Chairman W. H. Sartor
Gives Facts Concerning
City Water and Light
Plant ? Progress and
Development o f These
Properties Stated in Full.
As the citizens and taxpayers of
UNION will have the opportunity to
vntn nn tha nnoctinn nf iccnincr twontv
five thousand dollars of bonds on February
16th for the purpose of increasing
the water supply for our city, 1
feel that it will not be out of place
for mo, as a member of the board of
Public Works Commissioners since
the foundation of the plant, and a.i
chairman of this board for the last
eight years, to give the citizens of
Union some facts concerning its
growth and its physical and financial
condition.
The consumption of water in the
period of the last four years has
increased from 180,000 to 100,000 gallons
per day. While the present supply
may have been sufficient four
years ago, you can readily see how it
might be entirely inadequate today
As a matter of fact, this large and
gratifying increase has brought u?
face to face with a crisis, and prompt
and decisive action is imperative in
order to avoid possible calamity,
Another summer without larger water
supply may mean not only destruction
and ruin to your property
on account of inability to give fm
protection, but typhoid fever am
other malignant diseases as a con
sequence of drinking impure water
I am reminded of what Grovcr Cleveland
said while president, when i
question vitally affecting the interest;
of the people was being considered
When I reflect on our conditior
with reference to our water supply
Tl- Ktil- n ??Aolit\r fliol

is confronting us, were his words
If the matter of increasing our watei
supply and that before another sum
mer is upon us, is not a stern anc
pressing reality, I should like to hav<
a genuine reality pointed out to me
I think I hear some one say that h<
Is opposed to voting bonds for an:
purpose, and I will state that I toi
am; opposed to bonding ourselve:
except for imperative public need:
that cannot be provided for in an1
other feasible manner. In the las
three years the Public Works Com
mi'ssioners, with the aid and cooper
ation of your faithful and efficien
superintendent, has reduced the cos
of lights to the consumers thirty
three and one-third per cent, in thi
face of the loss of revenue from tin
city for lights and water (which ha
heretofore amounted to $3,000.00 pe
year) at the same time increasinj
the capacity and efficiency of t':>
plant very materially. While 1 hav<
not gone into a detailed investigatioi
of the matter, I dare say that th
savings thus affected, will amoun
to far more to each consumer thai
the increase in his or her taxes a
a result of this bond issue. Whil
on this question of cost, I will mak
the statement, without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that there is no
a city within the borders of our stat
whose citizens are taxed less for th
maintenance and support of its plan
than are you people of Union. Fo
your information, I will give yo
some comparisons with other citie
that you can easily verify. For hi
stance, Rock Hill, a city of approxi
matelv the size and rank of Unioi
(although they think they are muc!
larger). Their plant as it stands to
day, cost them around ?400,000.0(
Our plant, including this issue o
25,000 bonds now asked for, wil
stand us about $90,000. Our plan
while costing less than one-fourt
that of Rock Hill, is as large, we
equipped and the equal in every re
spect. Comparisons, equally advan
tageous to our plant, can be mad
with Orangeburg, Florence, and nu
merous other cities in the state, c
our size and rank. I am proud o
our plant and the wonderful progres
it has made, and I believe tnat
fair and intelligent investigation b
any citizen, having the interest c
our plant and the welfare of on
city at heart, will inspire such sei
timents of pride in his breas
We invite your earnest investigatioi
We do not ask you to vote blindb
but we do ask that you look into th
matter so that you can vote intell
gently, with a full knowledge of a
the issues involved and not misled b
selfish or ingnorant objections thf
you may hear.
In conclusion, I will state that
have served you faithfully and hoi
estly to the very best of my abilit;
without pay or hope of reward i
any manner whatsoever, since th
foundation of the plant. My sei
vices have been as freely given a
though paid a handsome salary,

To Confer With Unio*
County Delegation Upon \
Proposed Dill Calling For
Election Upon Bond Issue
For Permanent High'l
ways in Union County.
n
A representative body of Union
e county citizens met in the courthouse
I. here Saturday at noon to discuss
plans for improving the roads of the
county.
The object of the meeting was
e stated by secretary A. G. Kennedy.
5' Hon. L. J. Browning was made chair3
man of the meeting. After remarks
by L. E. Boykin, government expert
in the construction of public roads,
s and brief statements from a number
I of citizens present, it was unanimously
voted that a committee be
II appointed to go as early as possible
to Columbia to confer with the county
delegation there and with their con11
sent and cooperation, to get through
c> a bill allowing the people of Union
1 county to vote "yes" or "no" upon
! the question of issuing $200,000 dol1
lars worth of bonds for the construction
and maintenance of permanent
' roads in the county.
The committee appointed to carry
out this plan was: Emslie Nicholson,
chairman; L. J. Browning, .1. T. .Jeter,
W. M. Jones and I?. W. Whitlock.
This commit' e held a conference
r and later went to Columbia where
e they consulted with the county delen
gates. A full, frank discussion was
h entered into by the committee and
s the delegation and, with suggestions
,v made by the delegation, the commitn
tee drew up a bill which was >?ii v,
d mitted to the delegation for their
i- approval.
The matter was taken under furr
ther advisement by the committee and
0 by the delegation, and before subd
mitting any measure to the legislan
ture, further improvements may be
made upon the measure. This is tho
;. present status of the mater. The
1 work must be hastened if anything is
