for I have not been well.
I want you to know they fi
nally got me to Atlanta, Emory
University Hospital . . . and
you know what a Jonah I am
... I always get into some
kind of trouble . . . like getting
locked up in the bathroom at
the Biltmore in Atlanta at a
convention . . . Well this time
they were going to operate on
me. T went up on Monday . . .
and you know how it is, you
just know you are going to
get well but you sorter wonder
if this is your last ride. Like
the time my dentist here told
me my wisdom tooth had it’s
roots wound around the jaw
bone, and I'd have to go to a
surgeon in Atlanta to get it
out. Well he made no appoint
ments . . . you just have to go
and sit there and absolutely
have nightmares about how its
gonner hurt , . maybe three
hours before he gets you in
there and you don’t even feel
it when it comes out. Anyway,

NUMBER 36
Nine hundred and forty-nine
voted for the gas revenue cer
tificates and only 19 votes weie
recorded against the extensions
and improvements to the city
natural gas system. Five bal
lots were voided because of im
proper marking.
The city voter registration
list had a total of 1,763 who
were eligible to cast their bal
lot in the election. A vote of
882 was required so that the
certificates may be validated.
Covington City Officials have
announced that work will be
started on the gas mains ex
tension just as soon as possi
ble.
It was pointed out by City
officials that the SIOO,OOO
revenue certificates would en
able the City Gas system to in
stall a high pressure gas trans
mission line from the Town
Border Station into Covington.
This main is needed to balance
pressure in certain areas if the
city especially in the eastern
sector for both residences and
businesses.
The number of gas custo
mers in Covington has grown
more than anticipated, accord
ing to records at City Half.
During the past three years
the number of gas consumers
has risen from 1.553 in August
1959 to 1.919 in August of
l n 6l.
Industrial consum p ti o n of
natural gas will be more in
demand in the future as many
of the large manufacturing
concerns require that an am
ple supnly be available be'ore
their industries move to a
county or city.
