building. Destroyed were

ery, and several thousand
feet of lumber.
Fireman from the Areola
Company responded prompt
ly to the alarm but the
flames had made too much

kiln and several hundred
thousand feet of timber on
the yard. Several of the
firemen remained on duty

rural firemen who did a fine
job.

not tell just what the loss to
the company would be, but
that he was certain that it
would be at leaat $73,000 and
possibly would reach $100,

partially covered by insur

Welfare Payments To Be
Upped With Federal Funds
Warren County recipients

to the Disabled, and Aid to
Dependent Children will all
soon receive a small increase
in assistance checks, Julian
Farrar, Welfare Director,
said this week.

ed. All this money is com
ing from Federal source*, he
said, as a result of the 1962
amendments to the Social Se
curity Act. Grant increases
average from two dollars to
five dollars depending on
the number of persons being
helped in the assistance
grant.
An item of household
equipment has been addM to
the budgeting procedure al
ready in use in determning

item for which grants are

Norlina Board Files Intent To
Ask *165,000 Bond Issue .
A $165,00 bond issue is ex
pected to_ be called in_ Nor
Ilria around the first of the
year for the purpose of pro
viding funds for the installa
tion of a sewer system.
Official notice of the call
ing for the election was giv
en Friday with the publica
tion of a notice of intent to
call the election. This first
step was approved by the
town commissioners at a
meeting last week.
Mayor Graham Grisaom
?aid on Wednesday that the
commissioners were not cer
tain as to the time when the
election would be called but
that it is hoped that it would
be held around the first of
the year.
Funds provided under the
bond issue would be added |
to a federal grant for the
building of a sewage treat
ment plant and for the lay
ing of sewage lines. An en
gineer was employed around
a year ago to make a prelim
inary survey of the cost and
plans for the project.
Grlssom said that before
the election i& called,?the cit
izens of Norlina would be
given full information as to
the total costs, the govern
ment grant, the length of the
bond issue, and the tax rate
needed to retire the bonds.
Norlina now has a tax rate
of $1.35, with 45c being used
for the retirement of some
$550,000 in outstanding bonds
of the town, voted several
years ago for the installation
of a water system.
Grigsom said that the sep
tic tank system is not satis
factory for a town such as
Norlina and that the system
in some cases was unsatis
factory and offered a health
hazard. He said that while
he feejs that a modern sew
age system Is necessary for
the continued growth of Nor
lina and vital for the attrac
tion of new industries, the
principal reason for asking
for the bond issue is for the
benefit of those making their
homes in Norlina.
