Saluda to Have
Bond Issue
That Saluda is following in the
footsteps of other progressive Western
Xorth Carolina towns, is evidenced
by the fact that they are preparing
to issue bonds for the extension
of the city's water supply.
It Is reported from an authoritive
source, that about eightly per cent
of the town voters are greatly in
favor of this step. The new bond
issue calls for the issuance of $50,000
to enlarge the water upply,
which is a mere trifle when one
stops to thing of the great benefit
that will come to this ever popular
and growing resort center.
Water Shortage in the Summer
SeaMH
I source that about eightly per cent
' Saluda has grown so rapidly in the
| past few years that precaution had
110 be taken in order to avoid a possible
shortage, that Saluda could not
' make a better investment than the
J issuance of these bonds is beyond
suestion. These great and big town
(improvements will remain long after
[some of thg standpatters have given
up hopes of ever blocking any move
j that will hinder the citys growth,
j Tryon is glad to-see that her neigh|
boring mountain town is awakening
J to the fact that an adequate water
| supply is the best asset that any
| small town can have and runner,
more the small additional tax that
| will be involved amounts to less
| than a hill of beans. Go to it Saluda;
you are making wonderful strides
in the Path of progress.
