"There were no questions asked
BY anyone. only testimonials for
public schools were given"
Aside from guarded comments
that the effort to keep the pub
lie schools open was goin g
smoothly and that public schools
will be as strong this year as
last, not much emanated from
the meeting.
The PoWhatan School Board
and the county board of super

the meeting. At least one mem

was no dissension.

New Fire Alarm
System Slated
In Next Budget

Problems in connection with
the rev sewage lagoons for
Farmville were discussed as one
of the major points Of business
by the town council Tuesday
night.
One unexpected problem dealt
with securing the necessary
land on which to construct the
two lagoons, which will cover
seven and one-half acres each.
Town manager T. W. Bloom
field said following the meeting,
which went into executive ses-
sion to discuss the purchase Of
land, that a written offer was
being mailed this week to c. w.
Bailey, owner of the land
The lagoons Will be built on
the northeastern edge of town,
in The area generally referred to
as "Yourg's Flats" The town
already owns 1913 acres there,
but will need an additional "A %
acres to provide for the pro
posed two lagoons and one adj
ditional lagoon when needed
Bloomfield said negotiations
with Bailey to purchase the land
have been unsuccessful. so it 3p-
pears that the town will be fore
ed to condemn the needed acre
age for the lagoonS. Council in
structed the town attorney, Viii
liam P. Hay. Jr., to make a
written offer for the land in the
sum of S. 800 which is the high
est Of appraisals made on the
property.
Council has instructed the
town attorney TO proceed with
I condemnation suit on the lard
involved. Bailey. a FarmVille
dairyman, is using the land as
pasture for his herd
Electric Poles
Another problem that arose III
connection with the new sewage
lagOons deals with electric poles
that will be in the middle of the
lagoon unless they are moved.
Virginia Electric and P o W c 7
Company wishes the town to pay
the expense of moving the poles.
An estimate submitted to cOlll-
Gil Tuesday for moving expense
totalcd almost $1,000 Council
felt the cost was too high, and
1 questioned that the town was "e-
sponsible for this. The matter
was referred to the town attor-
ney for further study This ques-
ton was before council at the
last meeting ard a conference
with VEPCO officials cut the
number of structures to be NOV
ed, which reduced the estimated
cost from about S. 1000 to So 900.
Radio Alarms
A delegation from the Farm
vile Fire Department appeared
before council to ask for funds
to purchase a new type of
alarm system that would use in
dlvidual radio units, in addition
to the general siren.
The firemen have raised about
$1,000 toward this project. and
are asking the board of super
visors and the town council to
contribute 81 500 each toward
purchasing the alarm system.

wing as chairman Of the COM
mittee of Trustees for the re-
ward fund which has been Great
ed to help law enforcement
agencies identify, arrest and OBJ
tain conviction of the person or
persons responsible for the
bombing atrocities which have
afflicted the total Birmingham
community since April second of
this year. 10
AS you know, l have become
the most recent victim of this
type of vindictive assault. I do
not define the fire-bombing of
my home as more dangerous or
cowardly than any of the other
bombing Incidents because of
the fact that it was my home
which was involved, or because
it was the lives of my wife and
me which were threatened"
"The use of fire that can
silently kill or inflict horrible
and manning injury calls, in my
opinion, for some special at
tention. If it can be successfully
used against one man or one
home IN this special kind of
trouble, then it can be used
against any home and any per-
son to vindicate any kind of
spite. 1t is a terrible example" /"
II am, therefore, pledging to
the reward fund the amount of
$5,000.00. When this amount is
needed. | am prepared to i'm
mediately present certified
check for the full amount"
81 request that this amount
be made directly applicable for
