tank is being erected. The water
has been analysed and is as pure
as any water in this country. The
enterprise is not intended for
profit, but is strictly cooperative
and each person who wants water
will be allowed to come in on
equal terms with all others. The
expense of operating the pump
will be quite small and will be
prorated among those who use
the water. In this way any per-
son can get water at actual cost
and no one will receive any profit.
S. L. McLaurin has the matter
in charge and any one wanting
to join in on equitable terms can
apply to him. There is an aban-
dance Of water and the more who
cooperate the cheaper it will be
for every one.
