Whereupon the Chairman asked if there <br />were any people appearing in opposition to the issuance of this permit, and a dele- <br />gation from Spring Creek Colored Church appeared and stated that although the <br />Church was over a mile from the area they felt that the noise and the traffic would <br />be very detrimental to activities of the Church. The Chairman then called on <br />Sgt. Waddill of the State Police Force who stated he woul~ be glad to furnish <br />such officers as necessary to handle any traffic which might arise from this <br />establishment, because he felt it was one of the duties of the State Police <br />Department to handle all traffic on State roads.
