- There has been a correction In the
contract between the town Of York
Vile and the Catawba Power COM
pany whereby the town benefits $50 a

company anything to which he did not
believe the company honestly entitled.

then all could unite in the establish

the various districts would become ex-
officio members of the board Of high
