The November issue of
"Peachtree Parade," a publi
cation concerning antique au
tomobiles and their owners, gave
much space to the club’s visit
to Covington during the Open
House at the First Citizens Bank
on US Highway 278.
The article stated:
"We haven’t figured out yet who
had the most fun at the First Ci
tizens Bank Fair at Covington on
Saturday, November 2nd, the me
mbers, our children or the citi
zens of Covington!
"Twenty-one cars journeyed to
Covington on this beautiful after
noon to participate in this cele
bration at member Bennett Col
lett’s bank. When we rolled in
we were warmly greeted by Ben
nett, his lovely wife, Doris, son
Bennett, Jr. and Bank Manager,
Don Philan. Adding to the display
of cars was Bennett’s most unus
ual 1933 Buick Limousine (more
about this car later.)
"We don’t know when we’ve had
so much fun. . real carnival
like atmosphere prevailed. . .
there were free hot dogs, drinks,
pins for the ladies, pony rides
for the children and Hugh Starr’s
Band Organ playing a steady st
ream of gay music. We paraded
in groups around the town square
and then were led by the police

CURRENT CITY PROJECTS,

INTRODUCTION
In the two previous newslet
ters, we briefly discussed the
major expansion work underway
In your City’s electrical and na
tural gas sytems. We attempted
to answer such questions as;
what are these Improvements?;
where are they being done?; How
much are they costing?; What will
be the benefits to us when they
are completed? In this news
letter we will answer these ques
tions about the expansion work
In your City’s water system.
WATER SYSTEM
Covington is a growing City.
When we look around we see
evidence of growth in all of our
resources. New homes, new and
expanding industry and business,
new housing developments-these
are the outward signs of growth.
Growth also increases the de
mands for public services. One
of your City’s basic public ser-
vices that has felt these increas
ed demands is the water system.
YESTERDAY
There was a time when your
City government could supply the
demand for water directly from a
local creek. A single pump loca
ted West of Elm Street near the
present Highway 278 transfer
red water from Dried Indian
Creek to the Old City water plant
and storage reservoir. The lat
ter facilities are being used today
as a City garage and the wall of
the storage reservoir can be seen
adjacent to the City garage. As
the demand for water increased,
new facilities were required. At
that time the City constructed the
present water treatment plant
on the Northeast corner of Elm
and Williams Street, changed its
primary water source to the Al
covy River, formed a fifty (50)
acre lake north of Covington to
provide water storage area to
meet future demands. later, the
water treatment plant was expan
ded and an additional water sto
rage reservoir was added be
hind and north of the water treat
ment plant.
TODAY
Present demands for water
were getting closer to the City’s
capacity. Clearly, additional ex
pansion of the City’s water sys
tem was needed.
Your Mayor and City Council
responded and authorized an in
crease in the pumping capacity
of the City’s water supply sys
tem. These changes which are
nearing completion consist of;
(a) Installing an additional pump
on Alcovy river to supply more
water to the City’s fifty (50)
acre storage lake; and (b) Install
a pump at the storage lake to
speed-up the flow of water from
the lake to the City’s water treat
ment plant. These changes, which
cost approximately $30,000.00
should enable your City govern
ment to adequately meet present
demands.

One of the fastest and simplest
fire rigs for cooking outdoors can

perimeter the size of the pan you
Intend to use. Build a small fire
underneath the pan, say the Mer

and you’re in business. ; ।
