Hayesville Lists Expenses
The town of Hayesville has
one less bond issue to worry
about. Acording to W. E.
Carter, derk to the town
board, the last of a 1945 issue
of town bonds was paid during
last year. These bonds had
been Issued to re-fund a ssrtes
of bonds issued back in the
'20s and on which paj lyal
had been defaulted.
M.J
However, this does not lift
the more recent bond issue of
1964 for a total of $30,000.
Totalstill outstanding on these
bonds is $26,000. This
$30,000 was used as matching
funds to obtain grant of federal
monies to put in a new sewer
system.
Over and above the amount
expended on this sewer system
and prior to the annual audit
of June 30, 1969, the town
drilled two deep wells at a cost
of $1,300 plus $2,040 for
pumps and $1,077 for water
meters.
The use of the spring south
of Hayesville has been
discontinued quite some time
ago and now the well on Town
Mountain has been cut off
from the town water supply.
The two deep wells is the total
source of water supply at
present. Samples of this water
are tested each month by the
state health department and it
has proven to be so near-pure
that the use of chlorine is not
required.
Beside making regular
payments on bonded
indebtedness and putting in the
new water system, a year's
expense of town government
operation costs about $9,800;
Administrative such as salaries
of officials, legal and audit
work, insurance, etc., $2,700;
Street Department: repairs,
electricity for street lights, etc.
$3,200; Sanitation
Department: Salary, garbage
collector and dozer work at
garbage dump $2,660; Police
Department, $474 and Fire

Warning
Given On
Bad Tires
R ALEIGH-The
Attorney General's Office and
the Department of Motor
Vehicles, in a joint release this
week, warned North Carolina
tire dealers and motorists
against the sale or purchase of
inferior quality tires for use on
passenger cars and other
vehicles traveling the highways
of the state.
According to the statement,
issued by Attorney General
Robert Morgan and Motor
Vehicles Commissioner Joe W.
Garrett, an investigation by the
License and Safety Inspection
Division of the Motor Vehicles
Department has definitely
established the fact that
"factory reject" tires have been
sold in North Carolina for
general highway use.
Details of the investigation
have been turned over to the
Consumer Protection Division
of the Attorney General's
Office and a report made to
the Federal Department of
Transportation.
Garrett said that federal
authorities have already
warned all domestic and
foreign tire manufacturers
against the sale of these
generally inferior tires for
highway use. The agency
pointed out that while the tires
normally carry the legend,
there have been instances in
nkioK. doalars and distributors
t purchasers have not been
informed that the 'ires are
dangerous for highway use.
The National Highway
Safety Bureau, which
according to Garrett, sets
specific performance standards
for tires, has urged all
manufacturers to advise their
dealers and distributors that
the sale of farm tires for
highway use constitutes a
violation of the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicles Act
of 1966 and carries penalties of
up to $1,000 for each
vi olation.

One of the nicest things about buying an Impala is selling it. That's because selling it
traditionally brings back more of what people put into it in the first place. Money.
Where does Impala keep getting its higher resale value? From features like those you
see below. Features which explain why America's most popular car for the last nine
years will undoubtedly make it ten in a row.
