Dispute Over Water Meter Cutoff
Occupies Town Board's Attention
By DIANE DAVIS
Staff Writer
The Warren ton Town Board
met Monday night for their
regular monthly meeting, with
Mayor B. G. White presiding.
After calling the meeting to
order, Mayor White recognized
guest Sherman Johnson, a War
renton resident.
! Johnson stated to the board
that he had problems concerning
his water connection. After the
cut-off date of March IS had
passed and he had not paid his
bill, Johnson claimed that he still
had running water.
When Johnson went on the
morning of March 16 to pay his
bill, he was told that he would
have to pay a reconnection fee in
order to have his water turned
back on. Johnson explained to
water department personnel that
he still had running water in his
house and that he saw no reason
to pay the reconnection fee when
his water was never discon
nected.
According to Water Superin
tendent Bill Neal, Johnson's
water was cut off on the morning
of March 15 as scheduled.
Johnson paid his bill plus the
$20 reconnection fee to have his
water turned back "on" by the
water department. His complaint
to the board was that he never
saw any persorjiel from the
department checK to see if his
water was ever cut off, or after
payment, come to his residence
to make sure that his water was
in the "on" position.
The board commented that
someone from the water depart
ment would check his water
meter as soon as possible to find
any reason for Johnson having
running water even after the
valve was allegedly turned to the
"off' position by the department.
After hearing from Johnson,
Mayor White called upon com
mittee chairmen to read their
reports.
The police committee report
was given by Commissioner A. A.
Wood. He gave the police depart
ment report, and indicated that
Officer Sara Solorz was back on
duty with the department.
In other matters before the
board:
?Town Administrator Pete
Vaughan gave the commis
sioners an estimate of the price
of a new backhoe with a short
block. After some discussion,
Water Committee Chairman
Commissioner W. A. Miles, along
with other board members,
asked Vaughan to check on the
price of a new backhoe with a
long block.
?Commissioner Ray Shearin
noted that a new weedeater had
been purchased at the waste
water treatment plant.
?Commissioner Bobby Ed
monds noted that patchwork on
some of the town's streets will
begin soon.
?Commissioner Eddie Q.
Clayton made a motion to ap
prove the budget amendments as
presented.
?It was noted by the board
that a complaint from a Warren
ton resident was received con
cerning the effectiveness of the
newly implemented noise or
dinance. The board said that the
police department would begin
enforcing the ordinance which
prohibits certain disruptive
behavior "that would interfere
with the reasonable and peaceful
use of any properties located
within 500 feet thereof."
?Mayor White reported to the
board that tax collections are still
going well. He also said that town
tags are still being purchased by
Warrenton residents.
?Town Administrator Pete
Vaughan told the board the time
and place of the regional meeting
of the League of Municipalities
?Mayor White said that three
trees which were on the proper
ty of Randy Renn located on
Fairview^ Street had been re
moved by Carolina Power and
Light Company at no cost to the
town.
?Several board members in
dicated that they had received
parking tickets for extending
their stay in the two-hour parking
zones in Warrenton.
Newly Installed Signs
Point Way To Bus Stop
Persons traveling along East
Macon Street in Warrenton will
notice new additions to the prop
erty near Willoughby's, Inc.? two
green Department of Transporta
tion (DOT) signs pointing out the
location of the Trailways bus
station.
Installed last week, the direc
tional signs are a part of a project
undertaken by DOT at the re
quest of Trailways, Elvis Lato
lais, division manager, said Mon
day. "We made the request about
six months ago," he explained,
"and eventually, all cities and
towns served by the system will
have them." Latolais believed
that the signs would help pas
sengers to locate the bus
terminals.
Latolais also explained an
equipment pooling agreement
between Trailways and Grey
hound that resulted in the
presence here of a Greyhound
coach sighted last week by
several observant citizens.
Carolina Trailways, one of the
25 members of the National
Trailways Bus System, was
purchased last summer by
Greyhound. "Depending on the
scheduling and the availability of
vehicles," Latolais said, "some
Greyhound coaches may service
our (Trailways) regularly sched
uled stops.
Vance Man Hurt
As Automobile Skids
On Slippery Roadway
A Vance County man sustained
minor injuries in a one-car acci
dent that occurred during Tues
day's heavy rains.
According to N.C. Highway
Patrolman Kenneth W. Cooke,
Dwight Harris, 38, of Rt. 6,
Henderson, had been travelling
on U.S. 1, about one mile south of
Manson, when he lost control of
the 1978 Mercury he was driving.
The vehicle ran off U.S. 1 onto
the right shoulder of the road. It
is reported to have then hydro
planed across the slick road to
the left side, before coming to
rest after hitting a tree.
Damage to the vehicle, which
buckled and wrapped itself
around the tree, has been esti
mated at 13,000.
Harris was transported by the
Warren County Ambulance Serv
ice to Maria Parham Hospital,
where he was treated and re
leased.
According to Trooper Cooke,
Harris will be charged with driv
ing too fast for existing con
ditions.
According to Willoughby Har
ris, owner and operator of
Willoughby's, Inc., the departure
and arrival point used by the bus
lines, there are two busses de
parting from Warrenton daily: a
northbound coach at 6:06 p.m.
and a southbound coach at 7:45
p.m.
