SATURDAY EVENING POST
As founded by Franklin, the peri
odical now known as the Saturday
Evening Post, was entitled: "The
Pennsylvania Gazette." The name
was changed in 1821 to avoid con
fusion because at that time there
were six other papers in Philadel
phia using the word Gazette in
their titles.

(Continued from Pago One)
of drouth, there is insufficient
water for present needs.
What p reliability is there of in
dustrial demand for more water?
-The Tennessee Valley Associat
ed Cooperatives plan to locate
in Franklin a market and can
nery which, when operated at
full capacity, would use approx
imately one-third of our pres
ent water supply.
Does the town' now have ample
fire protection?
-No. No part of the town has
ample protection, and a large
part has no protection through
water.
Will the proposed system give
ample fire protection to the en
tire town?
No. There are a few homes
which,- due to their isolated lo
cation, will be left unprotected.
How many homes in Franklin
now have fire protection?
-Approximately 75.
How many homes will receive
protection under the proposed
system ?
-Approximately 228.
Will the now water system
lower the insurance rates? .

-Yes. In our opinion, rates will
be lowered 25 to 50.
How much will the tax rate be
raised, if the water bonds are
issued?
-Approximately 40c per $100 of
valuation.
How much will tax rates be
raised if both the water and
sower bonds are issued?
-Annroximately 47c per $100 of
valuation.
Does those persons using town
water, who are outside the town,
pay the same price for water
a. those who are in town?
-No. They pay 75c more per
month.
Why did the engineers . not
recommend a gravity system?
-Because the estimated cost for
a gravity svstem was $300,000.00
against $65,000.00 for the pro
posed pumping system. The
nearest protected water shed
that will afford an adequate
supply is approximately 11 miles
distant. The cost of the. large
main required to carry enough
water this i distance is prohibit
ive for a town the size of
Franklin. '

Why trd the engineers not rec
ommend the use of water from
the Tasnessee River?
-Because the, source of the Ten
nessee is in another state and
therefore beyond the control of
the North Carolina Health au
thorities. Why did the engineers' recom
mend Cartoogechaye Creek?
-Because it is the nearest ample
water supply that would be ap
proved by the North Carolina
Board of Health.
Why did the engineers disap
prove another well?
-Because the chances of striking
an ample supply of water are
insufficient to warrant the ex
penditure. Will the operation of the pro
posed ' svstem cost more than
that of the present system?
-Yes, the operation will be slight
ly more, due largely to the fact
that more water will be sup
plied. Will the money derived from
the increase in safe of water

operation?
A
In our opinion, and in the
opinion of the engineers who
have been consulted, it will more
than pay for the difference in
cost.
Is this the system generally
used in mountainous and hilly
countries?
-Yes. except where an adequate
gravity system can be installed
more cheaply. This proposed
system is already approved by
the United States Government.
Will the water be pure?
-Yes. This system is approved
and recommended by the State
Board of Health, and is the
system used by most of the
towns and cities throughout the
United States.
Does the United States Govern
ment have any control over the
way the money is spent?
-Yes, complete control. No con
tract can be made and no mon
ey paid out. until approved by
the United States Government.

QUARTERING ACTS
In 1765 Parliament passed an act
compelling the colonies to provide
the garrisons in America with fire,
candles, vinegar, salt, bedding, cook
ing utensils, and liquor. It was the
first act requiring the colonies to
tax themselves for imperial objects.
In 1774 an act was passed legaliz
ing the quartering of troops in the
town of Boston. Both acts were
most distasteful to the colonists.
