Henry Lee Hargrove, (Continued on page 13) County Commissioners Sign 40-Year Lease With Town Warren County Commis sioners have signed a 40-year lease giving the Town of Warren ton posses sion of the multi-million dollar waste water treat ment plant nearing com pletion at Warrenton. The plant will handle sewage from Warrenton, Norlina, Soul City and other lines that may be added to the plant, according to agreements already signed. The county, unwilling to enter into the sewage plant business, had agreed to donate the facility upon its completion to the Town of Warrenton with the under standing that it would operate the plant, but a bond mortgage held by the Farmers Home Admin istration prevented this. The FHA was unwilling to give title to the county until the 40-year mortgage was paid off. Hence the lease instead of the gift. Agreement for the exec ution and acceptance of the lease were made at a joint meeting of the boards on Wednesday night of last week. The lease and acceptance agreements were made by Attorney Charles T. Johnson who serves as attorney for both the County of Warren and the Town of Warrenton. Johnson met with the county commissioners at 7:30 p. m. at the court house where plans to make the lease to the town were discussed, and at the town municipal building shortly after 8 p. m. Mayor Beverly G. White Weekend Break-In Probed At School A weekend break-in of the Mariam Boyd Elemen tary School at Warrenton is believed to have been committed by children, according to Warrenton Police Chief Freddie Rob inson, who investigated the incident. He said a number of footprints of children were found at the scene. The break-in was discov ered at 7:45 Sunday night by Police Sergeant C. E. Mustian while on routine patrol, but may have oc curred at anytime between the closing of school on Friday afternoon and Mustian's discovery, Chief Robinson said. Sgt. Mustian's report in the Warrenton Police Sta tion Monday reveals that the door on the west side of the building was found open and prevented from closing by a small stick about the size of a pencil. The drink machine in the lobby and the nab machine in the teachers lounge had been entered. The front of the nab machine was opened with a tire iron, a large screwdriver or a crowbar The money box was left on a window sill and other parts of the machine were on a chair. The door of the drink machine was open but the money box, with its contents undisturbed, was still in the machine. The door to the school office was opened but no thing seems to have been removed. Entry to the office it believed to have been made by removing the molding around a glass in the door and reaching in to unlock the door. Molding from the window was found lying on the floor. Police officers are con tinuing their investigation. Culprit* will be charged with breaking and enter tag. presided over the meeting and welcomed the county commissioners, before turning the meeting over to Attorney Johnson, who discussed the lease, prev iously discussed by the town commissioners, and suggested a few thanges. The town had obtained easements for a new line serving the prison camp and replacing nearly a mile of old line along Horse Branch. He said these easements should be turn ed over to the county, and suggested that the agree ment should be amended to relieve the county of any responsibility for any suits that might occur in the operation of the plant, and that town and county should " share in the ownership of this section of line serving the prison camp. Johnson also sug gested that it would be wise for the town to obtain liability insurance for the operation of the waste water treatment plant. Following Johnson's dis cussion, Mayor White called the Warrenton board back into single session in order that it might determine whether or not to accept the lease 'with changes suggested by its attorney. Upon motion of Commissioner Richard Hunter and seconded by Commissioner Charles M White, III, the board unani mously agreed to accept the lease with amend ments suggested by John son. Only five members of the seven-man town board were present for the joint meeting of the two boards. Absent were Commission ers Eddie Clayton and A. A. Wood. All the county commissioners were pre sent. Also present for the meeting were County Man ager Glen Newsome and Town Administrator Pete Vaughan.
