escaped the suburban boom until
now, but the homes won’t be long
in coming now that piped water
is due after the first of the year.
Sipe said he knows of a number
of recent land transactions that
will ultimately lead to new sub­
divisions.
The district covers about eight
square miles, about half of it Is
on the north side of Highway 212
and half on the south side. The
east limit is Hogan road, the west
end is at Lehman road and on the
north side it reaches toBohnapark
rd. The south limit is a line
parallel to Highway 212 but a mile
south.
Most of the district is in Dam­
ascus school district but It spills
over into Barton, Carver, Pleas­
ant Valley and several other school
districts.
"We’ll have 20 miles of slx-
and - eight inch water mains in
the ground," Sipe said. "Arndt-

And land Is changing hands ab­

These are the signs of change
in Damascus as the Damascus

Vic Sipe, part-time chairman of
the water board and full-
time farmer, dropped by the Out­
look office the other day to give
a report on the project.
"This is a good-sized project
for a small area.” Sipe began.
“We’re paying for this with a
$398,000 bond issue, a fair am­
ount of money for a district with
about 200 families In it.”
