Members of the Kings Mount

night accepted a recommendat
of t^e club board c' directors tl
It Join with other civic groups
promoting the building of a he
here.
Mr. Myers himself, after fran
reporting that 80 percent of the !
tels built after 1919 had to be liq
dated, credited a considerable
mount of the liqaidatlons to (1)
travagant and inexperienced *
cal building committees," and
[aomwlHlniu^ta^
that Kings Mountain could well

that It would both be operated a
profit and would prove a big aa
to the city.
As an example of extravagar
he cited the case of the Hotel C<

was planned for $300,000. In ad
Lion, he added, an $8,000 sign v
placed on the- top of the' hotel. 1
ilgn, however, couldn't be seen fr

have about 60 percent occupai
"to break even.' .
In response to a question oonce
ng location, he recommended
place as quiet as possible and ,w
plenty of parking space. "A hotel
selling sleep, gnd'I believe it woi
>e better. to nave it in a local
where they can sleep."

Ward 3 Vacancy
The city board, in regular April
session Tuesday night at the city
(hall, called two elections, one I or ,uv
jWard 1 school trustee fo be held t-rtjpjp
|May 6, and one for election of ? "*
i mayor and five commissioners to
be held May 13.
Necessity for the two elections
was found, In the opinion.of City
Attorney J. R Davis and George
Franklin, of the North League of
Miinicioalities. because no provision
num., intm?--' . M?
ments to the city charter related to
school trustee elections.
Mr. Davis told the Herald that It
P|>fca8 his opinion that two elections
a;were now required and H L. Buraidette,
city manager, said Mr. Frank
'* I lin had given the same opinion.
91 Another change from previously
j announced procedure came, when it
; was discovered that the city school
l" i board has the power to appoint
"'trustees to fill unexpired terms. /
Mr. Burdette, using a copy of the >
1939 charter amendments as introdu
ced to the legislature, had fdund
no provision for appointment for un
expired terms. Actual copy of the
bill passed, obtained from the Nor1,th
Carolina League of Municipals j
ties, included the following provlsj
ion relating to school .trustees: "
j In case of a vacancy occurring in
c the board of trustees, the unexpired
3 term shall be fllied by the other
* members of the board and shall be
J selected from the Ward wherein the
vacancy occurred,"
h Mr. Burdette said the provision
was evidently added after the orlgi
T nal 1939 bill wgs introduced.

Voting system on th? city school,
trustees was unchanged by the chat
ter amendments ratified last week.
Only Ward I citizens will vote for
the Ward 1 school trustee, and election
will be by plurality. That,
