SYSTEM INSTALLED BY H. E.
NORWOOD
Within four months after ?.ne
passing of a resolution by t-'f
Retail Merchants Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce declar
<?
in; the need of a White Way
syitem, Brevard is tbe possessor
of four block* of ornamental
White Way lighting of the
most modern type.
Tuesday night tests w ro made on
the t-w?|.ve t.cO candle power lights
which" ?.?.ere .vompletely installed, and
th.-.-e were found to work perfectly. I
The work on the "'remaining ? lights
will be completed at or. -e and the
entire system will be pU;:-ed in use ,
this week, A time switch :vt tho
corner of; Main and CaHwell street ,
automatically outs the. jsji'stem on at |
an early hour in the evening and
then will cut it off at midnight.
Owing -to the low water at thi
power plant the system was' cut ri;
rt 4"? .o'clock Tuesday night.
The White Way representing an |
expenditure of aproxima 'ly $5;0G0, I
extends, on Main, street t'om Eng
land to (iaston and or. Broad from ;
Main ?o Jordan. The equipment in
stalled includes thirty W.' tinghouse j
?jr,j:> ?f the m?>st niod >n type, j
They are placet! along the curb line \
oT.e hundred feet apart.. :jnd directly
acr< ?s the street from each other.
The wiring and conduits are under- i
?rround an?l the standards set in con- ;
cret'e.. ' : y '? j
Tuesday night when the White
Way was christened Brevard was at j
its best. Two finished products of j
progress of the year greeted the !
hundreds of tourists on Main street. '
The Band rendering a concert in the
stand and the handsome lighting ?ys- ?;
tem presented a beautiful scene.
I Brevard's white way system came ,
as a direct result of a resolution !
adopted March 30 by the Retail
Merchants Bureau of the Chamber
of Commerce. The merchants, after
discussing the proposal f?r, the in
stallation of the system, adopted a
resolution requesting the board of
aldermen to make the installation, i
The hoard voted April 1<> to mane ^
the installation and signed a con- ;
tract with the We.stinghouse Electric!
and Manufacturing company for the ,
equipment necessary. Bids for the ,
installation of the equipment were
then called for artd ? the contract
awarded to Harold Norwood, elec
trical contractor. Upon the arrival
of material the worK was begun and
has been completed by Mr. Norwood
in a comparatively short time.
It is expected that cement paving
on the <jdewalks along Main and
Broad street will" follow close on the
heels of the -White way. as petitions,
asking that this be done were pre
sented to the board of aldermen
some time ago.

CO-OPERATION WITH CHAMBER
IS URGED
Brevard has an opportunity re
become, one of the leading resort
towns of Western \orth Carolina
within the next year or two. accord
ing to W; G. Shepherd, prominent
attorney of Fort Myers. Fla., and
former president of Fort Myers
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Shepherd, speaking Tuesday,
evening before the Board of Direc-,
tors of the Thamber of Commerce
urged the citizens of Brevard to get
behind the Chamber of Commerce
and give it their earnest and loya! .
support. In the course of hi? re-,
marks ^lr. Shepherd declared that j
Brevard has made wonderful strides !
within the past few months, and
that her destiny is uncommonly
bright for the future.
Mr. Shepherd commended the or-(
gani7.ation and its officers and di-i
rectors for the splendid progress
whi-h ha- been made during the past
six months as evidenced by the semi
annual report made public last
Tuesday night. Mr. Shepherd urged
that every effort be made to con
struct a golf course at the earliest j
possible date, declaring that thi*7 was
one of the most essential features of
any resort town.
A spirit of friendly cooperation
among the. citizens of the town, and
especially cooperation by the mem
bers with the program undertaken
by the Chamber of Commerce is ab
solutely necessary if Brevard is go
ing to grow and prosper, declared
Mr. Shepherd. Mr. Shepherd Com
nlimented the organization most
