Near Neighbors Colar City council acts early in the week to ease a water shortage. Engineer Arthur R. Fife says Cluff spring yields only .87 of a second foot instead of the two feet entitled. Four crewmen were sent up the canyon to push water into the system and a lawn sprinkling regulation divides the city into four districts with one hour daily per district. Citizens urged to cooperate amid the emergency.
