Alpine May Buy Cheap Water Mains From Federal Sale
Mayor W E Lockhart said Alpine could acquire about 27 108 feet of inch cast iron cement lined pipe for under 20 000. The federal government offers the pipe for 1 600 cash but Alpine must pay removal and transport costs. The line runs from San Felipe near Del Rio to Laughlin A F B over miles. City officials will inspect the pipe at Del Rio and seek bids for removal and transport to Alpine. A May meeting will decide whether to proceed.
