Water L? Top
Need Of Town
This week's question: "What do
you think is Franklin's number
one need at present."
T. W. Angel, Jr.: "Water is
the number one need in Franklin
today. Franklin has reached the
limits of its expansion until we
solve the problem of an adequate
water supply. The town should
employ qualified hydrolic engi
neers to study the Wayah water
shed and see if there Is enough
water available there for Frank
lin's future needs and growth and
see whether or not thfc cost of
this supply would be prohibitive,
personally I favor the Cartooge
chaye pumping station as a source
where there is plenty of water."
Lester Henderson: "I feel that
one of the most Important Issues
up for consideration today is a
new water supply for Franklin.
I feel that the town can't glow
as it could or should if we don't
have plenty of water. I certainly
wouldn't know whether we should
use a pumping station or a water
shed, but leave that up to the
experts.
"However, even u layman can
see that we do need more water
soon if we expect to attract mare
industry or even more homes. It
seems that here in the mountains
we could furnish this one thing |
much better than other places. We
should have the best water in
the world here."
John M. Archer. Jr.; "X feel
that the water problem in Frank- i
lin is very important at this) time, .
