DURHAM BUILDER BOBBY
Roberts—who bought the mid
town school rpoperty for $1 mil
lion last week has dlso pur
chased another choice mid-town
. business lot. It is the vacant cor
ner lot by the University Bap
tist Church on the southwest cor
ner of - Franklin and Columbia
St. Mrs. Irene Murray of Dur
ham sold the lot to Cora Han
cock and Bobby R. and Ruby
Roberts for $60,000, according
■to official county records.
HOW ABOUT BEAUTIFYING
■the newly-completed E. Rose
mary St. off-street parking lot,
Mrs. Harold Walters asked her
fellow aldermen at their Monday
night meeting? The big 70-car
• lot is a fine facility, but “hide
ous” looking, she said. Suggest
ions offered, none immediately
accepted, were to plant petunias
in the window-box-like sections
that hold the meter stands; paint
the cement wall a pastel shade;
or set up a sidewalk art show
airound the perimeter.
' ADDED INCIDENTAL INTEL
ligence on the new lot: It took
in $17 in. coins on its first day
i Of business—the first small step
in paying off the $120,000 in
debtedness scheduled to be elim
-ipated- m the year^ tOOOt!-7~
IT WAS ALSO SUGGESTED
at the aldermen’s meeting that
a delayed action green light sig
nal for left turns be installed
at the main corner of Franklin
aed Columbia. As the situation
dow exists only one car can
make a left turn from each cor
ajer during each green light, if
■traffic is heavy. And that driver
will have to do it by pulling out
into the middle, and waiting for
i£e light to turn red against
hiss; -then quickly scoot to the
left across oncoming traffic. The
aldermen were, told that State
Ofjiighrway officials fcad studied
the left-torn signal light idea
fOC this corner hut felt it was
. . unfeasible these. -.. .
to be revealed tomorrow
