this is the way it was:
55 YEARS AGO
Highlands citizens vote to
revoke the city charter by a vote
of 121 to 14. The election yester-
day climaxed a campaign
started almost & year ago to
dissolve the city charter. The
move started when a $27,000 con-
tract for street improvements
was not fulfilled and work on a
sewer system was abandoned.
The town was incorporated less
than three years ago. City of-
ficials include Mayor F.B. Strat-
ford, Commissioners J.W. Garth
and O.Z. Hafer and W.W. Spivey,
city secretary .
