City Public Works
Superintendent Wayne Kim-
brell tendered his resignation
to Mayor John Henry Moss
Tuesday morning.
Kimbrell is resigning to ac-
cept a position in private in-
dustry sewer construction in
Manning, Souths Carolina.
He told the Mayor, and in a
letter to the six members of
the board of commissioners,
that he would work a two
week notice and “it is with
much reluctance that I sub-
mit my resignation.”
Kimbrell came to Kings
Mountain November 1, 1984
from Rocky Mount, where he
was employed in private in-
dustry. In the mid-60’s he was
assistant city engineer for the
City of Shelby.
Kimbrell told The Herald
that his family’s decision to
move to Manning, S.C. would
bring them closr to his wife’s
family. Kimbrell’s father-in-
law passed away a year ago
and his mother-in-law is
Too perating from a heart
condition. Kimbrell’s wife,
Peggy, a laboratory techni-
cian, has also accepted new
employment in Manning.
‘Kings Mountain is just a
unique place to work and live
and I have enjoyed very
much my association with the
mayor and board of commis-
sioners and the citizens of
this fine city’, said Kimbrell.
*imbrell sala he planned to
present his resignation to the
‘board at Monday’s meeting
but had not then contracted
formally with his new
employer. “I am certainly
not resigning under pressure
and would have enjoyed
working with the new ad-
ministration in completing
many of the projects begun in
Kings Mountain in water,
sewer, electrical and street
improvements’, he said.
Kimbrell praised the city
administration and the 80
employees in the city public
works department. ‘‘The City
of Kings Mountain is big
business and I’ve been proud
to be a part of this growing
community’, he said. He said
that he is proud of the new
Public Works reorganization,
the new work order system
for small and major projects,
and the new meter reading
system which have been tied
in with a new communica-
tions system which citizens
can dial one number at City
Hall for faster service, also
accounting for high employee
morale.
Kimbrell listed as other
major projects, in addition to
streets, the current drainage
rogram, the complete
utification of the railroad
tracks from city limits to city
limits with stripping of right-
of-way and putting in ground
cover; the upgrading of the
water system, and replacing
of older lines; and the propos-
ed hydro project on Moss
Lake which would supply

electricity to run the water
and sewage treatment plants
and water booster station on
Highway 74 West, put elec-
tricity into the city system
and pay for itself in four
years.
Kimbrell defended charges
of slow response time on
street projects, one of which
came up at Monday’s board
meeting from William Clark,
Jr., of Sterling Drive, who
wanted to know when paving
would be completed in his
section of the city. Clark said
the work had stopped on the
project two weeks ago but
Kimbrell said repairs hud
been interrupted temporarily
because Southern Bell had
not moved underground
cables. ‘It’s just a matter of
scheduling’, Kimbrell ex-
plained. On question of
Comm. Norman King about
the delays, Kimbrell said that
in addition to rainy weather
and a backlog of petitions
which date, in some cases, to
1976 had also accounted for
the delays. “That area has
been surveyed and we have
men ready ‘to go to work on
it”, he told King and Clark.

Rogers Wins Football Contest
Roy Rogers of P.O. Box 185, Kings Moun-
tain, failed to predict the winner of the tie-
breaker game but hit the tie-breaker points
on the nose to win last week’s final Herald
football contest.
Rogers and two other contestants predicted
16 of 20 winners of area high school and col-
lege games. Even though Rogers missed on
his prediction of a Clemson victory over
Carolina, his choice of 41 points (UNC 21,
Clemson 20) won him the $100 prize.
Others missing just four games were Ken-
neth Armstrong of Bessemer City and Robert
Wilson of Kings Mountain. Armstrong
predicted 38 points on the tie-breaker and
Wilson guessed 45.
In addition to the UNC win over Clemson,
Rogers missed Bessemer City’s win over
Mooresville, Florida’s loss to Georgia and
N.C. State’s victory over Virginia. Wilson
missed Bessemer City’s: win over
Mooresville, Cherryville’s loss to West Lin-
coln, Virginia’s loss to State and UNC’s vic-
tory over Clemson. Armgtrong missed
Bessemer City’s win over Mooresville, Cher-
ryville’s loss to West Lincoln, Florida’s loss
to Georgia and Duke’s loss to Wake Forest.
