Retain Individuality
Jacksonville last summer inado

nnd now acts upon establishing Its
own supply. Maddox told the coun
ty court that, Inasmuch as there
was opposition to the plan to se
cure the Modford wator "at a high
cost, Jacksonville citizens decided
they would retain their clvid Indi
viduality without paying the price
of annexation."
Maddox told tho court that the
I present supply was Inndoouate and
not of n hi Mi tHiwlunl ami ilia l
, by securing the watershed mid by
cleaning u up iney wouiu no aoio
to moot present and future wator
noeds.
Tho creeks will bo tapped at a
