WILL ILLUMINATE BUILDING
BETTER WHILE OFFICE IS
OPEN AT NIGHT
What will probably be the finish-
ing touches of the Mt. Pleasant post-
office building made their appear -
ance here Tuesday, when the lamp
standards for the illumination of the
front of the building were received,
and Tom Gibson, janitor of the of-
fice began setting them up in the
afternoon.
The standards are about eight feet
in height, and are of heavy metal.
They will be surmounted by large
globes and lighted with electric
lights controlled from the interior
of the office, and will stand on the
pedestals at the edge of the side- _
walk on either side of the approach
to the entrance. When the building
was erected the wires for these .
lights were built in the concrete,
and because the standards were nor
available at the completion of the
building, an extra top of concrete
was placed on the pedestals to be re-!
amoved when the standards arrived.
Thursday right is *he time set for !
turning on these lights. I
Saturday Last
Day For Taxes
POLL TAXES MUST BE PAID BY
THAT DATE IN ORDER
TO VOTE
Saturday of this week is the last
day in which taxes for the past year
cun bo paid without an additional
penalty of ten per cent.
It is also the last day in which the
voters can pay their poll taxes and
have the right to vote in the coming
primaries and in the school bond
election. It appears that there will
be fewer poll taxes paid this year
than last, unless there is a tremen-
dous rush at the collector’s office at
the last minute, which, of course,
there will be. There were around
<*,500 poll taxes assessed last year,
but up to Wednesday noon there had
been 2,000 poll tax receipts and ex-
emption certificates issued.
The receipts for the different vot-
ing precincts were as follows, count-
ing the Mt. Pleasant boxes as thee
were before the recent order of the
commas i ners’ court making four
