NEWS -xV jr Of Tlie TKI CiTV I Utility And Recordation Tax Measures Propose an By The Progress-Index City Staff The smell of honeysuckles was intoxicating as we passed over Lieutenant Run the other night. Never has the scent been more delicate. Its insinuating sweetness filled our lungs with shudders of pure joy. If we may be allowed to say so, the girls of St. Joseph's High School look very good in their summer uniforms.

End of comment. Under the heading of puzzling items is the news release we received today which stated that the Colonial Heights School Board is going to give a band concert. Of course, we know this isn't so, but that's the news release said. No doubt, what is meant is that the board is going to SPONSOR one. Our diligence will see to it that the news item is accurately printed.

Friend of ours is amused by his landlady's conduct. When she sees him come into the house, she bows majestically and intones servilely, "Your royal highness!" condescends to smile just slightly as he passes in the front door and on to his room. The Sage of Sycamore St. saith: "This is the time of year when you should relax your mind and pass on into the cradle of summer with a serene spirit." Something we'd like to see just for the heck of it: Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley starring in the same movie. We suggest Tahiti as tbe locale, with guitar-strumming natives in cloth sheets dancing around as the blue Pacific rumbles its tale of impending adventure in the background.

It's a natural. --ROBERT C. SMITH Inter-Office Memo TO: Mary Cherry Allen FROM: The Undersigned SUB.T: Rare coins 1.

The first proposes an increase the utility tax rate from 10 to 15 per cent of the consumer's monthly bill, and the other a recordation tax on documents filed in the clerk's office of Hustings Court. The 50 per cent increase in the consumer tax on water, electric, gas and telephone bills would yield the city $75,000 this year and $150,000 over a 12-month period. The increase could not become effective before July l. The hike in the consumer utility tax would be the second in recent years.

It was raised from eight to 10 per cent two years ago. Would Yield $10,000 It is estimated that the recordation tax would yield the city $10,000. The measures had previously been informally agreed upon bj council to help meet the deficit due to failure of the Genera Assembly to adopt a state sales tax and that body's imposition a cigarette tax which cancellec the council's plan to impose a local cigarette tax. After a public hearing on the proposed sale of a 25-acre trac of Lee Park, Mayor Walter Edens told the approximately 35 persons present that the matte would be taken under advisemcn and be given ''careful considera First to speak at the hearing was Paul D. Welch, who said he represented residents in the 100 and 1100 blocks of Northampton Road, an extension of which woul furnish access to the area pro posed to be developed for resi dential purposes.

Welch expressei opposition and said his group di not feel that "the time is prop: tious because of the contention atmosphere." He requested tha the matter be tabled to a late date. Site Pointed Out Bernard J. Seward, who said was speaking in behalf of group, including his daughle and son-in-law, seeking home site within the city limits, pointed 01 this particular site, bounded Johnson Road, power lines, Ovet brook 1 fills subdivision and a vine which separates it fron Day Field "is not being used fo any purpose and could be. developed into one of the finest residential sections of the city." He said it would provide 34 home sites would become a part of the permanent tax structure and provide recurrent revenue. Robert Skelton Gilliam said he was opposed to the sale of any part of Lee Memorial Park.

He referred to the great leader to whom it. is a memorial and said he would use "all the influence Zoning Group CH.

Jordan By JIMMY EZZELL All property north of Old Town Creek by Colonial Heights in 1948 has never been zoned and the City Council last night referred lhe property to the city planning and zoning commission for recommendation as to- proper zoning, especially in the Ashby Ave. area. This action was taken on the recommendation of the council's street committee which has been studying a request objecting to an alleyway and the taking down of trees behind Quality Dairy Farms. Inc. The committee also recommended that the cily attorney "properly draft an ordinance restricting motor vehicle truck traffic on Ashby Ave." Another problem which faced council last night was that of go- carts, and this problem was re- into the Ashby Ave.

Quality Dairy controversey discovered that the property was not zoned. Was Zoned For Business It was brought out that when the land was brought into the city. Chesterfield County had it for business. It was assumed that the land had been zoned when it came into the city. Mrs.

Sam Barker, a resident of Ashby told council don't have anything against the dairy. As a matter of fact we get our milk from there. But we just don't want trucks running up and down our street." Mrs. Thomas another resident, pointed out to council that the dairy now has an entrance and exit on Boulevard and she didn't see wlr. it needed one on Ashby Ave.

Mayor Fred R. Shepherd recommended that the matter Iv referred to the street commitU'. solved when it was sent to the i el meet with a i 2:30 p. m. with Robert Doutt of the Hopeweli VFW serving as master of ceremonies.

Detective Sergeant A. V. Bowen said someone pried open the center drawer of a desk in the National Guard office, and made off with approximately $63.

There was no sign of a forced entry into the office, and a check for $2 was left behind. The church break-ins were reported at St. Mark's Methodist, Washington Street Methodist and Walnut Hill Baptist. Detective Sergeant C. H.

Slate said the pastors' offices were ransacked, but nothing of value was reported missing. Doyle's Shoe Store on Wes Washington St. was broken into Police said entrance was gainec by breaking out a rear window about 9:15 p. m. yesterday.

The shoe store has been, broken into about four times in the pas' month. The refreshment stand at the McKenzie Street Ball Park alsc was broken into. A a i chewing gum, potato chips anc other items was reported missing Sgt. the three churcl break-ins were probably all done by the same person. Police said the auto Jones was collided with another own- by Francis J.

Vassett, 42, 'f Fort Lee. The Vassett auto had ust been parked at the curb vhen the accident occurred, and police quoted Vassett as saying was alighting from the auto at he time. Both Jones and Vas'sett were charged with failure to keep a )roper lookout. Patrolman E. L.

3awson assisted in the investigation. I have to keep it from being used for anything but a park." Dr. Clyde W. Vick son-in- law of Seward, said, "This section of Lee Park is entirely isolated, is unuseable as a recreational field and an ideal spot for running through from Northamp ton Road and Woodland Road. He pointed out that building sites "are very scare" in Petersburg and asked the Council to act on; the recommendation of the City Planning Commission which is that the tract be sold.

Would Discuss It Later Welch rose again, and again referred to the "contentious atmosphere" and said he was not proposing "it (the sale) be eliminated entirely, but it is not a matter we can discuss openly at this time." He said he'd like to discuss it later. P. T. Barfield of the 1500 block Halifax said, "This is a public hearing. If Mr.

Welch appears later, I'm going to ask the same, privilege and will appear over and over." After asking if anyone else had anything to say, the council ended the hearing with the Mayor's announcement that the matter would be taken under advisement.
