Charlotte Awarded “Outstanding
Achievement” In City Livability
Mayor Harvey B. Gantt was pre
sented an outstanding achievement
award in the Sixth Annual City
Livability Award Program by
Newton 0. Fowler, General Man
ager of Cabarrus Manufacturing
Center for Philip Morris U.S.A.
The program was co-sponsored by

arts to improve the economic vitali
ty and the quality of life in their
community.
Mayor Gantt, who impressed the
panel of judges with his concerns for
growth and development, received
the plaque at a luncheon for 40 City
Council members and arts organiza
tions’ representatives at the Adam’s
Mark Hotel. '
“Philip Morris is proud to spon
sor a program which encourages
mayors and cities to nurture and
develop outstanding arts efforts,”
said Mr. Fowler.
Charlotte is being cited for its
unique public-private partnership
social security program this way:
“It’s one generation committing
itself to another generation.” This
“contract” between generations is
“an accepted social element in
industrial societies,” he points out.
In its 50 years, Social Security
“has had a major impact on how
older people survive in this
country,” he adds.
. In closing, there’s some good news
and some bad news.
First, the good news. If you’re a
Social Security recipient, your check
will increase by 3.1 percent on
January 1.
The “bad” news is, workers will
be paying more into Social Security
the first of the year.

Miniature Victorian Houses
I Proposed For Dilworth Community
By Jalyne Strong
Post Staff Writer
Ground has already been broken
for Dilworth Mews, the first sub
division to be built in Dilworth in 40
years. Sixteen to 22 “miniature
Victorian houses" for single fami
lies will be constructed on the site
bordered by Springdale, McDonald,
Lyndhurst, and E. Tremont, which
is adjacent to the designated His
toric District of Dilworth. The ar
chitectural design of the homes
marks a new approach to “In-fill
development."
According to Beverly Allen,
executive director of the Historic
District of Dilworth, “The new de
velopment is a wonderful project."
Allen is concerned with the archi
tectural development surrounding
the Historic area of Dilworth. “We
like ro save what’s there and en
courage new developers to be sym
pathetic to already existing struc
tures."
She says the planned neighbor
hood is "beautifully done." Allen has
“long wanted high quality single
family development” in the
Dilworth area “It will certainly
enhance the district,” she con
cludes.
“In-fill is when there is vacant
land within a community or neigh
borhood and a need to put some
thing there,” explains Frances Gay,
director of development of AEC,
P.A., the project developers. What’s
innovative about the Dilworth Mews
project is developers. Doug Burns
and Bob Bryan, approached the
“in fill development” taking into
consideration common sense, past
history, architectural planning and
urban design.
“The homes will be very compat
ible with the neighborhood,” assures
Gay.
The Victorian replicas Will be
nestled among the trees of a steeply
sighted terrain in the southwest
corner of Dilworth, They will be
characterized by gabled roofs, bay
windows, shake shingle gables, or
namental trim and mouldings,
large porches, fireplaces, free
standing garages and carports. The
project will utilize existing trees and
be complemented by open space
amenities.
Dilworth Mews is being handled
exclusively by Renee Steiner of
Merrill Lynch Realty. The houses
range in price from $90,000 to
$120,000 offering 1,400 to 1,800 square
feet, two and three bedroom units
with the option of developing the
attic into a fourth bedroom. All units
are being sold on a presale basis and
based on the initial response, it’s
believed the units will be presold
within the next six to eight weeks.
“At this time,” tells Gay, “there are
still houses available.”
Construction of Dilworth Mews is
being handled by Rock Builders,
Inc. Though building was planned to
begin immediately, due to recent
weather conditions, no grading has
been done yet, reveals Gay How
ever, completion of the project is
still slated for June 1986
