A petition requesting paving, curbing and guttering of Rayburn Street extension presented to the Wake Forest Town Board by Com missioner Tommy Byrne last Thursday night, was unanimously accepted upon motion by Com missioner Buddy Holding and sec onded by Commissioner John B. Cole. The petition, dated September 29, 1967, read as follows: “We, the undersigned, request the Town of Wake Forest, to pave, curb and gutter Rayburn Street Extension from the southern most point of existing petition (March 13, 1967 — J. A. Hah'tsfield, Garland Hen dricks, Etal) in a southerly direc tion to the end of Rayburn St. as it is recorded in the Book of Maps 1949. “We would like this work to be done in accordance with the town’s specifications. “The property owners are re sponsible for 2-3 of the cost of this project and the Town of Wake I I Forest is responsible for the re maining 1-3 of the cost. “It is understood that John San- derftjrd and Harold Washington will pay for the Town’s part of said paving, curb and gutter from the starting point of their project through the southern most point of their property until the Town can reimburse John Sanderford and Harold Washington. “It is further understood that Thomas J. Byrne and Mary Sue N. Byrne will pay for the town’s part of said paving, curb and gut ter from the North east corner of their property on Rayburn Street to the Southern end of their pro ject until the town can reimburse Thomas J.

S & W said they would furnish the car for $2316.88 including tax with an additional $68 for power steering and $30 for power brakes. They said 30 days delivery could be expected. The only other bidder, Chappell Motors, submitted a bid dated Oc tober 3, 1967 of $3426.52 with $1125.98 allowance for a ’63 model car trade-in. The balance would - be $2300.54 and delivery would be contingent on length of the Ford strike. The board, noting the closeness of the bids, although S & W did not mention a trade-in allowance, gave them reason for concern. S & W co-owner Harold Wash ington was called to the meeting and when asked if was considering a ’63 model trade-in, he replied, “No, a straight sale.” Mayor Paul Brixhoff suggested that he (Washington) should make certain that John Sanderford also realized the bid to be straight sale with no trade-in. Washington re turned few minutes later after phoning Sanderford. His reply was John Cole made a motion that the Town accept S & W’s bid. It was seconded by Holding.
