A great building program has been under way tor some time and now u special election has been called for January oth to allow the citizens of that pro gressive town to vote on the proposi tion of issuing $70,000 in bonds to build an clcetric and power plant and to1 install a sewage system. .Thoso well acquainted with the situation claim that the election will be favor able to bOutis by an overwholniii.g majority. It is planned to build the dam 'at Kalakaleeske falls on the Cullasaja river about two miles below town. The plant at full capacity will pro duce approximately 000 horse power. Only one unit producing 300 h.p. trill be installed until more power is needed. It ">viil be remembered that only recently- Iliglilands voted bonds to install a water System. This system is now in operation with 90 pounds j.re ure in the btisiness section of town. . ill the new movement for lights ind a sewage system Highlands is riving up to its reputation as a pro ^rcjssivc community.
