The board of commis-
sioners Tuesday night
authorized the development
of plans and funding pro-
posals for a new city waste
treatment plant to replace
the existing McGill Waste
Treatment Plant.
Mayor John Moss told the
board that advance prepara-
tions of a plant design and
funding proposal would make
it easier to qualify for any
waste treatment funds Con-
gress might pass. ‘“We want
to be the firstest with the
mostest’’, he said.
In December 1986 the city
was fined civil penalties for
24 violations over the past
three years of non-
compliance at the 33-year-old
plant. Mayor Moss said the
city is taking steps to make
LL and is pro-
viding documentation to
justify reduction of the
assessments which amount to
$22,068. The Mayor said the
city is spending an increasing
amount of money to maintain
the McGill plant and that
maintenance costs have in-
creased yearly due to the age
of the plant and due to more
stringent effluent re-
quirements.
In another major action of
the meeting, the board tabled
until the February meeting
the consideration of a 20-year
utility contract between the
city and the proposed Kings
Mountain Corporate Center,
Inc. which has been organiz-
ed to attract corporate
development in an area one
mile southeast of Kings
Mountain and for which
numerous tracts of land have
been rezoned to accom-
modate industrial prospects.
Mrs, Haywood Lynch ques-
tioned the tabling of the pro-
posal.
Commissioner Harold
Phillips said additional time
is needed to confer with at-
torneys. Under the contract,
the city would sell and deliver
electricity, gas, water and
other public enterprise ser-
vices and coordinate the fur-
nishing of the utility services
with Cleveland County and
Gaston County industrial
utility policies as established
by Gaston and Cleveland
Counties. Kings Mountain
would operate and maintain
the system.
The board awarded con-
tract to the lower bidder,
Earl Tindol Ford, Inc.,
Gastonia, for five new Ford
Crown Victoria Fords for the
Police Department at cost of
$56,929.90. Other bidder was
Wade Ford, Inc., Kings
Mountain, at $57,916.35, re-
jected two bids for aeration

for the meter department at
$10,517.04 plus tax. The low
bidder was Earl Tindol Ford,

cluding sales tax, but his bid
did not meet specifications.

Cleveland County Board of
Commissioners asking that
Highway 216 south from
Kings Mountain to the cor-
porate boundary of Grover,
commonly known as Grover
Road, but never formally
designated as such, be named
Battleground Avenue as a
historic connotation for both
communities, denoting a
“symbolic togetherness in
their mutual desire to keep
alive the awareness of the
significance of the Battle of
Kings Mountain.”
Referred to the Planning
and Zoning Board the request
of Tim D. Heavner, 111 Coun-
try Club Drive, to rezone his
property to general business
in conformance with existing
business and local zoning
laws.
Set Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. for a
public hearing to receive
citizen input in grant applica-
tions for funding of Commis-
sioners Park.
Advertised for bids for a
tapping machine, with at-
tachments, for the Water and
Sewer Department and one

Department and authorized

Mae Flowers and Grace
Broom, both of Cloninger
Street asked the mayor and
commissioners to ‘‘help us
clean up our street” and the
Mayor said he had visited the
Margrace section on Sunday
and that in February the city
would launch a community-
wide clean-up effort. Mrs.
Flowers complained of
debris.
After an executive session,
the Mayor announced that

Vote YES In ABC Elections
Most Kings Mountain bootleggers are liquor-by-the drink merchants, help-
ing rather than competing with ABC sales. Many charge up to $1.25 per shot,
which can turn an 8-pint limit into $160 cash overnight. How to get rid of
bootleggers? NOT by making ABC stores more convenient.
Bootleggers actually help rather than compete with ABC sales. For exam-
ple, Bootleggers are predominantly liquor-by-the-drink merchants. Many also offer gambl-
ing, sometimes making as much from “house cuts” as from the drinks they sell.
Why would anyone walk past an ABC store in order to reach his favorite bootlegger? He
likes the comradeship; he likes liquor-by-the-drink instead of by-the-bottle; he likes poker
and punchboards. Especially he likes to know his supplier stays open twice as many hours as
ABC stores. And how many ABC stores ever extended credit?
If legal stores could close bootleggers, Charlotte with 16 ABC stores would be
the dryest Tarheel city, instead of the wettest. Bessemer City also has its
hoplleggurs So does Shelby, Cherryville, and most other cities with legal
outlets.
