Suggestion
Meets With
Much Favor
H\ BILL LEtNBACH
? Staff Writer
Variops official groups have ex
pressed approval of the editorial
in last Thursday's issue of The
Mountaineer that called for an im
provement of the swimming facili
ties at Lake Junaluska that would
not involve court action.
The lake was closed last week
to swimmers by the county health
office because of unsanitary con
ditions that exist there.
A spokesman for the Health De
partment, the Lake trustees, and
town officials of Waynesville and
.'Hazelwood said that in all proba
bility the four groups will meet
this week to discuss suggestions
outlined in the editorial.
The editorial made three sug
gestions;
'1' The construction of a wall
arouhd the swimming area and the
installation of a clorination system
to control the sanitation of the
water at all times.
'21 The employment of engineers
to survey the drainage "rea of Rich
land ( reek and Lake Junaluska.
<3i Each section of the county
enter into a contract that the rec
ommendations of the engineer com
mittee will he carried out by a
specific time.
The Lake trustees have requested
that legal action be taken to get
the streams that feed into the
Lake cleared of pollution. No ac
tion had_Jc>oon taken as of Monday
noon but the attorney. William
.Vledford. said it would be started
as soon as possible.
The Mountaineer feels its sug
gestions would solve the problem
without the necessity of expensive
court action.
