The original estimate for issuance of bonds to cover the expense of public projects was $92,000, and this new issue will represent the balance of this esti mate, a $40,000 issue already having been sold. The issue will probably be placed on sale sometime in August. The mayor and the Board of Al dermen expressed themselves as be ing very favorable toward a four vear term for city officials. To Offer Resolution Resolutions concerning this term will be presented at the League of Municipalities meeting to be held in Wilmington July 16. The league will present the resolutions to the next session of the legislature. The question of a municipal swimming pool was brought into the discussion but no definite action was taken on the matter. The funds for this swimming pool have already been alloted, but the city officials have been handi capped by a ruling which limited the employes of PWA to those who had been on relief between the months of November, 1935, and May 1936. The ruling has recently bedn re icinded by PWA officials, and the city is now in a position to make more deflite plans. Mayor Wood son will probably go to Raleigh in the near future to discuss the plans for the swimming pool. Alter Deposits A change for deposits on city wa ter and light services was announc ed. The new schedule Is as follows: water. *2.50; lights, $2.50; heat, $5; combinations. $2.50. This represents a slight change fiom the recent regulations con cerning deposits. When the pres ent administration took office, a tlC.00 service charge for electric stove meters was removed, ,and a *250 deposit put in its place. This was found to be insufficient, so the figure was raised to $5.00. To Trim Trees C. C. Coble offered a resolution that the city obtain bids from tree surgeons In order to have trees over the city trimmed. This resolu tion passed unanimously. The contract for awarding the audit of the city books was award ed. Alderman R. z. Riviere was the «uly member of the board absent.

A new schedule for county school buses, arranged by the State school commission which controls the rotting of buses, was announced today by the office of the Cleveland County board of education. This schedule will eliminate ex cessive mileage and over-lapping between oountles and between dis tricts. Beginning with last year, the state school commission took over charge of the routing of buses, and adopted uniform state-wide reg ulations to eliminate excesses of ' travel. Surveys Route* Last year the commission sent a man to survey this section and to lay out the routes. This year. W M. Jenkins from Cumberland coun tv, was sent here by the commis sion and he changed the routing still more. The biggest change is that the busses are prohibited from ap proaching the homes of the most distant families on their route clos er than a mile. To Illustrate, If a family lives on a side-road, the bus may drive down that side of the road to within the distance of a mile from the house. This regulation also applies to the families who live on the main roads, but at the end of the regular route. Busses Stay At School Another new regulation Is that the school busses are required to re main at the school building during the day. This will mean that ex cept In very rare Incidents, the drivers will be student drivers. The busses can not be used for anything except transporting chil dren to and from school. The only exception to this rule Is that the busses may be employed during commencement services during the day time. The new routings are generally considered somewhat more satisfac tory than those made last year. S. C.
