SEWERAGE A SURE THING FOR PEMBROKE-HOUSING ALSO
TODAY THE CITY OF PEMBROKE IS GOING THROUGH IT'S GREATEST ERA OF PROGRESS
City Os Pembroke Will Get
Many Streets Resurfaced
Mayor Miller has just received official notification
of many of our streets being resurfaced, with what is
known as the Cold Mixture, the same that is being used
on U. S. 80, and which is believed to be better than
any other paving material today.
Yes, the Mayor saw to it that our “dust eating’’
friends were taken care of. They were not in the
original schedule, but after telephone calls to the State
Highway Department this street was added to our al
ready large list of streets to be resurfaced. The Mayor
tried to practice the old saying “if you get slapped on one
cheek, turn the other one”, and that is just what we did
in this case. However it was because of others that we
asked this street be included.
Today Wednesday, Mayor Frank O. Miller has plane
reservations for Atlanta where he is going to seek and
ask for more improvements for our little city, and which
we believe we will be successful in getting for our little
city. We have learnd a long time ago, that if you do
not go after the things you want and need, and just
remain at home, that the good things will go to those
that are on the job seeking, asking and if necessary beg
ging for the things he feels his little city needs and is
entitled to.
That is just what Pembroke’s 76 year old Mayor will
be doing when you read this piece, and unless we are
badly fooled we will return with some of our wishes
granted by the powers that be in Atlanta.
The granting of access to the property of the citizens
of Pembroke to install the sewerage is coming along
nicely, and we feel that the advertising for bids to build
this sewerage plant, lines, large water mains and an
other large water tank is just ahead of us.
We look forward to more housing, which is so badly
needed here. We have every reason to believe that we
will get a grant for at least 50 more low rent housing
units soon.
Th new’ school buildings which money has been set
aside to build, and has been held up to determine if we
would get sewerage, will soon get the green light and
be a reality, and not a “dream”.
\ es, Pembroke s Mayor, F. O. Miller who has served
as the Mayor of Pembroke longer than any other one
ever has, is seeing his dreams come true. When we get
the things we have long felt the City was entitled to we
will keep on fighting as long as we have the power to
do so, and we can tell those that are familiar with the
progress that has been made under the present Mayor
and his Councilmen, City Clerk and other well known
citizens is long coming true.
Yes we started out by putting the police officers in
uniform, today we have 2 modern Police Cars, we got
fire trucks etc, until today we have a modern fire de
partment to replace the little hand pulled 2 wheel ap
paratus that the firemen had to pull to the fire, we built
a modern P ire Station with a community room on the
second floor that is used at least 6 times each week. We
saw the time when not one half of the white people had
watei, and no negroes at all, and we voted to issue Revenue
Cei tificates, and had 12 citizens to get out an injunction
to try and keep us from giving all the people water and
fire protection, the Judge Hon. Mel Price ignored the
injunction and we put in the water mains and today
there is no one in the City Limits and many outside en
joy the pure water of the Pembroke Water Department.
In addition they have saved thousands of dollars on their
Insurance Premiums.
Yes, we are making great progress in making of Pem
broke the outstanding little City of the Coastal Empire.
It has been a long hard fight, and one that the Mayor
had to have a great deal of help with, and to all those
through the past years who have believed in our pro
grams and helped us put them over we say THANKS A
MILLION. Today the Mayor has one of the finest Coun
cils and the best Clerk and Treasurer that any Mayor
ever had, and although the job is demand on an “old
man”, still we are out fighting for our little City, which
we believe the finest place in the world in which to live,
do business and raise a family.
