NEGRO CC
AND
(Reprint From The Democrat)
Here's one feeble voice expressing
the hope that the new
council will act without much
delay in employing Negro policemen
for patrol work in the East
Market and Ashe street sections
of town.
I believe, too, that Greensboro
needs a branch fire station
in each of these sections
and' that Negro firemen should
be employed to operate them.
It seems rather strange that
the very sections of Greensboro
which are most subject to rapid
combustion do not have any
fire fighting services immediateNEGRO

Negro residents. They are citizens

don't pay taxes as heavily in
proportion as do their white
