Two delegations appeared before

at city hall.
Mayor J. P. Terry presided and all |
aldermen were present: Hugh C.
Ray, L. S. Reddeck, W. M. McMillan,!
H. L. Fichelberger, James Craine, and |
Woodrow Wilson.
A group of meat market operators |
discussed with council the feasibility
of again putting the local abattoir in •
operation. The delegation stated that 1
Irby Ferguson, local market man, j
who was not present because of ill-j
ness, desired to lease the abattoir,!
and wanted to know how much in
the way of improvements to build
ing and equipment the city was pre
pared to furnish. M. E. Royster, state
board of health man working in this
county, stated the minimum require
ments of the board of health.
M<ctyor Terry appointed Aldermen
Reddeck, McMillan and Eichelber-
ger as a (y>mmittee to make a study
of the question.
A delegation from the Are depart
ment, consisting of the recently
elected officers, appeared to ask
council where the authority lay in
connection with operating the inter
nal affairs of the group.
Those appearing were Wyman M.
Shealy chief; Mabry McCrary, assist
ant chief; Fred Pitts, captain; Bill
Milam, captain; and Thomas P. Ow-'
ens, secretary.
Council was of the opinion that ■
since the department was on a vol- i
untary basis, the members were sub- J
ject to the authority of their own,
duly elected officers.
Additional complaints were heard ;
from residents as to cleaning up and
repair of damages by the gas instal
lations crews operating in the city.
Council again went on record as stat
ing that all local residents were to
be satisfied with the work performed
before the gas contractors were paid 1
the full amount of their contract.
Council adopted an ordinance gov
erning the installation of the gas sys
tem in Clinton, with provisions re
lating to service connections by mas
ter gas fitters, and other problems
having to do with operation and ser
vice from the ciy’s standpoint.
The city ordinance governing taxi
cabs was made to conform with the
state law in relation to transportation
of liquor and narcotics.
Council authorized the installation
of lights on the grounds of the Scout
cabin near the armory, in response
to a request by a number of citizens.
The lights will make it possible for
the young people to engage in soft-
ball and volleyball games, and have
picnics on the grounds at night.
I The council agreed to furnish la
bor only in replacing a number of
floodlights and a pole at the Presby
terian college athletic field.
Council also agreed to extend the
parking meters on W. Pitts street
from the ^ point where they now end
to the Gwen-Evah mill.
The correction of a* drainage prob
lem in the valley between College
View and College Heights was also
agreed upon.
City Clerk W. B. Owens read a
statement showing receipts of $25,-
003.81, and expenditures of $31,-
871.74. In addition, payments on
bonds, commissions on bonds, and
interest amounted to $7,705.07, cred

Ok in h it Over!
D URING the fiscal year end
ing July 1, the Federal
Government haa taken in
taxes a sum averaging $572 for
each man, woman and child in
the country. When we realise
that this is the equivalent of
$1.29 per day per person we see
the immensity of the tax bur
den. Here’s how the figures have
grown:
3.88
1900 ••••••••••••••••••••••••a.^
1920 50.00
1930 ••••••••••••••••••••••••a* 25.00
1940 40.00
1950 256.00
1952 426.00 ,
1953 472.00
We concede that we are get
ting more government than we
used to. There is much doubt
whether we need all we get. but
no doubt that we are paying for
even more than we are getting.
Our taxing and spending sys
tem needs streamlining, but any
movement to reform it has to
come from the people. Elect bet
ter men to office and demand
that they give us more economy
