2~ TUESDAY MARCH 23, 1971 - Upon recommendation of City Manager Noland and Public Works Director Brown, Council authorized the connecting--upon payment of required fees by the respective owners and/or occupants--of three residential properties located outside the City on Old Dye Plant Road to the City's water system as it now exists or may be enlarged, these three properties now being without adequate water service, similar to the situation being met on Barrows Mill Road, outside the City's corporate limits. Council acknowledged receipt of, and gave approval of, the salary and expense requests of the local constitutional officers for the forthcoming 1971-72 year, which requests must soon be presented to the State Compensation Board. City Manager Noland reported that Attorney John J. Hartley expects to appear before Council at its forthcoming April l3th meeting to request an increase in the rate schedule applicable to local taxi-cabs. ,- Mr. Carl H. Bach, Chairman of the Citizens Smoke Abatement Committee, appeared before Council and cited the increasing efforts on the part of both State and Federal Governments toward curbing all phases of air pollution through regulatory agencies, this making no longer practicable the existence of the local "volunteer" committee. Accordingly, Mr. Bach submitted his resignation as Chairman and Member of the Committee, which Council accepted but not without gratitude to Mr. Bach and his Committee for--and appreciation of--their out- standing service to the community, during their tenure over the years having secured many improvements from local businesses and industries on a voluntary basis. In so doing, Council dissolved the Committee for the reason precipitating Mr. Bach's resignation.
