Human Body, and fifth graders William
Chestnutt and Cecil Harrell concentrated on
The iMve Main Senses. Health teacher
Connie Matthis says. "I am proud of all my
students, but these Five did especiall> good
projects. I feel that these projects are an
excellent means of helping the students in
understanding the human body."
. Notes From Your Representative ?
In the coming years,
Duplin will receive several
transportation projects. All
transportation projects are
funded through our State and
Federal gas tax. Our gas tax
collections are going down
because of conservation and
our road costs are going up
because of inflation. Garland
King is serving on a com
mittee that is trying to figure
out how to get more money
for roads. I hope money will
be found, because the rural
east and west are just begin
ning to get some of the
roads.
Projects planned in
Wallace are: Widening curb
and gutter on Southerland
Street from Highway 117 to
College Street at a cost of
$70,200. Improving the rail
road warning devices at
Main, Southerland and

$137,700.

Street at a cost of $30,000.

Board Approves Issuance
Of Industrial Bonds
Approval for issuance of
$3.5 million in industrial
bonds by Georgia-Pacific
Corp. for a new plant at
Bowdens was granted Mon
day by the Duplin County
Board of Commissions.
Upon final approval, the
company can sell the
tax-exempt bonds, which are
attractive to buyers because
of the tax-exempt feature
even though they bring a
lower rate of interest than
conventional industrial
bonds.
John Gurganous. indus
trial development director,
told the board the proposed
hardwood chipping plant will
bring in $20,000 to $25,000
per year in property taxes.
The chips will be sent to
the newly constructed
Georgia-Pacific, plant at
Dudley.

This will be a two-lane road
but with four-lane right-of

SI00 assessed valuation
recreation tax was made to
the board by the County
Municipal Association.
Melvin Pope. Magnolia
mayor-pro-tem and associa
tion president, said the pro
posal was being made now so
the board could study it
before it makes out its
budget in the spring.
Pope said the various town
recreation facilities are being
used by 15,000 persons a
year and that 70 percent of
these are rural rather than
town residents. He said the
towns spent about $100,000
on program operations. This
figure includes no capital
improvement funds. He said
a criteria should be de
veloped on what constitutes a
recreational program.
The proposed levy would
bring in $53,000 for support
of recreational facilities.
Meeting with the commis
sioners and highway officials
were Mr. and Mrs. Buck Hill
and Dwight Hill, who were
concerned with Rural Road
#1506 and #1597. Billy
Herring, George Terry,
Buddy Brock and Bunny
Barfteld asked for improve
ments on Rural Road #1504.
Ivey Sutton, Ray Carter and
Henry Sutton wanted Rural

Lanier was concerned with
Rural Road #1903. In the
priority listing of 212 roads.
1507 has a priority of 96,
1504 has a priority of 62,
1509's priority is 43, and
1903 is listed 27.
Paving is upgrading, and
so is done beginning with the
lower numbers. Priority

ments first. Priorities will be
revamped this spring, ac
cording to DOT officials.
