Concern Over Parking
By Lynda W. Stroud
The Pink Hill town board
met in regular session last
Tuesday night.
Beatrice Murphy and
^Catherine Tadlock from B
and K Lounge and Cecil
Pittman from Pink Hill Rec
reation Center were present
to express their views and
concern on customer parking
at each of their business
establishments. Mrs. Tad
lock complained. "1 think
it's unfair. There is only
enough room to park about
10 cars." She uttered a plea
^or parking to be reinstated
both sides of the street in
front of the Band K.
Cecil Pittman also voiced
his concern over the problem
by adding, "Due to the
parking problem, my busi
ness has been cut in half."
No action was taken on the
problem until police Com.
Robert Elmore returns to
town. Elmore was not
^^rescnt at the meeting.
(P Warren Kennedy, fire
chief, gave the monthly re
port. He pleaded for some
assistance from the town for
electric roll up doors. The
five doors would cost approx
imately $275 each. The deci
sion for purchase was tabled
until the October meeting.
Lester Turner, town
policeman, asked the board
for two batteries for his
walkie talkies. His request
was granted.
It was reported that the
following tickets have been
issued durine the last month:
DDI - 11; No oper. lie - 6;
Careless and reckless driv.
-2; Drivers Lie. Revoked - 2;
Parking Tickets ? 10; and
^needing - 2.
The water and sewer re
port was given with a request
for an air filter at the cost of
$81. for each of two filters.
The board favored the sug
gestion.
The board was also in
formed of some painting that
needs doing at the sewer
plant. Manley Hatch, com
missioner, suggested the
board get an estimate before
making any decision.
Liberty Festival
Volunteers Needed
The 1982 Pink Hill Liberty
Festival has been termed
"one of the most successful
festivals" since the very
beginning in 1976.
Plans are already under
way for a bigger and better
1983 festival. In order for the
upcoming event to exceed all
past Liberty Festivals, many
fresh, new ideas .must be
submitted. Many of you are
individuals who could con
tribute your thoughts,
interest, and a little of vour
time to help create a special
festival this July 4th.
The Liberty Festival
generates several thousand
dollars in income to Pink Hill
and the surrounding area.
Many of the local churches,
civic organizations, the local
fire department and rescue
and other individuals realize
hundreds of dollars in pro
ceeds netted from the sale of
food and other items. It is
you, as individuals, that we
need suotxirt and volunteer
work from if we are to
continue having Liberty
Festivals.
We sincerely urge you to
attend the next meeting of
the Liberty Festival sche
duled for Monday, Sept. 27
at 7 p.m. at the Pink Hill
Town Hall, and keep the
Liberty Festival alive, sug
gests Robert L. Hood, presi
dent of the board of direc
tors.
