Supports Clean Water Bond Referendum The Perquimans , County Chamber of Commerce is continuing to urge area voters to look with favor, when they ' enter the booth on May 6, on the S150 million Clean Water Bond referendum. For those whose sole concern .Is their pocketbook this reminder. While we benefit from this there will be no cost to the i local taxpayer, or on a statewide basis. The money for water and sewage improvements will come from the sale of bonds. But the important thing to consider are the benefits. - The money will be used In thls county, and elsewhere, for water pollution abatement and control, better and cleaner sewage facilities. The bonds will provide the funds to the local governments Involved to provide cleaner streams, to insure adequate and gate water supplies, to provide - more areas for water : recreation, to improve fish and wildlife values and to enhance the beauty of the landscape. The bond money will mean the state can pay about 25 per cent of the cost of the project, Board Of Directors To Meet Monday The Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce Board .of' Directors will hold its : monthly meeting Monday night in the Municipal Building. : please note the change In time. The meeting will start at 8 ' p.m. rather than 7:30 p.m. One of the major items of rfiicussion will concern the forthcoming religious celebration which, as you will note from ah article elsewhere in the paper, la coming along ; very well. Week April 16-22 In its second year in the new library building, P.C.H.S. has had many books and audio visual aids added; it is truly a multi-media center to foster the learning process, Many books from Perquimans Union School have been processed and added to the library collection. Hundreds of supplementary books have been processed and moved to the general collection area so that they are more easily available to students as well as to the teachers. Magazines are very popular with the students, for recreational reading and for reference material. Magazines which are indexed in the Reader's Guide are kept on file for five years.
