City Burglary Victim Seeks Police Help In Bluefield
Paul G. Martin, audiologist at Bluefield Eye Clinic, asked the Bluefield Board of Directors for more police protection after his clinic suffered three burglaries in nine months and he received little follow up. Police Chief Bivens said manpower is the issue. the mayor proposed a burglar alarm linked to the police department. The board voted to reactivate the Beautification Commission and considered chip and gravel paving as a cheaper street-stabilization option for three alleys at a total cost of 5,765.50. They also ordered enforcement of sidewalk parking bans, awarded Mitchell Stadium concessions, adjusted a demolition bid with penalties, and approved a Reese Street lot sale with a lien. Planning Commission allowed subdivision of a Gilmer-Lewis lot. Two revenue-sharing resolutions for street work were approved and quarterly payments to Gateway Regional Transit Authority authorized.
