Hearing Turnout Is Light By GARY STEWART Editor Mayor John Henry Moss was the only citizen to show up Mon- day at the Governmental Ser- vices Facilities Center for a public hearing on Greyhound Bus Lines’ request to discontinue local service to and from Kings Mountain. Greyhound has filed a petition with the State Utilities Commis- sion to abandon pratically all intra-state ‘routes in the state. Public hearings are being held in various cities to give the public an opportunity to testify. - According to W.B. Partin, Hearing Officer for Greyhound, the turnouts have been light. Greyhound will go before the Utilities Commision next Tues- day in Raleigh to state its case. Mayor Moss. presented a resolution adopted by the City Board of Commissioners asking that the bus service be con- tinued. The petition stated that “discontinuance of Greyhound’s passenger ‘service would work undue hardship on Kings Moun- tain residents who do not have other means of transportation available.” If service to and from Kings Mountain is discontinued, citizens of the Kings Mountain area would have to go to Gastonia or Shelby for service. “The necessity of traveling to Gastonia, Shelby or other loca- tions to obtain passenger bus ser- vice would cause extreme and undue hardship on those citizens who do not have automobiles,” the petition said. According to Partin, “it is no longer cost-justified for Greyhound to provide local North Carolina service.” Interstate service would not be effected by the request; he said. Greyhound buses would continue to operate long distance and would come through Kings Mountain on In- terstate 85. But Greyhound Turn To Page 2-A en —
