The city fathers of Waynesville ard Hardwood

from their midst into the cool of the night, while
they. with fevered brows labored on late into the
night trying to find ways to gather together few
coins with which TO pay engineer TO survey the
path for the sewer line.
/ And as the clock struck midnight the weary city
fathers wended their way homeward. praying that
the mighty PWA would return before long with
glad tidngs from the distant city where all seems

DAYS stretched into weeks. And weeks into
months. and even years passed and the city ia
theirs of the two communities looked longlngly for
the return of the knight of PWA, but alas, he did
not return.
A scribe sought. and an eplstle sent by
runner to the city of gold on the Potomac. But.

the burning question of the city fathers and he
returned home with head bowed, and wet with
sweat.

The mighty knight Of PWA, It's believed. had
