The Perry City Council is

Lane would run north and
Jackson south. The streets
are one block apart with sev
eral two-lane cross streets.
The plan was presented
after a study requested by
Councilman Willie King
because of the dangers and
difficulties of two way traffic

on Oldfield Lane, a historic
street which is basically one
lane wide.
City officials had consid
ered widening the street, but
this would require purchas
ing rights-of-way, reducing
land in front of homes, and
cutting down trees.
The one-way option will
cost city around SBOO for
new signage.
People living in the neigh
borhood will be notified of
the plan.
The council also discussed
plans for the development
of a nature trail which will

Park. The Perry Rotary Club,
which has spearheaded the
project from the start, has
agreed to provide matching
funds of $20,000 for a grant
application to develop the
trail. The city will make the
grant application for state
funds.
The council voted to add
two new positions to the
city’s fire department.
The issue has come up
because of overtime costs the
department was facing. City
Manager Lee Gilmour said
that hiring two more would
cost less than the overtime
they have been paying in
order to staff the equipment
adequately.

Voters say 'yes' to wx warning system
By DON MOfICRIEF
Journal Managing Editor
Since talk began of a
severe weather warning
system, a figure of 95 per
cent has been thrown out
there by various officials as
to how many exactly would
be in range of hearing it.
Perhaps the folks in
Haynesville felt they would
be the odd man out - the
“other” 5 percent who would
not.
Out of 23 voting precincts,
plus absentee ballots, they
were the only ones who had
more votes against it than
for. Haynesville residents
opposed to the system were
316. For were 283. Houston
County High School was
also close - 291 for, 284
against, as was Henderson
Fire Station - 207 for, 205
against. The rest varied
from somewhat close to not
close at all. The absentee
numbers were: 15,351 for,
12,032 against.
Overall on the referen
dum from the Nov. 4 ballot,
the numbers were 28,870 in

It continues a story that
began back in June when
the Vision 2020 Advisory
Board - the mayors of the
cities, county commissioner
and a representative from
the Houston County School
System - made a proposal to
that effect.
At first it was just for
a true “siren” system but
that was later tweaked to
read “se” so, said Houston
County Commission
Chairman Ned Sanders, the
county could weigh “all” its
options.
It was discussed. It was
debated - how to pay for
it was part of that. Until
finally during a follow-up
Vision 2020 meeting July
7 Sanders took the organi
zation in a different direc
tion.
He recommended the ref-

erendum. The majority of
the board members heartily
approved.
The next step, Sanders
has said in the past, is to
begin studying the vari
ous systems - options.
Construction, once one is
approved, is to start right
away, he has also said on
more than one occasion,
with the county using its
money and then getting
paid back when the mill
dollars begin coming in.
