Morrow Denies More Apartments
At the council meeting held
last Tuesday night the matter
or rezoning land for more pro
posed apartments in the city of
Morrow was heard. A goodly
representation of the residents
ot the city were present to
object to apartments, as they
have done in the past. Mr. Cliff
England was present represent
ing the school board, and he
reiterated the stand taken pre
viously at the zoning hearing
that they would prefer that no
more apartments be con
structed in this area, due to the
present lack of school facilities.
Also Mr. Downs from the Jun
ior College board had been
present at the zoning hearing
and had stated that the college
did not desire to have any
more apartments so close to
the campus.
There being more protests
than accord about the matter,
and knowing the feeling of the
citizens of Morrow from a past
petition to deny apartments,
the petition to rezone was
denied in accordance with the
recommendation of the Zoning
Board.
The property in question is
located adjacent to the college
on Lee St., running through to
Trammell Road on the east,
and with the exception of a
two-hundred foot strip, which
divides the property in the
center, is bounded on the
south by Old Rex-Morrow
Road. The property, with the
excepted piece, is owned by
Milner Development Corpora
tion, who had petitioned to
rezone the part next to the
college for R-3 multiple dwell
ings, and the part next to Rex
Morrow Road for R-2, single
family housing with a mini
mum square footage of 1300
feet. Tire Zoning Board in
formed them that had they
asked for R-l, which requires a
minimum 1600 square foot
house and larger lot, the Board
would have given it much more
consideration to a favorable
conclusion. The Corp, has now
applied for this type of zoning
on the Rex-Morrow Road
property, and this hearing will
be held in May.
In other action, the council
has requested that the coal
yard located between two
cleaning establishments in the
city be cleaned up by the first
of May or action will be taken
against the owner. It has been
noted that many areas of the
city have been allowed to
accumulate trash, wrecked
autos, and the like, and these
create eyesores as well as
hazards. These must be cleaned
up as soon as possible. In con
junction with a “beautifica
tion” campaign, the litter along
the streets and roadways will
begin being cleared away with
the cooperation of the Ex
plorer Scout troop, who are
the Civil Defense team of the
city under the direction of Mr.
Harley Strong. 1 hese boyshave
already done a lot to help the
city, and this will be but
another of their many deeds of
service to the community.

Ihe proposed new charter
which Morrow had hoped to
have considered for passage
this year was not presented in
the past session of the General
Assembly, nor was a bill to
annex the two new schools
under construction on Maddox
Road, so these matters, or at
least the charter, will have to
wait until next year.

eyes from severe injury or
possible blindness.
The award itself, presented
by Bausch A Lomb of
Rochester, New York, is a
handsome certificate designed
for the wall of the recipient's
office, where it can prove the
worth of protection to
patients. Dr. Wasserman com
merited that the importance ot
the award was not in any dis
tinction for him. since most
practitioners have had similar
experiences, but in the public
attention it draws to Ilie long
neglected matter of protecting

“People who wear glasses
are lucky,” said Dr Wasser
man, "they have a ready means
of obtaining eye protection by
having it added to then cor
