Judge Kills School Board Zone Plan
U S District Court Judge J Smith Henley struck down Little Rock School Board's revised attendance zone desegregation plan for not meeting federal guidelines.

Superintendent Floyd Parsons said an alternate plan would be prepared before the deadline. Henley said ruling in the Little Rock case may await Supreme Court guidance on a suitable school system.

Hope to Pay on Delivery Water Line Plan
The Hope Water and Light Commission asks the Southwest Arkansas Water District to study financing a Millwood Dam to Hope water line. A proposed Council plan would have the district finance the pipeline and pumping, with Hope paying for delivered water and the city building treatment and distribution within Hope. An engineering study estimated total costs near six million dollars, with revenue bonds and potential federal aid to cover half. Current water department revenue is about 130000 annually, implying steep rate increases to support debt and operating costs. Brown & Root will study costs and water delivery, with a Brown & Root report due in a few weeks, per George Peck president of the district.
