Town To Vote On City Lake In Herington Kansas
Herington residents will vote on September 4 on a 1.2 million bond plan to fund a 1107 acre multi purpose lake complex three miles west of the town. The issue would raise taxes by about 15 percent and add a city levy of 17 mills. Proponents say the existing city lake from 1924 is silted and low in droughts, and the new lake would be the main water supply for the 3,800 resident town.
