t {'~ .-'" :'.. TUESDAY JUNE 12, 1973 This donation to the City of Martinsville is made subject only to the following conditions: (1) That it be accepted by the City of Martinsville, that the City actually use the donated land for the desired widening of Church Street, that the City replace existing curbs and sidewalks as required by the new construction, and that these things be done within a reasonably short period of time after the first meeting of City Council to consider this letter. <,....-.. (2) That City Council enact a "special and separate ordinance" as provided under Appendix B, Section VI (G) of the Martinsville City Code to establish a new set back line of three feet for the bank's property on Church Street so as to be consistent with the presently existing set- back line. We believe that such an ordinance will meet no objection and will prevent Piedmont's being penalized by reason of its contribution. I would appreciate your presenting this proposal to City Council for its consideration at its next regularly scheduled meeting. I will be happy to be available to you or members of Council to review this proposal at your convenience. Council accepted, with regret, the resignation of Mr. Conrad M. Knight from membership on the Transportation-and-Land Use Committee of the West Piedmont Planning District Commission and, replacing Mr. Knight Council unanimously appointed Mr. George B. Adams. Upon being informed that Mrs. M. O. Johnson is willing to continue serving as a member of the Martinsville-Henry County Regional Library Board, Council unanimously reappointed Mrs. Johnson to this post for a four-year term beginning July 1, 1973. Council continued to its next meeting the appointing or reappointing two members to the City School Board for three-year terms beginning July 1, 1973 (the terms of Messrs. Worth H. Carter and William W. Edwards, Jr., to end on June 30, 1973).
