Glover, March 31-There' jolly
row in town over proposal to hold an
election on the question of issuing
bonds in the sum Of about s5O0OG for
the construction Of a sewerage system
for Clover Proponents of the PROPOSE
tion, it is said, have gone ahead and
obtained signatures Of q majority OF
the freeholders Of the town asking the
town council to call an election on the
question. Now those who are opposed
to the bond issue for a sewer system
arc circulating petitions among the
frecholders asking council not to call
an election.
Some Of those, it is said who signed
the petition asking the calling or an
election have turned around and signed
that petition asking that an election be
not called.
Pretty nearly everybody is agreed
that if the election is called the issue
will carry since it is THO history OF
Glover that bond issue has never
failed here. -.
There is all kinds, Of talk going the
rounds in connection with the proposal
Some have even gone so far as to figure
in their imagination just how the mem
bcrs of the council stand in regard to
the proposition.
Proponents Of the plan have n variety
of arguments for and opponents oi
course have Il number OF arguments
against. Proponents point to the 1ac'
that the little town Of Blacksbure
which is not nearly so large as Glover
only a few days ago voted a Sl25,ooV
bond issue for n sewerage and light
plant. They argue that If Blacksburg
can stand $4,000 for the purpose Clo-
vcr can certainly stand S5o'oot es-
prcially in view of the fact that the
towns bonded Indebtedness at the
present time is only 10000.
Then they say that if Glover is 60
ing to grow and make the progress thai
she should make in keep ng with other
South Carolina towns Sewerage sys-
tom is q necessity.
In the counter petition asking tha'
tho election be not held it-is~set forth
that the present time is not oppbrtuhe
rnr such Il large expenditure OF money
and that 1t is general knowledge tha'
there Is not 1T present sufficient water
available for taking care of present
domestic consumption and there IS no
assurance that the increased water
supply could he had without going to
the surrounding creeks and branches
which Would necessitate an additional
bond incfeasc.
It is further pointed out that should
thc sewerage system be installed ana
made effective it would force every
property oHncr to connect up with inc
system, which would he very burden
some.
Ponds cannot be sold ut the present
time except at high rates OF interest IL
is claimed. The opposing petition tC
,ou,cil in conclusion states that I'VE
could state other reasons why lhe e'ec'
tim shuuld not br called ut this time
and wc trust that before your hnnora-
lilo bndy takes action on this matter
that i; bc weighed from all angles.
