Two Named To Zoning Board In Low ton
Teeth were promised in Low ton's Planning and Zoning Board last night when two new members were named to the board. Don Yarbro and Clyde Lawson were added to the present five man board to make seven to assure a quota at all meetings. The board now consists of Clay ton Melby L C Green Dr R E Smith W T Reed Hubert Maddox and the other appointees last night. City Attorney H Carrell declared the adoption of an ordinance organizing a planning and zoning commission carried the three mile radius authority with it. He said powers delegated by the state to communities could neither be expanded nor curtailed. City Commissioners discussed paving plans but winter delays halted work and the water emergency pushed paving aside for the year. City Manager Wes Allen asked permission to purchase an electric welder and bids were to be sought. Mayor Roy Lee Jones Police Chief James Robinson and others plan traffic light improvements along Main Street and Artesia Highway. The meeting adjourned after payables and Little League Baseball discussion.
