Zoo Water, Sewer Lines Would Make Money Sixth Year BY STEVE BERRY Daily News Randolph Bureau ASHEBORO State zoo promoters said Tuesday that water and sewer lines to Purgatory Mountain to serve the proposed state zoo will begin returning money to Randolph County six years after construction begins.

McIntosh, and zoo society and authority officials and committee members. The general obligation bond issue will finance water and sewer lines from the Asheboro city limits to the zoo site.

Randolph County commissioners requested the referendum last year following an agreement with the N.C. Zoo Authority to provide water service to the zoo site. THE BONDS would be paid back over a period of 20 to 22 years. A total of $1.4 million would be used for sewer line and two pumping stations and $400,500 for a 16-inch water line.

Kivett, who asked for a state inspection of the county jails last December after the grand jury reported "deplorable" conditions in them, has commended the county commissioners for taking remedial steps. Judge Kivett wrote, Commission Chairman Dale Montgomery and Solicitor Douglas Alright to report on the corrective measures taken by the county. "I want to report that Mr. Wiley Teal, a state jail inspector, has inspected the jails and informed me that the jails seemed to be in reasonably good condition and that certain changes have been made and others are in the process of being changed," Judge Kivett stated. "I feel the county has made a diligent effort to comply with the requests made by the grand jury and simply wanted to bring this to your attention," the letter stated.

MOST OF THE changes recommended by the grand jury dealt with the sanitary conditions and the walls of the jails. George Seay, community relations director for the county, said ass bottomed metal bunks the City Hall jail have can rubber mattresses, and received, has been repainted. The courthouse jail walls were reported as being patched and replastered and will be painted later. Plumbing in both jails has been repaired, Seay said. He noted that a new monthly inspection system is being made and reports filed with County Manager John Witherspoon.

water and sewer lines would immediately provide water service to homes and businesses along the area of construction. In addition, the lines would be so constructed that other lines could be hooked onto them, thus opening up an area in eastern Randolph County about three times the size of Asheboro to water and sewer service. Zoo officials said all water revenues and tie-on fees would be used to pay the bond obligation. It was pointed out that in the fifth year after construction begins, the annual payment on the bonds and the net water revenues to the county should be about the same. The extra money would come in during the sixth year, when the amount of bond payments would begin to decrease and when the net revenue should rise as the area develops and more tie-ons are made.

In a prepared statement, Kiser pointed out that it is "quite possible for the sale of water to provide funds to liquidate the bond of over a 20-year maturity." He said that if no additional revenue is generated the maximum cost to Randolph County taxpayers would be only $.03 per $100 valuation. AT THIS rate, he said, $10,000 worth of property would only be taxed an additional $1.50 per year. During the question and answer period, Wescott Moser, vice president the N.C. Zoological Scoeity, said the attitude of the county toward the zoo "seemed to be fairly positive." Peter Crolius, executive manager of the N.C. Zoo Authority, added that the authority and society have not received any letters expressing opposition to the zoo.

The purpose of the voter information committee is to urge Randolph County citizens to vote for the bond issue by giving voters all the facts about the water and sewer lines. Members of the committee include Kiser, W. W. Stanfield of Asheboro, Joe Delk, William W. Ivey of Asheboro, Mrs.

Alice Hammond and Walter Cotton. that the proposed N.C. Zoological Gardens in Randolph County will receive one of the two panda bears to be presented to the United States by China. Crolius made the statement here in answer to reporters' questions during a press luncheon of the voter information committee of the Randolph County Zoological Society. He said 115 established zoos have made requests for a panda bear, and "We don't even have a zoo established yet." He said, "We must remember this (the panda bears) was an international and political gift from the Peoples Republic of China to the people of the United States.

In that the gift was a benefit to the United States, it is a benefit to us." The panda bear is a rare animal. Only a few outside China are in captivity. When Nixon announced his China plans a flood of requsts for a panda bear came from zoos all over the nation. RALPH J.

drawn into a world of fantasy, indictated by your words, "Nothing seems real to and, "Everyone dislikes me." A psychologist might tell you that this is caused by feelings of guilt, and I would agree. How do you know everyone dislikes you? And why do you always lie? It appears that because of your lying you feel guilty and unworthy, and have dreamed up the illusion that no one likes you. If it is true that "no one likes you," it is probably because you do not like yourself. The Bible says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Lying, in the normal person, creates a sense of guilt, and this often causes self-loathing. What is the cure? Christ forgave people who had committed all kinds of sins, including the sin of lying.

You need to know that God loves you in spite of your lying, and open your heart to His love and forgiveness. This brings peace, and new self-esteem. The fact that Christ died for our sins, and. that God loves us so much He gave His Son to bring forgiveness, shows our worth in the eyes of God.
