Town Council voted to table its decision in regard to a petition to vacate an alley until its June 25 council meeting The petition to vacate the alley that runs East and West between River and Glenn Streets in Addition was filed by Dave Smith According to testimony Smith operates a trucking company from his property at the open end of the alley Democratic candidate for Jonesboro Council George Hiles owns property at the other end of the alley and argued that he would be denied access to the rear of his property if the alley were vacated Smith attorney Tom Grogg argued side of the case He stated the alley has never been used as an alley by the public In his case Grogg argued that the town has never graded gravelled or otherwise maintain the alley and that it is no longer a means of ingress or egress To vacate the alley Grogg stated would merely complete what was started in 1976 a time when a por tion of the alley was vacated Jim Beaman an attorney who argued side of the case stated that the alley is necessary for utility companies emergency vehicles and residents to have access to the backs of their properties Beeman argued that Hiles went by the platt when investing in the property 30 years ago and the platt indicated an alley behind the property The Hiles family heats their house with wood Beaman argued and they need access to the rear of their property to receive the wood and store it Beaman further noted that the 1976 vacation of a portion of the alley did not deny anybody access to their properties Beaman said that by law an alley cannot be vacated if in doing so access to a property became difficult or inconvenient Beaman argued that it would become impossible Of several concerned parties the town council notified on the issue only Indiana Bell

services 39 area residents The letter stated that Indiana Bell respectfully objects to the petition on the grounds that it would have to move the cable Hiles and Smith both addressed the council on their own behalf and as many as five Jonesboro residents addressed the council in favor of Hiles and against Smith's petition to vacate the alley The citizens cited such concerns as taxpayer rights the importance of access during times of crisis and the lax concern for main taining alleys However upon discovery that a water line crosses the alley from the rear of property the council decided unanimously to table its decision until the next meeting Church News Calvary Baptist Church athers will be recognized during services on Sunday June 16 at Calvary Baptist Church 201 A St Gas City
