As noU'd in this issue a very
sensil)lo measure is to be" intro
duced in the Legislature, put
ting the matter of .Wide Tires en
tirely in the hands of county com
missioners, in Iredell. Cald
well should have that privilege
also for then in case the people
want to adopt broad tires they
may do so by petitioning the
county commissioners, instead
of having a special act passed.
We have not heard a single per
son say that broad tires "would
not be of great benefit to the
roads and if the commissioners
had the right to order them put
in use say six or twelve months
hence, the change could be made
with very little inconvenience
and expense. Let us'liave broad
tires, if a man wants to persist
in cutting up the public roads,
let him pay for the damage by a
heavy tax on his narrow tires.
The people of Caldwell must
not let these pretty days get
the'r minds off of the counties
needs in the way of roads. We
have a good bill drawn and it
has been sent to our representa
tives in the Legislature to be en
acted into a law, permitting'the
eople to vote on the question
of a bond issue. We have not
yet seen where the bill has been
introduced, but suppose it will
be and then when we have the
opportunity to vote on the (pies
tion we c;m decide if we want it.
We note that an appropriation
of S,(KX) for a public building
site in Lenoir, bus been favora
bly reK)rU'd by the committee
oi public buildings, in Congress.
This means that our post office
building is coming along slowly.
Njw if the measure goes through
congress there will be experts
sent here to look over the situa
tion and negotiate for a site not
to cost over 1 hat sum.
Graded School Building Afire
Salisbury. Feb 1:',. More
than 1,00 school children made
their safe escape thi afternoon
from a tire which destroyed a
laboratory of the Salisbury gra
ded school. Nine children were
injured, none seriously. The
tire started from a defective Hue
on the second floor of an old
frame structure and great h ite
was necessary in removing the
Children from the burning hmld
ing-
Boys from a near by high
ftohool organized a volunteer tire
department and lefor' the regu
lar aparatus arrived had two
email streams of water playing
od the fire. The boys also ma
terially assisted in removing the
Otner children from the point of
dtngwr. Heroic work saved oth
?r scfiool buildings from being
burned. The damage will not
be heavy.
Here's Hoping.
(Gree iille Reflector.)
With the number of judicial
district in the State bein in
crid from 1ft to 20, giving
tint mora judges and four more
B3,icit)ral there duhtto becon
iderble chnga In congested
Alexander's Road Bill.
The following clipping from
the Taylorsville Scout, shows
that the people of Alexander are
having trouble in getting their
Good Uoads bill before the Leg
islature. Caldwell is in the
same boat appearantly, as the
road bill prepared and adopted
by the citizens meeting, here
some time ago has not been in
troduced in the Legislature.
The Scout after telling of the
mass meetings and the prepara
tion of this bill goes as follows:
"After the votes were taken a
resolution was passed asking our
members of the Legislature and
Senate to introduce and have
the bill passed.
Last week Messrs. Payne and
Connolly were both in town.
We learn that Mr. Connolly said
he would not introduce the bill
in the Legislature, and Mr.
Payne said that he might intro
duce it in the Senate, by request.
This means that it will die in
the hands of the Senate commit
tee, and the wishes of the people
of Alexander, in Mass Meeting
assembled, will be defeated by
the men we sent to Raleigh to
represent us.
Now, we are not, at this time,
advocating a Bond Issue or Di
rect Tax; but we are talking for
our people. The majority, at
the meeting on February 1st,
want Bonds, and it is the duty
of Mr. Connolly, after asking
for an expression of the people
and getting it, to introduce this
bill and see that it passes the
House, and then, when, it goes
to the Senate, it is Mr. Payne's
business to see that it is also
passed by that body. If they
refuse to do this they are cer
tainly not carrying out the prin
ciple of true Democracy, for De
mocracy means that the major
ity shall rule. They should
make this bill a law and send it
back for the people of Alexan
der to adopt or reject at the
polls. If they are not in favor
of a bond issue they have the
right of free citizens to come
home and vote as they please;
but they have no right, after
asking and receiving the votes
of the people of Alexander, to
use their power as our represen
tatives to defeat what seems to
be the wish of their constituents
without giving them an opjortu
nity to express themselves at
the ballot box.
Now, gentlemen, it is up to
you, and we would suggest that
you think well before you act.
Will you heed the wishes of ma
ny or will you answer the call
of a few"
