FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1967 NUMBER 36 Compression water tank is shown being unloaded at site of old water tank, destroyed by fire, on Tuesday. The 50,000 gallon tank, which is around 90 feet long, was brought to War renton from Gastonla by tractor and dolly. Due to its length and in order to avoid heavy traffic the tank was brought to Warrenton by way of Centervllle and offered some difficulty in making the turn at Bragg and Front Street. The tank will be installed by Hal Connell, local construc tion engineer, and will probably be in operation next week.

S. Depart ment of Commerce, United States of America for a grant and/or loan under the terms of Public Law 89-136. While the town Is expected to have to Issue bonds to erect the proposed tank, commis sioners are hoping that part of the cost of the project will be borne by a grant from | the Department of Commerce. The resolution, introduced by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Wood, reads as follows: "Whereas, under the terms of Public Law 89-136, the United States of America has authorized the making of grants and/or loans to public bodies and private or public non-profit organizations or associations to aid in financing the construction of specific public projects; "Now, Therefore, Be it Re solved by the Board of Town Commissioners of the Town of Warrenton, North Carolina; "I. That W. A, Miles, Mayor be and he is hereby autho rized to exocute and file an application on behalf of the Town of Warrenton with the Economic Development Administration, U. S. Depart ment of Commerce, for a grant and/or loan to aid In financing the construction of the re placement of the Town's only water storage tank destroyed August 15, 1967. "2. That J. E. Rooker, Jr., Town Manager, be and he is hereby authorized and direct ed to furnish such informa tion as the Economic Develop ment Administration, U. S.

This may be done by subtracting the actual pounds sold from the previous balance.
