Motorists Wince As City Resumes Whammy Use; 19 Get Tickets The city police department put out the whammy again last Fri day after a several-week respite, and the result through Tuesday night was 19 motorists nabbed for speeding within the city limits. Of the total, 15 submitted to the evidence of the electrical speed-timing device, paid costs of court of $14.10 each. Another, nabbed Tuesday night, Nathaniel Whitworth, Shelby Negro, posted bond. Three others, Earl Otis Smith, Floyd O. Morris, both of Kings Mountain, and Karl A. Keaton, Morganton, were issued citations to court. The whammying of three Besse mer City citizens, returning from Friday night’s football game here, caused some complaints from the neighboring community. Besse. mer Mayor George Hook called Mayor Glee Bridges, and other citizens chimed in. Paying the costs on submis sions for whammy-logged speed violations were Furman E. HoL land, Robert Evrett Cole, and William Sam Stinnett, all of Bes semer City, William Horace Man. ley and Larry R. Wright, both of Shelby, and these Kings Moun tain citizens: Glenn E. Etters, Jerry K. Smith, Sam D. Collins, Leroy Gene Champion, Clyde Er vin Connor, Jimmy Kay Bell, Es sie McFalls Jackson and Betty A. Daves. The whammy first got into use last spring, minus prior advertise. | ment, and put more than 40 per-' sons through recorder’s court £>r speeding, either via submissions or actually in court. The intro- j duction of the speed-timing de-| vice caused considerable com plaint and after a few days use the device was put in moth balls’ in the City Hall basement. One city commissioner remark ed recently there had been nume. rous complaints on fast-driving on city streets and it appeared the whammy was the only answer for effecting a slow down. Lowei Rates Foi Big Users Considered The city 'board of commission ers will consider Thursday night adoption df a commercial water rate schedule, likely to ibe con siderably lower than rates which large users would now pay. The board may also take action to adopt additional rate breaks in the commercial power schedule. Mayor Glee A. Bridges said the adoption of a commercial water rate .schedule is under consider ation to help in the attraction of new industry to Kings 'Moun tain. 'He did not indicate the minimum usage which would qualify a firm for the commer cial water rate schedule, but in dicated the iboard is considering a schedule which would average about 10 cents per 1,000 gallons of water for firms using great quantities. Indications from Commissioner Ben Bridges on the 'power rate possibilities are that the board may adapt a rate of 1.2 per ■'kilo watt hour on all over 5,000 KWH, and perhaps one cents per KWH on all over 10,000 KWH. These changes would give some relief to large commercial users who have lodged strong protests on last February’s base rate increase 'from .88c to 1.4 cents per KWH. Mayor Bridges also said the board may consider approving of a petition ilf sign-ups are comple ted, for the paviqg of Ramseur street to serve North School. He said the sign-ups are "going well”, indicated the petition will represent about 100 percent of a Ibutting property if the ‘board of education agrees, which he anti cipates. Cheapest city water rate today on the lone rate schedule is 15 cents per 1,000 gallons on con sumption over two million gal lons per month. State Depart ment olf Conservation and Devel opment Officials have indicated that many North Carolina com munities offer 10c per 1,000 rates •to large users.
