Utmoent of A. 1. Jenkins, Mayor
of ha Town of Warsaw, con-
ewilif wttar ul sewer bond
election and various lmprove
taante la the town of Warsaw. ',
On Tuesday night, April 30,
194A, a mass meeting was held in
the Warsaw High School Auditor
ium, after due publication and advertisement,-
to discuss the matter
of calling an election for the Is
suance of water and sewer bonds
for the extension to the present
systems' of the town. The citizens
of the town who were present vo
ted unanimously in favor of this
election. After the due preparation
of the papers by the bond attor
neys, the notices have been duly
published in the paper, and the
election will be held August 13th
at the Town HaU. .
For the benefit of those citi
zens who were not present at the
mat meeting the following are
the ytiHif on which the bonds
will bo Issued: , v
, Then will be no increase in the
tax rate in the town of Warsaw
for the payment of these bonds,
the payment of same being anti
cipated by the savings made in
the refunding of the present out
standing bond issue, which saves
the town approximately $2500.00
a year on interest. There will be
a fly cent (.50) sewer assess
ment on each monthly water bill
for every person having water and
sewer connectolns to their prop
erty. The. money received from
this assessment will be pluoed in
the sinking fund and will 'apply
the payment of the bonds. This
t will apply to every
ater and sewer customer, old and
new. Every house in the .town of
Warsaw to which water and sewer
facilities are available or will be
made available by the extension
of the water and sewer systems,
will be required to install water
and sewage to each house within
jthe town limits. The money de
rived from the sale of the bonds
will be placed in a special account
and cannot be used by the town
for any purpose other than on the
water and sewer systems of , the
town of Warsaw. a
The State law prohibits any
member of the Town Board, or its
officials, the Mayor, etc., from bid
ding or having any connection
with any contract made by the
town, and personally, I wish to
assure you that this law will be
followed to its full Intent -
The $50,000.00 bond issue is all
that the local Government Com
mission of the State would ap
prove for the town without in
creasing the tax rate, and this
amount Is only half as much as
Is estimated by the town engineer
to extend the water and sewer
lines to every house without same,
within the town limits.
It Is proposed to use the $50,
000 XX) to extend the water and
sewer lines to the most thickly
populated areas and where It will
accomodate the most persons.
There will not be any extensions
beyond the town limits and all
persons obtaining water and sew
er from the town beyond the town
limits do so at their own expense
and pay twice the water rate as
the citizens of the town.
With reference to the paving
program that is under way I wish
to make this statement: The town
of Warsaw is not paying one cent
toward this paving. The street
which is being paved Is designated
on the County maps as a County
road, and the State Highway De
partment is furnishing all mater
ials and labor in connection with
the drainage and paving of this
street The town officials have had
nothing whatever to do with the
paving of this street, or how much
of It is to be paved, or how it js
to be paved. They are very thank
fl that the town is getting the

With reference to the Freezer
Locker Plant, which is now under
construction in the town, . and
which will be a great asset to the
town, I wish to make this state
ment: Through the efforts of my
self and Mr. Charles Sheffield the
preliminary investigations of the
site and the subsequent holding of
a mass meeting of the town in
which this project was explained
by Mr. Goad of Raleigh and the
signing up and the payment for
the freezer lockers at this meet
ing assured the building of the
locker plant - At this meeting a
committee was appointed, compos
ed of Mr. J.'C Thompson, Mr.
Charles Sheffield, Mr. Satterfield
and myself. This committee work
ed with the contractors in getting
the plant started. The entire plant
is being built by Messrs. Paul and
Deems Clifton, and to my know
ledge, no other persons are Inter
ested in same. The Town Board
and myself, at this time, wish to
express otu; appreciation to these
men for making their investment
in the town and wish to assure
them of our continued cooperation
in making this local plant a suc
cess,
' 'At present ,as Mayor of the
town, and the fact that there is
not an organized association in the
town for the handling of such
matters, J am working closely
with Robert West and other out
side interested persons endeavor
ing to locate in Warsaw some
small industry t This is being done
at my expense, and none of the
town funds are being used for this
purpose. At this time I think U s
very appropriate tliat I request all
ctlzens ' of the town of Warsaw
who are interested in seeing the
town develop and grow into a
community in keeping with the
progress and standards set by our
neighbors to cooperate and work
together to make Warsaw Ithe best
town and second to none in this
section of our State. This can only
be done by the united efforts of
