Two Excavations Made to
Meet Emergency Needs
OF Ell Centre Population

The city of Ell Centre will
prepare new storage basin
at its water plant to store
water sufficient to meet en-
ergencies that might arise,
Walter Heinecke, director of public
works, said Saturday.
Heinecke said the basin would
store seven and half million gal
Ions of water which would be am
pie to meet most emergencies. He
said the chief reason for making the
basin was to be certain of an ample
supply of water on days that the
canal that carries water into the
plant is cleaned.
PUMP INSTALLED
Another pump has also been in
stalled at the plant which will
serve to further eliminate danger of
water shortages, the public works
chief said.
The new storage basin is being
prepared with city employees and
city equipment is being used, Helm

completed by August 18. Heinecke
is also working on plans for still

A selective service directive placing

accused war manpower commission
chairman Paul V. McNutt OF in

lifting the prohibition against
drafting fathers.
The off-again- on-again aspects OF
the drafting of fathers issue had
even Washington confused yester-
day. Earlier this week McNutt an
