Barbecue, Election on Tuesday
Zebulon Town Board
Receives Novel Dump
Use Proposal Monday
A proposal from Robert Eddins
that he be permitted to fence in
the town dump and grow hogs
there was brought before the Zeb
ulon Board of Commissioners at
their June meeting Monday night.
The commissioners and Mayor
R. H. Bridgers discussed the plan
at length, and finally voted to
permit the use of the dump for
growing hogs provided no com
plaints are received from the citi
zens of the town.
Eddins proposed to build a
fence around the dump and install
a gate which will automatically
open and shut when the trash
truck approaches and passes on
through. He estimated that he
can grow a dozen hogs on the
refuse.
The need of water and sewer
service for Lee Street from Aren
dell Avenue to Wakefield Street
was discussed. Although it is
outside town, W. A. Allman has a
house under construction on the
north side of the street. Other
houses are planned by Craven
Brown and Home Builders Corn.
Chief of Police W. B. Hopkms
stated that residents of Barbee
Street are reporting an improve
ment in the water supply. The
main along this street is lower
than any other in town and sedi
ment accumulated from years of
use settled in this line, causing in
convenience for water users. Since
the deep wells have been in op
eration, however, this condition
has improved.
Present at the meeting besides
the Mayor and the Chief of Police
were Commissioners R. Vance
Brown, Norman Screws, Howard
Beck, Bob Sawyer, and Barrie
Davis.
Dr. C. E. Flowers, Jr.
Addresses Rotarians
Dr. Charles Flowers, Jr., spoke i
to the Zebulon Rotary Club last
Friday night on the conditions in
Europe as he observed them while

occupation. He stressed his be
lief that the Germans are not re
pentant for their part in causing
the recent world conflict, and stat
ed that they still held a liking for
Adolph Hitler.
Irby Gill, who had the program
assignment for the evening, was
warmly congratulated for provid
ing one of the best programs since
he joined the club.
The club made plans for the
baseball game with the Boy Scout j
