<br />Let me thank each of the members of the Orange County Democratic
<br />Executive Committee for their concerns. We, as commissioners, will do

<br />Norman Long, Zoning Officer, reported that the County Planning Board
<br />had received a request from Mrs. William Barbour to re-eone 2.19 acres in
<br />Eno Township on the Murphy School Road be re-zoned from a residential area
<br />to a mobile home park area. The County Planning Board recommends approval
<br />of said rezoning request.
<br />Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Bennett,
<br />it was moved and unanimously adopted, that the reouest of Mrs. William
<br />Barbour to rezone 2.19 acres in Eno Township from a residential area to a
<br />mobile home park area be adopted.
<br />Chairman Smith presented the following letter from Lucius M. Cheshire,
<br />County Attorney:
<br />"Re: South Orange Fire District
<br />At the last regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners there
<br />was presented by Mr. James R. Farlow a petition to abolish the
<br />above fire district pursuant to General Statutes 69-25.10. Although
<br />this statute is somewhat awkwardly worded, it is my opinion that an
<br />election to abolish said district could not be conducted under the
<br />terms of this statute until at least two years have elapsed since
<br />the formation of said district and that therefore the Commissioners
<br />should deny the petition."
<br />WHEREAS, South Orange Fire District was created as provided by Chapter
<br />69, Article 3a, of the General Statutes of North Carolina; and whereas, a
<br />petition has been filed under the provisions of General Statutes 69-25.10
<br />requesting the Board of Commissioners to call an election to abolish said
<br />fire district, and whereas, the said statute in the opinion of the County
<br />Attorney requires the lapse of at least two years after the formation of a
<br />fire district before an election can be held to abolish the same:
<br />Now, therefore, upon motion duly made by Commissioner Bennett, seconded
<br />by Commissioner Ward, it is hereby resolved that the petition herein filed be
<br />denied.
<br />Ayes: Commissioners Carl M. Smith, Harvey D. Bennett, William C. Ray,
<br />Henry S. Walker and Ira A. Ward.
<br />Noes: None
<br />Commissioner Ray introduced the following resolution which was read:
