Cedar Rock Voters Approve New Brick School, Aug. 23, 1919

From The Franklin Times, Louisburg, N.C., Aug. 23, 1919

Build New School House. . . Cedar Rock District Votes Bonds. . . Out of 82 Registered, 53 Voted for the Brick Structure

Cedar Rock School District took the lead in Franklin County in bonding itself to build a new and more commodious school building when on last Saturday the citizens of the district went out to the polls and voted a bond issue of $7,500 as their part for the construction of a more modern school. The law is new in its use in Franklin County and Cedar Rock school district is the first rural district to avail themselves of its benefits.

The registration books totaled 82 qualified voter out of which 53 were for the bond issue, with a vote of 5 against the issue. As the law requires a majority vote of the registration, it shows that the issue was carried by a necessary majority.

The citizens of Cedar Rock School District are progressive and usually get on the right side of every question, and in the result of the election on Saturday they have just cause to feel proud. We are sure that with this spirit continuing they will have a school and building excelled by none in the county.
