He estimated that the rights-of-way will cost ap- proximately $50,000 when completed. : Replying to question of former commissioner Harold Herndon, McCarter said the town had ‘‘no plans at the mo- ment to extend water outside the city limits.”” Herndon said that persons living in the city limits who need streets and water pay Grover taxes and should be considered before “outsiders.”’ The Board approved $4,000 in capital outlay funds for the Grover Fire Department and said work would begin im- mediately on remodeling of the kitchen in the fire depart- ment.
