The N. C. House of

approval Wednesday to a
constitutional amendment giving
state legislators longer terms
Because the Senate already has
approved the measure, final
House approval would put the
amendment before the voters.
With a three-fifths majority of 72
votes needed to pass, the House

Town Of Lynn
Bill Dobbyn, loca
correspondent for the Asheville
Citizen had an article ir
Thursday's paper that some 60 to
70 citizens of Lynn met Monday
night at the Pacolet Baptist
Church to begin procedures that
would lead to the reincorporation
of the Town of Lynn
A temporary slate of town
officers are Phillip A Pleasants,
mayor; Norman Foster, Bill
Wilson and Mrs. Mike (Georgia,
Burrell as council members, and
Mrs. Bob (Peggy) Constance as
clerk.
Mr Pleasants is quoted as
saying that Lynn citizens felt
they were being threatened by
the proposed annexation by
Tryon, and the already
accomplished annexation of
Columbus in a direction toward
Lynn on Hwy. 108. Additionally,
he said, his point of view
coincided with that of others that
there was entirely too much
government.
"What we want”, he said, “is
the original boundaries of Lynn.”
The group has decided to
establish the old boundaries of
Lynn which extended ’a mile east
and west of the bridge over
Pacolet River and 14 mile north
and south of the bridge over
Pacolet. These boundaries were
disolved in 1965 by a legislative
act after the town government
had been non-existent for many
years.
