Gastonia Council Grants Utilities Access and Bans Street Venders
The Gastonia city council, minus one member, voted to ban wonder shows on Main Avenue and adjacent blocks to curb crowding near the Square. They allowed Vance Howard to install a one inch water line to his new Gastonia Dallas highway terminal, and extended a six inch water main for future taps. G R Lewis and J P Lewis stay on payroll in utilities. Mrs Charles Barkley funds Wood Hill Park utilities with reimbursement on development, and city employees plus families get free access to recreation facilities. Akers Motor Lines may tap water and sewer lines at the city edge for a shopping center project on Wilkinson Boulevard.
