2 BlMefieU Daily Dec. 17, 1970 Annexation Opponents Still Planning Fight In Court Attorney Trying To Find Flaw By JIM TERRY A committee which opposed the successful annexation of a 2.697 square mile area on Cumberland Road into Bluefield city limits apparently still plans to take the matter into court, it was learned Wednesday. Marvin Vaught, chairman of the committee, told the Daily Telegraph Wednesday that an unidentified attorney the group has hired in Charleston "is try- Ing to find a loophole" in annexation procedures carried out by the Bluefield Committee on Annexation. He said the attorney, who "won't let us identify him," has asked $8,000 in costs from the committee in the event approval of annexation can be legally contested in court. "We have that money available," Vaught said.

"If he finds a way to fight it, we'll go to court. If not, I think we might as well give it up." An attorney in Princeton, Ben B. White had told the opponent's committee earlier that annexation could not be attacked. "He told us recently that there is nothing we can do at this point." Vaught said. "The man in Charleston may tell us the same thing but we should know something shortly." Annexation of the area was approved by the Mercer County Court on Oct.

1, and the committee allowed a 10-day limit granted by state law to slip by without filing an appeal against annexation. The Bluefield Board of Directors approved annexation petitions, and certified that they were correct, on Sept. 22. Vaught also said the attorney In Charleston was to have reported to the committee last week "but I haven't heard a thing as yet. I'm sure we'll know something definite in the next two or three days." The area has been a part of city limits since Oct.

1. Since that time the city has been Jbusy initiating city services to resident of the area, including fire and police protection, garbage collection and others. Water lines are being extended to the area by the West Virginia Water and the Bluefield Sanitary Board is expected to float a bond issue in excess of $750,000 to be used to lay sewage lines and for work on present sewage treatment plants for the area.

The Illinois Democrat added "there ii no place in a free society for snooping by the military in the peaceful political affairs of citizens." Mikva told the House that if the reported practice is widespread "we have reached a frightening state against civilian control over the military." Chairman George H. Mahon, of the House Appropriations Committee, said that if the account! are accurate he shares Mikva's sense of outrage and will make inquiries at the Pentagon to prevent recurrence of surveillance.

Ervin said the former agent would be called to testify before his subcommittee next February. The senator did not identify his informant but The Evening Star said he is John M. O'Brien. The newspaper reported O'Brien identified himself in an interview as a domestic spy for the Army and said of his activities "The Army wanted to determine their political views so that in certain situations we would know how they would react; whether they would condone violence or be for nonviolence."

By JIM TERRY Sources in Bluefield indicated Wednesday that plans to build a Holiday Inn on East Cumberland Road may be indefinitely stalled for lack of financing. An attorney who handles legal affairs of a group supporting the proposal would not comment on progress of the project.

Princeton attorney William Sanders, a member of a franchise group which wishes to construct the motel, Wednesday said he is "not authorized to give any statement as to the status of the project at this time." Sanders told the Telegraph in October that the franchise group was seeking a loan necessary to begin at the site, which contradicted an earlier announcement that such a loan had been approved. In October, he said stockholders of the Beaver Development Company (the franchise group) had made tentative plans to obtain mortgage money from Holiday Inn Investors, a real estate investment trust located in Framingham, adding that the trust had then announc ed an "indefinite" delay in getting its business underway. On Sept. 11 of this year, Sanders issued a statement thai the mortgage company had ap- proved a loan for approximately 1.5 million and that work on he motel would begin soon hereafter. The franchise group has un- uccessfully sought a loan commitment since March of last SERPENT FESTIVAL Paraders brandish live lizards and carry pots during the annual serpent festival in Shirala, India.

I DUE TO LACK OF FOOD IN YOUR DIET BRAN tups; ALTIMETER (Continued From Page One) charts describing the flight pat tern show the plane flying a 2.000 feet, 200 less than the fig ure Abbott apparently took from his altimeter. The DC9 crashed in rain and og when it clipped tree tops on high ridge just over one nile west of the airport. The anding was being attempted in eather conditions described as ain, fog and smoke. Earlier Wednesday an aerody- amics specialist said pilots try- ng to land DC9s in rainy wea- iier similar to the conditions urrounding the Marshall crash lad complained of altimeter iroblems.

Ralph Brumby, of the McDoniell Douglas manufacturer of the plane, said his com- 'any had conducted a series of ests in 1966 following three DC9 crashes in rainy weather. Two city officials, who asked not to be identified, told the Telegraph Wednesday that "hav- ng a Holiday Inn in Bluefield will be a big thing, if we ever get it." The officials indicated prospects of having the motel located in the Bluefield area appear dim, at least within near future. Construction on such a pro- provided mortgage financing is obtained fairly soon, apparently would not begin unti early next spring or possibly later. The Bluefield Board of Direc tors approved a recommenda tion by the City Planning Com mission that a nine-acre tract on which the motel is to be located be re-zoned to allow foi its construction during September of last year. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY I do not underttand footiih people who lives killing llmo till lime Iriem.

Churchill niiWlfO AS A sfivicc fvftir mr He said the tests dealt with complaints of pilots about 'jumping indications" or fluctuating needles on altimeter, the nstruments used for measuring a plane's altitude. Brumby said all three crashes lad occurred in rainy conditions. Although he said a series of 33 tests indicated only one altimeter "jump," Brumby suggested such an instrument failure could have been caused by "water ingested" into the static pr sure system that controls the altimeter. Such a failure could lead a pilot to believe he was flying at a higher or lower altitude than he actually was, Brumby said. It was rainy and foggy the night the chartered Southern Airways jetliner plunged into i muddy hillside just short of Hun tington's Tri-State Airport claiming the lives of 75 persons including 43 Marshall University football players and coaches.

YEARLY (Continued From Page One) lion of a city manager Ira agreed with Leist's recommendation. The court, composed of Bernard Wilkinson, Donald Anello and 0. D. "Bus" Compton, acknowledged the proposed commission could "charge rates that would bring in the necessary revenue to operate a landfill and amortize the bonds issued by the court." He suggested that the court issue revenue bonds for the financing of a landfill project. An advantage of the commission approach, he said, would be it would put towns and villages with small populations on an equal basis, with municipalities.

The commission, he said, could hire and fire personnel and could negotiate wages at a level applicable to the area. Leist, who advocates that the health council could be utilized to channel federal funds into the project and provide technical advise, also took issue with reports that the county lost 100 per cent operating funds for a landfill project. "I contend that we have not lost a dime since the federal government only contributes to lie deficit operating costs," he tated. Leist said that Robert Silvag- director of the health coun- il's solid waste disposal pro- ect, has "finally admitted to me that the government will participate in only deficits." Southern, who said earlier this week that Princeton may estab- ish a landfill project on its own, could not be reached for comment yesterday in regard to he estimated cost to Princeton )er year should it participate the county-sponsored project. Leist has the support of Blue- 'ield's board of directors in his 'eelings about the landfill project and presumably the health council's role in it, an executive meeting of the board Tuesday revealed.

How Princeton's city fathers feel about the matter has not been revealed. Regardless, it appears that the court, or at least a majority of the body, intends to keep the health council in the role it is in on the landfill despite an admittance by Wilkinson Tuesday that eventually a commission such as Leist and Southern proposed would have to be created here. Wilkinson said to follow through with Leist's recommendation would delay the project another three or four months. The health board here will close all open garbage dumps effective April 1.
