Judge J. Prank Huskins denied the ministers’ request because “the allegations and proof of the plaintiffs do not amount to a showing of irreparable injury or an invasion of property rights.” When the Ullington town board last week called an ABC election fok August 26, Mayor John Aaron Sett ter hinted that ministers of the town might take legal action in an attempt to block the vote. The result of such action at Morgan ton Indicates that such ac tion might prase futile. The ministers had sought the injunction which would have pro hibited Morganton’s mayor and city council from holding a city wide election July 13 to determine whether an ABC store should be opened for the first time in the western North Carolina municipal ity. Should voters approve the ref erendum it would be the first ABC store ever opened in Burke County as well. < The ministers had contended that state laws giving communi ties local option in the sale of liquor were unconstitutional. based strictly on the written re cords In the case.

Dunn’s planning board today had a word of advice for citizens who might be interested In buying a lot in a subdivision outside the city limits but within a mile of town. Their best advice is: Don’t do it. And if you’re talked into it, anyway, chances are you’ll get stuck and be faced with a second financing problem. The problem was discussed at a meeting of the board here Mon day. The board meeting Monday at Home Savings * Loan Association CtsUmunity Room held the first of its extra meetings scheduled for the next few months in order to speed up Dunn’s Planning Program. Present were Planning Board members C. W. Banner-man, B. V. Culbreth, and Earl Jones, who was attending his first meeting since his appointment July 3, 1963. Also present were Arthur Den nidi, engineer with the Dunn En gineering Co., John Donnelly of the Community Planning Division of the State Deportment of Con servation * Development, and A. B. Xhale, Jr., Secretary to the As the first item of business, it ires pointed out that one lend de veloper ittd stated he was plan ning a subdivision outside the Dunn city limits but within one mile of the Dunn city limits, which he did not plan to bring up to the standards of the Town of Dunn Subdivision Regulation Ordinance which also applies to this one mile distance outside the city limits if the developer uses town water & sewer facllties. However, this developer does not plan to use town water de sewer facilities, but will have his own water & sewer system for the wb cHvision. While it is not mandatory that a subdivision located beyond the town limits shall comply with the requirements of the subdivision ordinance, unless such requirements are complied with, the town will not extend any public service and will not extend its water or sewer tnsiny to any such subdivision or permit any connection thereto. However the difficulty develops at a later date after the subdtvid er has soM his houses and lots and the new owners want to f— into the city limits and get town aenrtoes such as street maintenance and water & sewer, garbage pick-up etc. These new I owners will then have to spend hundreds of dollars, possibly thou sands of dollars, to build the streets and water and sewer systems up to the requirements of the Town of Dunn before they can get these services, this is most unfair to all prospective home buyers if they do not know the situation before they bhy. This Is a cause of great Concern to the Planning Board. Consequently they ask that pub licity be given to this matter. Also, that the Harnett County Bound of Commissioners be requested to adopt the provisions of the Dunn Subdivision Regulations for all of Harnett County as a protection for Its citizens. Also, the Community Planning Division of State Department of Conservation and Development was asked to contact the State High way Commission to request that their standards for acceptance of streets for maintenance be rais ed to comply with the standards of the Dunn Ordinance.

Preparing For Crippling Midnight Strike BULLETIN WASHINGTON (UPI) — Presi dent Kennedy called railroad la bor and management heads back to the White House for a 3 p.*n. test meeting today as he contin ued efforts to head off a nation wide rail strike.

Kennedy, has legal powers to halt the strike exhausted, held a round of urgent discussions with aides at the White House and told the union and management rep resentatives to stand by. The President said he would M tify them whether he would 0*11 them back for another meeting. MAY GO TO CONGRESS One final avenue for Kennedy would be to turn the matter over to Congress to work out a settle ment. Sen. Peter Dominick, R-Colo., said he thought Congress should "pass, immediately, legislation to provide an 80-day cooling off peri od wherein negotiations . . . can be conducted.” The union spokesman said no tices of the new work rules Al ready had been posted on the Long Island, Norfolk & Western and the Chesapeake & Ohio’s southern division. He said workers would not be ordered to strike on roads which did not post the notices.
