PAGE TWO S. P. U. TAKES OVER UTILITY PLANTS Rutherfordton and Spindale Will Apply Purchase Mon ey on Bonded Indebt edness. ■ The Southern Public _ Utilities Company of Charlotte, took active charge of the water and light plants of Spindale and Rutherfordton on November Ist. The citizens of these two towns voted on September 9th to sell their plants to the Duke in terests for $500,000. Rutherfordton is to receive $295,000 and Spindale $205,000. Each town will apply the funds on their bonded indebtedness. The Southern Public Utilities Co., agreed to take up the bonds as they come due, until the amounts are tak?n up. j The total bonded indebtedness of each town on Oct. 1, 1930 was: Rutherfordton, $722,000, while ■ Spindale was $328,000. Rutherfordton's tax rate in 1929 ; was $1.65 while Spindale's was * $1.30. The tax rate will not be in- ( creased this year and will probably 1 be lowered. Had the sale of the 1 municipal plants not carried, the tax - 1 rate in each town would have been increased, to take care of debts and * improvements. ' The new owners plan many im- 1 provements in the future. The far- mers of Rutherford county will 1 I « eventually benefit from this sale as 1 rural lines will be extended into , 1 many sections of the county. f ( Another great advantage in the ( change of the ownership of these j 1 plants is the advertising Rutherford ; county will receive through national J publications by the Duke interests.; They use their great influence j wherever they have lines to bring in • new industries. Marion received' three new mills last year, believed > to have been a result of the adver-! tising of the Southern Public Utili- \ ties Co., which operates there. f The new owners will pay into the 1 treasury of Rutherford county and' into each town, large sums in the J form of taxes. They will also use! all local help possible, thus em- j At Horns HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO SAVE ON One lot of Ladies' Coats going at % off.

According to a survey made by Textile World, probably the out standing textile paper in America, a total of 41 new textile plants of Various kinds, including hosiery mills, were established in the twc Carolinas during 1920, 34 of these being in North Carolina and seven in South Carolina. It is interesting to note that of the 41 new textile plants mentioned] 30 were located in the cities and ' towns that are served by the South- ] ern Public Utilities Company and the North Carolina Public Service • Company, while 11 were located in all other cities and towns and sec tions of the two states combined. Of the 34 new plants established in j North Carolina 26 were in the cities, and town served by these two com- j panies, while eight wei'e located in; all of the other cities and towns of | the state. In South Carolina fourj of the seven new plants built, dur-j ing 1929 are to be found in the cit- r ies and town served by the S. P. U.- ( N. C. P. S. system. j The Textile World survey shows; that North Carolina led all other Southern states in the building of new plants during the past year. I In fact, North Carolina's total of 3 4 j was exactly the same number as the j total for all of the other states com-; bined, with the exception of South I Carolina. j Next to North Carolina came Georgia, with a total of 13. South j Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee had seven each. Virginia had four new plants, Mississippi two, an 1 Texas one. The total for the two Carolinas was 41, as compared with a total of 34 for all of the other Southern states. SEE H. L.
