<br /> Chairman Lentz reported that Sergeant W. O. Funderud of the North
<br />Carolina Highway Patrol had contacted him regarding the reduction of the
<br />speed limit on Stallings Road as requested by Mr. J. Ray Flowers on
<br />September 8, 1987. He stated that Sergeant Funderud had informed him that he
<br />had compiled a ten-year history of Stallings Road and that it was one of the
<br />safest roads in the County. Chairman Lentz further reported that Sergeant
<br />Funderud had indicated that the extra emphasis by the Highway Patrol on
<br />patrolling Stallings Road should improve the situation and the lowering of
<br />the speed limit to 35 miles per hour would not be necessary.

<br />rescind the action of September 8, 1987, regarding the extension of the
