In the ! meantime he notified nine friends i about town who subscribed to the idea and they secreted themselves i in the house about 9 o'clock at night.

Polk has taken this time to call upon the citizens of Warrenton to give full cooperation to a Clean-Up Campaign here dining the next few days. "We want to have our streets and our entire town look as clean and as nice as possible and in order tha. we may realize this desire every person should join in the campaign and do his or her part by putting lawns in the best possible shape, removing paper and thrash from yards and stop throwing paper on .he streets," the mayor stated. Mr. Polk said that the streets of the town would be swept clean and expressed the hope that the merchants here would do their part to keep them clean by placing old paper and other waste material in garbage cans rather than sweep this trash into the streets. A special effort will be made by . the driver of the town truck to gather up the trash as home-owners gather it together and place it in some kind of container convenient to the street. I _ . ??I ?

' ??? mm ?0 ?T OF THE NEWS P" #M ALL THE TIME 'T NUMBER 1 'alls For )0 Bond Issue Funds; F or Fire Fighting Purposes And For Curb And Gutter Project TO VOTE ON TWO ISSUES Meeting in adjourned sesslor. here oil Monday night, the boarc of town commissioners authorized subject to a vote of the citizens, the issuance of $10,000 worth of oonds for curb and gutter work inr! fnr imnrnvina fir#* fighting facilities here. The voters will go Jo the voting precinct on Tuesday, March ?2. The commissioners proposed to have the bonds issued in two Issues, one for $6,000 for curb and gutter work and one for $4,000 for fire fighting improvement purposes. The issues are to be voted upon separately and one may be invalidated without invalidating the other. The action of the board followed a discussion of the matter at the regular monthly meeting in February, a t which time the board adjourned subject to call of the Mayor to take further action upon the matter. Following the regular meeting, Commissioner John G. Mitchell and Town Attorney Frank H. Gibbs went to Raleigh to consult with State authorities as to the form and procedure to be taken in calling the election. Should the citizens approve the issue or issues, the board proposes to issue bonds in $1,000 denominations to tall due one each year, beginning In 1941, when the remainder of the water and sewer bond Issue will have been retired. The commissioners were influenced in their action in calling for the bond issues, by the fact that around $15,000 worth of curbing and gutter work can be done at this time for a cost of around $5,000 due to PWA assistance available now, and due to demand on the part of the citizens generally that better fire fighting facilities be provided for the benefit of the property owners Another consideration was the present easiness of the money market which should enable the town at this time to sell its bonds at a much lower rate of interest than would usually be the case. Jim Moore Sr. was appointed registrar and Frank Serls Sr. and A. W. Hall Sr. were appointed judges of election. Decision to call the bond issue came through unanimous vote of the commissioners. I G.
