Bump Gon?
State workers are shown busily reworking the area
known as Bump, N. C. to eliminate the bump from the
roadway. The question is ? Will Bump. N.C., Nut
Sanctuary, remain? This country crossroads between
Kenansville and Warsaw is all in an uproar. "We
bother no-one," says a life-long resident of the area.
"But it seems like every time we turn around, someone
is messing with our crossroads." The traffic flow is
presently north and south; however.' some five years
ago the traffic flow was east and west. When the flow
changed, or the stop signs were moved to the other
road, a bump, which was unnoticed when you had to
stop, was there. The State promptly put up a yellow and
black sign declaring "Bump." As this crossroads has a
country store located at it, and local folks gather on
rainy, non-working days (and sometime* ?? ""vki?o
days), folks needed to be somewhere rather than "just
at the store.". . .So a local radio station talk show host
came up with "Bump, N.C." Soon a city limits sign
appeared on a utility pole; next red and white license
plates were being sold. One of the State supervisors
said the bump was being removed because Mr. Sewell
of Jacksonville said the bump was too bad. Mr. Sewell
is on the State Roads Board. Store owner C.M. Outlaw
said if Mr. Sewell had been driving the speed limit, the
bump would not have been bad. The speed limit is 55
miles-per-hour and the cautionary limit posted is 35
m.p.h. The bump in the road is gone ? dug out and
paved over. The signs remain for the time being. But it
appears this legend of a place ? Bump, N.C. 1? has
lost its namesake, a bump in the road.
Warsaw Accepts Grant
The town Board accepted a
$750,000 community development
block grant last week that will result
in rehabilitation of 35 houses, im
provement to 3,650 feet of streets
and installation of 1,600 feet of storm
drains in the next few months.
The town of Warsaw will con
tribute $25,000 for street improve
ments.
The board awarded McDavid
Associates of Kenansville the engi
neering contract on a bid of $42,725
and the administration and rehabili
tation supervision contract on a bid
of $75,676.
Commissioner Graham Hood
voted against the contract awards,
saying the board should obtain
additional bids. Mayor Sam Godwin
said the bids totaled 15.78 percent of
the grant.
Town Clerx Alfred Herring ^aid he
sent eight bid invitations and re
ceived two responses. Only one re
sponse. McDavid's, was a bid. The
other was an offer to negotiate, he
told the board.
Tyndal Lewis of McDavid ex
plained that the government
required paper work and the detail
work on 35 individual house bids
pushed the administration and re
habilitation costs upward.
The work will be done in the Frog
Pond community in the northwestern
part of Warsaw along Prospect,
Williams and Lizzie streets, just
south of the Clinton branch of the
Seaboard System Railroad.
Twenty-three substandard dwell
ings require major improvements
and six require minor improvements.
Six substandard mobile homes also
require minor rehabilitation.
The project description estimates
the average cost at a dwelling re
quiring major repairs will be $12,500
and for those requiring minor re
pairs. $9,000.
Six dwellings and two mobile
homes in the area meet standard
requirements, according to the engi
neering summary.
The 3;650 feet of reconstructed
streets will include 1,600 feet of
storm piping. The project description
said, "No assessment fees of any
type will be charged for the street
and drainage improvements, since
the majority of the area's property
owners are low or moderate income
and could not afford the assessment
charges."
Twenty of the substandard dwell
ings are occupied by owners who are
characterized as having low or
moderate incomes. The rehabilita
tion of owner-occupied houses will
be financed by 100 percent direct
grants.
Owners of some of the 15 sub
standard rental units were described
as having high enough incomes to
pay back the cost of improvements.
