HENDERSON, (N. C.)

All proper ty listings will be made as of April 1, the same as for the counties throughout the state. A mass of routine business was transacted by the Council in addi tion to oi'dering the city election and the listing of taxes. The supervisor of finance and the supervisor of public works was given power to act on a request of John D. Rose for a fence to be erected at the rear of his home to keep pedestrians out. A path had been beaten along the property as the result of the un derpass pipe line there, it was stated. Taxicab liability insurance policies were received and filed for Algie Williams, Arthur Poole and Ollie B. Lufsey. The Council instructed the mayor to execute a formal contract with Paul M. Vancamp, engineer employ ed in connection with the construc tion of the sewage disposal plant. An appeal of the Western Union Telegraph Company for permission to string a wire across Garnett street was refused. Payment was ordered of a claim for $2.50 from W. K. Sturgis for damages to the fender of his auto mobile done when a street depart ment employe dropped a garbage can on the fender. C. M. Hight, supervisor of public works, and the street supervisor J.

The mayor, the supervisor of pub lic works and the supervisor of fi nance were named a committee to confer with D. T. Beckham in con nection with an exchange of land in the vicinity of Beckham’s store near the standpipe, with a view to im proving the street in that vicinity. Mayor Powell reported that the grass needed cutting in King’s Daugh ters’ Park, and Councilman T. W. Ellis said he would have it done. - Alderman F. B. Hight brought to the attention of the Council the mat ter of the right of way for the pipe line to the new sewage disposal plant. He said the Highland Home Realty Company and the Kittrells, as own ers, had asked for SSOO to give the city the right-of-way. Mr. Hight was given power to act in the matter. Permission was granted to the Bul lock-Fisher Post of the American Legion, colored, to hold a spring fes tival, or dance, in a local warehouse one night during the first five days of May. A letter was received from S. T. Peace asking reduction of a water bill of $38.10 to S2O. He claimed the bill arose from an outlet that was not disconnected at the proper time when the old Parker homeplace ad joining him was torn away. The Council refused to allow the claim. The usual balance sheet and filter plant report of the waterworks de partment were presented by Mayor Powell as manager, and were receiv ed and filed. General city and water works bills were read and approved. Two members of the Council were absent from the meeting, the first time in a long while a meeting was held without all members being present. The meeting was a lengthy one and lasted until well after ten o’clock.

The manager of the waterworks department, who is the mayor, was “authorized and instructed” to col lect for fire hydrants located outside the city limits, or remove these hydrants. The city had been mak ing charges for the service for some years, but, due to the depression at the time, suspended collections tem porarily in 1931, and collection has not been resumed. It has now be come necessary to buy new hydrants, and the Council decided to order re sumption of collections that were suspended some years ago. The City Council also “authoriz ed and instructed” the city attorney to sue “any and all” persons now in arrears on their sewage service. This is a charge -made by the city to out siders who connect with the city sewer service. J. C. Kittrell and J. H. Bridgers, attorneys, made request upon the Council in writing for lists of names of “people opposing city extension recently delivered to the City Coun cil.“ The answer of the Council was that it had no such lists and was for that reason unable to comply with the request.
