Making Survey of
Graham for Sewerage System
In accordance with the sentiment expressed by a well
attended citizen’s meeting at the court house, called by Mayor R.L. Holmes, a
corps of engineers, consisting of Messrs. H.F. Wideman, and F.J. Kies of
Atlanta and E.M. Gregory of Charleston, S.C., from the Solomon-Norcross Co. of
Atlanta are here working on a survey to determine the feasibility and
approximate cost of a sewerage system for Graham.
The meeting expressed a willingness for the Town Board to
spend as much as $750 in making the survey, and whether it shall be determined
at the completion of the survey to go ahead with putting in the system, or
whether it is done later the survey will be made and ready for action and the
work will not have to be done over.
The health of a community cannot be counted in dollars and
cents, and no town can hope to grow that cannot offer a reasonable assurance to
those who would make it their home that the health of the community is being properly
cared for. At no time has the State paid so much attention as now to health,
and laws looking to conserving the health of the people in town and country are
finding their way to the statute books at each session of the State
Legislature.
Graham is as healthful, perhaps, more so, than the average
town, but that is not enough. It should, in justice to itself, stand in the
front ranks, and the expenditure of any sum that the community can bear without
being a burden is justifiable.
