Lexington has
water problems
Lexington's new water sys
tem may be financed by a
bond issue to be paid off by
charges to w ater users.
This and other financing
possibilities were discussed at
a recent informal meeting at
which the public was invited to
give their views on how to pay
the estimated $195,000 water
system bill.
The present system has
been under remodeling for the
past year and half and the
new city well was completed
last month. The new well has
been reported as capable of
pumping 177 gallons per
minute.
The water system calls for a
new reservoir, supply line,
and repairs to the present
water distribution system
County to
subsidize
doctor
Further action was taken by
the County Court at Thurs
day's budget committee
hearing to use revenue star
ring money to assist a doctor if
a new one would practice in
the community.
An additional $5,000 has
been set aside to subsidize the
rental of a mobile unit for a
year or two, which could be
used as an office by a doctor.
Judge Paul Jones said this
was done because many
doctors beginning a practice
do not have finances to set up
a clinic.
Jones further said the unit
would probably be located
near the hospital so the
laboratory facilities at the
hospital could be used by the
doctor.
At an earlier meeting
$25,000 of revenue sharing
funds were designated to
underwrite a doctor's salary
for one year,

Lexington Mayor Gene
Orwick said that work on the
new system will be set back
due to recent problems which
have arisen over the city well
pump. The pump burned out
last week and replacement
problems have plagued the
city. Apparently, the city will
have to have the replacement
pump sent to Iowa and
resumption of normal pump
ing will probably be started
Monday or Tuesday.
Financing of the new system
and the damaged pump will
have to come out of the city
budget as Revenue Sharing
Funds of $907 are already
earmarked for public safety.
The public safety classifica
tion is for the updating of the
city's fire fighting equipment.
In reference to the water
problems Mayor Orwick said,
'"It looks like we're not
through with this thing yet;
we're about three to six
months from completing the
project."
