Changes In the zoning ordi
nances on Gaston Lake were
approved by the Warren County
Board of County Commission
ers on Monday following a pub
lic hearing when no one ap
peared to oppose the changes.
On motion of Commissioner
Richard R. Davis, which was

ried, It was ordered that

Ordinance of?Warren-County
and Lake Gaston Area be adopt
ed In full as presented and

6, 1964.
Marvin Newsom, chairman
of the Warren County Plan
ning Board, who was present
with other members of the borad
and with representatives of
the State Department of Con
servation and Development,
said the purpose of the amend
ment was to simplify and make
less expensive the transfer of
lots In the area.
Newsom said that he was
very much gratified at the de
velopment of the Gaston Lake
and very optimistic over future
development of the Lake. Sev
eral houses have already been
constructed on Gaston Lake, he
pointed out and Inquiries re
veal that there will be many
more. An encouraging note, he
added, Is to be found In the
number of retired persons who
have expressed their Interest
In building permanent homes on
the lake.
A pressing need, Newsom told
the commissioners, Is for the
construction of more roads
around the lake. He suggested
that commissioners from
Northampton, Warren and Hall
fax Counties, and members of
the planning boards of the three
counties, meet with the State
Highway Commission a,t an
early date to expedite construc
tion. The commissioners agre
ed and Newsom said that
he would set up an appoint
ment.
In other matters during a full
| day, the commissioners auth
orized the payment of $175.00
| to King Implement Company In

fare, appeared before the board
to discuss the need for more
money for a sterilization pro
gram In the county. Ke said
that the sterilization of five
women had exhausted the fund,
and that several other women
had expressed desire to be
sterilized. Farrar suggested
that the board might contact
the Hospital In the hope that
they would continue this work
without charge. The commis
sioners expressed the opinion
that free treatment by the hos
pital would tend to nullify the
benefits of an Increase granted
the hospital In the budget. Far
rar said that he would con
tinue his search for methods
of free treatment as he con
siders this phase of his work

ment the commissioners
