Sl5,o00 Tied Up in Material,
And no Water Supply Yet

The Imperial refinery has tied NJ
$l5,0O0 in pipe, boiler and PUMPING
machinery, in an attempt to get :
supply OF water IRON Caddo creek
and when the pump was put in OPP
Grafton, the supply cf water was eX-
haustcd in iour days, by three re-
iinerieS.
Now these refineries have gone
back to the Chickasaw lake, where
it is expected the supply OF water
will last about thirty days.
The line to Caddo creek will be
kept IN anticipation OF the fall rains
putting supply OF water in that
creek, but this does not appear to be
a dependable source. and the reiin-
cries are combating 4 serious prob
lem in their effort to secure enough
water to keep the plants going.
There seems TO be no hope OF assist
ance from the city.
