C., April 10, 1969—6-il Former Mayor Urges Support For City Hall Dear Editor: Please allow me to express my feelings to every citizen and tax payer of Clinton on the Bond Issue vote, April 15, 1969. On Tuesday, April 15th, the citizens of Clinton will express their desires to our city fathers on the question of issuing bonds for construction of a city hall. I feel proud of our city as I drive about and see such fine and beautiful buildings as we find in our Clinton churches, our Thom- well campus and Presbyterian College campus. Then in our business areas we are proud to see such buildings as our banks, public service and manufacturing company offices. Yet the very “hub "of our city, our City Hall is one of our most run down buildings in our city. In this rental building one finds nothing but shortages of space, very pour arrangements in every department and a jail far below the santatary level it should be. If you as a citizen have never seen the entire City Hall build ing and office arrangements, you owe it to yourself to tour this building before you vote against this bond issue. This City Hall need has been seen and supported over the years by many of our city fathers. I well remember my years on council when the late Honorable Mayor Joe Terry and Counselor Frank Boland Jr. supported and provided a budget which included a City Hall Fund payment each year. The late Honorable Mayor Peck Cornwell supported this plan during his year as Mayor and further supported the pur chasing of a city hall lot, later to be used as a much needed city parking lot. Certainly we should never for get the work of the 1966-68 coun cil consisting of Councilmen Fred Bragg, George Bagwell, Lynn Cooper Sr., BoydHoltzclaw, Tru man Owens and Talmadge San- ers for their unanimous sup port in working for a new City Hall. Through their work, efforts and support the city pur chased the City Hall property, hired an architectural firm and approved the building layout and design. Most of all this coun cil earmarked and invested our one half of the money for the construction of this proposed building. Then to the two new members in 1968 we should congratulate the Honorable Mayor Harry Lay- ton and Councilman Dewey Oxner for continuing the work and ef fort toward providing our city with this much needed building. I want to congratulate Council man Truman Owens for the fine job he did in helping obtain al most all of the signatures of our taxpayers on the petition calling for the City Hall Bond Issue. A lot of work by Truman and as always a fine job. A lot of work is behind and now its up to you and I. May I ask each and every one of you to vote on Tuesday, April 15th, and allow Clinton to move ahead. Let the city provide modern of fices, a santatary jail, an up to date police and fire department now so they in turn can operate efficency to provide a most val uable service to each of us. May I thank each city elect ed official, past and present, each city employee and each citi zen who has worked and jfromoted this City Hall ideal through the years. May I ask you to vote Tuesday to allow our city ad ministration to proceed with this proposed building now! We cannot afford to let this opportunity pass. Sincerely, B. Noland Suddeth West Clinton PROPOSED CHS UNIFORMS—Shown above are proposed new uniforms for Clinton High School majorettes, left, and color guard, right.
