Moore Urges Development
In The Northern Part Of Citv
By Susan Ellsworth
Poet SUff Writer
"I see a need for development in
the northern part of the city,"
comments Herman Moore, a can
didate for the Mecklenburg County
Commission.
Moore, SO, advocates extending
water and sewer construction to
northern Charlotte at the county's
expense, to encourage population
growth there.
c This Matthews resident's back
ground reflects experience in busi
ness and politics.
President of Herman A. Moore
and Associates, Inc., Moore is also
a member of the Charlotte Board
of Realtors, Commercial Listing
Exchange and the Charlotte Cham
ber of Commerce.
Moore has served as a member
of the North Carolina Senate from
1965-1976, and he was president Pro
Tempore of the Senate from 1967
69.
As a businessman, he favors
delivering services for the least
amount of cost. In the school
budget, for example, Moore sug
gested reducing teacher workload
by having Senior Citizens monitor
study halls at a lower cost than
paying teachers for these services.
Moore recommended reducing
unemployment among blacks, es
pecially youths by "letting a va
cancy be known in the black
community."
A small group can make great
strides, according to Moore, who
says he now would prefer to serve
on a five-person commission
rather than a larger senate.
He predicts inflation will slow
the growth of public programs and
the economy will reverse itself
before the recession ends.
In planning for future trans
portation; we are moving too slow
ly Moore said.
"We should accelerate planning
and implementation in the mass
transit system," he explained. In
stead of a fleet of buses, Moore
suggested examining the possibi
lity of a rail or subway.
"A rail system would be the least
expensive system...having cheap
er maintenance costs than buses."
Although consolidation may be a
good idea for some organizations
like City and County Police and the
City and County Dog Pound, Moore
said consolidation would not im
prove city and county government.
Separate branches provide a good
check and balance system, he
added.
Obtaining services from a large
government agency is more diffi
cult than securing services from
two smaller ones, according to
Moore. Departments and paper
work increase as a government
branch grows larger.
Moore, a graduate of the Uni
versity of North Carolina is a
former director of the Central
^iedmon^Çommunit^CoUege
Foundation Board, the Charlotte
Rehab Hospital Board and the
University of North Carolina at
Charlotte Athletic Foundation
Board.
He is a charter member of
Trinity Presbyterian Church and
was chosen North Carolina Con
