Although construction on the
course has been completed, a
continuing program of watering,

busy until next spring, when the
course will be opened for play.
Whether this will be early or
late spring is not yet known.
W. B. Lewis, designor and
builder of the new golf course,
received final payment for his
services on October 12th, less
than six months after he was
awarded the contract. In view
of several periods of rather
unfavorable weather condi

of Directors was pleased at the
speed in which the course was
built.
The board voted at its Octo

nal plans for the swimming
pool. This means that the Swim

able to approve the final plans
and get them out for bids by
November 30th.
While the location of the
club house has been decided

Local Board Hopes To Meet
With TVA At An Early Date
In an effort to correct conflicting reports,
The Transylvania County Commissioners an
nounce today that they hope to have a meet
ing with TVA officials in the very near future.
Local board members were told by TVA
at the Congressional meeting in Washington
in mid-June that they would give further
study to alternate plans of the Little River
and Brevard dam sites.
TVA said at that time the study and in
vestigation would take several months and it
would probably be late fall before any deci
sions could be reached.
Donald Lee Moore, chairman, said this
week that the meeting with TVA would be set
up as soon as possible. He suspects it will be
in November.
He said he has every reason to believe
that TVA is making a thorough study of the
alternate plans that were presented by the lo
cal delegation at the Washington meeting.
He said the public would be informed im
mediately when they meet again with the TVA
officials.
