TO INITIATE NEW
WATER DISTRICT
EXPECT BONDS APPROVED
City Council to Consider Petition for
District at Meeting Next
Tuesday Night.

Petition for creation of a new
waterworks improvement district, to
embrace the entire territory within the
corporate limits of Conway, will be
presented at the regular meeting of
the city council on Tuesday night.
William r. James, a member of the
councils light and water committee.
said today that the plan agreed upon
for creation of the new district has
been submitted to Rose, Cantrell,
Hemingway and Loughborough, Little
Rock bond attorneys, and they have
practically assured the committee that
the bond issue will be approved. In
this event, the council will then only
have to approve the petition and to
secure its signing by property own
,ers representing a majority in the
proposed district, the majority being
based upon property valuations and
not numbers.
The smooth sailing expected by the
council gives promise of relief to the
present water system, long needed
and approved by virtually all citizens
of the city. Formation of the new dis
trict, as already stated, will enable the
construction of settling basin to be
used in connection with the present
system, and will also enable the city
to extend its mains and to replace
wooden mains found defective.
1t is expected that the petition will
be approved by the unanimous vote of
the council, and it then will be submit
ted to property owners for their sig
nature. President Tom Davis of the
Conway Commercial Club was re-
quested today by members of the coun-
Gil to appoint a committee of citizens
to circulate the petition. This will be
done as soon as it is approved by the
council
Formation of the district has been
held up for some time, as no way
could be devised for creation of a new
district until the old one was dissolved
when payment was made on it's final
bond installment, which will be in
1922. A way around this difficulty has
been found, it is thought, and the
bond issue Of the new district would
be given the approval of the bond at
torneys, after which the issue would
be offered for SALE

Seventeen Drowned in Lake.

The greatest loss of life in any ac-
cident within memory on the inland
lakes OF. Maine, occurred on Passa-
dumkeag last Thursday, when
seventeen men were drowned. The
men were of party just engaged to
work for the Great Northern PAPER
Co, and were on their way up the
lake to camp in one of the company's
motor boats.
The boat caught fire, presumably
from back-firing of the engine, and
the gasoline made flaming torch
of it at once. Seventeen of the men
jumped overheard to escape the
flames, and soon sank. Fifteen
others on the boat lowered them
selves over the side into the water.
but still chung to the rail, and a
fortunate wind carried the boat to
shallow water before it sank. Most
of the men drowned were foreigners.
and several have not been identified.

as having said that, eol a man in mid

prolong his life But all disease is a
