All citizens, property owners and interested persons will take noltice that on the 9th day of April, 1940, a Zoning Commission was appointed by the Council of the Town of Plym outh, with request that they make recommendations as to suitable zon ing ordinances to be adopted by the Town Council, and that the Zoning Commission has made its report and recommends that no service station, garage, repair shop, wholesale or re tail store or shop, commercial, indus trial or manufacturing enterprise, warehouse, saw mill, planing mil] or grist mill, shall be constructed in the Town of Plymouth within the follow ing described area: Beginning at a point in the eastern corporate limits of the Town of Plym outh on Andrew Jackson Avenue 100 feet southwardly of Main Street, and running southwardly along the cor porate limits of said town a point half way between Third and Fourth Streets; thence westwardly parallel with Third Street along a line half Seeking To Protect $323,000 Allocation For River Dredging I Appropriation May Be Lost Unless Rights of Way Are Secured Necessary rights of way and suit able areas for dumping the silt dredg ed from Roanoke River are being sought by Z. V. Norman, of Plymouth and George H. Harrison, of Williams ton. from landowners along the banks of the river. Imminent danger of the withdraw al of the $323,000 allocation which Congressman Lindsay Warren was successful in securing about two years ago sent Mr. Norman and Mr. Har rison on a trip down the river last week investigating the probability of getting these rights of way which must be accorded the U. S. govern ment free of charge. Two years ago Congress approved the allocation after it had ben under investigation by Army engineers for several years, according to Mr. War ren. who added that the Secretary of War had been ready to let the con tract since January 1 but it has been held up because rights of way have not been provided. The project provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 150 fret wide from Albemarle Sound to a point about one mile, w’est of Plymouth and then a channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide beyond Williamston to Hamilton, and a channel 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from Hamilton to Palmyra. The project has been much desired by business interest and farmers and will doubtless aid the flood situation on Roanoke river, according to the Congressman. Mr. Warren said last week that if the project was to be saved immedia te action on the part of local inter ests was necessary. Home & Club News Schedule for Next Week Monday, Beech Grove Club.
