Washington lewisburg, W. Va. MONROE MOTOR SALES Union, West Virginia Hassle Brews On Paint St. Controversy; Meeting Set City Council will. meet on Paint and Witherspoon streets at 10 a.m.

Tuesday to consider the opening of Paint and the paving of Witherspoon. This was decided at the Tuesday night meeting after a paving contract was awarded to James C. Meador, who changed his completion date from March, 1966 to 90 days after awarding of contract. Bids were past session read during the from James C. Meador for from Toner, $25,441 and Oscar Vecellio, $33,176.

Awarding of the contract hinged strongly on a time factor. The residents want the street finished this year. City Attorney E. M. (Ned) Payne stressed the necessity of obtaining an easement from Witherspoon Street resident Howard Lambert for the purpose of filling a portion of the street.

Payne read to council a petition from residents of Wittier- spoon Street calling for its paving under a contract from Toner, which calls for completion within 90 days. The residents, according to the petition, did not think the unreasonable additional costs in Toner's bid. This petition was presented without the citizens of the street being aware of Meador's change of completion date. Council will meet with Payne and City Engineer Dennis M. Leary at the street location Thursday to view the filling problem and discuss the time Payne reported on the feasi- ley Drive.

The matter was referred to Payne during a past session of Council when a citizen complained by letter that the street was being blocked by Howard Hall of Hall Furniture Co. Council agreed also to meet on Paint Street with Hall Thursday to discuss settlement of the problem. Hall, represented by attorney Paul J. Fourney of 133 Witherspoon maintained that a barricade had been erected to prevent cars from traveling over the red-dogged road and throwing rocks onto his property. Explaining legal barriers to council's actions, Payne said the city first must.

determine that the passage is a public street as specified in the city charter. According to Payne, a street can become a public street to be maintained by the city under three basic conditions: (1) Continuous and adverse usage over a period of at least 10 years; (2) owner's dedication and consent, and (3) maintenance of a street by the city. Kecommendations made by Payne were that council issue an order requiring the removal of the barricade; establish limits to the street right of way; accept the responsibility for its upkeep, and the safety of adjoining property owners. bility of opening which runs from Paint North Street, Kanawha Street over the hill to Val- Payne was who challenged contended by the street was not a public street and never had been. Protesting Payne's recognition of Paint Street as city property because the city had maintained it, he said that would be determined by records, which Payne had failed to produce.

"Even if the city has a right to have a street there," Fourney said, "the city should not have it because it is unsafe." He urged council to be cautious in deciding the 'street's fate and asked if it would be "willing to fight a liability suit tonight." Council agreed to pave an area adjacent to the recreation room over the city garage in New River Park. This was done on a request from James Kessinger of the Beckley Recreation Board, who said the area would provide parking for persons attending functions there. A request by Fire Chief Cecil P. Connor that the city pay for his trip to Miami Beach, for a firemen's convention was referred to the finance committee, which is expected to reach a decision today. Connor, who said he has been serving the city for 20 years, during which time he has given up vacations at least six times, said he considered his request within reason.

He has been invited to the convention, Sunday through Thursday, as a member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, he said. Invoices were ordered paid. Beckley police collected $5,559.60 during September, according to a monthly report submitted by Police Chief William Teubert. They recovered two stolen automobiles, and one of two stolen bicycles. A total of 7,226 parking tickets were written.

The city received payment for 6,373. Officers wrote 36 tickets for traffic violations. A total of 30 accidents injured six drivers and five passengers. Property daimlage amounted to $13,545. His wife, Jean, is the daugh- ter of Mr.
