Mayor Again
Asia firing
Of Davidson
Effort to hold a special' meet
ing of the city board of commis
sioners /ailed Wednesday.
Again the question of legality
of a meeting attended only by
the mayor and two commission
ers was aired, but the meeting
failed to develope when Commis
sioner James (Red) Layton de
clined to second ia motion to dis
miss Acting Chief of Police S. R.
Davidson.
Mr. Layton said he didn't
doubt the authority of the board
to act, even though short three
members, but felt that a matter
of considerable importance
should not be considered when
three of the commissioners were
not present. v . .
Mayor Garland Still had asked
that Chief Davidson be fired im
mediately. He said Davidson tri
ed to hire an additional police
man when the police department
was already over-manned, and
had illegally signed a bond for a
prisoner, namely, Henry Hamp
ton. He further charged that
Chief Davidson had cursed him
and threatened him the privious
evening.
Chief Davidson was called be
fore the commissioners present
and admitted that he had used
strong language in telling the
Mayor he was not going to take
any further spreading of false
rumors concerning him and his
character.
"II yoir^eU Ilea on. me. just like
I told you last night, I'm not go
ing to take it," Chief Davidson
said, addressing the Mayor.
Chief Davidson denied com
pletely that he had signed bonds
for anyone. He said he needed
another policeman for proper op
eration of the police force.
Prior to the appearance of
Chief Davidson, City Attorney J.
R. Davis had reiterated his pre
vious contention that the courts
would hold illegal the holding
of a meeting without the presen
ce of at least three commission
ers. Mayor Still contends that' a
1943 charter amendment, provi
ding that two commissioners
and the mayor shall constitute
a quorum, has never been re
pealed.
Mr. Davis also doubted the le
gality of the meeting on grounds
that effort to notify Commission
er C. P. Rarry had failed. He, a
long with Commissioners Davis
and Wright, were absent. The
attorney also suggested the a
doption of certain rules requir
ing advances notice for special
meetings.

Revaluation
Finns Accept
County Often
The Cleveland County boaitl of
commissioners in regular session
Monday were informed that Cole
Layer -Trumble company .scienti
fic appraisal firm, will accept the
board's offer of $56,000 to con
duct a county-wide revaluation of
property for taxes.
Previously, the commissioners
had offered a package price of
$84,000 to Joyce Mapping service
and the appraisal firm for the
Joint project. Tax mapping of the
county's municipalities must be
accomplished as a preliminary to
the task of revaluing and equal
izing the tax structure.

two firms, plus payment of local
persons 'o conduct revaluation of
rural districts under supervision,

firm to engage and pay local as
