C. Hubbard, director of Stream Sanitation and Hydrology. State approval is considered tantamount to early approval by the federal agency. Awaited and expected for sev- eral months, approval by the state committee was no surprise, but approval of the full grant for the current fiscal year had not been assured when tentative state approval of the Kings Mountain application was given several months ago. Indicated 1966-67 grant was $307,000. The total project is expected to cost $1,300,000, including: 1) Revision of the existing McGill Creek plant from a trick- ling filter type to an extended aeration type with capacity dou- bled "to one-million gallon daily capacity. 2) Construction of a new two- million gallon daily capacity ex- tended aeration type plant on Pilot Branch near its junction with Buffalo Creek. j 3) A main outfall sewer line from the Mauney Imhoff tank to the treatment plant. 4) Two sewage pump stations with necessary outfalls and force { mains at the locations shown on ' th eplans. i 3) Purchase of line right- -of- way and treatment plant site. Plans and specifications were completed by the city’s engineer: ing firm W. K. Dickson & Com- pany, in ‘January. ‘Mayor Moss said bids will be invited as quickly as approval is received from the federal agen- cy. Citizens, in a special election, authorized the borrowing of up to $1,300,000 for the sewer sys- tem improvements. Approval of the federal grant, assuming the bidding and estimates match, means that the city cost will be reduced to $911,500. Vote Petitions May Be Filed Petitions asking an election to determine legalizing sale of wine and beer for off-premises con- sumption. and legal sale of liquor via ABC stores are expected to be filed next week with the dis- trict legislative delegation. The city commission, which serves as the city election board, will be asked to authenticate the signatures, one of the circulators said, to 1) determine that 511 citizens signed (making the call- ing of the beer-wine election mandatory on the board) and 2) to show the legislative delega- tion there is sufficient: demand on part of Kings Mountain. citi- zens to authorize an ABC elec- tion by legislative, The petitions seek elections on both questions and the spokes: man said the “wet” decision by the Supreme Court in the Reids- ville case has made no change in Kings Mountain “wets” modus operandi to seek and election at the ballot box, A General Assem- bly act establishing liquor stores in Reidsville minus an election .| was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5 to 2 decision.
