The hearing, held at the City-County city officials and City Council members. Community Development Hearings Citizen Turnout 'Disappointing' By ESTHER SHARP ITEM Staff Writer In his closing remarks at the final public hearing Thursday night on the use of $2.8 million in federal community development funds Sumter is scheduled to receive, City Councilman Frank Bostick said he was disappointed that, according to his figures, fewer than 100 citizens (excluding city officials and employes) have attended the four hearings, from this city with a population of approximately 25,000. About 50 citizens, of which nearly 20 were city of. ficials or employes, were present at the hearing Thursday night which was held in the City-County Office Building auditorium on Harvin Street. Bostick said one citizen had remarked, "I don't want to go to the meetings.
It (the use of money) has already been decided." He assured the group that Council has not yet decided about the use of the money, pending receiving all information on citizen opinion. Bostick brought to the attention of the group the cost of paving, which has been one of the most frequent requests, estimating the cost at approximately $40,000 to $45,000 per mile, or close to $100,000 per mile, if curbs and gutters are included in the price. Opening the meeting, Morris Mazursky, mayor pro tem, told the group, "City Council is here to listen to you." City Manager Powell Black supervised the meeting and presentation of a slide show, which outlined the objectives, requirements and eligible activities of the community development program. Activities for which the funds may be used, as shown in the presentation included, sewer and water projects, the preservation of historic buildings, street repairs, recreation facilities and the construction of fire and law enforcement facilities in blighted areas of town. Black, in response to several citizens' questions, explained some of the ineligible activities for the funds, including, hospitals, schools, city operating expenses and use for non-profit organizations unless they are part of a neighborhood area in which a community development project is undertaken.
JACK GLOVER, president of The Chamber of Commerce Merchant's Association and manager of Edward's, a Main Street department store, spoke in favor of funds being used for downtown parking areas. He asked the citizens to envision a wagon wheel and compared the downtown area to its hub, saying, "Without a good strong downtown Sumter you have nothing." He said he would venture to guess that the biggest part of the revenues that support Sumter are from the he said could be instrumental in the downtown merchants and suggested that some of the house, which Community Development funds be used for parking rehabilitation of alcoholics. in greater detail Buxton's idea of a areas.

Market Declines NEW YORK (AP) The stock market declined slightly today in an atmosphere of continued uncertainty over the prospective effects of the government's efforts to combat the recession. The 11:30 a.m. Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks was down 3.60 at 652.14. Losers just slightly outnumbered gainers in quiet trading on the New York Stock Exchange. It appeared a good many investors were taking a cautious position until they could get some indication of how Congress would act on proposals designed to stimulate the economy.
The Democrats, who hold a strong majority in Congress, have advanced their own economic measures apart from the measures called for by President Ford early this week. The market seemed also to be running into resistance from some of its own internal forces after an unusually broad advance since the start of the year.
