Mayor decries FHA loan to Berrendo Water Co op tragedy
Roswell mayor Jerry N. Smith says a 1.35 million dollar loan and 650 thousand dollar grant to the Berrendo Water Co op amount to a real tragedy for the city. He warns expansion risks chaotic growth and unsafe conditions. Cooperative president Raymond Pollard defends funds as boosting water rights and fire protection for Mountain View Middle School and Sunset Elementary School. The project includes 64 miles of mains and a 300000 gallon storage tank to meet EPA requirements.

KLM will repatriate its victims to The Netherlands. Investigators review cockpit tapes to determine why the KLM jet took off without clearance and whether Pan Am should have remained on the runway.
