This condi tion not only results in increasing the pollution of the receiving streams, thereby Impairing their normal usages, but actually creates a condition which is detrimental to tfie public hearth of the community. Furthermore, the annual cost of op perating plants which are overload ed is considerably higher than for op erating properly designed adequate plants. "In view of the above and 1n view of the importance of properly treat ing sewage before discharging it into our public streams for the pres ervation of public health as well as the normal usage of our water cour ses, the State Board of Health wish es to commend you and the people of Kings Mountain for your efforts to improve sanitary conditions in your progressive community. It is our observation that adequate sew age disposal facilities are absolutely necessary to the continued public health and industrial progress of any community.
