Mr. Larry Carter, spokesman for the residents, told the Board <br /> that since none of the residents owned the property that fronted on the unpaved <br /> , 2/10 mile of Latimer Street they felt they should not have to pay for its being <br /> paved under any of the NC DOT's paving programs (for example, Participatory <br /> ` Paving Program or Property Owner's Participation).
