ROTTEN DOG in
WATER SUPPLY
Find Stirs Up New City Man.
ager Who Is Finding A
Lot of Things Wrong.

The discovery this week of
the rotten carcass Of a dog tied
up in a burlap bag, in the edge
Of knobbs Creek from where
the city's water supply is TAX
en-, has brought down the
wrath of City Manager John
Bray, and he plans to 60 after
sanitary conditions in this city
with hammer and tongs.
Buzzards circling over the spot near
the bridge on the Newand road just
outside of the city, revealed the dog
in the bag. Somebody had evidently
tied the dog in the bag and thrown
it in the creek TO drown. And right
there it was in the city's water sup
ply, the bloated, polluted mass exud-
ing its foul smelling substance all
around.
This is just one instance of what
may be Il general thing along the
watershed of KnobbS Creek. Ac-
cording to City Manager John Bray,
the law makes it the duty OF the
Water Company to patrol the water
shed and see that it is kept clean.
Evidently somebody was not on the
job The City Manager SAYS he will
see to it that somebody is on the
job hereafter.
The new City Manager after being
on the job 80 days is convinced that if
there is anything the town has Il right
to be ashamed of, it is its sanitary
condition. While admitting that its
drainage can never be ali that is de-
sired. he believe there - plrn.v Of
room for cleaning up. and y" nts out
especially the clogscd drains. and the
lots and spaces OvcrgrOwn with weeds
A Most Important Thing
"Sanitation is the most important
thing in the city to be looked after,
Says Mr. Bray, For upon it de-
pcnds the health of the people, and
on the health of the people depends
the success of all industry and com.
mcrcc. Comp l!ison Of Elizabeth City
with other towns in the state will
make some shocking rcvciGtions.
After a month of study Of the stu
alton. Mr.. Bray thinks he is prcpar-
ed to make some recommendations
Ia the Board Of Aldermen. For. one
thing he observes that the method of
maintaining the Strc"rS is antiquatcd,
unsatisfactory and many times more
expensive than if the streets were
properly looked after. Instead Of
the old system of sending out Il
street gang TO lay sidewalks when
ever property owners petition the
the Aldermen. Mr.. Bray will ask that
a yearly fund be set aside for street
work. 1t is his opinion that street
work being permanent improve
mcnt should not come on; of the city 5

mendaton that bond issue be Great
ed to take care of tha street work,
and he believes the economy of the
new system will save the city money.
The present method of working the
dirt streets is too slow and eXpen-
Sivc. says Mr.. Bray He points out
that about $4,000 worth of street
equipment is needed to properly care
fore the streets. Mr.. Bray says he
has Deen month working over two
wards. when with proper equipment
he could have worked the entire town
in less time. The use of road ma
chnery will release for other work
in the city nearly all the force now
required to work the dirt streets
under the present antiQuated system.
City Losing Thousands.

thousands of dollars because its pro-

With plenty of entertainment fcat-'

depending largely on the farmers. ac-
cording to W. ID. Glover, Fair Secre-
tary. Mr.. Glover says if the farmers
of the district send in their usual
fine exhibits, there will be nothing
to worry about. And he has no doubt
that the farmers will put up the
goods.
Arrangements have been made for
a great industrial and agricultural
parade. the like of which has never
been seen in Elizabeth City. In this
parade, marshalls will be chosen from
among the farmers of the ten coun-
ties, and not from among the young
city men who are only interested
socially.
Entry blanks for the races are
now ready. says Mr.. Glover. Nearly
$3.OO0.00 have been provided for the
purses which insures finer class OF
