Their notice the churches, schools, clubs

ton has been growing so rapidly IN

The city council is continuing its
investigation of the water situation.
The supply is reported to be down to
an absolute minimum and the Aqua
Pura company, which supplies water,
is asking every patron to be as sparlng

franchise which are said to have been
ignored or neglected. Talk of public
ownership of the water supply is
growing.
