Two Choices For
Cooieemee Made
Clear In Letter
The following letter was sent
to all property owners in Cooi
eemee by the Davie County
Board of Commissioners and
signed by County Commission
er, Charles Alexander. Stating
the desire of Burlington In
dustries to get out of the water
and sewer distribution system
in Cooieemee and the two
choices that could be made
available to Cooieemee. It is as
follows:
Burlington Industries has no
tified us of their desire to get out
of the water and sewer dis
tribution system in Cooleemee.
They feel that since this respon
sibility is not related to their
type of work, it will be of the
best interest of all concerned for
it to be handled through other
means.
We have a choice of two (2)
types of water and sewage dis-
Veterans
Number 1940
In Davie
There are 1940 veterans in
Davie County and 531,000 in
North Carolina, according to
Veterans Administration fig
ures released today. These fig
ures are based on America's
27.3 million former servicemen
as of the beginning of 1970,
according to W. R. Phillips,
Director of the Winston-Salem
VA Regional Office.
According to the latest avail
able figures, some 230 Davie
County and 71,000 North Caro
lina veterans were in service
during the Vietnam era that
is after August 4,1964.
World War II veterans make
up the largest group of veterans
with 1080 from Davie County
and 283,000 from North Caro
lina.
Some 200 Davie County and
62.000 state veterans saw mili
tary service only between the
Korean Conflict and the Viet
nam Era (February 1, 1955-
August 4,1964), Phillips said.
Of 26,000 World War I veter
ans in North Carolina, 80 are
from Davie County.
Phillips pointed out that there
are some duplications in these
figures since some veterans
served in more than one con
flict.
An estimated 66 of America's
5,000 Spanish-American War
veterans live in North Carolina.
Veterans with questions on
benefits are urged to contact
theiß. North Carolina VA Re
gional Office at Winston-Salem
or to see their local service
officer.
Those who served since Feb
ruary 1, 1955, may be eligible
for GI Bill training. Those who
served since June 27, 1950, may
be eligible for home loans.

tribution systems that could be
made available to Cooieemee.
Number One The dis
tribution system could be sold to
a private company. In fact, the
Heater Wells Company has al
ready expressed interest to Bur
lington Industries about our fa
cilities. Of course, any private
company would assume respon
sibility for the system, but too, it
would be operated to make a
profit and this would be reflect
ed in the water rates and ser
vice charges.
Number Two By creating a
sanitary district for the provi
sion of water supply and dis
tribution of water and sewage
services. In order to create a
sanitary district, it would be
necessary for fifty-one (51 per
cent) of the property owners to
petition the County Commis
sioners for this service. This
would be followed by the State
Board of Health conducting a
public hearing on the proposed
districts creation. After approv
al a Sanitation Board would
then be appointed by the County
Commissioners. This board (3-
members) would be responsible
for operating the system. Since
it would be a non-profit organi
zation, the cost to the consumer
would be less than services
supplied by a private concern.
The purpose of this letter is to
inform the property owners of
Cooleemee on what proposals
have been made with regards to
the water distribution system. It
is our desire that everyone have
an opportunity to weigh the
advantages and disadvantages
and then decide which system
would be best for our commu
nity.
In the near future you will be
given an opportunity to express
your wishes on which system
would be best.
County manager John Barber
said this week that should the
decision be to create a
sanatation district, a study
would be made to determine the
maintenance (repair and
replacement) and ad
ministrative costs.
This figure added to the cost
of the water purchased from
Burlington Industries would
enable the Sanatation Board to
adopt a water rate for funding
the operation.
Barber further stated that
within the next few days a
meeting will be scheduled in
order to explain and answer any
questions concerning the two
(2) systems of water and
sewage distribution.
