( t TUESDAY NOVEMBER 13. 1962 - The Council of said City will each year during the life of this loan, at the time they fix the regular levies, fix a rate of levy for schools or mRke a cash appropriation sufficient for operation expenses and to pay this loan in annual installments and the interest thereon, as required by law regulating loans from the Literary Fund. Council received from City Manager Hirst a status repor;t on the roadway being graded by Lester Lumber Company, Inc., between Liberty Street and a point outside the City's ,- corporate limits on Route 220 North, in which report it was noted that Lester Lumber Company--owner of the land--is grading and will donate the 100-foot-wide roadway to the City, as to that portion within the corporate limits, if the City will pave this new road. One of the conditions, on which Council acknowledged prior agreement, was the installation by the City of drainage culverts, cost of which (approximately $12,648.00 for materials) is to be borne by Lester Lumber Company if the road is not accepted by the City. City Manager Hirst pointed out, however, that because of change of plans as to the point of intersection with Liberty Street, additional drainage culvert--at a cost of $10,337.00 for materials--is desirable; whereupon, Council agreed to the installation of this additional drainage facility on the same above basis and on the assumption that the portion of the roadway lying outside the corporate limits will be completed and that Henry County and/or the Virginia Depart- ."'.-.. ment of Highways will assume the cost of paving this portion as well as provide access into Route 220 North. Inasmuch as no indication has been forthcoming either by the County of Henry or by the Department of Highways as to the portion outside the corporate limits, Council strongly urged that a conference with Highway Depart- ment representatives and other interested parties be scheduled at an early date to resolve this question. -- In accordance with appointment requirements of the City Charter, City Manager Hirst announced the appointment of Mr. Glenn D. Fuqua as Superintendent of the City's Welfare Department, effective December 1, 1962, relieving Mrs. Ann H. Jones who has indicated a preference for other duties within the department.
