City faces dire water shortages as drought looms
Water Superintendent James Rawlinson warned that without natural relief, the city would run dry within a year. Lake Mary, the main source, could be exhausted by fall 1971, forcing reliance on uncertain Inney Basin, Woody Mountain Well Field, and Lake Mary Weil Field. Discussions covered effluent reclamation, high costs, and Wilkins Dam as a long term option with federal priority concerns.

High Court Backs Busing Desegregation Ruling
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that federal courts may order busing to desegregate public schools while not all districts must use fixed racial ratios. Chief Justice Burger stressed that desegregation does not require every school to mirror the system’s overall composition, though limited ratio use is permitted in Charlotte and other cases. The decision upholds state limits only when they obstruct unitary, desegregated systems.
