ratified ty a majority of q lalifieJ voters,-:
The issuance of bonds for paving
streets as in this inslar.ee is a necessary

The charter prescribes that the ques
tion of a bondlssue for streets in New
Bern should be submitted to qualified
voters and that a "majority of voles
cast at .such election, ' "shall determine
the power of the city. A majority of
votes having been cast foe bonds, the
statue is complied with and no cause of
action stated by complaint.
2, The complaint also alleges that
ntf provision was made for payment of
principal and interest and that the
notice ot election was defective. Held
the alleged failure to provide a sink-
ltg fund for the payment oT bonds
does not effect the legality of the bonds
and that the notice of the election at
tached to the complaint appears full -and
complete.

their former selves and seldom ret

feeble it is discarded.

COMMUNITY UPBUILDING
A community advances in proportion to the effort
put forth by its citizenship.
Every citizen may assist in developing New Bern.
The business man could do so by joining the CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE, attend its meetings and divide
time between his business and his COMMUNITY'S WEL
FARE. The citizens generally could do m by TRADING at
HOME instead of sending the money they make at New
Bern to other parts of the country.
Lets co-operate, advance, progress and grow.
