Newport town commissioners passed two resolutions at
their meeting Tuesday night, which may lead to the town’s
getting a sewage treatment and disposal plant. The reso
lutions authorized Mayor Leon Mann Jr. to sign an appli
cation for planning funds and to sign a contract with an
engineering firm to prepare plans for the plant.
C. C. Tilley, a representative of William F. Freeman
Inc. of High Point, an engineering**
firm, attended the meeting. He
displayed a map drawn in 1952,
when the town discussed such a
plant.
Mr. Tilley was told that the town
area has been enlarged since 1952
and many new homes have been
erected. He said his company
would have to send a man to New
port to bring the map up to date
and perhaps modify the system
suggested ten years ago.
Mayor Mann commented to the
board that he is not proposing
•another bonded debt for the town,
but he felt the town should be prc
pared in case the opportunity to
obtain funds presented itself. Com
missioner Dick Lockey expressed
the opinion that there would be
100 per cent cooperation on the
project.
Mr. Tilley said the estimated
cost of the entire project in 1952
was $256,000. The board agreed
that it would probably take an ad
ditional $100,000 now.
Mr. Tilley advised the board that
there is a federal agency which
lends up to 30 per cent of funds
for planning sewage treatment and
disposal uaks. He said that the
loan .rides not have to be repaid
untfTconstruction of the plant be
gfns.
Mr. Tilley said it is necessary
to sign a contract with a planning
engineer before making application
for funds and to give reasonable
proof that the project can be paid
for. lie distributed copies of a
contract for the board to read.
Town attorney George W. Ball
questioned Mr. Tilley about sev
eral item# in the contract, then
gave his approval of it. Tb® board
discussed the different ways to. fi
nance the project, but made no
decision. They agreed to await the
outcome of the application for plan
ning funds.
Raymond Edwards, police com
missioner, reported that he had
received several complaints about
stray dogs. He asked the attorney
if he could go on to private prop
erty and shoot the dogs, if the prop
erty owner requested him to. do so.
Attorney Ball told him that he
could not shoot a dog outright, but
if the dog was destroying live
stock, chickens, etc. he would be
justified.
Commissioner Edwards reported
that seven warrants were issued
in March. One man was found
guilty in court and fined $22, he
said. The board agreed to pur
