The application was recently ' with PWA otlicials, but was "t. .. lively" turned down on the gic . that there not enough families :i Haywood county to warrant nppro.d of the project. It was also stated in the rejection, that the cost per man hour was too much. Local re cords revealed that some 600 families are on relief in the county, however. The prokct has been estimated would cu-t' SJJ 1,(100. Of this, under the PWA set up, 100,000 would be piovuled for by the government or l.V , , Those w ho have been interested in the project believe that the towns would never lie able lo get the work through for $121,000. It has been .intimated, that "sooner or later the sewer line would have to he built." Numerous f:i clings and Conferences with the local boards of aldermen have been held with state health ollicials on'. the matter in the past several years. Mr.. Atkins reported that at Tues day's meeting, the fact was brought out that less than a half million pro jects hail been .approved, although some' twenty million had been re-' quested by the state to' date. . It was al.-Vi pointed out that the allotment for this state for PWA and WPA work should amount to .fifty million dollars, .
