An ample supply # good water will
be assured at the grade school when
the worlmen finish the new five foot
concrete well there this week. The
water had begun to taste in the old
wood curbed well so the directors de-
cided to build new one and to have
t concerted. This new well will also
furnish irrigation water during the
.un,rner months for the lawn and trees.
Edmund Anderson, who again has
the contract for transporting the chill
dren to and from both the grade
and high schools, will have two large
buses in service this year. He has
divided the territory into two routes
and will use the big bus on the north
route and the new bus, almost as
large on the south route. The body
for the new bus was purchased in
Yakima, where it formerly did ser
vice on a stage route. 1t was
brought to White Bluffs and mount
cd on new Ford chassis at the
White Bluffs Motor Company.
With these two large buses, Mr..
Anderson should experience little
difficulty in transporting the children
without undue crowding.
