Board Tentatively OK's Waterworks
Franchise ; Cancels Bus Franchise
The Morehead City town board
tentatively approved Thursday
night the granting of the munici
pal water franchise to Carolina
Waterworks Co. and cancelled the
Community Bus Line franchise
held by Marvin Powers and Carl
Goodwin.
The transfer of the water fran
chise has been requested by Caro
lina Power and Light Co., present
operators of the waterworks. CP&L
has made arrangement for sale of
the water properties serving More
head City. Beaufort and Snow Hill.
The transfer is scheduled to be
come effective at midnight June 30.
The Morehead City board did
not give final approval Thursday
night because they felt further
study of the matter is desirable.
The board is concerned with the
willingness of the new water com
pany operators' collecting assess
ments for sewage disposal. Mayor
George Dill explained that under
the present franchise a more mod
ern system of sewage disposal is
impossible because the water com
pany is not obligated to collect
sewage assessments. Neither can
the town finance a better ?ewage
system undei the present tax rate,
he adfled.
"Water and sewage works to- !
