City Fails To Issue Order for Summer Water Rate
Amarillo will have no special irrigation rate this summer as the city commission declined to issue the order.

One Dead As Floods Swirl In Nebraska
The Associated Press reports spring floods spread to southeastern Nebraska with at least one drowning in Syracuse and many missing. Torrential rains up to six inches caused rivers from Auburn to Lincoln to flood. Lincoln suffered the region’s worst flood since 1908 as President Truman passed through on a western trip. Reports of a car containing five swept away near Auburn and a bus with nine passengers missing near Syracuse circulated amid homes swept away and many refuges found in trees. Elsewhere, Minnesota and North Dakota faced rising floodwaters, displacing thousands.
