The Opposition

able to provide these facilities and
fulfill ~ese promises which was
made.
As For the better water promises
we ,the opposition, say the water
company, regardless of whether it
be the present one, or the City of
Charles Town, is going to provide
water for the present users in
Charles Town and Ranson at an
increased rate. And the fact that
we are a pa~t of the munici'pality
of Charles Town is not going t~o
give ,as any reduced water rates
since all are going to have to pay
more in order to meet the obliger
ions of the bonds which will be
used to purchase the water com-
pany. As a matter of fact by brin~
ing these outlying areas into t, he
municipality it will only mean in
the near future that Charles Town
is going to have to spend more
money for a new or bigger water
supply since the present pne will
certainly not be large enough to
meet the demands. Especially will
this be true if the two race tracks
which they are so anxious to take
in.to the corporation, should de-
mand to be supplied with water.
This demand alone Would force
the Council to find another 150,-
000 gallons of w~ter per day tO
supply just one track.
As for sewerage, it 4s a known
fact that only about one-third of
Charles Town at present, has any
sewerage service and even with
this limited service the town can
not properly handle it's sewerage
i disposal problems. By adding an-
other 817.5 acres of land to the
~}ity, this would mean h,mdreds of
thousands of dollars more would
have to be spent to lay new sewer
and water lines, plus building a
seweraqe dis,po~'al plant which
could handle such a huge waste
load.
Turning tO s'treets, it is~now a
known fac,t tha't there is at pres-
ent about 5 miles of streets in the
areas which is being proposed for
inclusion in "Charles Town. This
does not take into consideration
any new streets that m~ght have
*o be built as the areas expands
further. At the present time mo~t
of these streets are maintained by
*,he S'tate Road Commi~ion. It is
the State Road Commission that
clears the snows from them in :the
Winter so tzaffic can move. How
could the Charles Town Council
afford to add such a heavy main-
ten,,nce and e~pansion burden to
their already limited street m~in-
ten,race budget.
It wmqd seem to us that the vr)t
ers in the areas be~n~ souuht by
Charles Town should examine M1
t~he facts .in this matter cgrefully
rather then accept a lot, of prom
ises which we doubt they c~,n
ever fulfill, or at least nc~t for
years to come.
