Council Considering
Winners Named
Increasing Supply
What to do about increasing the
city water supply is a matter that
is causing the city council a great deal
of thought.
The plan had been to install a pipe
line for a mile and a half, and an
engine, and pump water from the

the Myrtle Point highway beyond the

the accelerator instead of the brake

fered an injured wrist.
