Reduction in the service and the efficiency was ' made necessary, it was stated, because of the failure ot water users to pay their assessments which were at a low level. He gave as causes' for this condition the state of the times and the drouth, it was felt that heavy winter rains and the return of rosier financial daye would alter ' this situation. - i" -' Merger Impractical. ; , A rural proposal advanced some time, ago to combine the water mas ter's and oounty engineer's depart ment was deemed impractical.
