The closing arguments were to
be heard at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the
case of the Polk County Board of
Education versus the Polk
County Board of Commissioners.
Testimony had been heard in
the trial so far from all of the
county commissioners except
John Edwards, and from County
Manager Steven D. Wyatt and
Supt. of Schools Dr. James S
Causby.
The trial went to jury, although
both sides had requested the
judge to hear the case. The judge
would not explain his reason for
requesting a jury until after the
trial.
From a potential pool of 28
jurors, the county commissioners
dismissed six women and two
men, and the school board
dismissed four men.
The twelve jurors impanelled
heard lengthy arguments, very
much the same arguments as
were presented during the county
budget hearings.
The Bulletin will have an
account of the trial as soon as the
jury reaches its verdict.

Lake Lanier
Moratorium Lifted
Property owners on Lake
Lanier will be allowed to build
two-story boathouses as high as
25 feet above the water level, the
Tryon Town Board of
Commissioners decided Monday
night.
The commissioners last winter
reached an agreement with
Greenville County authorities
that enables the town to regulate
construction over the water,
since the town owns the lake and
uses the water as its drinking
source.
Town officials had become
concerned that development on
the lake was threatening the
water quality, especially the
development of boathouses which
had become makeshift party
houses — without sanitary
facilities for the party goers.
The proposed "structure and
use" ordinance considered by the
board Monday would have
limited the height of any new
boathouses to 15 feet, and one
story.
The idea. Mayor Bob Neely
explained, was that the town did
not feel that allowing boathouses
to accomodate "party rooms’’
was in its best interest in
protecting water quality.
But several lake area residents
said the number of stories on a
boathouse has nothing to do with
protecting water quality. They
cited the need for lake property
owners to have a place for family
members to get in out of the sun,
