              Fireman have fine time at exercise of their officers

              Firemen who were recently elected officers of the Covington Fire Department gave a banquet to all other members of the department last night at 6:30 in the Granbery Memorial Church Annex.

              Covington City Council agrees on site for motel

              Following an hour’s discussion City Council adopted a special agreement between landowner J. T. Fudge, the Jackson River Land and Development Corporation and the city of Covington which would protect residents from the rezoning of the tract of land owned by Fudge from R-2 to C-1 and which would protect residents of the area from any future objectionable use of the land.

              The final agreement was drawn up by R.B. Stephenson, Jr., for Fudge and Eugene Huffman, president of the recently formed corporation which hopes to build a motel and possibly an adjoining restaurant on the land in question.

              Highlands Facing Taxing Challenges

              Needed capital projects in the highlands will likely necessitate tax increases and make the area less competitive in the economic development arena.

              Maintaining low taxes is identified as the fourth major challenge facing the Highlands in a report issued by the Alleghany Foundation on April 2.
