Town Buys Flusher:
improvements Set
For Several Streets
North, Second And
Putney Streets To
Receive Emphasis

The town council got down to
earth at its meeting Tuesday.
devotlng most Of the session to
streets and the white and color
ed cemetery.
The council approved the pur-
chase Of new street "flusher"
from Rish Equipment Company
for 50 .4083 30 The bids were
opened at previous meeting
and accepted Tuesday night.
The 1000 gallon flusher will en-
able the street department to
keep the town streets much
cleaner, according to tow n
manager E. L. Quisenberry.
This is big asset to the town s
operation" Quisenberry stated.
The flusher will follow the
street sweeper to give the add
ed touch of cleanliness needed
on Farmville streets. T h e
sweeper picks up most of the
large dirt and trash. but is un-
able to effectively clean" the
street. The flusher will force
water out of the nozzles at so
pounds pressure to give a
thorough cleaning.
Quisenberry said a schedule
will be set up to assure flush
ing the main traffic arteries
daily. This will include Main
Street. Third Street and Route
IS as it goes through town.
Other streets will receive the
flushing on once a week
schedule.
The flusher can also be used
TO flush the storm and sanitary
drains and can be used as an
auxiliary for fire fighting.
The council also opened bid
for a truck body to carry the
flusher. Taylor Forbes Equip
ment Company submitted the
low bid of S2.3Ol .98.
Two Streets
Major improvements to two
streets were approved to be in
Guided in the l960-61 budget.
This will include work on North
Street and East Second Street.
North Street will be widened
on both sides with the sidewalks
cut down on both sides. QuiSen-
berry noted that automotive
traffic was heavy on this street.
but pedestrian traffic was light.
Fewer parking places will be
allowed on North Street, but
there will be some parking on
the west side. 1t was at first
considered to make the street
a "dog-leg," but council decided
to keep the street straight. The
estimated cost on North Street
will be $500, which will include
blacktopping in another year.
The top end Of Second Street
from Vaughan Street to Cedar
Street will be improved in the
coming years budget. The cost
of this project will be So 500, also

DR.. Stauffer, a private con
sultant on tax matter and gov
eminent finance. included the
plea in his address before the
Chamber of Commerce dinner
| session.
The war period is the most
tragic and signally important
| phase OF American history" he
declared, adding that there is
great benefit in close scrutiny
of earlier Americans who evi
denced a willingness to stand by
their convictions, to give their
lives and to lose their property
Suggest Attitude
A leader in the Richmond
Civil War Round Table and
Round Tables Editor of the
Civil War Times Dr.. Stauf-
fer said those taking leadership
in organizing participation in the
five-year centennial have a
heavy responsibility.
The observance is not to be
a resurrection of animus IN
bitterness, nor a morbid resent
ment over results. The proper
attitude must be one of pride
and satisfaction that we have
become the great nation we
are Dr.. Stauffer said.
Under the leadership of Com
monwealth' Virginia Civil War
Commission, Virginia will par
ticipate in the observance of the
fratricidal fighting 100 years
ago during the centennial years,
1961-65.
Dr.. Stauffer urged Chamber
members to get behind the OBJ
servance also because Of the
close association of this region
with the dying days of tn e
courageous Army of Northern
Virginia led by General Lee.
Participation for you also
seems suitable because you, too,
are defending a moder convic-
ton in Prince Edward county, "
the former state welfare di-
rector said.
Presents Paper
A native of Pennsylvania and
holder of three degrees from
the University of Virginia. Dr..
Stauffer concluded his address
with paper written upon his
own researches and battle-ground
visits on the last April days of
1865 the month in which the
surrender occurred at Apo
nAattoX.
