board meeting.
T
Chairman Bill Ives arrived
at the meeting, and told the
aldermen that what they had
done (hiring a new inspector
for the city) was illegal.
' “I was stunned when Mrs.
Hahn called me to tell me you
were breaking our contract.
,JTou can’t do that. The con
tract calls for you to give
..written notice 90 days before
dissolving our agreement.
>j!ltou have not done that yet. I
-.have received no written
.notice.
“This was the first
.cooperative venture between
.(he city and the county.
Gentlemen, I am stunned by
-your action.”
in
4 The mayor asked City At
torney Jack Hudson to look
,gvcr the contract, and after
4oing so, Mr. Hudson agreed
4jrith Mr. Ives that 90 days
notice was required.

v Alderman Cornelius Hunt
^hen told Mr. Ives: “It is
•Unfortunate for the city and
.pounty that this was aired in
(he newspapers instead of us
sitting down together to talk it
out.”
Mr. Ives replied that the city
had broken the contract and
Jbired the new inspector before
he was even notified they were
considering such a move.
..‘‘This was the whole problem.
There was never any com
munication between us in this
matter. There was a pure lack
of communication.”
The aldermen then voted to
’instruct Mrs. Hahn to give
notice to the county in writing
JJiat it was dissolving the
contract, and that for the next
$0 days it would use the new
building inspector it has hired
in condemnation work.
They refused to consider the
^.oposal to hire a new in
spector jointly.
In another action the
aldermen, on recom
jnendation of Fire Chief Joe
v
Picklesimer, named Gordon
Byrd an assistant fire chief
with a salary of $50 a month.
Alderman Hunt mentioned
the hazardous condition of the
railroad trestle which over
passes the entrance into a
section of the Brevard
Housing Authority’s low-rent
development.
He was told the Southern
Railroad has refused to do
anything about the trestle’s
condition.
Attorney Hudson was asked
to write a letter to the
railroad, demanding the
repairs.
Olin Names Energy
Director In Crisis

ticipate what will become a
highly bureaucratic system of
energy management.
First priorities, he said, are
to develop meaningful,
practical and quantitative
measurements of energy
usage, aiid to determine
reasonably challenging
energy saving goals for the
separate operations.
“With the ability to measure
and with established goals, we
can determine where we are
going and what we are doing
in respect to the conservation
of energy. Pure economics
gives this high priority,” he
said.
“I assure you, this program
is of utmost concern at the
group level.”
The appointment of a group
energy director was in
response to the complexities
of the energy problems and
the problems of identifying
and accomplishing solutions.
Baldwin said that while the
director will recommend
group guidelines, objectives
and programs, each plant
continues to have primary
responsibility for its own
energy programs, just as it
does in environmental mat
ters.
The new Director of Energy
and Environmental Control
has been with Olin since July
1966, soon after earning his
Master’s degree in Sanitary
Engineering at Harvard
University.
He received a B. S. degree in
Civil Engineering at the

Flood Hazard
Survey Begun
For Brevard
—Continued From Page One
the city limits to which a flood
might be expected to rise
within a period of 100 years.
History of flooding, stream
flow factors and other data
will be used in arriving at
these elevations, Mr. Mason
said.
The 100-year flood level,
which means a one per cent
chance that the water level
would reach that high in any
one year, is the national
standard method of operation,
he said.
Any homes or buildings
below that level when the
survey is complete will con
tinue to receive subsidized
flood insurance, Mr. Mason
said. “But the insurance rate
on any homes built after the
survey would be exorbitant.’’
And a city ordinance, he
said, will require that any
building's first floor must be
above the 100-year flood level,
constructed if necessary on a
high foundation.
The next meeting to be held
in connection with the survey,
Mr. Mason said, will be one for
public discussion, to obtain
public opinions and to explain
the meaning of the one per
cent flood chance.
The third meeting will
provide an opportunity for the
T. V. A. to present
preliminary findings to the
public, with the fourth
meeting the presentation of
the final draft and maps of the
survey to be used in
establishing future flood in
surance rates.
Mr. Kerr said that in ad
dition to the 100-year-flood
level standard, there is a 500
year standard which includes
property where flood waters
might conceivably reach at
some time during that period.
Construction will be per
missable in such an area, he
said, but the insurance rate on
building located within this
zone will be higher.

“Course, after a time the
sugar was mostly mined out,
and they closed the shaft when
the country store began to lay
in supplies of the commercial
stuff. But before the trees and
underbush could grow up over
the tracks, the ski people
came in and started installing
that lift you see operating.
“Next time you go to the top
ask the lift attendant up there
where the mouth to the sugar
mine is. Who knows—price of
sugar being what it is and us
with these mild winters of
late, they may give some
thought to startin’ up that
sugar cart again!”

tributor, calls ditties and
couplets. His note of in
troduction follows:
“Ditties and couplets have
always intrigued me. Some of
the following might be verses
of a song as far as I know.
A sheep shells corn with the
rattle of his horn, and I never
saw the likes since I have been
bom.
Some like cabbage, some
like kale. I like possum, all but
its tail.
When you buy meat you get
bone; When you buy land, you
get stone.
“My father-in-law, Mr.
Robert Gray, who was city
engineer for Bristol, Virginia,
for many years like to sing
this one:
When I was in Ireland I’ll

boys to milk an old ewe. Twi at

And twi little boys to keep off
