Funds from the issue, ifj approved, will be used to finance the town's share of J the cost of constructing a | sewer system and a disposal system for the town. The polls will open at 6:30 a. m. and close at 6:30 p. m., at the Mayor's office in the Town of Norlina. Holding the election will be A, B. Laughter, registrar; and Mrs. A S Wyckoff and Mrs. J B. Lewis, judges of'election. Mayor Graham Grissom said on Wednesday night that he was confident that the bond issue would pass A mass meeting of citizens was scheduled to be held last night at the Norlina High School Gym at 8 o'clock for a public explanation of the. lagooa -system which is under fire of Alex and Charles Katzenstein, property owners of Norlina. Arguments against the la goon system, with supporting figures, were presented rath er fully in a signed letter by Alex Katzenstein of Greensboro and Charles Kat zenstein of Chapel Hill, car ried in this newspaper last week, w'ih a rebuttal, also with supporting testimony, by Mayor Graham Grissom. Mayor Grissom said Wed nesday night that he, Town Commissioner Raby L Tray lor and Roger Norwood visit ed Farmville, Va., last Friday for a first-hand inspection of the lagoon system of that town He said that he would like for any citizens with doubts about the efficiency Of a lagoon in the treatment of sewage to visit the lagoon at Farmville, which is only 76 miles from Norlina. "We were amazed," Grissora said, "at the appearance of the lagoon, with the clarity of the water, the lack of solids, and the absence of odors. Grissom said the Norlina group visited the lagoon with Farmville City Manager Bloomfield He quoted Bloomfield as saying that the lagoon had been entirely sat isfactory, had given the town no trouble and had been op erated at a cost of $100 a year. The lagoon built in 1958 serves 1,000 customers and a hospital. Grissom said he did not know whether the hospital patients and person nel were included in the 1 000 figure or were in addi tiori to that figure. The Farmville lagoon em braces 4.2 acres, compared with the 4.25 acre lagoon proposed for Norlina. Farm ville is now planning to add ?-5 acres to the lagoon?to? serve the remainder of the city after a four-year test of the smaller lagoon, Grissom said. An extensive and long-term test of the Farmville lagoon system has been made by the Virginia State Water Control Board, and a tentative report of conclusions and progress on the operation of the la goon has been maoe by Charles E. Cooley, engineer for the board, from February through September, 1969. Grissom Wednesday re quested that three para graphs, bearing on the Nor lina situation, be quoted from the engineer's report They fellow: "Since the possibility of odors occurring is frequently thought of in connection with this type of treatment, it has been standard procedure to pay special attention to this aspect of the sewage lagoons. Daily observations from Feb ruary through September 1969 revealed no noticeable odors j at a distance of more than 20 feet away from the ponds, except for one day, when the weather was exceptionally hot and humid with negligible air movement, when odors were I noticeable about 290 feet (away. | 'Since mosquitoes could be is problem, a State Depart i ment of Health entomologist has made cxtenrive ^urvey? , to determine what species of j insect life exist at this i lation. The results show that jthis type of treatment facil : ity did not create a mosquito ? nroblem. "Also, on the basis of the Farmville results, the ment that ponds be one-half mile from limits and one-fourth aaOe from the and habitation km eliminated, in aettlng mis for Murder Case Scheduled For Term Of Court Opening Here Monday One murder case is sched uled to be tried in the Jan uary criminal term of War ren County Superior Court which will open here Mon day morning with Judge Wil liam Y.
