Board Seeks Cost Fifurw' On Building Schools Now ; ?Continued from Paje One a building program under way? the bonds would have to be is sued and sold, the sites picked and bought or condemned, and the contracts let Mr. Houk es timated it might be possible to get construction under way by April. While the entire matter was discussed in detail, the board took no actual action other than that the decision to ask the architect for cost estimates . and even that was an inform al decision, Mr Sloan's motion never, having been put to a ,ote. Walter Gibson agreed that "the 'first step" should be to obtain information on costs, but indicated he was not, convinced that it would be wise to start a building program at this time. Weimer Cochran, Clint May, and Claude Boone made up tht delegation f^m the Nantahala school district w.at appeaieu oefore the board. Mr. Cochran declared that . number of school-age cliiidre. in the district are noi. even eu rolled in school, and that mau.. moie do not attend school. The delegation thinks the compul sory attendance law should te _.iujrci.u, he said, for the sake jl the individual children, and for the sake of the attendance at school- since the number ol teachers is based upon averag attendance. ?He declared there is dange of Macon County's becoming; refuge for ignorance", and lat er in the discussion sug gested that "a good deal of ed ucation can be given through the seat of the pants". Mr. May said he had seen as many as 12 or 15 children, who liveVnear the bus route, repeat edly out of school. Most of the patents of the children whc are permitted to remain out o. school have about a second or third grade education them selves, Mr. May said. Mr. Cochran remarked that the hold-up case of Carl Mar tin, tried and convicted in Ma con superior court some months ago, is an illustration of what happens when a child is al lowed to grow up in ignorance and said the community was "ready |to pass the hat" in cases where children have to stay away from school for lack of clothing. Mr. Sloan explained that en forcement of the school attend ance law is ,a function of the county welfare department, but added that that department has been unable to obtain the necessary help. It has an ap propriation, he added, from the county commissioners for two additional case workers, but the state will permit employment of only such persons as meet cer tain standards and whose names are on the roll of the merit council- and the name of no one available is on that roll. (The county superintendent of welfare this week issued a state ment on the subject, found else where in this issue.t Mr. Houk suggested to the delegation that the best solu tion would be for citizens of the community to bring crim inal action against parents who fail to send their children to school. Mr. May then explained that the people of his community had wired the school and gym nasium for electricity, and ask ed if the light bill could not be paid from school funds. Mr. Houk told the group that the state does not permit use of state funds to pay electric light bills for school gymnasiums, and that the state budget for school lighting in this county already is overloaded. Mr. Sloan moved that the board pay the bill out of county school funds for the remainder of this school year. Chairman Gordon Moore amended the motion to the effect that the bill should not exceed $5 per GENERAL ELECTRIC l SELF-CHARGING ? PORTABLE RADIO ?

W9?50 V Franklin Hardware Co, Town Board Considers Digging Another Well ?Continued from Fi|e One time to meet this summer's needs After more discussion coa cerning the merits of various well sites, the board decided to ask the water committee to find out the cost of drilling and equipping another well. Last June the board cut the salary of Mr. Long from $200 tc $162.50 and ordered that it be further reduced to $150 on Jan uary 1. The board voted to re voke this second cut and that the salary remain at the pres ent figure It was pointed out that the clerk now also receives $25 per month for handling the parking meter fund. Parking meter collections fo the months of September, Oc tober, November, and Decern ber were reported to be $1. 597.93, and fines for violation of the parking meter ordinan. were $166.50. On motion of Mr. Phillips, th board voted to allow L. J. Mose' who operates a saw mill In Eas Franklin, to tap onto the cit; water system, for water to Us at his mill. He was warned however, that if the supply be comes low, he will be classified as a non-essential user and asked to discontinue the use of city water. A delegation composed of A'illard Pendergrass, Clyde Gall ey, Dan Bryson, and Elbert Hedden asked that they be re imbursed for installing a water main along Bryson street in the Bryson subdivision. It was pointed out that two houses have been built In this new sub division, three are in the pro cess of being built, and two arc expected to be started thl? spring. The board voted to pay the bill. Hal Zachary got a laugh when, after being informed that the town nad not yet been able to get a survey of the street in the Bob Davis subdivision, which has been the topic of considerable discussion at re cent board meetings, said "Well I am up there, and I am com ing out somehow." month, and the board approved the motion.
