bulletin of the International City
Managers^ association.
(Several applications cam)!'' in
this week, it was learned from
Chairman Gilmpre.)
Mr. Burns was asked to serve
as acting city manager, and all
the councilmen expressed their
regard for his service in the past,
and also for his fine attitude in a
somewhat touchy situation. Mr.
Burns has served the town for 26
years.
Businessmen all, the council-
men then buckled down to routine
matters in busipesslike fashion.
They set the mayor’s salary
right where it has been for years
—$600 a year; also those of <^he
councihnen—^nothing.
They changed the regular meet
ing night to the second 'Tuesday,
rather than the second Wednes
day, of each month, on account of
some conflicts.
They approved two ordinances
instituted by the old board, one
designating Southern Pines a bird
sanctuary and the other making
Bennett a “stop” street at Ver
mont avenue.
For a Tidy Town
They discussed garbage collec
tion, and agreed with Mr. Gil
more’s expressed views that a
ed to undertake 4ihis study.
Adjourning, the council made
no plans to meet before the next
regular date. However, the mem
bers were called together by Mr.
Burns Monday afternoon, to sign
final papers for the issuance of
city bonds—$20,000 for the pur
chase of the new fire truck and
equipment, and $10,000 for en
largement of the sewer system
where old pipes have become
overloaded near McDeeds Creek.
Both of these were approved by
the voters* last November.

tidy town was more a matter of
education and civic pride them of
cracking down with the law.
Mayor Clark appointed Mr. Gil
more a committee of one to speak
before the two garden groups and
enlist their cooperation in an edu
cation program.
They discussed enforcement of
downtown parking laws and voted
to ask the cooperation of the pub
lic in stricter observance of the
two-hour time limit, requesting
Mr. Burns to ask the police to
warn all new offenders, and to
fine repeaters.
Referred To Manager
On Mr. Patch’s bringing up the
subject of fortified wine, with a
proposal that the stronger types
might be banned by law without
affecting the sale of the lighter
wines, Mr. Gilmore read from the
bible”: “When important action
is proposed, it is referred,to the
city manager who then gathers to
gether aU available information
for presentation to the council,
and places it on the agenda for
the next regular meeting.”

ent some 75 strong, approved the
project and undertook the appeal
for the additional needed funds
Cabin Is Gift
This week Mrs. Ives was able
to announce that the cabin’s own
ers, James Allen of Star and Ver
non Hogan of Norman, had said
that, while they would not con
sider a commercial sale for the
log house, they will make a free
gift of it to the Historical society
for the restoration project.
This, however, does not obviate
the necessity for raising the full
$1,000, said Mrs. Ives, if the
Woodland Foundation’s grant is to
be made available. It will take the
whole $2,000, she estimated, to do
a satisfactory jol^ of moving, re
constructing and putting in apple-
pie order the combination cook
house and weaving-house, as de
sired.
Once it is located on the Shaw
House grounds, it will provide an
authentic setting for the fine old
loom and the collection of pots,
pans, trivets, etc., of colonial
times which are now owned by
the association.
The house is 24 feet long by 14
feet wide, with doors opposite
each other in two sides, a big old
stone chimney and a hearth for
cooking. It is of the type the pion
eer family used as a h.ome until
the larger house could be built,
after which it continued in use
for cooking, and for the weav
ing of all the cloth the family
used.
Donations Asked
Donations from all persons in
terested in preserving this au

Last week’s meeting concluded
the season for the association,
which will net meet again until
