The explanation -was that out of City parkers were not fined and that certain other infractions were forgiven. The tickets .had beten cancelled without evidence of authority, however, which ffltde it impracti cable to determine the accuracy of the cancellations. This policy ,has been changed subsequent to the agdit and also the method of receiving funds from meters, to insure their accountability.

Mr. Phillips told the Herald'Tues day that he had obtained the in formation, himself, from the two firms and did not intend to infer, as appeared from- the Monday night discussion, that the two firms had complained to him. . Mr. Phillips also charged that Chief of ' Police Hugh A. Logan, Jr., had "employed a plaincothes 'man who has made no arrests | other than drunks, since he Join ed the force." I Mayor Bridges repied, "I think the town's getting along pretty well. I'm proud to be here," and : stated /urther, "I've been fair, ; I've worked hard, and I've no1 jbeen crooked about anything." Mr. Phillips tolds the Mayor, r -you'll be beat next time," and 1 there followed a comparison of vote totals In the 1953 city elec tion. Mr, Phillips told the Mayor, ("I received 930 votes, more than 'you got," and the Mayor replied thut Phillips had had less opposi tion. ! Mr. , Dllllng, in obvious ' refer ence to the letter on the city au dit published last week, said, "They tell me they can't find all the receipts " I Mayor Bridges rteplied that the auditor was referring to the mat ching of purchase orders with checks paid. I Mr, Dllllng then wanted to I know, "What about erasures In ?the tax evaluations?", and J. W, Webster, city gas tap salesman and building Inspector, interpos ed an explanation saying one era sure concerned his property, fol lowing complaint to the county tax appraisal office. Mr. Webster also stated, "It took Cooke 15 minutes to audit the tax books." Mr. Bridges noted, "New audi tors, new methods " Mr, Dllllng then askted about the reported parking meter tic ket cancellations, and Mayor | Bridges replied, "No wart-ants | were issued on parking meter ci tations. In the first place, park ing metters are not legal, though I we don't want to advertise it." To Mr. DiUing's statement he'd like his ticket-payments refunded, Mr. Bridges replied, 'The auditor won't let you have it back." MORE ABOUT Condemnation Continued From Front Page party names a representative to a three-man appraisal team, with the two appointees to name a third. City Attorney Davis said filing of the appraisal team's re port would enable the cfty to ob tain the necessary court order fo ? proceeding with the construc tion.

If passed by the sharehold er*, it would become effective upon approval by the state au thorities. Adoption of thte proposed a raendment would result in the in duction of the present par value of the common stock from $2,50 per share to $1.00 per share, and an increase in the authorized number of common shares from 1,000,000 to 2,500.000. . , If the proposed amendment is approved, each of the present $2.50 par value shares will be come a $1.00 par value share. On December 6, 1954, two additional shares will be issued for each share held on November 10th. Mr. H. Conrad Meyer, Chair man, stated the Management feels this 3-for-l split will place the Company's stock In a more marketable bracket and should also result in a wider distribution of the stock. It is believed that such action would be in the in terest of both the Company and its shareholders. There are presently outstand ing 321,061 shares of common stock. This would be equivalent to 963,183 shares on the split ba 18 - October 18, Mr. McDaniel re ported not a single instance of excess consumption. "In fact," Mr. McDaniel stat ed, "the drop in consumption is amazing. Customers who normal ly use 3,000 gallons were meter ed at 1,000, and customers using 8,000-10,000 normally were meter ed at 3.000. They've . really cut down." *' ?is. ' ; Foote paid in March, 1949, a 100 percent, stock dividend equi valent to a 2-for-l split, and id April, 1951, paid a 900 pefoeht stock dividend equivalent to a 4 Ior-1 split. MORS ABOUT Hazel Continued On Page Bight tain, and H. P. Anthony. Jr., 'of Gastonia, wtere among a group of deer hunters at Lake Wacca maw who underwent a harrowing experience. Mr. Gamble's party decided to vacate their lodge and headed inland. Alter driving 13 miles, the fury of the storm broke around them, and trees, telephone lines, and debris began falling on the road. One time thte motor drowned, but lat??r iir? ed again and the group made their way to Lumberton. There, Mr. Gamble Said, water got into the brake drums of the car ren dering the brakes useless. .
