Under the directfcm of Capt James C.

Construction projects Included a large mess hall, power, water, and sewage installations, as well as the rehabilitation of several aban doned buildings within the camp site area for use as Group Head quarters, Dispensary, Officers' Mesa, and a supply warehouse.

In Towns Require Mom Wafer, But Supply Becomes Less (Note: TUi article kaa keen pr CmlnkMn far tbe ptrpoie M Hulk of Ike recent aUlr nUt M Prom the mtunfafaa It the Madt, North Carolina communities ate being caught in I viae that appear* lo Iran tighter with eatfc y?*| lay In many ioitaaces the pre* sure has already incraaatd to the paint that ecoaoiatc expansion hat been halted and future proipecta have become Weak. The problem, of course, it water. Whdte outside forces cut sharply Into previously adequate municipal water supplies, the pressor* from wifhin increases in the form of sotting industrial, domestifc and recreational water coeds. Ik effect, tnunletpaHBes are re quiring more tad more water while their supplies become less and less. Matters are ctmplicated by the fact that many towns and cities have inadequate water treatment aad towage disposal facilities. This factor not only aggravates the problem within the lndlvidutl com munity but tlso brings down upon I the community t heavy volume Of I criticism from neighboring rural Interests that must contend with stream pollution. At the same Ume, municipal officials protest tkat the farm ers recently acquired devotion to large-scale irrigation seriously depletes city water supplies? particularly during the summer months when urban require ments are at a peak. Farmers counter tkat upstream communi ties use to mack water daring the rammer thtt the farmer can not find enough to meet hit Irri Ration needs. Both compltints are perfectly valid. If an additional complication Is needed to emphasize the serious ness of the problem, It can be obtained by glancing briefly at the legal aspects of the situation. Boiled down to iti essentials, nei ther the municipality nor the irri gator hat a legal right to remove water from a ttreim without te turning it. The Hlparian Rights Doctrine, upon which North Ctrolint and most other eastern ttatet bate the settlement of water controvente*, states that only those individuals owning land adjacent to * stream have a right to the uta of water from the atraam. The dactrUte farther ttatet that ifafafah Wrawa teky wt flclal purposes" and these atct are Raited by the requirement that the water be parmttted to Mwd la quantity aad ualmpared la quality. On ? basis of tbia doctrine, municlpalitiea, which do not quali fy at riparian owners even though they border ? stream, have no legal claim on the water that flows in tht stream. Similarly, irriga tion it aot legally classified at ? "beneficial uee" and the acquisi tion eg water from a stream far that purpose it therefore t direct violation af the riparian doctrine.

So are the board'e detailed projection of population and water use trends through the year W5. As ti the case with all water problems, those associated with municipalities are such that realia tic solutions are very evasive. Ob viously, the key to the answers lie hi close Urban-rural coopera tion, with each faction recogniz ing the other's problems and needs. Ample water Is available to meet the needs Of both? IT an effective means can be found -for replacing the presort competition with co operation. The responsibility for finding this means lies, not ex clusively with state officials, but with every citizen as well.

The work started at 11th Street and will go west at far as the Camp Glenn School. Whete grass Is *>wn, Commis sioner Sanderson continued, con crete markers will be placed about S inches from the highway and motorists are to keep otf the seed ed areas. Mr. Sanderson also mentioned that if a church happens to be on Areodell Street where the seeding has taken place that the parish ioners cooperate with the town by not parking oo the seeded area. The commissioner said that grassed areas cannot be mowed, either, if trash is among the grass. Again persons are asked to re frain from throwing beer eans and other litter along the street. The commissioner said that the state will be requested to build up the shoulders of the highway west of Camp GleBa School so that the town can attempt to improve the appearance of that section of high way.

Conservation Reserve It TP Deadline Draws Near The April IS deadline for p*-' ticfcation in the 1958 Coaaervation Reserve Program U drawing near. H. D. Godfrey, administrative officer tor the ASC Mate commit tee, teportt that rren though the signup has been going on for five months, farmers have only used about 12 per cent of this State's Conservation Reserve allocation. New features in the 1958 Soil Bank Conservation Reserve offer many advantages to -laadtowners who signed contracts under the program to 1958, Mr. Godfrey says. He says any farmer or land owner Who has acreage that could be planted to shrubs or trees would be wise to check wkh his local ASC comikittee to find how these changes might affect him. One change of interest to many landowners is more flexibility m the length 61 the contracts. Pre viously all tree and shrub (tatt ings were under 10-year contracts only. Now, at the option o< the producer, five-year, and 10-year contracts are available for shei terbelt and wildlife habitat plant lags. The 10-year requirement still ap plies to torert trees. Contracts pro vide for initial payments to hefc> meet the expense of planting and additional yearly payments for keeping the land out oi crap pro duction. The 1958 program also authorizes county ASC committees to grant higher non-diversion rates of pay ment when all the eligible land on a farm is planted to shrubs and trees, or when any of the land is planted to forest trees. "With conservation as badly needed as It is in this state, far mers Just can't afford to miss the opportunity to protect our farm land for the future and to receive payments while performing this service," Godfrey said.
