CALL MEETING OF
; COMMISSIONERS
Number Matters Discussed,
But No Definite Action
Taken
Construction of sewer and water
lines \it Academy street, erection of
a opening up of new
streets, the probable erection of two
buildings on the Hassell property and
"i possible white way were a few of
the things discussed at a called-meet
leg of the , town fathers hore last
fiiight., , .
For the construction of a sewer
and water line on Academy street,
from Hassell to Smith wick, necessary
"eiTW>»nent was ordered.*
The. need for a sky scraper was
said to be a little to premature right
at this time, and the meeting just
jasually uvenUoned such a building
during the two-hour session.
. The proposed two new , streets.
Judging from the meeting last even'
ing, it is going to be a hard task to
make the improvements, however, the
tonfmissyoners are in earnest and it i
is expected that everything possible j
will be done toward getting the two j
1 !"-j osed streets. Mi. J. l!. Staton ap i
I'eared before the board and made an
Offer, stating that he did not'want
to stand in the way of progress, but
ut the same time he did not want to
have his ninety-two feet of property
ruined completely. He suggested that
a street could be run on the west side
of the Tar Heel apartments and thai 1
it Would be of just as much value as
the one proposed to be run on the
e-sat siiie. •
The commissioners with Mr. Staton
j are making a survey of the situation
. this afternoon in an effort to solve
the problem to the best advantage of
all. In their survey they are con
sidering the advantages and „ dis
j iidvantagc.Hjnf thj-ee place's where the
| street might be run. The first place
run dtlered is east t>f -the ptrstoflice;
.i. secotld is in the alley way west of
tin apartments, and a third is be
side the Culpepper Hardware Com
pany's store.
Sir. Statoli stated to the Hoard
that it was his intention to use the
j*l'ot»»» I,v within the next several
> months, hut said that he was not in
i a position to say just when he would
, li e the property, nor "would he state
fur what purpe.se he would use it.
The discussion of a whiteway for
Main and Washington streets result
is.' in an order for an investigation
j «f the an antages and disadvantages
of the removal of wires from the
i main thurimgli-fares.
