F'inal action will come next Tuesday. i EXPLAINING the move, H. En- :re Loop, commissioner of public works, said, "There is an, $180,000 honded indebtedness against the city water fund which has to be paid, with interest, in the next ten ...... years. "A total of $18,000 must be re- deemed each year. Water reve- nues cach year approximate $5(},000, and expenditures are $40,000, which leaves only about $10,000. "We've got to canserve in every way possible," Loop added. FOR RESIDENTS within the , city limits, however, an extra charge is made for sprinkling pure poses. Loop commented that the water fund is not supported by taxes but by direct payment by those getting water. E. E. Brewer, water superin- tend(:nt, reported that the city is now pumping water to Anglesid Addition in a 12-inch tube. The next council meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the city hall.
