ABILENE'S WATER SUPPLY

Abilene municipal authorities have
provided for a bountiful supply Of
water and the mayor of that city has
concluded that it would be better for
the people to raise money to pay
for the improvements by general tax
methods and to turn the water loose
and allow the people to use it witA-
out cost. The mayor gives as his
reasons that the people could irri-
gate their gardens. that they could
produce a bountiful supply Of veget-
ables and flowers and could make Alb
ilene into a more beautiful city: The
wonder attached to the situation
is that any town of West Texas could
make itself believe that it has such
an inexhaustible supply of water It
has not been a very long period
since there was not enough water in
radius of 100 miles to sprout one
black-eyed pea in that land of the
cacti and trackless prairles.
