The ; terms of the sale will be one-third cash and the remainder in three equal payments in one, two and three years, secured by a deed of trust, and interest at 6% per an num, and that the Board of Com missioners reserve the right to ac cept or reject all bids and to sell said property at private sale, if it does not bring enough at public sale, if a better price can be ob tained, at a private sale. For the last two months a cy clone of opposition to the proposed sale of this said property which belongs to the tax payers of Hay wood County has swept out over Haywood County and the tide of opposition is still rising in all parts of the County, and we believe that it is safe to say that at least two thirds of the citizens and tax pay ers of the whole County are bitter ly opposed to the said sale. Because of the magnitude of the opposition to the sale, which the Commissioners obviously know about, we entertained the belief that the Commitisonerg would not, at this time go forward with new plans to offer said property for sale. The plans to sell are doubtless based upon the decision handed down by Judge Moore to the effect that they had a right, as a matter of cold law, to sell the property, but he did not rule that it would be of the best Interest to the County to sell it, nor did he tell them to sell it. In the final statement of the citizens and tax payers of this County, who believe it is to the best interest of the County as a whole to keep the County Farm and the County Home intact, here by urge the County Commission ers to withdraw their notice of sale and hold the said property in the name of the citizens until such time as there is a need for the property to be sold, and authority Is given by the voters to the Com missioners to sell the property. All things lawful are not expedi ent. From our examination of the voluminous files in this matter, we are satisfied that this sale as plan ned is not expedient. The 140-acre Farm has a rental value of from 112,000 to $13,000 per year. Why not keep the property and rent to some reliable person? We request the Commissioners, that they withdraw the advertise ment of sale, and that they con tinue to hold the said County Farm and the County Home in trust for the citizens and tax payers of the County until such time as the said citizens and taxpayers of the Coun ty shall have given their approval of the sale, by act of the General DENY SPECIAL PLANE DEMAND ?
