He said/thaT ene si 'j.y maTuys on a lift pump on the east side of the town was broken and estimated that it would cost $2,000 to repair this damage. Mean while the pump was limp ing along. He also report ed that some repairs were needed on the old sewage treatment plant, and said he did not know when the new plant would be completed. Someone said that it might be summer before it is turned over to the town. Another worry invoked was that Norlina had not been able to build its connection with the Warrenton system, and that there must be some effort made to possibly borrow money to get by until the new budget could be adopted. Out of the discussion, the only definite action taken was for committees to meet within the next few days and to begin to act on budget requirements. (Unable to understand from the discussion the status of the regional waste water treatment plant, the reporter from The Warren Record went to see Glen Newsome, county manager, on Tues day morning, where he learned that the new plant is practically complete and the contractors are doing a little clean-up work; that water collections at Soul 5 Sw-^ iy n-/frlct ai» being made b> Charles Worth and turned over to the county as payment on Soul City water bill; that bids on the Norlina raw sewage collectors were being re-advertised be cause bids were deemed too high, and requirements would be reduced, and that raw sewage from both Norlina and Soul City would be treated at Warrenton, and that War renton had a binding con tract to treat this sewage.) Commissioner Charles M. White, III, suggested that W. A. Miles, Jr., be appointed to fill a vacancy on the town board, but at the request of Mayor pro-tem A. A.

(Staff Photo) Energy Checks Received Here Low-Income Energy Assistance checks amounting to $134,987 have been distributed to 876 households in Warren County, according to the N. C. Department of Human Resources. Across the state, a total of 142,000 households have received $20.9 million to help with this winter's heating bills. According to George Flemming, assistant director of the department's Division of Social Services, the one time payments vary from $60 to $514 per household in private living arrangements with the average payment being approximately $147. "The amount of payment each household will be receiving depends on the number of people in the household, their income, the climatic region of the state where they live, and the type fuel used for heating." Flemming said that eligibility for the federal Low-Income Energy Assistance payments was determined by county social services departments during November and December, based on eligibility standards established by the state. Flemming estimated that another 1,000 low income households across the state will receive payments later this month totalling about $147,000. These are households whose applications required further processing for various reasons. North Carolina was originally authorized to receive $35.5 million in federal Low-Income Energy Assistance funds for this year, according to Flemming. "Congress has still not taken final action on the 1981-82 federal budget, but thus far, the state has been appropriated a smaller amount that totals only $26.4 million. From amount, $2.2 million been allocated to Energy Division in State Department Commerce which is being used for the weatherization of homes of the poor across the state. Another $786,000 was allocated to county social services departments for a heating crisis intervention program." Trouble Doubles On Norlina Street The old adage, "Trouble comes in twos," proved true for Norlina Postmistress Sarah Ann Neal last Friday morning. She hit and killed a deer that ran in the path of her car on Liberty Street, and another deer collided with her automobile's front panel, then ran away. "I watch for deer on rural roads, but I wasn't expecting to see two within the city limits," Mrs. Neal said. Apparently, the deer ran through someone's backyard and into the street. "Fortunately, I was going slowly," Mrs. Neal said, "but it still did about $800 damage to my car." Deputies Continue Hunt For Leads In Theft Sheriff's deputies are continuing their search for leads following last week's theft of more than $4,400 worth of items from a Warren County service station. Deputy Bobby Dean Bolton reported that the theft occurred after thieves kicked out the glass in a bay door at State Line Gulf. The theft was reported February 3 by Lewis Richardson. A variety of items was taken from the Rt. 1, Norlina business. Missing were 45 radial tires, five recapped tires, one hy draulic jack, a vacuum cleaner, a pair of jumper cables, two boxes of wrenches and sockets, a case of toilet paper, a gasoline generator, 30 cases of beer, a lug wrench and three batteries.
