"Our first problem is assuring a

cilmen said in ordering 100000
gallon reservoir, $500 feet of new
pipe line and additional pumping
facilities.
Estimates were rushed Tuesday

needed to furnish proposed stor-
age and pumping facilities. The
PWA will be asked to furnish As
per cent of the cost.

Forbes, city recorder and DR.. j. c.
Budik, councilman, are in Omaha

A. Radford, PWA executive, on
the city's application for funds
for constructing the reservoir.
The council found no errors in
the officials count of ballots on
the softening issue.
The margin was SGT opposed

heaviest, ia favoring the pro-
position and 295 opposed while

PRICE FOR PEACE
AT CONFERENCE
Bu Associated Press

Czechoslovakia's anger over the
imminent loss of her Sudeten
areas moved her today toward
formation of a strong military
government while Neville Cham
berlain and Adolf Hitler met on
the Rhine to seal the bargain for
which Prague's loss is the price.
General Jan Syrocy, 50-year-old
inspector general Of the army, en-
erged as the almost certain head
of a new regime in Prague.
Meanwhile the Czechoslovak
army continues in a state of pre-
paredneSS.
The prime minister of Britain
and the German fuehrer met in
their second fateful conference
within a week at Godesberg.
Chamberlain was represented
as hopeful of a peaceful general
European settlement but there
were ominous reports the Ger
man leader, flushed with the
greatest diplomatic victory of his
career, had raised his price for
peace.

the primary concern of Redwood
