Just what condition are we, of this community, in- to reap our full share of this coming influx of foreign gold?

I Great Municipal Improvements Mar* North Carolina Town* Install' 8 fog Water Works and Sewer Sys tems Tkan Ever Before. ' New water work* and sewer ays ' tenia are b looming in North 1 W? " litua today. little towns and vill ' ages are installing water and ' sewers now, whereas, a few years ' ago, only the large towns had such ' things. Now our larger towns are ' erecting magnificent, permanent 1 plants yielding only' the purest ' kind of water and that in abund ance. 1 The conservative old town of fidenton is waking up. At a re cent meeting of her tit.v council an ordinance was passed to enforce 1 the use of sanitary privies. The ordauce demanded that the privies be made according to the specify cations recommeded by ti^e State Board of Health and that they be installed before fly time, /k wise ordinance for this little !own, but if she would have them in before fly-time, she should be up and do ing. Dirbam proposes to run no risk in regard to her city water supply. She has been using filtered water frtMa the Euo Kiver but owing to the fact that this river receives' drainage from Hillaboro, her?p1an ia to change her source to Flat River. Flat River is remarkable free from sources of pollution. It affords a watershed that will be ainple for the needs of Durham for 100 years to come. The new plan calls for a raw wafer reservoirmf 40 million gal Ions' capacity to bo looated at the present site of a smaHec. artificial lake at the Country Club. This will serve us an emergence supply, a settling resefvoir, and will add materially to the beauty of the Country Club. ^ Durham --has- voted B660,?00 -bonds to effect these improve, ments. Mr. Gilbert C. White is the engineer in charge. Moiwhead City is rapidly push ing forward the work of installing one of the most complete sewer systems in the State. According to the engineers in charge, the system is already 40% complete by July lat. Such a sewer sys tem witb the abolition of the pre sent privies will make Morehead one of the healthiest little towns in the State. Washington is another North Carolina town that proposes to -b&ve^t pure water?supply. She has bought the old privately own ed plant which furnished the cit.v water from deep wells near the center of town and which brought the owners one or more law suits Tin account of its polluted water. Perhaps the most modern filtra tion plant in the State has been in stalled about a mile out of town. The city supply now comes from Tranter's Creek instead , of from walls in the heart of town in close proximity to human habitations, privies, sewers, stables and -other sources of pollution. Washington is also installing a rather complete sewer system. This in turn will abolish a great number of old open privies. ? South port has recently issued $40,000 bonds for the installation of water works and a sewer sys tem. For ber water supply she proposes to sink a suitable number of deep wells as there is no surface water available. These proposed plans have just been submitted to the State Board of Health, It is probable that these plans or similar plans with slight alteration* will be approved by the Board. There are knowu to b? about twelve or fifteen towns in the State that are actively considering the installation of water works, sewer systems and sewage disposal plants, t>r improvements in exist ing water and sewer installation.
