Abstract:

Rocky Mount wants a new high school building costing around a million dollars. It wants it now and the only way to get it is through a bond issue. Under the present law bonds for this high school building must come through the County Commissioners of the Counties which include the city. The Commissioners of these counties are meeting school construction needs on the pay as you go plan and refuse to issue bonds. In response, the Aldermen of Rocky Mount have resolved to abolish the Rocky Mount Charter District, which effects not only public schools but health systems, taxation, liquor laws, and welfare funds among many other things.
