his bed at his home here o* account of "flu" He is npw able to be out again. EAUTIFUL CITIES IN THE U. S. A." U. S. DE PARTMENJ OF AGRICULTURE SURVEY.

Of Colonial Design The city hall, a two story struc ture of brick and tile, is of the Colonial style of architecture. In ide its arrangement is similiar to hat of other city buildings. In addi tion to the clerk's office and other 'ooms on the first floor, one large | room has been set aside for the pub lic library, and ' turned over to the Woman's club, which is sponsoring ;he library. The roofs are of fireproof mater ial. The double doorway is in the | center of the City Hall's west front j and is reached by broad steps of j stone. It is flanked by windows and .on the second story are three more •windows. The Fire Department has 'two large entrances, being built to accomodate two or more pieces of ;fire fighting apparatus; the doors j are balanced so that they slide up- J wards when they are opened, thus (affording a quick exit for the fire j engines. | Inside the City Hall is well plan jned; the hallway is commodious and light and on the left, as one enters is an office for the City Clerk* J. E. Caldwell. Half of the room is divid ed by a grill; this has glass windows with a small aperture in the center for receiving things. A door is on the east side. Leading from this of fice is a doorway to the record room and vault. On the right side of the hallway is the anteroom and then the offices of the Mayor. At the rear of his office is a large room for the Wo man's Club, and opposite it another which can be used as a lounging or | rest room for the club members. I 1 Court Room On the second floor is the city court room, with an auditorium cap able of seating approximately one hundred people. The rocm for the city council is also located on the se cond floor, and adjoins the auditor ium. Next to this is the city engi neer's office. The police department is located at the rear of the first floor, and consists of police office, city jail with four cells, which will accomo date eight prisoners. The building is floored throughout with hardwood. Opening Friday Evening Several hundred people came out to inspect the new structure Friday evening, and to meet the city offi cials. Many and varied were the com ments heard on every side from the throng as they passed from one room to another. The simplicity of ar rangements and the interior was a source of many compliments directed toward the city officials. The mayor, Mr. Chas Z. Flack, and the members of the board of aldermen, Messrs. B. B. Doggett G. V. Frye, V. T. Davis, R. K. Hollifield, and W. E. Moore, were on hand to welcome everyone. Policeman Price, feeling that the display was incomplete without an occupant in the city's new jail, an nounced that he would place The ! Courier reporter therein to show the visitors how the new jail would ap pear with a prisoner in it. However, the reporter did -not entirely agree with Mr. Price's viewpoint, and he was forced to leave the jail empty for one evening. Bonds for the new building were issued about six months ago. The plans were drawn by an Asheville architect, J. J. Baldwin, and the con tract was let to W. H. Hand and Son, of Belmont.
