Goodson, Chairman Charles D. Owen High School Advisory Council -s- Charles A. Lytle Principal Charles D. Owen High School E. Frank Stephenson Speaker At Community Meeting E. Frank Stephenson of Murfreesboro, N.C. will be in Black Mountain onfebruary 3 for a Community Meeting at 7:30 PM in the Clubhouse on Tomahawk Lake. All con cerned citizens of the com munity are invited. Stephenson will talk with pictures about a Community Development Program in Murfreesboro, a small city in eastern Carolina. An in teresting part of the Mur freesboro development was “adaptive restoration", which means restoring interesting older buildings not as museums but for regular use. In addition to restorations, other projects have added to the general interest and beauty of community life. If they can do it, why can’t we?. The Community Interest Gr-'up, and the Service Clubs of Black Mountain and Swannanoa who join in sponsoring this meeting, hope that the Murfreesboro example will suggest ways and means by which this area can undertake its own projects. We have botu an interesting history and a present potential.

LOCAL DEMOLITION EXPERT Pay Raises For Deputies Proposed Sheriff Tom Morrissey has asked the three man Bun combe County Advisory Board for a pay increase for Bun combe County deputies. Senior patrolmen with the Buncombe County Sheriffs Department earn “a whole lot less tljan we pay a common labqrer,” according to John B. Fisher, a member of the three man Buncombe County Personnel Advisory Board. The board, established in 1973 by the General Assembly, advises the sheriff on per sonnel matters and all programs of the department. Its members - chain..' - J. Herbert Coman, Thuaas E. Orr and Fisher - met Tuesday night with Buncombe County Sheriff Thomas- H. Morrissey and Chief Deputy Herbert DeWeese. Noting that the pay of Bu icombe County deputies is behind that of city policemen, Fisher said, “I have to see this. I’m a citizen of the city and the county, and I read the paper.” “The fellows (deputies) see this, too,” the sheriff said. Morrissey presented for board consideration and approval a proposed salary adjustment schedule for all department employes except the sheriff himself. “I don’t consider this a salary in crease,” Morrissey explained. “It’s a salary adjustment, to get in line with the other sheriffs departments in the state. Based on figures received from the counties of Durham, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Wake and Cumberland, Morrissey indicated the in crease each position would require in order to reach a salary near that of the other counties. The chief deputy’s minimum salary of $13,062 per year would increase to $15,444 an increase of 13.4 per cent. The sheriff compare'1 this to the minimum salary of an assistant police chief, $14,339. For a bureau chief, the - inimum salary would go from the present $10,426 per year to $12,000, as compared to the 12,380 salary of a police department captain.

At the level of a desk sergeant, the proposed ad justment would be from either $8,164 or $8,580 (depending on the duties assigned) U> $9,438, compared to a police department sergeant, who starts at $10,206. The various types of deputy sheriff n, who range in salary from $7,410 to $8,580 would get an increase to $8,996, while a deputy sheriff I would in crease from $7,410 to $8,164. Although he included the police department figures for the purpose of coahpariaon, Morrissey noted, “We are not trying tq xompete with the police department of Asheville.’’ The proposed salary ad justments were unanimously approved by the board and will be presented to the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners by early April. Morrissey brought the board members up to date on the status of the Offender Aid Program (also called the jail coordinator program), sub mitted severed months ago to the Law and Order Division of the Department of Natural and Economic Resources. “We received word in early November that it had been disapproved by the sub committee,” the sheriff said, “but we didn’t receive any official notification.” He said he was told unofficially that such a program was not needed because the prisoners iont stay in jhe jail long enough, “buf nearsay over the telephone is; tot what I can go back ;<> .he ministerial agencies with.” Morrissey told the board that, through a concentrated effort on the part of the deputies, the number of breakings and enterings in the coimty has been reduced by one-third in the past several “We’re taking the position of not reacting to B&Es but attacking them,” Morrissey said. The board unanimously decided th-?i a: open meeting should be held once each year to give the people of the coimty an opportunity to air their grievances and express their praise concerning the work of the department. It was agreed that the first of these meetings will be held once each year to give the people of the county an op portunity to air their grievances and express their priase concerning the work of the department.
