Suggestion Offered
Governor Opposes Watered
Down Western Representation
Governor Terry Sanford stat
ed this week that he opposes
any “watered down western
representation” in the proposal
for rcd.ctrieti'ng the senate.
According to the Governor,
there is a move to do jnst, that.
From a Republican represent
ative comes a suggestion that
"Transylvania be added to the
1st district. If this is not done
I will offer such an amendment
from the floor.”
He argues that the six most
Western counties contain only
65,000 people. "This is 25 per
cent below the average, and that
is too much. On the other hand,
the two senators allotted to Guil
ford makes them represent 123,
000 people each, and this is 35
per cent over the average. Thus
you have a spread of 60 per
cent and what kind of demo
cracy do you call that.” The
1st (most western) district,
he argues, should contain Chero
kee, Graham. Clay, Swain,

New Apartment Units
Being Built In Brevard
Construction is well under
way on two new apartment
buildings, one on the High
School road from Greenville
highway, and the other on
Turnpike road in Brevard.
The French Broad Apart
ments on High School road,
are being built by C. E. Coch
ran.
One building, containing 8
two-bedroom units, is nearing
completion.
Mr. Cochran plans to have it
finished, by the 1st of Novem
ber and plans to build 2 more
buildings to eventually hold a
total of 24 units. '
The Turnpike road apart
ments are owned by Gil Coan
and L. E. Bagwell.
They will he duplex-type
apartments, 5 buildings to
house 10 units, each with 3
bedrooms and one-and-a-half
baths.
The Gold Medallion, all
electric homes, will be built
on a “split-foyer” plan, that is
one enters the foyer on
ground level and walks down
to the living room, dining area
and kitchen and up to the
bedroom area.
Mr. Coan estimates the com
pletion date as around 30 days
for 4 of the buildings and 90
days for the last unit.
Both sets of apartments are
of modern design and handy
to schools, churches and shop
ping areas in Brevard.
Going Away To
School? Let
Times Go To
Attention boys and girls who
are going off to school and
college — and their parents,
too.
Let The Transylvania Times
go with you. Enjoy reading
your home town paper which
is, as you know, chock full of
information and news about
all the doings in the Brevard
area.
Parents — The Times won’t
take the place of letters to
your sons and daughters away
at school. Not at all. But it
will save you the time and
trouble of having to write
news items in yourself, and
if we do say it ourselves, the
Times will give far more news
than anyone has time to write.
The cost? Very little; only
$2.75 for the entire school
term from the time they start
until June 1st.
So don’t delay, get that
school subscription started at
once. Mail or bring your re
mittance and the address to
us; well do the rest.
