J firecrackers nave been thrown into the Christmas trees on the square. This, Mr. Johnson said, creates a fire hazard. Also, various youths have been seen throwing fire crackers at each other. This could result in serious injury to a person hit with one of the firecrackers, Mr. John son said. The Board issued the order to police officers after P. J. Henn, local theater operator appeared before the Board to complain of fireworks being shot around his theater on Tennessee Street. Mr. Johnson pointed out that there is a state law against the sale, use. manufacture or trans portation of fireworks in North Carolina. This season of the year, he said, is always a bad time for fireworks. Law officers will have to be very strict about the enforcement of the ordinance. Each policeman will be furnish ed with a copy of the law. 'lit other action Monday night The Board of Commissioners ap proved a sewer main to serve a new office building to be built in the J. N. Hill sub-division in the Beal Town section. This building will house Dr. Hill's office. The Board also agreed to accept a street from Dr. Hill. This street will serve the sub-dfvision. Mr. Johnson pointed out that it is policy for sub-division owners to deed streets to the city. In this way. the city is responsible for maintaining the street. This. Mr. Johnson said, does not mean that the street will be paved. The city uses a system whereby residents of a street pay a certain percentage of the cost of street paving. Upon recommendation of Garcia and Associates, engineers for the Murphy Water Works improvement project, the Board approved final payment to the William B. Dillard Construction Company who con tracted the project. The final payment was approxi mately *15,000. This brings the total paid the construction com pany to almost $164,000.
