Likewise will have sufficient funds left to transfer to the General 1 Fund of the Town to be used for those several objects that can not be provided for in the Town’s budget but by custom have become a sort of fixed expense to the Town government. ! believe a reduction in the present electric current rates would be an incentive to increase consumption of electricity and thereby materially aid the average-income family, many of whom are buying their homes, by placing within their income the use of modern labor saving appliances such as they have never been able to use in Edenton but are so widely used else where. I believe the practice of extending the Town’s electric lines outside the Town of Fdenton should, in the future, be curtailed, if not stopped. The people in the rural areas can now obtain electric current from the REA. and I question the fairness of taking collections paid by the citizens of Edenton for electric current and water and spending them for rural electric lines. I believe the Board of Public Works should operate the Electric and Water Department on a sound, impartial and eco nomical basis and favor full publicity in the press of its operat ing income and expenses at least once each year, reflecting in an understandable way all collections received and expenditures made, including amounts transferred to the general fund of the Town of Edenton. On the basis of the foregoing statements, I solicit your vote and support in the coining election. Ralph E. Parrish CANDIDATE. FOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
