Randolph County Sees Rising Road Toll and Local Plans
Randolph County reports 37 traffic deaths in 1972 with four days left in the year. The board of elections begins purging inactive voters from a 37,000-name list, while Ramseur seeks a $450,000 federal grant for a $1.8 million Sandy Creek dam to ease water shortages. An anonymous $10,000 gift funds the North Carolina Zoological Society’s state zoo project on Purgatory Mountain as a public campaign launches for $4 million. The county plans a 253-acre landfill and dog pound as Ed Smith becomes dog warden, and a county seat contest solicits circular design entries before Jan. 31. Tax listing starts Jan. 1 for 30 days.
