Our cars get stuck In the mud, we can’t hang our clothes on the line, we can’t raise our windows at night and It’s been hot.” ‘It’s because we’re Black down here, we’re at the end of our rope,” she declared. Mrs. Ellis said she had been getting a lot of promises that the street would 1m fixed but had seen no results. Asst. Public Works Director Walter OUls said the dty’s work on the street was completed and that the paving on the street could begin. ’’Let’s get this project finished” said Mayor John Moss. board meeting to be recognized, but that he was not and afterwards ‘1 tried talking to the mayor and a couple of oommlaslonera and they gave me the runa round.” Short said he has worked tor the city off and on leg 18 years and that he was hired by former Police Chief WU- 11am Roper and R. B. Leonard, then sityt. of public works, as a mechanic for the police department. ‘1 was told I would be on a straight salary,” he said, “but I never got the same pay every week.
