This bill has been rendered to Wa.vnesville monllilj We will have lo insist that this be taken into consideration when this- matter is settled, and not summarily disregarded. The Town ol Haelwood is at present rendering an essential service to certian citizens of Waynesville and will have to continue to do t.o unless an expensive sewerage sys tem is installed by Waynesville. Hazelwood is glad to render this service to a neighboring municip ality, but it insists that some con sideration and recognition be giv en to Hiis fact in Hie. settlement of the present controversy."
