THE TENNESSON, Tu.doy, Nov. 27, 1979 3A Bypass Goes Back To Drawing Board rrr mum mm By TERR YE NEWKIRK TeaMf State Correipoadent FRANKLIN It's back to the drawing board for the Franklin bypass, now that Department of Transportation officials have heard opinions from more than 50 citizens at last week's corridor public hearing. r'We'll be here just as long as it takes for anyone to say anything that they want to," DOT spokesman Henry Buckner told the crowd of about 400, and people were still making comments well after 10 p.m. MOST OF THE opposition expressed was leveled at specific routes rather than at the bypass proposal itself, although one woman pointed out the plan did not take into consideration the gasoline shortage or the sagging economy. Vehement opposition to the portion of the proposed bypass that extends west of Hillsboro Road was voiced by attorney Lionel Barrett.

UNLESS THE northern section of the road is redesigned, Barrett said, he promised a lawsuit that could delay construction "for years." Virtually every public official who addressed the meeting favored the plan, however. "The County Commission voted to support the Franklin bypass by a roll-call vote of 18-4," County Judge Wilburn Kelley reported. "IT'S GOING to hurt us now, but now," said state Sen. Johnny Crow. Franklin Mayor Jeff Bethurum said he hoped people who will be adversely affected by the construction "can swallow the detriment and allow the other 95 of the people in the county to benefit." City Planning Commission Chairman Jim Petersen said that body had unanimously passed a resolution to support building the bypass.

In fact, he said, the commission had been "keeping in mind the various alternative routes, and trying to keep open as many corridors as we can." A COURT stenographer and a tape recorder transcribed the remarks of citizens and officials present, and Buckner invited the public to make additional comments by writing to him at 901 Commerce Place, Nashville 37219. "Subsequent information developed as a result of this hearing will be made available at my office, the crowd was told. ONCE THE suggestions have been considered and assimilated into the DOT's plans, a final route will be proposed. Interested citizens will have another chance to express opposition or support for the project at the design public hearing once the route plan is complete. Construction could begin on the bypass as early as fall 1982.

"THE HANGAR WILL be used by Middle Tennessee State University in its aerospace education department," said Alexander. "They will train aircraft mechanics and avionics technicians." Local matching funds for the project will come from rental of airport facilities. Approval of the state funds was recommended by the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission. The improvement plan is part of the Murfreesboro Airport Committee's long-range commitment to general maintenance repairs and modernization of the six-year-old facility.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE project, estimated to cost $260,000, is scheduled to begin next spring. Joe Jackson, chairman of the Airport Committee, said the improvements and expansion are necessary not only because of the MTSU program, but also because of a new charter service coming to the airport. Additional hangar and office space will be required to accommodate the new service. MURFREESBORO Gov. Lamar Alexander and Transportation Commissioner William San-som have announced approval of $130,000 in state funds for improvements to Murfreesboro Municipal Airport.

Sansom said the funds would provide for construction of a hangar and paving of a parking ramp adjacent to the building. Brentwood Water Co. Directors Back Sale if 3 Conditions Met (Continued from page 1A) Entertainer Eddy Arnold, who is a member of the water company's board of directors, said he thought most of the stockholders would be in favor of selling the company to the city.

At that point, Arnold speculated, the city probably would choose condemnation as an alternative. Basically a water distribution system, the company sells water it has bought from a wholesaler, according to Glenn Warner, operating manager and president. It has no treatment facility. Instead its equipment consists primarily of storage tanks, water mains and a pumping system, Warner said. Heritage Foundation Selling Special 'Main Street' f-Shirts FRANKLIN In honor of the Main Street renovation (and in time for Christmas) the Heritage Foundation is selling Main Street T-shirts in sizes for adults and children.

The tan shirts, with a logo of the Draper and Darwin building and the words "Main Street" printed below, were designed by John Robertson, art director for the foundation's publication, the Sentinel. Since the shirts don't say which Main Street they immortalize, the Sentinel points out they would make suitable gifts for friends almost anywhere.
