AxARlLLo's ONE HANDICAP.

Despite her pronounced AMI generally recog.

marked water shortage. is fatal weakness. aud
one which il no, overcome mus: put her out u

to che entire population.
With plentiful water iu?ily. smlrlo will c,n-

cend newer heights OF Importance to the general

ship must pass into other hands. regardless OF all

Z Time has past for temporizing in connection
with the water supply for Amarillo. Constructive
thought and planning. with an adequately sup
ported program. is the one outstanding demand.
As important as other matters for the general
good Ray be. and there are many worthy OF at
