XLV NO. 1 WAYNESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA THl'KSUAY, DECEMBER 8. 1932 eitemce ears .Rose Get 0 Commissioners Assumed Duties Monday Made A Few New Appointments OFFICE OF FARM AGENT TO BE DIS CONTINUED JAN. 1 Joe Liner Is Named Janitor of Courthouse; Eston Cald Named Assistant MANY APPLICATIONS RECEIVED FOR JOBS Sidewalk At West Canton School Will Be Built By Uiu employed Soon The new board of county commis sioners, composed of W. A. Hyatt, chairman, E. B, Rickman and Frank Davis took office Monday morning and for three days have been busily en waged in their work. The new appointments! were made Wednesday afternoon with the follow ing changes: Joe Liner was appointed as day janitor of the cour(house instead of Mr. Patton, present janitor. Mr. Pat ton will remain until the first of the year. Eston Caldwell was named night janitor. The naming of a county attorney was not entered on the minutes. The commissioners stating however that they had made up their minds as 'to who would be named. As the office of auditor is from April first to April first, a change in this office was not brought up. The commissioners requested that County agent Jas. L. Robinson, hand in his resignation effective the first of the year. The commissioners do not plan to maintain this office any longer. Other than the above appointments, the commissioners devoted their time , to the general routine of business. An investigation was made to the "why and wherefore" of the different ex penses of the county. The general impression of the board, as expressed by those attending their first meeting, was that the new board was going to be hard to get donations from . The policy of the board is that no donations will be given out by them, but all cases will be refered to the welfare officer for investigation. The board, is however, providing tools and materials for the construction and im provement of public properties in the county, and the unemployed are given work on these projects. The board, passed an order for the materials for building a sidewalk at West Canton School. The work will be done by men now unemployed. A number of cases appeared before the board asking for donations, but these were refered to the welfare board for an investigation and in cases where help is needed it will he given, it was said. The hew board intends to eliminate all unnecessary expenses, hut in no way do they intend to Ro so far as to impair the progress of the county, it was pointed out. The new board has made a genera! survey of the conditions and needs of the county and will make improve ments gradually. It was impossible to accomplish all this, however, in three days, when there were so many applications to be considered for the different offices that the commission ers are responsible for, it was learned. Haywood county's new officials went into office Monday morning at 10 o'clock. W. G. Byers, clerk of Superior Court administered the oaths of of fice. There were no public installa tion exsreises except in the case of J. A. Lowe, Sheriff, and his deputies, who were installed in the presence of the court and a large crowd that had gathered to witness the trial of the negro. Charlie Rose, charged with attempted criminal assault. The following are the officials who took the oath of office and began their duties: J. C. Welch, tax collector; Ed win Haynes. register of deeds; L A. Lowe, sheriff; W. A. Hyatt, chairman of the board of county commissioners, Frank Davis and E. B. Rickman, county commissioners; Dr. J. L. Reeves, coroner, and J. R- Terrell, county surveyor. The Golfer: "They're all afraid to play me. What do you think my handicap is?" The Girl: "Oh. I don't know. It might be your face, or perhaps, it's just your general appearance." District B. Y. P. U. Meeting To Be Held Here Sunday, 2:30 Large Crowd Is Expected To Attend. Splendid Program Arranged, J. P.
