Layne Firm Abandons Shallow Well Effort for City
The Layne North Central company gave up seeking terms to supply city water from shallow wells. City commissioners learned the water supply should be adequate through winter due to a two foot rise in the James River from recent rains and snows. Park funding was debated with a proposed 25 percent cut from 1931 levels. Clarence G. Walker urged more than the tentative 50 budget, and the park board faces a $1,200 overdraft while preserving playgrounds and developments for next year.
