10 YEARS AGO

December 17, 1981

In a recorded vote at the town

council meeting of December 9, council members agreed to authorize the mayor and treasurer to borrow $6,000 from the Rappahannock National Bank in Washington. This authorization was necessary to pay the bills which the town incurred for the construction of the new town well, well-house, pumps and pipe to connect to the existing water system. “We are an unusual municipality in a way,” Mayor Newbill Miller told the council.

There is a possibility that former Delegate D. French Slaughter Jr., of Culpeper may be interested in the U.S. Senate seat to be vacated by Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. Slaughter represented Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison in the Virginia House of Delegates for twenty years, first as a Democrat, then Independent. He is now a Republican. According to his office in Culpeper he is interested, but has made no decisions nor plans at this time.
