District 21 Eyeing River Haven Basin Service Extension
Floyd McCormick pressed the board to extend District 21 utilities to River Haven Basin residents outside the district. If homeowners cover installation costs and guarantee one year, lines would be installed to District 21 specs and then become district property. A legal description of roads is needed to determine ownership and easements. Alternates Bob Bass and C. C. Miles were named for board of equalization. Dee Yowell was hired to trench and backfill ditches to run an eight inch line on Dell dale Street near the Second Baptist Church.
