It has been advertised for axes by the county of Warren, vhich also holds a small portion of ts bonds, but foreclosure proceedngs have not been started. The own is also due several years taxes, lue to the foresight of Mayor ''rank H. Gibbs, who won a fight everal years ago to have the prop:rty listed on the town's books for axation. Hotel Warren has never returned warrenton a cent of revenue for ;he nearly $100,000 It has Invested. ^ :t has been of Indirect benefit to he business life 01 the town and tas won the town much favorable tublicity. It will, no doubt, be oprated in some sort of fashion as a lotel regardless of how the ballots re cast next Tuesday. But whether r not the hotel passes from the own's control into the hands of n individual, Town Bonds issued y vote of the people to finance he erection of the hotel will have 0 be paid. If voters decide against the purhase of the Hotel, the town posibly may salvage a few hundred lollars in taxes and the $16,500 itherwise to be used for purchase an be used to retire outstanding ionds and thus effect some derease in the tax rate. If voters decide in favor of the lurchase, the town assumes comilete control over the operation of he hotel. Because it will thus beome a municipal building it will e freed of all taxes, amounting to everal hundred dollars annually 1 the case of the county. If, as lany believe, it can be operated dth no tax burden at a profit on $20,000 investment, then such rofit will accrue to the benefit of tie town and be reflected in a dereased tax rate. If the voters decline to approve le purchase of the hotel property, , will doubtlessly be soon advertised ir sale and sold at public auction, .t that time it may be bought in y some interested individual either s an investment or in an effort to rotect his holdings. But the town innot bid, whether it is knocked own for $3,000, $5,000, or $16,500. ; must stand helplessly by and see s property pass into other hands. In the election, a majority of the ualified voters must vote in favor f the purchase to carry the elecon. Thus every voter who remains om the polls for any cause autolatically casts his vote against the roposition. A mass meeting of citizens has ;en called for Monday night at the ?- - ? ?i? )urt nouse wnen speaaera win resent a full discussion of the uestion. No bond issue will be required to irnish funds for the purchase of le hotel property. Sufficient surlus is in the town's treasury as result of a Warrenton Rail Road Ividend. Miss Pat Holland of New Rochelle, Y., and Mr. Hans Fiedler of hiladelphia were week end guests 1 the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilam Polk. Miss Christine Odum spent the hanksgivhvj holidays here with [iss Mary Lee Gardner.
