"j ) In contrast with city governments, which are slow to keep ap with pop ulation growth, is that of the town of Farmvilie, where municipal ser vices are not allowed to become in* adequate before an increase in facili ties is made; this was observed this summer when with no water shortage apparent and only as s means of pre paredness the City Fathers began operations to increase the local water supply, and within the past few weeks have succeeded in obtaining an increase of 600 gallons per minute, which is considered adequate for any " emergency. A sewerage disposal plant, which is to cost $15,000 is under construction at present But nowhere has the foresight and provision of the Town Board been better demonstrated than in the re cent changes and additions made in the light and water plant itself; in the installment of two Diesel engines, which combined with other engines in the plant provide a total of 1200 horse power, and in die building . which houses these Herculean giants of modern times. These two new . engines, which "make the wheels go "round" in Farmvilie shine like gems in their case of modern masonry, and Superintendent W. A. McAdams is justified in the great pride he has in the plant, and for his pleasure at ex hibiting the new building and equip ment. In a comparative statement or J my 22, relative to the effect of the change 'from steam plant to Diesel engines a year ago, it was found that the total expense with eight months steam and four months Diesel in 1936-37 was *34,540.52; in 1937- ] 38 when Diesel plant was in full op eration, *25,476.22; that gross receipts were *49,092.23 in 1936-37, and *53, 369.72 in 1937-38, with net receipts ] above operation cost totaling *14,- ? 551.72 in 1936-37 and *27,898.52 in 1 1937-38, a difference and gain of ! *13,341.80. ? When the amount of debt service, < *7,714.75 for year 1937-38 including light plant and a new tank, was de- \ ducted from the net receipts for that j year there is still a net profit of *20,- j 1 178.77, a gain of *5 627.05 over 1936- I < 37. |j During this period there were two 1 ^-r W. A. MeADAMS Superintendent Water ft Light Dept. President Famrffle Building ft Loan A?*n. reductions in the light rates amount-* ing to 25 per ceift; 10 per cent hi 1936 and 15 per cent January 1, 1988. The plant load has increased j. 40 per cent within the past twelve months and notwithstanding the re duced rates it is anticipated that this year's operation will net 15 per cent increase in revenue. When the recently announced allot ment of an additional flof000 for the Pitt and Greene Electric Member ship Corporation project-by the REA has been used- by. the Corporation to build 15.7 additional miles of lines the Farmville plant will extend dis tribution of power over a total of 101.7 miles of this new rural power project and serve 529 customers ill these two counties. A total of 5100, 200.00 has been allotted by the REA in three allotments for this electrifi cation service. The completion of this work will mark a step of progress, for-the peo ple of Pitt and Greene counties, and of Farmville also, all of whom will be greatly indebted for the active support and influence of .the Hon. Lindsay C. Warren, United States Congressman from the 1st; -District. The policy of looking ahead, which marked the administration v of ex mayor John B. Lewis, who with his ward of town aldermen completed >ne of the most successful periods of idvancement and development in the listOry of Farmville, has also char ? , , - , f ? ; ? acterized that of the present Mayor, tion three members serving on the former board, Or, W. M. Willis, J. W. Joyner and A. J. Flanagan, with R. 0. Lang and Irvin Morgan, Jr., succeeding J. M. Stansill and Mayor Davis. City Clerk R. A. Joyner and W. A. McAdams, Superintendent of the wa ter and light department, deserve commendation and praise for the large part they have had in the suc cessful undertakings of both admin fctratlons. Ipllpl '7 ? The latest plans for using around $19,00000 for municipal improvement here have to do with the future pro gress and will include the installation of a new engine at the power plant, which is necessitated by increased use of current, and for water and 'sewerage extension to white and col jored sections which have not as yet 1 had this service, and which is deemed f important in safeguarding the fu I ture health of citizens here. These proposed improvements are expected to bring in additional reve nue sufficient to pay the principal and interest-on the proposed bond issue when-considered with the re cent improvements already complet ed, so that no additional taxes Will need be levied for the obligation created. A statement from City Clerk Joy ner today announced that town au thorities were jubilant over the elec tion held Tuesday of this week for the purpose of authorizing a bond issue in the some of $99,000.00 to fi nance 55 per cent of these proposed improvements, to be used in con junction with a PWA grant, already approved; which met with the almost unanimous approval of voters here; only three citizens being unconvinced ! that the improvement should be made in this way.
