Auction Results
In "No Sale"
Kings Mountain's aged landmark
is still standing and perhaps will tx
for sometime, whieh is by way ol
saying that the auction of the Moun
tain View Hotel laat Friday did nol
result in s sale.
After the nine lots were bid in ?
for a total of $20,710?the auctioneei
put up the total, plus building, anr
this presentation attracted no bid
ding. At this turn of events, a
gent. L. B. Padgett of Forest Citj
bid in the property for $21,000 an<
puuled onlooker* *nd bidders wen'
my with the feeling they conic
register "No Sole."
P. D. Herndon, who had pnrrhas
ed the property from Dave L. Bann
dera, eald Tuesday that negotiation!
sere still going on with a privat'
bidder, bnt that the sale had not ye!
been confirmed and he had no an
nouneement to make. .
Though Mr. Herndon had announc
ed himself as owner of the property
majority of citizens interested in th;
sale thought that Mr. Herndon, King
Mounthin realtor and insurance man
simply held an option to the proper
ty. The impression was partially
borne out by the fact that the las
'' paper'' recorded by Register ol
Deeds Andy Newton was a $15,00<
deed of trust from --T. Saunders n
former owners D. C. Mauaey, W. K
Mauney, and L. Arnold Kiser.

Sets Bond Vote
Of $1,850,000
Kings Mountain jptizens, already

I special city bond election, will be
called on to repeat the process in a

: uei i September 14, this one for St,j

Action was taken by the county
| board of commissioners on Monday
Of this week with the big portion of
the issue. Sl.5o0.0dt'. to go for
school improvements.
iThe balance?of ?>;.50,b0u, if voted,
will be used to make additions to
the Cleveland County courthouse at
i Sl eiby. considered to be inadequate
iii size and badly in need of improvement*.
j Of the tl.850.UOO, a total of $165,
j 000 will be for improvements to
schools of the Kings Mountain dlsi
trict.
! School officials had made a rei
quest last spring for the $l,500,00b
I for improvements, but the commis,
siotiers had tabled the request at
I that time.
| Of the total. $1,000,000 wUl be
used in the county system for build1
ing improvements.
School structures in the county
system were described at that time
i as badly in need of expansion, due
to several years lack of improvements
and the addition of the twel
vin grade.
I Under the present school district
arrangement in Cleveland county,
bonde for school improvements must
be voted by the separate districts.
However, it is assumed a ballot will
be formulated to allow citizens to
1 vote to eliminate this district plpn
| in form of county-wide basis.
The bond issue is evidently arranged
on the county-wide basis
which means that each district receives
a portion on school funds oa
