Most W. N. C. Towns
Have Watershed Systems
y : ~ )? - ? j w
age. As a supplement to our
gravity system, we have dug two
deep wells, one 300 feet and the
other 250 feet. We secured a
supply of 40 gallons a minute
from the 300 loot well and 120
gallons a minute from the 250
foot well. These wells will be
fitted with pumps and used
only as our other supply gets
low. The gravity system is very
satisfactory and it is my under
standing that the wells arc
rather expensive to operate."
Favors Stream-Filtration
Lenoir's first water system,
Stanford Harris, superintendent
of that town's water depart- I
ment, writes "was the gravity
watershed type without treat
ment This proved to be un
satisfactory. In 1928 the filtra- !
tion plant was built to correct
this situation Consumption has
outgrown the yield from the
impounded supply, therefore for
the past six years a pumping
station on a Creek has been our
main supply. If there is a suf
ficient water course near your I
town which could be used, and j
with an elevation that would i
permit a gravity feed to a fil- j
tration plant, it is my opinion
that this system would be pref
erable, although initial cost
might be higher than some
others".
Looking Ahead
"We are already looking to
further developments? impound
ing and storage ? for the next
20-year period, and on", notes
W. C. Woods, clerk of Weaver
ville.
And Mayor R. Bruce Slaugh
ter of Robbinsville comments in
the same vein:
"We are now planning to con
struct another storage dam and
lay about 2,000 leet or moie of
6-inch pipe to supplement our
water system. We have one
storage dam of 90,000 gallons
capacity and late
capacity, one 140,000 gallons ca
pacity. and the reservoir In
town has a capacity of 70,000
gallons."
Replies Summarized
Replies from the 12 towns us
ing the gravity system show
that: ?
Eight of the 12 have water
supplies that are adequate;
three run short in extremely
dry weather; and one needs a
large supply.
N.ot all of the mayors answer
ed all of the questions. Only tlx!
of the 12. f()r example, stated
the quantities of water obtained.
For those that did answer this
question, the figure varied from
Weaverville's 5,000 gallons per
hour to Waynesville's 50,000, and
Bryson City's 83,000:
Costs Vary
Figures on the cost of the
systems varied from $30,000 at
Bryson City to $500,000 at
Waynesville, with the average
for those towns reporting on
this question being $154,000.
The operating costs range
from $420 per year at Sylva to
$17,983 at Waynesville. Of nine
operating on this, the average
operating cost is $4,367. Bre
vard listed its operating cost us
"maintenance only".
The figures indicate that,
both as cost of installation and
cost of operating, a uniform
system was not used; some
towns for example, apparently
included installation of mains
in figuring cost of their systems,
while other towns did not.)
Most Self-Liquidating
Nine towns with gravity sys
tems replied to the question as
. to whether their systems were
self-liquidating. Seven said yes;
one said no; Burnsville replied
"about half".
Of the gravity group, three
filter their water; four do not.
The other five did not say. All
have chlorinating systems.
Canton's watershed supplies
from 250,000, gallons daily in
very dry weather, to 500,000.
j and an additional supply is
I pumped from the river. The en
i tire system, including river fil
tering plant, cost about $450,000;
| the operating costs are $20,435
per year; and the system is self
liquidating. Canton's anticipated
water revenue for this year be
| ing $36,000.
Lenoir and Marion, which I
pump water from streams, spent 1
$110,000 and $350,000, respect
ively, on their systems. Lenoir, j
which obtains 63,000 gallons per
hour, puts the operating cost of I
its system at $10,000; Marion,]
with 31,000 gallons per hour, j
spends $9,000 annually on oper
ating cost. Both have adequate
supplies, and both systems are
i self-liquidating.
CURLEE I
CLOTHES
Behind The
CURLEE LABEL
DEHIND the label in your new Curlee Overcoat, there
lies a long tradition of making clothes to meet the
tastes of discriminating men. First of all, perhaps, we
would place the matter of style, for it is one of the im
peratives of this modern day that one maintain a well
groomed appearance, regardless of the occasion. And
smart, masculine styling created by skilled designers is
synonymous with the Curlee label. But style alone would
not place Curlee Overcoats in the position of leadership
which they hold today. Quality of tailoring which builds
comfort and good looks into every coat; quality of mate
rials?overcoat fabrics, lining and inner materials ? which
assure months of satisfactory wear; these also are a part
of the Curlee tradition.
Come in and see the new Curlee Overcoats which we've
recently placed on display. You will like the wide range
of styles and models? the pure wool fabrics which insure
real winter comfort without excess weight. Best of all,
you will find that every coat in the Curlee line is moder
ately priced.

Parking Meters
Worked O. K. But
Excuse Didn't
Johnson City, N. Y. ? An irate
| motorist stormed into the local
police station with what he
thought was a fine excuse for (
getting a parking ticket.
Glowing with outraged dig
nity, the motorist slammed
down the ticket on Patrolman
Frank Morrissey's desk.
"Your blasted parking meters
don't work!" he shouted. "I put
my nickel in and turned the
crank and it wouldn't register.
Now I get a ticket."
The patrolman smiled.
"You say you deposited a
nickel?"
"I certainly did."
"And then you turned the
crank "
"I cranked and cranked. I
cranked four or five times. I
! turned that crank every which
? way."
"That's funny," Morrisey mus
1 ed. "Our meters are all auto
, matic. There aren't any cranks
I on them."
"No cranks," said the motor
| 1st.
The motorist laid a $1 fine on
the desk and backed slowly out
| of the station.
