Water flow near Liano boosts city size estimates
Adjunct professor Joe Orr and students measured daily Liano river flow at about 32,600,000 gallons, enough for a city of 300,000, up from 6,000,000 last year. Orr cites reduced irrigation and stronger spring flow as causes, noting 1951 had 19,500,000 gallons daily. Franchise news covers vocational guidance talk and a labor survey offer from the Texas Employment Commission, plus local school updates and coaching hires.
