IF THE discussion about growth pressures on Rappahannock hadn’t been conducted so politely, it might have been called a “shouting match.” Voices were definitely raised. But, while some faces may have flushed and things got a little noisy, the debate at the June meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors was kept under control.
It all started with Chairman Newbill Miller ■ noting that effective September 1, Rappahannock and all counties will be required by state law to set up a local building inspecr tion office to enforce a statewide, uniform building code.
Miller thought it a good time to also consider hiring an assistant for the county’s zoning administrator, who presently opens the office one day a week. A plan to open the office an additional day collapsed last year when Zoning Administrator E.A. McNear and the Board disagreed over what ought to be paid for the additional day.
Commented Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis: “If we don’t have at least two days work out of that office, we’re in trouble.”
