Smith in-Chapel Hill, N. C. at 7:30 P.M. on Monday, November 28, 1966. <br />Members Present: Chairman Harvey D. Sennett, Commissioners Gordon B. <br />Cleveland, William C. Ray, Caul M. Smith and Henry S. Walker. <br />Members Absent: None <br />Also present were Turner Forrest and Wiley Perry representatives of the <br />Orange-Alamance Water Systems, Inc. <br />Discussion ensued concerning complications which have arisen in the developme <br />of the Water Systems, Inc. Mr. Perry reported the Water Systems, Inc. had reduced <br />the size of its proposed lake, which was to have included one hundred acres, but <br />now estimated to include thirty-two acres. This was done in order to enable the <br />lake to be contained within boundaries exceptable to the adjoining land owners. D <br />to the fact that the Water Systems, Inc. lake will be smaller than the originally <br />planned lake both representatives expressed concern about the presence of the <br />proposed Lake Orange reservoir several miles above their proposed lake and <br />reservoir. Mr. Perry expressed the opinion that the Federal Home Administration <br />officials might view the Orange-Alamance Water Systems, Inc. project with more <br />favor if the Lake Orange project was in existence as the Water Systems, Inc. <br />need for a larger reservoir would be perhaps lessened. <br />The Board advised Mr. Forrest and Mr. Perry that they collectively and <br />individually were supporting the proposed Lake Orange project and the Water-Sewer <br />Bond election. They requested the assistance of Mr. Forrest and Mr. Perry in <br />helping to assist with the passage of said election. Both of the representatives <br />stated that they would do what they could to assist the project. <br />Further discussion ensued-concerning the promotion campaign pertaining to the <br />Water-Sewer Bond election.-- <br />There being no further business to come before the Board said meeting was <br />adjourned. <br />Harvey D.
