Norlina Board Files Intent To Ask *165,000 Bond Issue . A $165,00 bond issue is ex pected to_ be called in_ Nor Ilria around the first of the year for the purpose of pro viding funds for the installa tion of a sewer system. Official notice of the call ing for the election was giv en Friday with the publica tion of a notice of intent to call the election. This first step was approved by the town commissioners at a meeting last week. Mayor Graham Grisaom ?aid on Wednesday that the commissioners were not cer tain as to the time when the election would be called but that it is hoped that it would be held around the first of the year. Funds provided under the bond issue would be added | to a federal grant for the building of a sewage treat ment plant and for the lay ing of sewage lines. An en gineer was employed around a year ago to make a prelim inary survey of the cost and plans for the project. Grlssom said that before the election i& called,?the cit izens of Norlina would be given full information as to the total costs, the govern ment grant, the length of the bond issue, and the tax rate needed to retire the bonds. Norlina now has a tax rate of $1.35, with 45c being used for the retirement of some $550,000 in outstanding bonds of the town, voted several years ago for the installation of a water system. Grigsom said that the sep tic tank system is not satis factory for a town such as Norlina and that the system in some cases was unsatis factory and offered a health hazard. He said that while he feejs that a modern sew age system Is necessary for the continued growth of Nor lina and vital for the attrac tion of new industries, the principal reason for asking for the bond issue is for the benefit of those making their homes in Norlina.
