DECREASES ARE ALSO SHOWN BY TWO OF 4 TOWNS Plymouth and Cherry Show Gains; Others Smaller Than in 1920 -® Population figures on Washington :ountv. recently releascil through the Bureau of the Census, Washington, D. C., present some interesting facts. 1'he county as a whole had a popula ion of 11,603, against 11.420 in 1920, m increase of 174 for the 10-year per od, or 1.5 per cent. During the 10 rear period from 1910 to 1920, the :ounty grew from 11,062 to 11.429, or 1.3 per cent. While the county as a whole was ■egistering a small increase during die 10 years from 1920 to 1930, three of the four townships were going backwards, Plymouth township being the only one to record a gain. Fol lowing are the figures: Lees Mills township, 3,424 in 1930 against 3,796 in 1920; decrease of 372, or 9.2 per cent. Scuppernong township, 2,490 in 1930 against 2,651 in 1920; decrease of 7.2 per cent. Skinnersville township. 1,202 in 1930 against 1,291 in 1920; de crease of 89, or 6.9 per cent. Plymouth township grew from 3,691 in 1920 to 4,517 in 1930, an increase of 926 or 22.3 per cent. Of the four incorporated towns in the county, two showed increases and two decreases. The town of Plymouth grew from 1,847 in 1920 to 2,139 in 1930, an increase of 292, or 15.8 per cent.

These figures show that a total of 3,305 people live in the incorporated towns of the county now, against 3, 382 in 1920, a loss of 77. Whereas the towns lost in population a decided gain was recorded by the farms, there being a total of 8,298 now living outside of the incorporated places against 8,047 in 1920. a gain of 251, or 3.1 per cent.

REGULAR MEET TOWN COUNCIL IS HELD FRIDAY -® To Make Study of Water Rates of Other Towns In This Section -• The Town Council held its regular meeting last Friday night at the muni cipal building, the session being devot ed principally to the discussion and disposition of a number of matters of minor importance. Mayor K. P. Wal ker presided, and the following council men were present: G. D Davis, Har ry Stell. H. C. Spruill, and E. A. Bro thers. H. A. Williford and B. G. Campbell were absent. The council first discussed water rates to be made effective when the meters system is adopted February 15. A number of local people have pro tested that the scale announced a few weeks ago is too high, and the council men arc considering increasing the minimum number of gallons to be used, it is understood. The clerk Move \\ . Spruill, was instructed to write the water departments of six other towns in this section about the size of Ply mouth and request a copy of their schedules of rates. It is expected that the rates ot these ither towns will be studied at the next meeting of the council, and a chcdule for Plymouth worked out long the same general lines. On motion of Mr. Brothers, se conded by Mr. Stell, it was ordered that the town retain the services of Mr. Irving Ange after the new pump ing plant is installed. He is to look after the pumps and equipment during the daytime and have general supervi sion of the water and sewer systems of the town. Councilman Stell followed this action with a motion, seconded by Mr. Spruill, empowering Mr. Ange to employ E. A. Mizelle after the instal lation of the new pumps to be on duty at nights at the pumping station. One man is required to he on duly at all times by fire underwriters' re gulations. Mayor Walker was made a committee of one, on motion of Mr. Stell, second ed by Mr. Spruill, to dispose of the old metal roofing now being removed from the municipal building at the best price obtainable for cash. A. J. Riddle's offer of $75 for the town’s ice wagon and harness was ac cepted by the council. Mr. Brothers making the motion, which was second ed by Mr. Stell. The city clerk was instructed to write Representative Zeb Vance Nor man and request him to have a bill in troduced in the legislature to abolish the water and light commission of the town of Plymouth. Members of the commission resigned several months ago, due to the fact that the town had disposed of its electric plant, and there was little for them to do. The com missian was established by an act of the legislature, and another will be re quired to abolish the body. Blue prints of the new pumping ma chinery have been received by the [town, and Mayor Walker was dele gated to take the necessary steps to have the equipment installed upon its arrival here. DEBT 16 PERCENT OF TOTAL VALUE County Stood 83rd, Accord ing To Figures in State School Publication 1 The University of North Carolina News Letter recently carried a table showing the percentage of public-lo cal debt against the assessed valua tion in each of the 100 counties of the State, as of June 30, 1029, the late.-t year for which figures are available. Washington County stood eightvthird in the list. At that time the county-wide debt was $717,600 the district and township debt, including city schools was $178, 600, and city and town debt other than city schools was $390,154, making a grand total of $1,286,354. The total debt was 16 per cent of the total va luation of property in the county. However, of this amount, the county itself is only indebted for $717,600, the 'balance being for bonds issued by school districts, cities and towns in the county. Currituck County, with a total debt of $135,465, had the lowest percentage in the State, 2.7, while Carteret had a debt of $6,224,625, or 42.5 per cent of its total valuation. Counties that had a higher percentage than Washington included Guilford, Durham, Cumber land, Brunswick. Buncombe, find Henderson, which are considered among the richest part in the State. -$ —— Benefit Valentine Party Will Be Staged Tonight -* The Methodist Missionary Society will have a benefit Valentine Party to night (Friday) at the home of Mrs. David Hurley, the festivities begin ning at 8 p. m.

I Many Citizens Checking Up On Amount of Water Being Consumed; Much Is Wasted BIG DECREASE RECORDED IN AMOUNT USED Reduction in Scale of Rates Asked; Councilmen Are Studying Problem -e With the completion of the task of installing water meters throughout the town last week, Plymouth citizens began to cllieck up on the amount of water they were using, and to say that the majority of them were surprised would he putting it mildly. The im mediate reaction was an almost uni versal demand for a lower schedule of rates than that announced week before last by the town council. The matter was taken up at the regular meeting of the city fathers last Friday nigjit. and they are now making inquiries of other towns about the size of Ply mouth as to their rates, and it is pos sible that revised scheduled will be submitted. i he principal objection of local citi zens seems to be that the number of gallons of water permitted at the mini mum rate is too small. It is probable Ah at the entire matter will be threshed out at the next meeting of the coun cil, which is scheduled to be held Fri day night of next week. In the meantime, town authorities are urging consumers to check up on their water lines and fixtures and have all leaks, however, small, remedied be fore tlie meters are officially read for the first time February 16. It was pointed out by Mr. Spruill, city clerk, that an opening of only one-sixteenth of an inch in a pipe or around a fix ture would mean a leak of 78-100 of a gallon a minute, 46.80 gallons per hour, or 1.123 gallons in 24 hours. Since the minimum proposed is 3,000 gallons, a leak this small would use up the minimum in less than three days. Another source of waste is allowing a faucet to remain open when the wa ter is not being used. Figures furnish ed Mr. Spruill show that, at 48 pounds pressure, which is the head maintained here, an opening of 1-8 inch will flow 3.13 gallons per minute: an opening of 1-4 an inch will release 12.5 gallons per minute: 1-2 inch opening, 50.2 gallons per minute; 5-8 inch, 78.1 gallons. An opening of 3-4 inch, which is the size of many faucets here, will release 113 gallons per minute, nr 6,780 gallons in an hour. Workmen last week completed the installation throughout the town, only four places remaining to be metered, and they require a special size, which had to be ordered. An inspection is to be made by an official of the town be fore the first reading takes place, and any leaks discovered by the inspector will have to be repaired within 30 days or service will be discontinued. A considerable saving in water has already been effected, it was stated by Mr. Moye this week. The steam pump now in use has been slowed to its minimum speed, and is cut off for two or three hours each day. Before the meters were installed, it was kept run ning at its maximum capacity 24 hours every day, and then it was sel dom possible to keep the tank full. The tank overflowed last week for the first time in many weeks, and it is kept full all of the time now Scuppernong Woman’s Club Meeting Monday -® The Scuppernong Woman's Club heir] its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. H. \V. Xorman Monday after noon. Following the opening exer cises, Miss Covington gave both the January demonstration on picture hang ing and the February demonstation of finishing old floors.

I Saturday, February 14, Is St. Valentine’s Day Saturday, February 14, being St. Valentine's Day, it will pro bably be of interest to many rea ders to learn how it originated. During the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius, a decree was issued forbidding soldiers to mar ry because married men thought more of their homes than they did of warfare. The good Saint Valentine invited young couples to come to him, so legend says, and he secretly married them. He thereby became the lovers’ saint, and the day on which he suffered martyrdom was dedi cated to him. YOUNG MAN DIES AT CHERRY HOME .

Gurkin this week. Six of the number were false alarms, several of which occured last Christmas Day. /The other 15 calls were to small blazes that might become large ones had not the men responded quickly in each instance. Mr. Gurkin had no record of the damage done, most of the fires being extinguished before enough loss to re cord took place. However, the chief estimated that at least $20,000 damage would have resulted if the company had not been adequately equipped to cope with the blazes, not counting any loss that would have resulted from the flames spreading. The actual cost to the town, for gasoline, oil, and upkeep of the trucks was less than $20, the fire chief re ported, and as the firemen receive no salaries or other compensation, this represents the entire cost for the year. There are 22 members of the depart ment. Home Agent’s Schedule For Week Announced -» Mis* Pratt Covington, county home atfent, announces 'her schedule for the coming week, a> follows: Monday.
