AND FRIDAY HAD NO SUNDAE Old Rob Cnitoe hod his Fridoy, sundaes he had nof; COCONUT ISLES he ne'er had fasted, oh how sad his lot. Gordon^s Gin lOOK KIRML aiMTS mSllliED FROM RRAIM « 60RnflrSBaFttMG0..im.tPIDEIi.M.i‘ up from the second Tuesday night of the month to the first Thursday —to fit in with vacation schedules —the town council adopted two well-discussed and potentially far- reaching ordinances last week: one creating a planning board for the town and another that re quires council approval before any subdivision plat of land, in or within one mile of town, can be recorded at the office of the regis ter of deeds in Carthage. Full text of the planning board ordinance appears on page seven and of the subdivision law on page 11, in today’s PUot. Board Appointed Five members were appointed by the council to the planning board which replaces the zoning board, as formerly organized here. Legally, a zoning board is set up to work out a zoning ordinance for a community and then is dis solved. The planning board, which has legal status in this state, replaces and extends the duties of a zoning board. Donald Case, former chairman of the zoning hoard, was named to a five-year term on the plan ning; Mrs. Katherine N. McColl for four years; Maj. Gen. Julian F. Barnes of Knollwood for three years; R. L. Chandler, Jr., for two years; and Walter Gore of West Southern Pines for one year. Mr. Case, Mrs. McColl and Mr. Chandler all served on the now dissolved zoning board. Under the planning board reg ulation, plats must be submitted to the board by land developers and the board will then make its recommendation to the council as to approval of each plat. Two items on the docket that were deferred to the September meeting for action, after discus sion, were: 1. A resolution regulating ac ceptance of new streets for main tenance by thie town, under which the town would open 100 feet of street for each house to be served on it and whicli would require that all permanent improvements, such as curb and gutter, be made on the street before it is accepted by the town. Town Manager Tom E. Cunningham told the council that it is costing $30,000 annually to maintain 35 miles of streets here now and that, in his opinion, the town is accepting more streets than it can maintain under pres ent regulations. 2. A resolution that would con tinue a fire hydrant charge on all privately owned watei; lines car rying city water outside the town limits, but would discontinue this charge on town-owned lines out side the limits. Councilman L. T, Clark moved to table the resolu tion until September, meanwhile sending a copy of the resolution to owners of all outside lines, with a letter explaining that the towm is willing to work out an agree ment with them and that they will be able to get their invest ment back if the lines are dedicat ed to the town. The council ap proved the suggestion. Installation of curb and gutter on both sides of the 100 block of E. Rhode Island Ave. was author ized following receipt of a petition signed, according to law, by more than 51 per cent of the abutting property owners. 'The petition was signed by H. N. Cameron and Haynes Britt, two owners who own 700 of the 800 feet frontage on both sides of the block. Possibility of a lease-purchase agreement to meet the town hall- jail-firestation building need was discussed by the council. The manager has written to several built by private interests, to get information on procedures and success of the plan. Need for a tax map was again brought up by the manager. Such a map would' list the owner of each piece of property in town. Mr. Cunningham said he had writ ten for prices to” firms of tax map consultants and had also begun discussion of the matter with the county, as county valuations are accepted for town property.^ Mayor Voit Gilmore thanked Town Attorney W. Lament Brown, chairman of a committee that worked with the Air-Ground School on housing and other mu tual problems, and Councilman Clark, a member of the committee for the town. The council asked Mr. Cunning ham to call a joint meeting of the council and the Recreation Advis ory Committee for 8 p.m., Sep tember 6, to consider the commit tee’s recommendations on swim ming pools and community cen ters in East and West Southern Pines. Several problems have arisen in regard to the statutory debt limit of the town, since the committee made its recommenda tions. The pubhc is invited to this meeting to take part in a general discussion of the VEirious needs which might be met by a town bond issue. Lillian Bullock At Rocky Mount Lillian Bullock, 19-year,-old Moore County women’s singles champion, is Southern Pines’ only entry ih the 'Eastern Carolina ten nis championships, which started Wednesday at Rocky Mount.
