Single Member
Districts Referendum
To Be On Nov. Ballot
No compromises were met by
the majority group of Landrum
City Council Tuesday night
when a final reading was given
to an ordinance calling for a
Nov. 1992 referendum on single
member districts and a Nov.
1993 election of two additional
council members.
A motion to amend the ordi
nance by changing the date of
the election of the additional
council members to Nov. 1992
to coincide with the referendum
on single member districts
failed in the usual 3-2 vote.
Doug Brannon introduced the
amendment motion, which was
seconded by Fred Williams and
voted down by Mayor Robert
Cogdell, Hollis Constance and
Ray Mayfield.
"In the May meeting Mr.
Robertson (Donald Robertson,
Pres, of the Landrum Chap, of
the NAACP) asked why you
were in a rush to elect two
additional councilmen and you
said there was no rush and you
agreed to the Nov. 1993 date,"
Mayor Cogdell said to Brannon.
"Okay, then change the
referendum to Nov. 1993,"
Brannon answered.
Brannon explained that the
two additional council members
could still run from the added
districts 5 and 6 to assure that a
minority would be elected.
Then these minority council
members would be on board to
pave the way, campaign and

St. Luke's Hospital
President Resigns
St. Luke's Hospital President
Thomas A. Bradshaw has sub
mitted his resignation effective
Sept. 1, to accept another posi
tion in Augusta, Ga.
Bradshaw's resignation conies
on the heels of a Medical Staff
Executive Committee meeting
which voted Tuesday to release
a resolution presented May 20
to the Board of Trustees stating
lack of confidence in the admi
nistration. (See adjoining
article.)
That resolution was presented
during an executive session of
the regular May Trustees
meeting. At that time the St.
Luke's Trustees appointed an
Oversight Committee to look
into problems addressed in the
resolution.
During a specially called June
27 meeting, the Oversight
Committee recommended that
"the President of St. Lukes
Hospital remain in his present
position, and we further
recommend that future rela
tionships with the medical staff
be objective, free from any
personal differences and for
thright." In a secret ballot
vote, the Board of Trustees
accepted this and other
recommendations of the Over
sight Committee. However,
that vote was ruled invalid
because N.C. law does not
allow a secret ballot vote.
The members of the St. Luke's
Medical Staff met in a special
meeting June 30 to unani-
