Jim Childers Announces For City Commissioner From Page 1-A chase of an additional water storage tank, and the initial study of the hydroelectric project on Moss Lake were .among other city projects in | which he was involved. He i was also a member of the ci- . ty’s personnel policy commit- i tee which was established and heard employee com- plaints and grievances. Childers made the follow- ing statement: “In announcing my can- didacy for the District 6 Com- missioner, there are several progrovs that I feel need to accomplished. Some can be accomplished in a short : period of time, others are ¢ future planning. ¢ The present needs that I feel need to be met is re- surfacing of City Streets. There is $172,000.00 in the cur- rent budget for curbing, gut- ter, and paving. I feel the needs should be studied as to where the $172,000.00 will be needed and re-surface those ae Te oid em mR HEH RE TERA RR WR 2 wy PEEEETINE streets now. “I feel the Personnel Com- mittee should .be re- established. This committee can hear employee com- plaints and grievances, study the table of organization, make recommendations to the entire board for their decision, and up date the pay plan, which has not been up- dated since its adoption by the Board of Commissioners. ‘‘Another project that can and should be completed in the immediate future is com- pletion of the walking and ex- ercise track. “Replacement of bad and deteriorated sidewalks can be accomplished in the im- mediate future. “Some of the long range plans I feel need to be made is the follow through of the plans and actual construction and operation of the Hydro- Electric Generating Plant. “The only way the city can grow is through annexation. I am in favor of making a firm decision of the area to be an- nexed, make that decision public, so that those involved can be informed. Once the decision is made, make the necessary plans for orderly annexation and bring that phase to a conclusion. “At the present time there is between 100 and 125 burials a year in the cemetery and with less than 500 grave sites remaining to be sold, I feel the recommendations as presented to the Board of Commissioners by various cemetery Study Committees should be taken off the shelf and given some study, and plans developed to enlarge the cemetery, either by pur- chasing additional property or expanding onto property owned by the City. “These are only a few of the things I feel need to be done both immediately and for the future. It will take unknown hours of study and planning in order for these things to be accomplished. If elected to the office of District 6 Commissioner I will be willing to spend what ever time it takes to see these projects through.” From Page 1-A him negative.” Dr. Brown served as Davidson County Superinten- dent for 26 years after serv- ing as principal at Kings Mountain High School from 1956 through 1959.
