Will Be Razed, No Letup
On Cleanup, Mayor Says
A "clean face" for Franklin
moved closer to being this week
with the announcement by
Mayor Robert M. Dillard that
the old home of the Franklin
Feed Mill would be razed soon.
The old mill, located at the
foot of Town hill, will be razed
by Roy Carpenter, the mayor
said.
In making the announcement,
Mr. Dillard said future plans
for an over-all cleanup of the
town includes clearing a number
of lots, leveling of the Baptist
lot on West Main street, and
washing town streets.
Projects recently completed
under the cleanup program:
(1) Clearing the lot at the in
tersection of N. C. 28 and Main
street (2) mowing the Indian
mound. (3) Cutting weeds along
sidewalks of Main street. (4)
hauling away rubbish where the
Dills' Recapping establishment
burned last winter. (5) Scrap
ing oil deposits from parking
spaces in downtown Franklin.
"We don't intend to let up
with our cleanup campaign,"
Mr. Dillard said, "until the
town outshines all others."
