Pictured are Micah Burris, Joe Wilson, Brad Wilson, Brandie Glover, Amber LeGette, Water System Connection Approved Kings Mountain commissioners Monday night approved plans for a connection of water systems in the county but spelled out that the city would never relinquish control of its own system. "There's no way we'd turn over any of our utilities to the county," Councilman Harold Phillips said of the agreement which was a resolu- tion adopting a master plan, spon- sored by the county, which calls for the connection of water systems owned and operated by Kings Mountain, Shelby, Boiling Springs, Lawndale, Grover, Fallston and the Cleveland County Sanitary District. In the resolution, the council spelled out that "the existing mu- nicipal and sanitary district sys- tems remain separately owned, op- erated and maintained with Post From Page 1-A committee to recruit an architect for the project. In a related matter, City Manager George Wood announced that the city and the U. S. Postal Service had reached an agreement whereby the postal service retains ownership of the 1941 mural by Verona Burkhard of the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain but gives the city the right to display it in the lobby of the Governmental Facilities Center. The 14x14 foot painting had hung on the wall of the now empty city post office and depicts Major Patrick Ferguson leading British forces against the colonists. The city will share the $10,000 restora- tion cost of the mural with the Postal service. Wood says there's not an adequate place to hang the mural at the new city post office because glass paneling would al- low too much sunlight on it and would damage the art work done as part of a federal arts project in the 1940s. Wood said that hanging the painting at City Hall will allow cit- izens to continue to enjoy and view the work. "We feel we have come out pret- ty good on this agreement," said Wood. interlocal agreements to be negoti- ated by the entities for water sales and major lines for connecting the system furnished by Cleveland County and the affected entities." Another major action of the board was the advertising for bids for a complete new communica- tions center for the police depart- ment. Chief Warren Goforth said an electrical storm four months ago wiped out the main communica- tions console for the police depart- ment. Additional damage came from Hurricane Hugo in September. "We're working now in a walkie- talkie situation and it's imperative we put this new system in," Goforth said. The new system would include a communications console, taping system, base station and tenna tow- er. Board members questioned whether the new system would be installed in the present police sta- tion or in the new proposed law en- forcement center to be housed at the old post office in about two years. "We can't wait," said Goforth, DIVIDEND The Board of Directors of Commercial Intertech today de- clared a regularly quarterly divi- dend of 15 cents per share, payable December 15 to shareholders of record on December 1.
