Several years ago a handsome
courthouse was built at Halifax
for the purpose of housing the
county officials yet one may go
there during any week day,
when court is not in session and
fine! it absolutely deserted. When
this courthouse was planned of
fices were provided for every
county official, which is suppos
ed to be a central location, yet
upon investigation it will be
found that practically every
county officials except the Reg
ister of Deeds and the Clerk of
Court have offices in Weldon or
Roanoke Rapids, and we under
stand that the county pays for
the rental of these offices. Why
should these offices not be main
tained in Halifax, as intended,
and save this additional expense,
and save the squandering of this
money which belongs to the peo
ple of the county, 'and which
should be expended with the ut
most economy? Jt costs the
county about sixty thousand dol
lars in salaries to run this coun
ty, and every dollar of it is
spent in and around the upper
end of the county, and the bal
ance of the county does not de
rive one cent of profit from this
money.
When the present state admin
istration went in it promised the
people that it would not call on
the counties to furnish one dol
lar for state taxation. Last
year this country contributed,
we understand, about fifty
thousand toward state expenses,
so this year that amount should
have been saved to the tax pay
ers o' the county. Is this true
It cannot possibly be, as taxes
have been increased, instead of
being decreased. Either one
thing or the other is true; the
state Is still being paid something
out of the county taxes, or else
this money is being usd for coun
ty purposes. In either case, the
voters of the county should be
enlightened as to the situation.
They pay the taxes and have a
right to know what is being
done with the money collected.
Turn on the light, make a state
ment, and let the people of the
county know something about
their own business.
Some months ago money was
borrowed by tie county for .the
construction of the bridge over
Roanoke River, yet this work
has not yet begun. This money
js laying somewhere in the banks
of the county. Is the ccmnty
getting interest on this money?
If not, why not? Is the county
