The plaintiffs, through their lawyers, W. Roy Francis and R. E. Sentelle, dwelled at length on closing the county home, and mov ing the people from the home to licensed nursing and boarding homes. Judge Moore opened his remarks by mentioning that, "it is unfortu nate for me to be caught in Hay wood County controversies." lie referred to the recent lawsuit in volving ownership of the Central Elementary School. The supreme court upheld his decision in the case last voonth. "There have been good argu ments on both sides. The only issue for me to decide is the legal question. "The court finds the law says the commissioners have the right to sell the farm, by giving every one an equal opportunity to bid at public auction, and there is not sufficient evidence that they have abused their discretion," he con tinued. "The board of commissioners have as part of their duties, to take care of the poor, affirmed, in their discretion. The commis sioners have the right to purchase and maintain a farm and home. This is given them under the terms of the General Act of North Caro lina. There is no evidence of im proper operation. "It is not a question of where poor people shall be placed. This problem is like the consolidation of schools, it is a matter brought about by a transition period. Now that we have old-age assistance, Social Security there is a differ ent feeling towards county homes, and many over the state have been closed," Judge Moore continued. The lawyers for both sides were to write the judgment in the case today and present it to Judge Moore. W. Boy Francis was not in town at noon, and whether thq case will be appealed was not learned. Grover Davis, attorney for the ! defendants, made a motion to dis miss the case, as the hearing be gan, and repeated it after all the complaints had been read and a number of affidavits presented. Mr. Davis read a lengthy affi davit from Mrs. Sam Queen, sup erintendent of Public Welfare, in which she cited conditions as found at the county home. Mr. Francis, in an affidavit of Jack and Ula Alli son, superintendent and assistant of the county home, denied many of the specific charges. The Alli sons were in charge of the home seven years. Francis also entered Into the record grand jury reports for a number of years. Among the affi davits he heard included those of: Edwin Fincher, former commis sioner; C. E. Kirkpatrick, former register of deeds: J. A. Lowe, form er sheriff and commissioner; As bury Howell, a commissioner for 10 years; Jarvis H. Allison, a com missioner for 25 years, at various times. Henry Gaddy. alderman of Way nesville; Ben Sloan, contractor; C. F. Owen, a school teacher for 40 years; C. C. Francis, former chair man of the board, and also regist er of deeds; Turner Cathey, former assistant county agent, now princi pal of the Pennsylvania Avenue School, Canton, and one of the plantiflfs. ' J. W. Killian, member of the county school board, and former chairman; D. A. Howell, former tax collector; Hufus Siler, business man; N. W. Carver, Jonathans Creek; P. I). Turner, Ratcllffe Cove, and D. D. York, business man and resident of Bethel. Harrison Henson, farmer; Mrs. Lou Singleton, one of the platn tiffs; J, D. Justice, 81-year-old citi zen, who suggested an investiga tion, as he set out in his affidavit statements. Francis also presented petitions which he said were signed by 8.000 taxpayers of the county, opposed to the sale of the 140-acre farm. Davia in his summary of the case, cited two rulings from the State Attorney General's office setting out the board had the right to sell the property under the plan of auction. Davis asked; "Does the count^ commissioners have the right, under (he law, to sell the proper ty?" and, "Are the commissioners acting within the scope of their authority ?" "This hearing is not about the inmates of the county home, be cause the commissioners have pro vided places for them?places licensed by the state." "The board is concerned with the big cost of operating the coun ty home, which showed a net cost for four years of $37,878," Davis continued. Krancis said in his opinion that 85 per cent of the citizens were not favorable to the sale. "The farm will bring, according to esti mates. about $100,000 or more, and the citizens should have the right to say whether it be sold or not." he continued. Francis pointed out that "in my opinion, it is a serious mistake to close the county home, and to sell the property, and I have the affi davits to back me up in that view," he argued. The plaintiffs were: J. H. Alli son. D. J. Noland, Turner Cathey, Mrs. Lou Singleton, Ernest Rog ers, Mrs. Carl Edwards, M. V. Jen kins, and M. H. Caldwell. Electronic Check RICHMOND, Va. (AP) ?
