Oth er members and city employees present confirmed that the depos it could not be drawn on to pay the water bill unless the person owing the bill should more out of town and there was no other way of collecting. If the patron so desired he could draw the depos it and pay the bill but he could not have water until another de posit was payed.

With a few exceptions the potato crop in this community is probably one of the smallest in the history of this neighborhood. Most of the farmers have quit the potato business, at least in a large scale. Since 1925 prices have keen so low that it took a real manager to make both ends meet in the potato game and rather than to take another chance farm ers planted less potatoes. Now some of them will not have enough for their own use. Some have sold the few they had to spare early in the fall at two cents a pound. Others who have some to spare are holding for three cents per pound. Some will probably store a few until spring, expecting a high price.
