.... ; 'Tm looking forward to reUintfpg4o Waynetvllla, and seeing
my old friends againt" said Santa Claus this morning In a telephone
conversation from the North Pole. He is pictured here on his
visit to the town last year. He's due at Hazel wood at 3 p.m. V
The machinery has been set in
to action for calling a bond election
for expanding Way nesvllle's water-
system.
The mayor and board of alder
men have gone on record authorlz
ing Town Manager G. C. Ferguson
to get estimates immediately on the
project, which was proposed five
years ago. At that time the cost
was set at $175,000. Major J. H.
Way said today he expected pres
ent-day costs would be about $250,'
000.
Included in the project is a new
and modem filtering plant, to take
the place of the 40-ycar-old unit
now in use. Also a parallel 10-inch
main pipe line from the intakes al
Cherry Cove and Rocky Branch
dams would be run to connect with
the reservoir.
Only one line now supplies water
for the entire community from the
intakes on the 9000-acre watershed
and officials point to the danger of
a break-down in the lines.
: The filtering plant built 40
years ago Is far from being ado
quate to take care of the steadily
increased consumption of water
The system supplies water for not
only the town of Waynesville, but
also Hazel wood, : Lake Junaluska,
and several outlying sections ad
joining all three communities.
iThe election would be called for
the specific purpose of approving
Issuance of sufficient bonds to cov
er costs of the project, Mr. Way
