Mayor P.H. Linville of Walnut Cove, who was a Danbury visitor Monday, stated that contract was let Friday for the installation of turbine water wheels and generators for Walnut Cove’s electric power and light plant on Dan River. The construction of the dam across the river has been under way for some months now.
The construction of a water and sewer system for Walnut Cove will also be rushed as rapidly as possible. At a meeting of the town commissioners recently a resolution was passed authorizing a bond issue of $50,000 for the construction of the water and sewer system. The sewer line is now being put down.
Mayor Linville stated that it had not yet been definitely decided from what source the town would secure water. It is stated that by bringing the water from Covington’s creek and installing a filtering plant a gravity system can be put in. The question of digging a number of large wells from which to get water is also being discussed.
