This was the first meeting of the board after the town voted favorably on the $30,000 water bond issue. It had been expected that the tax rate naigbt have had to go even higher had vthe bond issue been disapproved by the voters, and this was the reason the board waited to act on it. The rate was $1.33 last 3fear. The board unanimously voted to accept the gift of the unused lots in Robbins Heights from Rae ford Betterment, Inc., and to give the property in turn • to Robbins Mills, who have agreed to accept it and to use the property for a playground. Dr. M. R. Smith, representing the Hoke County Dental associa tion, appeared before the board and presented the case for fluori dation of the water supply as a means of preventing the decay of teeth in children. This has been done in many towns and cities in the country, and is endorsed by the leading dental and medical organizations. The board appears to favor the move, but did not act on it.at present in order to allow investigation of expense involved. The town is not in position to install the fluoridation apparatus now if it is v^ry expensive. , . i—o —' Large Number Of Careless Drivers, Speeders Fined Too Revival To Start, At Bethel Sunday Night The Rev.
