Beckley council seeks legal review on annexation plan
Beckley City Council on Tuesday night instructed city attorney W A Thornhill to study the legal framework for petitions seeking annexation and consolidation. He was asked to report at his earliest convenience. The action follows September petitions from the Junior Chamber of Commerce requesting consolidation with Beckley and Mabscott and annexation of four outer areas. Thornhill noted he has not thoroughly studied the law but said outside-area additions after petitions are filed may require swift council action. Clarence L Bibb moved to have the review, which passed unanimously. The Moriscoll consolidation petition has 2,403 signatures. the annexation petitions each exceed 2,000 signatures for four areas: Harper Road to the Turnpike, Pinecrest, Sprague Calloway Heights, Maxwell Hill, Raleigh Heights, Raleigh and Daniels. Also reported, H D Tucker of Mabscott was admitted to Beckley Hospital after a home fall at about 6:30 p.m. His condition is satisfactory.
