Sparta seeks 921000 from ARA for regional water system
Sparta City Council approved an ARA loan or grant request for the first stage of a regional water supply. The plan funds a 1-inch line from the Chester plant to Sparta and a line to Steeleville, with water shared to serve 10 towns. The Chester plant has capacity for three million gallons daily but currently uses about 300,000, and the region was developed by Lithana Engineers under ARA assistance. Townsend said the water shortage threatens local industry and 296 potential jobs, with payroll impact of about 5.07 million annually.

Murphysboro Plans New High School Site Urged
John Palen of the Southern Telengisian reports Greater Egypt Regional Planning Commission urges replacement of Murphysboro Township High School with a new 1040 700 enrollment capacity facility near the northwest city limits. The current landlocked Spruce area campus is crowded, with 750 enrollment last year, and expansion is deemed impractical. The plan envisions a multi-site educational complex including a new high school, expanded Carruthers Junior High, a North School adjacent to Carruthers, and rerouted routes to improve access while preserving neighborhood parks and future expansion space.
