The money obtained by the bond issue will be added to, the $205,030 grant awarded the town under th e Federal Aoeelerated Public Works Program. The town’s .engineers, who are now at work on th* plant» ‘design, have given assurance that the bond issue will provide suffi cient funds to complete tfiek'pro ject The start of construction Is still uncertain, although the Federal authorities stipulated when the grant was mad e that Construction sthouid start this fail. The Town Board, nowever, in view of engi neering advice that the plant will cost substantially more if con structed in winter, have filed a formal request that the start of construction be postponed until Match. •-\ ■ ■ • Both Senator Sam •' Ervin and Congressman Roy A. Taylor • have endorsed the postponement, as well as the N. C. State Stream Sanita tion Commission. The Town Board is now study ing to determine the most advan tageous method of marketing the bond issue. They may be sold either by means of sealed bids to jttnancial houses, who in turn will sell them to Investors, or the en tire issue may be so ld to the Housing and Home Financing Agency of the Federal Govern ment. The Interest rate in the lat ter case would be somewhat low er, particularly since Yar.feey County is classified as one of the iflljvTavArn'nm iimWi.i other hand, obtaining funds from the Federal Government involves considerable burdensome and ex pensive red tape, which tends to offset the saving in interest.
