C., THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1965 TWENTY-FOUR PAGES PRICE: 10 CENTS Hearing Set At Manly Monday On Plan To Repeal Old Charter, Permit Zoning A public hearing on a proposed General Assembly bill that would repeal the Manly Station town charter of 1879 has been called for 5 p.m. Monday, April 19, at the education building of Manly Presbyterian Church, to explain the proposal and reasons for it to Manly residents. The hearing was called by Sen. Voit Gilmore of Southern Pines and Rep. T. Clyde Auman of West End, the county’s two legislators in Raleigh, who were asked to BY TOWN COUNCIL No ActionTaken On Housing Here; Landfill Law Set Meeting Tuesday night, the town council heard a long, de tailed account 'of how a Public Housing Authority operates, from B. H. Marshall, executive director of the Wilmington Hous ing Authority for the past 25 years, but took no action on set ting up a Housing Authority here, as it has been formally pe titioned to do. Action was deferred to a spe cial meeting April 27, with ef forts to be made meantime to find out how successfully small public housing projects have operated in other communities comparable to Southern Pines in size. The council adopted, to become effective July 1, an ordinance regulating use of the town’s land fill waste disposal area by out- of-town users. The oiidinance requires pay ment of a fee and •obtaining a permit by such users, authorizes posting of hours of operation, forbids littering of the streets on the way to the landfill and pro hibits salvaging and scavenging there, as well as setting other provisions of use. The Town has formally asked the county commissioners for a $5,000 annual appropriation to ward the $20,000-plus annual cost of operating the landfill. If such an appropriation is forthcoming, enforcement of the ordinance may not be necessary, it was sta^ ted. introduce such a bill by the Southern Pines Town Council, to make possible the application to the Manly area of new “outside” zoning powers to be acquired by the Town of Southern Pines. The 5 p.m. hour of the meeting was necessary so that the legis lators could be back in Raleigh for evening sessions of the Gen eral Assembly. Southern Pines town officials will be on hand to explain the zoning proposal which will per mit the town to regulate land us age up to one mile beyond its limits (see another story in to day’s Pilot). The council was told Tuesday night by Town Attorney W. Lament Brown that the Manly area could not be zoned as long as its charter as an in corporated town remains in effect, even though “Manly Station,” as it was originally chartered, has not been an actively organized community for many years—if ever. A group of Manly residents at Tuesday’s council meeting re commended that a public meeting be called to explain the charter repeal and zoning proposals to the people of the area. ^ ** A, A'* Zoning Bill For County, Towns Is Near Ratification A bill to permit Moore County towns to zone up to one mile outside their limits and also to permit the county to zone areas outside the jurisdiction of towns was expected to be ratified by the General Assembly this week. Identical bills had been intro duced by Rep. Clyde Auman in the House and by Sen. Voit Gil more in the Senate. Last week, Sen. Gilmore amended his bill to give the “extraterritorial zoning” power to any municipality, re moving the general state-wide restriction of this power to towns of 1,250 population or more. As amended, the Gilmore bill passed the Senate and was sent to the House, Thursday of last week. It is this bill that seemed (Continued on Page 8) IN THE AIR— Not a hoof of all three steeple chasers is touching the ground as they topped the timber in the 25th running of the Sandhills Cup at Stoneybrook Saturday.
