SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) - Officials in Salisbury are praising Livingstone College for working to reduce the number of fire code violations at the school.

The Salisbury Post reported (https://bit.ly/1tignqg) that City Manager Doug Paris said a recent meeting with college President Jimmy Jenkins had been productive.
