City May Go Ahead With Water Main Job
The city may still accept a PWA grant and loan for water main extensions after the failed 140000 bond issue. A letter from PWA engineer P F Hopkins suggests issuing revenue bonds without an election, with 42000 already assured and city water earnings covering the rest. Burgus will consult with city solicitor Harry S Johnson before deciding. Construction would provide unemployment relief for a year and improve fire protection in four areas.
