HOPE RAINS WILL
CLEAR Up WATER
Odor and Bad Taste Re-
main, Despite State Lab
oratory Analysis

City authorities and citizens in gen.
eral hoped that rains of Monday and
today would serve to clear up the
highly disagreeable situation that has
developed in the city's water supply.
For more than two weeks the city
water has contained an offensive Odor
and taste, and efforts to clear up the
trouble have thus far failed. Frequent
tests have been made of the water by
the State Laboratory of Hygiene, and
in every instance the result has been
an absence of any danger whatever
in the use and consumption of the
water, according to the announcement.
But the tests have not removed the
OdOr nor the taste that have caused
endless complaint and criticism on
the part of water consumers. Some
refuse to believe the water as pure
and wholesome as laboratory tests
have indicated, and the common re-
marks heard are that there ought to
be something that can be done about
it.
The explanation given is that the
excessively hot weather of a few
weeks ago caused a fermentation of
lakes mile east of the city, and that
vegetable matter in the waterworks
cooler weather and generous rains
should tend to relieve the situation
The water situation was discussed
by the City Council Monday evening
and the opinion then was that as soon
as practicable the lakes should be
dredged and cleaned so as to free
them of this offensive vegetation Just
when it will be possible to do this
work was not decided.

Tentative City Budget
For $172,650 Presented
Council Monday Evening
Salaries of City Employees Fixed With Only Few
Changes from Last Year; Tax Sales Ordered Ac-
cording to Law; Sund ay Blue Law Repealed

continue to receive the same salary as
before. The assistant chief of police
will te paid $3.50, and three ser
geants on the police force were fixed
at $1,36O. The meter reader for the
waterworks department was hiked
from $126O to $3.50 per year, or $40
per month. The waterworks laborer
was raised by one dollar per week.
from $3.50 to 1892 per year.
The mayor will receive $1,000 for
his services in that capacity and an
additional $50 per month as water
works manager a total of $4,000 per
year, while the city clerk will remain
at $4,000 and his assistant at $1,000
per year, and the street superinten-
dent at $4,000, the same as before.
Both the chief of police and the chief
of the fire department will be paid
$500 per year.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-07-27

tentative city budget for 1875
was presented to the Henderson City
Council Monday evening at its regular
monthly meeting, calling for a total
expenditure of $172,650.67, including
waterworks and regular city debt SER
vice of $74,861.63 The tentative budget
was ordered to be kept on file in the
CITY clerks office for one month fo'
public inspection, and it will likely b3
adopted in final form at the August
monthly meeting of the Council.
What the tax rate will be to take
care of this outlay is as yet uncer-
tain. it was said, due to the fact that
the exact valuation of city property
has not yet been worked up. Last year
the city valuation was, in round fig
ures, $6,5OO,OOO, and city authorities
hopeful that this years total will
reach $7,0OO,OO0.
For time city officials said they
"hoped" the new tax levy would not
exceed $3.50. Now they talk in terms
of S1.7O and $3.50, unofficially OF
course. They are free to say, in Il
somewhat jocular manner, that "it
won't be over 5000 They no longer
appear to be even hopeful of hold
ing the levy down to $3.50, however.
Last wear and for several previous
wears, the levy was SIPS.
General fund budget figures call
for an outlay of $97,789.04, and water
works debt service is 23,983.85, with
ordinary city de.t service at $5O,877.7S
a grand total of $172 ,650.67. The en-
tire waterworks budget is placed at
S27611, all of which, together with the
waterworks debt service is cared for
bv water department receipts, and IS
not included in the tax levy.
On motion of Alderman d. Z.
Loughlin the Sunday blue laws IN
force for several years were repealed
These have hitherto prohibited drug
stores and other establishments from
selling drinks and beverages, or other
non-essentials, during church hours.
The Council instructed the city
clerk to advertise and sell property
for tax arrears, according to the law,
and steps to that end are being taken
by the clerk.
All city salaries were fixed by the
Council Monday night, these having
been omitted at the last previous meet
ing, when city employees were elect
ed for the year. Only few changes
were made. The new office of super
visor of public works will pay $25 per
month. That post is held by Alderman
7. w. Ellis. Other Supervisors Will

RObT. BUM NAMED
AS Superintendent
Succeeds Late Father AS
Executive at Henderson
Cotton Mills

Robert Bum, superintendent of the
Harriet Cotton Mills No. 3 at South
Henderson, has been appointed super
intendent of the Henderson Cotton
Mills at North Henderson to succeed
his late father, j. Harry Bum, who
served in that capacity for nearly 30
years, and who died two weeks ago.
Announcement of the appointment
was made today by S. P. Cooper, pres
ident of both the Henderson and the
Harriet mills corporations, and the
change is effective at once.
Mr.. Cooper said the vacancy left by
Mr.. Bum at South Henderson has not
been filled as yet.
Mr.. Bum, who is 80 years of age,
is native of Henderson, and a gard
uate of the Henderson high school
and also of NJ c. State College, Ra-
leigh, where he completed the regular
collegiate course and then specialized
in textile work. For three years he
served under his father in the Hen
derson mills plant, and last year was
made superintendent of the No. 3
Harriet mill in South Henderson. Mill
officials think the promotion a happy
filling of the vacancy caused by the
death of the late j. Harry Bum.
The deceased superintendent was
held in the highest esteem by the
overseers and employees Of the Hen
derson mill, as well as by the high Of
ficials of the corporations. His son,
now taking his place, is also well
known to the employees and to the
officials, and his appointment to the
vacancy is understood to be ute quite
popular with the workers.
