Hydrants On
Back Alley
Group Discusses
Proposal That Town
Buy Reeves Building
And Make Street
Two fire hydrants arc to be plac
ed in the back alley off Main Street
as added protection to the busi
ness buildings, it was decided at
the Town Board meeting Thursday
night.
G. C. Ferguson, town manager,
was asked to study the question of
the most practical way of running
an extension from existing water
lines and the best position for the
two hydrants. He was given author
ity to order what equipment will be
necessary, and anticipates that get
ting delivery on the items required
will be the main thing that de
termines when the hydrants will be
ready for operation.
The mayor and aldermen also
discussed the suggestion, as rec
ommended by the Chamber of
Commerce board of directors, that
the Town purchase the Reeves
building on Main Street, tcr it
down, and make a street at that
place connecting Main and the
back alley. Some favorable com
ments were made on the proposi
tion, but no definite action was
taken.
The remainder of the meeting

More Than $2,000
Reported During
First Week Of
Annual Drive
Waynesville stands a good chance
of being the first Red Cross chap
ter in North Carolina to reach its
yearly quota, keeping up its repu
tation of staying at the top in this
respect, announces Jim Kilpatrick
general chairman, who reports
that more than $2,000 has been ac
counted for already.
Of the 162 local chapters in
North Carolina, Waynesville was
the second one to conclude its
drive last year, which indicates the
general support given the Ked
Cross here.
"We hope to complete the drive
this week." states Mr. Kilpatrick.
A number of rural areas have not
turned in their reports. At noon
yesterday more than $2,000 was on
hand, and the chairman planned
the check with Red Cross workers

mine their success.
This represents approximately
two-thirds of the $3,122 goal set
for Waynesville and the surround
ing area.
