Water From Horse Creek and City Levy Set at 23 Mills
The Rocky Ford city council held a special meeting to discuss a Horse Creek water project proposed by Judge Patrick and Col. Jack Faw. Patrick deeds water rights to a charter company for several towns, with a proposed cost of 300000 to 800000 dollars. A three-man Rocky Ford committee helped form a consortium with other towns to evaluate the venture, while The Arkansas Valley Water Supply Co. is already organized. The council also set next year’s tax levy at 23 mills, down from previous years, urging prudent public spending.
