Ross, Attorney, appeared before the Board in regards to the following petition, signed by 73 petitioners, relating to Summerville - Mamers Road: "To the Board of County Commissioners of Harnett County -- We, the undersigned residents of Harnett County, respectfully request your commission to petition the North Carolina Department of Transportation to designate County Road 1291 as "Summerville - Mamers Road." This road extends from the City limits of Lillington to Thomas Farm Service about two miles from the Lee County Line and is a very well settled road and is entitled to a designationmore appropriate than a number. We are informed that some years ago the Board of County Commissioners designated this road as the Summerville- Mamers Road but it was never so marked. We further petition that you request North Carolina Department of Transportation to place an appropriate sign on present US 421 at the inter- section of 1291 in Lillington with a directional sign to the Summerville community; that at the intersection of 421 and 1304 an appropriate sign designating a directional sign be placed at intersection of 1258 with US 421. We believe that it is appropriate that these signs designating the Summerville community be erected for the reason that Summerville is the original county seat of Harnett County and is a community of approximately 50 dwelling units and 2 churches. We further request that you initiate appropriate action to have an historical marker placed in the Summerville community designating the original county -seal of Harnett County." Action: Commissioner Stewart moved that this petition be accepted, that a resolution from the Board be forwarded to the Department of Transportation, Division of Signs. Commissioner Cotton seconded and the issue carried.
