The property would be changed from a high density residential to highway business district.

An invoice from the N. C. League of Municipalities, in the amount of $2,654.59, for the organizational study of the Statesville Fire Department, was approved by the council for payment. When this was brought up, Mayor Francis R. Quis requested that Ralph Sisk, city clerk, read to the council the duties and obligations of the civil service commission.

It had come to the attention of the council during the last budget session that the civil service commission had not been consulted before the study was ordered by the council. It is the responsibility of the commission to rule on all policy changes in the police and fire departments. Contracts for the purchases of city cars and trucks were awarded by the council to the low bidders, who were Bill Hammond Ford, for three police cars, Bell and Howard Chevrolet, for one halfton pickup for the parks department, Boggs Motor for the fire chief's car, Bell and Howard Chevrolet, for cab and chassis for the water department; Bill Hammond Ford, for cab and chassis for the sanitary department, and James Truck and Tractor, for cab and chassis for the sanitary department, $4,086.26. Only one bid was received for repairs and painting to the hangars and administration building at the municipal airport. On the recommendation of the airport commission, council rejected the bid, on the grounds that it was much too high.

A contract for the installation of the water main on the Taylorsville Road was awarded at the last council budget session. It went to Bell Construction the low bidder. Herman Kappler was appointed by Mayor Quis to fill the unexpired term of Maury Gaston on the Statesville Housing Authority. Two taxicab franchises were transferred from Mrs. Rama Cowles Bruner, to Junius Campbell, upon recommendation of Captain Victor Serino, of the police department.

W. C. Bradshaw and John Holdsclaw, of the I Care organization, read reports on the manpower work and the Neighborhood Youth Corps to the council. They then pointed out that the Office of Economic Opportunity was being dismantled, and this was the source of funds for I Care. In order to continue the projects such as Neighborhood Youth Corps, funds must be found available to such organizations.

They were referred by Mayor Quis to the SCMD Foundation fund, which consists of approximately $60,000 not currently being used. E. B. Stafford was awarded payment of his contract fee for surveying the property where the new third Creek Treatment Plant is located, in the amount of $7,887.38, or 4.5 per cent of the estimated contract price. Chief James D.

Myers, of the police department asked the council for a formal resolution applying for Law Enforcement Assistance Act funds for the coming year. The funds will be for five projects totaling $88,195. The city match amount will be $4,410. This request was granted. Myers was also asked to report on the progress of construction at the dog pound.

He said that work was underway, but that no completion date could be given yet. The monthly invoice from Iredell Fuel and Ditching, in the amount of $1362.50, was approved for payment by the council. Councilmen Bristol and John Blackwelder and Rick Dagenhart, planning director, were asked for their report on the traffic situation at East Broad St. and I-77, but had not made any definite findings. They will report to the council at the next meeting.

Mayor Quis also asked council members to consider until the next meeting the idea of microfilming all the city records, in order to reduce the bulk of these files. Hardees OPENING DAY Business was "terrific," according to supervisor Archie Bunce, during Hardee's first day of business Monday in Taylorsville. The restaurant, which employs 22 people, is managed by Rex Emerson, who is assisted by Roger Porter. The business is owned by J. F.

Dean III. Ervin said that if the committee determines it is necessary Dean will be granted limited immunity from prosecution in order to obtain his testimony regarding high-level administration involvement in the Watergate scandal. The committee's immunity grant does not prevent Dean from being tried and convicted Continued From 3 Page One of Cape Lookout National Seashore land. Broken down, the budget calls for $1.7 billion in general fund spending, $492.4 million in highway fund, an estimated $572 million in federal funds and $221 million in other funds. Stewart, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said he and Scott recommended a $2.5 million in the art museum appropriations because "we felt that this money-a good part of it-wound be lying dormant for the next year." Stewart said the Cape Lookout project "has grown to be very controversial." The state has purchased considerable land there and deeded it to the federal government.

"Some feel that the price for land purchases may be nearer $10 million than $5.2 million," Stewart said. "There also is a feeling that we may be embarking on a dangerous course to require these additional, exceedingly expensive land purchases. We may have enough land now. We may well wait and take a fresh look at it next January" when the General Assembly convenes for annual sessions. The subcommittee also accepted a recommendation that $2.1 million be cut from the improvements for state park facilities.

Stewart said, "We already have $2.5 million for this in the budget and I don't see how the additional funds can be used during the next year." Stewart and Scott also recommended a reduction from $10.4 million to $5.9 million to provide for one longevity step increase in the school teacher index salary schedule. Proclamation Is Announced Mayor Francis R. Quis has proclaimed May as correct posture month in Statesville, coinciding with the statewide proclamation of Gov. James E. Holshouser, Jr.

The proclamation states that correct posture is a key element to physical and mental accomplishment, affecting appearance, comfort, productivity and emotional outlook of an individual. The local Chiropractic Association has joined in the proclamation in the belief that posture affects the health of the entire body. The observation is designed to encourage grace and stature in Americans, through regular examinations, awareness of the need for correct posture and attention of every individual to the benefits of good posture. The infant baboon depends on its mother exclusively for both companionship and protection. Charged time the longer it waited to increase rates, the more money was lost.

The complete reports furnished by Cohn were returned to the council members for study at their leisure. Clyde Bagwell, of the city light department, presented the council with his recommendations on a cut-off policy for past due accounts. The council had requested that the policy be reviewed, because there were obviously some accounts which were delinquent for no apparent reason. Bagwell recommended that the shut-off date be changed from 10 to 25 days from date the bill is rendered, or the due date. This would give the customer longer to raise the money to pay his bill, and if he does not, his electric, water or sewer services will be discontinued.

After water or electrical service has been discontinued for non-payment of bills, and is to be reinstated, full amount due plus five dollars must be received in order to have service reinstated. Reconnection fee was formerly $2. Bagwell also remarked that they had considerable difficulty with persons turning the services back on after the city has disconnected them for non-payment of account, and asked that the city be allowed to wait 24 hours to reconnect these after payment of accounts, and to charge a reconnection fee of $10. He also recommended that the deposits for residential property be changed as follows: water, from $5 to $10; lights, from $5 to $10; sewer, $10; homeowner for light and water, $10; rental property, lights and water, $25; rental property, electric heat, $25; and mobile home rental property, $25. The council approved Bagwell's recommendations with the exception of the deposits for rental property for lights, water and electric heat, which were reduced to $15.

Payment of past due accounts must be made between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in city hall, in order for services to be reconnected the same day. About one month ago, Troy Doby of Peirson, Whitman Consulting Engineers, presented the council with his reports on the proposed revision of water and sewer rates for the city. He appeared last night again, for the purpose of answering any questions and for hearing the council's decision.

However, no formal action was taken, because the rates proposed did not take into consideration the upcoming bond issue. Doby was requested to figure the bonds into the rates.

The move was made to amend the town's subdivision ordinance to require the certificate of approval from the county health department in an effort to provide protection for the purchasers of property in subdivisions where city sewer and water service is not available. Acting in accordance with a recommendation of the Mooresville Planning Board, the town board agreed to file an application with the State Department of Natural and Economic Resources for a 701 Planning Assistance Grant. The state grant would provide for the planning assistance in filing an application for funds under the Special Community Revenue Sharing Act.

This development could lead Dean to remain publicly silent on the affair until after any trial-which could mean months--for fear of possible self-incrimination. But a grant of immunity before the Senate panel- -while it would not guarantee that Dean won'tbe prosecuted on the basis of evidence offered by otherswould allow him to testify publicly in advance of a trial without being prosecuted for his own words. The Justice Department and Chief U.S. Dist. Judge John J.

Sirica must approve any grant of immunity for Senate testimony.
