False Arrest Bid Rejected In The Pas Case
John Vincent Blanchard failed to collect damages for false arrest in The Pas. Justice Hall’s decision is on page 9 of this week’s Herald. The Sus report urges combining studies with The Pas Urban Renewal study to plan future needs, including water supply studies and possible drilling for underground water at 140 feet to access pressurized water near The Pas. Test borings showed water under pressure within six feet of the surface, with river drilling raising water 6 feet above ice. The report weighs using Clearwater Lake or the Illinois River as sources, but emphasizes a town water study before any new development. Continues on page 10.
