50 Years Ago
From the Herald and Democrat in 1966
The City Council met in regular session in council chambers of the City Administration building with Mayor Henry presiding.
The following was one of the items on the agenda.
Councilman Bynum, chairman of the Street and Alley committee, presented a proposal by the Chamber of Commerce for one-way "traffic circle" from Mt. Olive east on Central to Maxwell, south on Maxwell to Alpine and west on Alpine to Mt. Olive. After discussion, a motion was made by Jamison that Central Street from Mt. Olive east to Maxwell street, Maxwell Street south to Alpine street and Alpine west to Mt. Olive street be designated as one-way streets. The motion died for lack of a second.
