INTRODUCTION
On the High Point, Thomasville & Denton Railroad, a locally-owned and successful short-line railroad connecting, through the Winston-Salem South- bound Railroad, with the Norfolk & Western Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Norfolk Southern Railroad, with through rates and service applying.
Air service through the Greensboro-High Point Airport is furnished by Eastern Air Lines main line, Capital Air Lines and Piedmont Airlines.
Sixteen motor-freight lines operate out of High Point.
Charter and Form of Government
The original charter of the City of High Point was granted by the State Legislature in 1859. The present council-manager form of government was inaugurated by charter amendments in 1915 and 1931.
The present charter provides for a city council consisting of a mayor and eight councilmen.
High Point is operated under a modern city-manager charter which places responsibility for efficient operation of all departments upon the city manager and delegates to him authority commensurate with such responsibility.
The charter is unique in that the debt-creating power of the City Council is very greatly restricted. No new indebtedness may be created in any fiscal year in excess of 50 o/o of the amount retired during the previous year, ex- cept by vote of the citizens. Under this plan, the indebtedness of the City will undoubtedly decrease each year, and at the same time, such limitation will not prevent the logical development of municipal facilities.
Electric Distribution System
The City operates its residential and commercial electric system with con- siderable net profit. The City's charges for electric current sold to its resi- dential and commercial consumers are no greater than those charged for simi- lar classes of service rendered by private utility companies operating in this area.
Education
HIGH POINT COLLEGE
Is young: Founded in 1924, it is building its own spirit and traditions today by the contribution of each student on its campus. Young people enrolling here are not bound by the past but are building for the future.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
