Leaders Urge Gov’t. Changes Here tuominueti i ron: rage uno erford and McDowell counties arc anxious lo join with Cleveland in urging this road and he hopes that this road might be put on the state program next, .year. "Up to July 3 last year we had no state roads In four townships of the county. Now we have Nos. 3 and 2 townships without state roads and these should be traversed." City Manager Urged. In urging a city manager for Shelby. Mr. Uinrberger raid no private corporation which handles ns much money ns the city of Shel by, would dare try to operate wi'n a manager on the job nil the time rutting every corner possible. "Un der our system, each administration tries to do something that will leave a monument, of Accomplishment. Usually this monument, is In the form of a debt, or deficit which the succeeding administration has to struggle with. Our county govern ment, has proven < nr of jhe most, efficient in the state and while some people may threaten Mr. A E. Cline and the county board of commissioners, they stand In no danger of defeat as long as they work economies that reduce taxes year after year. I would suggest that the city have a rtty manager of proven ability to whom the city should pay a salary commensurate with Ills worth. Then the aldermen should be elected for two, four and six year terpis so there would not be a complete change of experienc ed to new men every two years. A dozen of Shelby's best, business men should volunteer to sit, with the board and advise with them or. matters of better city government. There is no need for the city school board. All of these matters could be handled through the city council and one audit made to serve both city and school." Another feature of the program was the vocal solos by Mrs. A1 Ben nett, accompanied by Miss Ethel Elmore at the piano. Mr. Newton tn charge of program introduced Mrs. Bennett as the "sweetest sing er in Shelby" and she delighted her hearers with four beautiful selec tions.
