A J. Peeler-, fyyrte'Atoi.:
Kenansville is at long last go
ing to have the opportunity to
vote for an edequate water sys
tem which will take care of the
town in water supply and fire
protection.
At a mass meeting called on
Tuesday night by Lauren R.
Sharpe, Mayor and the Town Bo
ard, the inadequate water sys
tem of Kenansville was discussed
with the citizens and a plan pro
posed which had been studied
and worked out by the Mayor
and the Town Board showing how
the inadequacy could be correc- .
ted.
Mayor Sharpe explained the
present water system to the
group. Eventhough the water sys
tem and sewer system of Kenans
ville has been talked about for
many years, no pla-ns have ac
tually been studied or proposed
to the town. Within the last two
years the town government has
taken the initiative plan for the
town of Kr-nansville.
Kenansville has a teriffic in
surance rating of 9A or 9AA
which car.'ies a high premium.
If the proposed water system
is installed it will cut the insu
rance ii:e (m property in Ken
ansville A'l to 45 and Kenans
ville will then have a rating
of 8.
The cost of the new water
system will be $120,000. In order
to raise this amount, the town
will have to vote on a bond is
sue to borrow the money. With
what money has been saved with
this project in view, with the in
come from taxes, and a 50
increase on the water rates, this
work can be accomplished WITH
OUT an increase in taxes. The sa
ving in insurance will more than
offset the increase in water ra
tes, in many cases the savings
will double the increase in this
water cost
The present water system in
Kenansville was put down only
to satisf y domestic users. Never
anyone 20 years ago dream
that Kenansville would grow like
jt has. Within the last ten years
, 58 new houses have been built
here.

sentee voting.
Mr. Hicks announced that the
District Meeting for District 5
growers will be held in Golds
boro, N. C, on March 4, 1959, at
2-no n m.. in the Wayne Counts
Community Building. Even tho
ugh there will not be an election
. of a director this year from the-
district, he stated that other pro
blems of vital concern to gro
wers would be discussed along
with a current report on Stabili
zation's operations. He added
that the division of the territory
into districts would enable more
growers to participate in the af
fairs of the Cooperative and ur
ged that every grower make an
effort to be present for this meet
ing, "v
Farm leaders attending the
session will include officials of
the North Carolina Farm Bureau,
Grange, Extension Service and'
Tobacco Associates.
