Plans for the Town of Bre
vard to sell a portion of the
watershed property have cre
ated considerable Interest in
the town.
At the November meeting this
week, a delegation appeared be
fore the board requesting that
the property be retained by the
Town.
Petitions with over 400
names were also presented,
expressing the same senti
ment.
The Board explained to the
group that the property, being
inaccessible as it is, is of little
or no value to the town. The
group felt that the property
should be held with the thought
that it would sell at a higher
rate in the future.
The Board feels that it has
no assurance that this is true.
The Aldermen also explained
that they have resolved to se
cure a site on Cathey’s Creek
for future water department
expansion.
If the property on the present
site is sold, they have further
resolved to put it in a special
fund for development of water
resources. The proposed prop
erty to be sold has not been used
by the Town for more than 20
years.
A delegation of merchants
appeared before the Board re
questing more parking area
closer to the stores. This ac
tion was deferred until the
next meeting.
The Aldermen also adopted
an ordinance annexing property
along the High School road and
owned by C. E Cochran. This
