City Planners OK Annexation Of 2 Mile Strip
Kingsport Planning Commission approved a two mile annexation along the new four lane Bristol Highway for recommendation to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The plan adds 23 Woodmont Ave homes after a petition signed by 48 of the 23 households, while some protested as not in the area. Several property owners questioned where the tax and service benefits would fall as surveyors marked properties, with some owners away and told later what was said. Notable respondents include G. P. Hickman Jack St John Goldie Stapleton and HL Taylor among border residents planning to join or resist annexation. Clyde Groseclose and Claude Bailey backed opposition despite owning land inside and outside the city since 1917.
