1 TUESDAY JANUARY 26, 1971 -< WHEREAS, said sewer and water line extensions must cross the right-of-way of the Carolina & Northwestern Railway Company, in the vicinity of Jones Creek, for which permission of said Carolina & Northwestern Railway Company is necessary and will be granted, subject to certain contractual agreements; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, in regular meeting assembled this twenty-sixth day of January, 1971, that it doth hereby approve--and doth hereby authorize its Mayor, the Honorable F. T. Renick, M.D., to execute on behalf of the City of Martinsville--said contractual agreements with the Carolina & Northwestern Railway Company, whereby the City is permitted to extend an eight-inch sewer line across the Railway Company's right-of-way at a point 276 feet west of Mile Post 276, and whereby the City is permitted to extend a ten-inch water line across the Railway Company's right-of-way at a point 266 feet west of Mile Most 45. Upon being informed that a large number of government class students from Martinsville High School is expected at Council's forthcoming February 9th meeting, Council agreed to conduct said meeting in the City's Corporation Courtroom, which can accommodate more visitors than can the Council Chamber. Council tentatively agreed to meeting in an informal session on February 15th on the occasion of presenting special awards to various City employees. Mr. Worth H. Carter, Jr., Vice President & Comptroller of Piedmont Trust Bank, appeared before Council and raised the following questions relating to the extending and expansion of facilities (water and sewer) beyond the City's corporate limits, as hereinbefore referred to in these minutes: (a) Would the extending of the City's subdivision regulations three miles beyond the City's corporate limits serve to qualify the City for Federal-State aid; (b) Would there be some over-lapping and/or conflict inasmuch as the Henry County Public Service Authority has publicly stated that it intends to provide water and sewer service throughout Henry County;
