At the Tuesday evening coun-
Gil meeting, Fred Bunch, ST.. in
formed the Mayor and council
men that they could anticipate
the organization of. group to
oppose dixie building. Opposi-
ton will be based, he said, on the
premise that residents of the
area to be affected by dixie con-
struction have never been given
any reliable information to guide
their investment policies.
Bunch stated that the only adj
vantage of a high dam as COM
pared with a lower dam is in the
generation of additional kilo-
watts of electrical power, and he
indicated that the resulting in
crease of losses to river front
property owners would not justi-
fly the additional power produc-
ed by the higher dam.
Councilman Paul Richmond
took issue with Bunch's state
ments, saying that competent en-
gineers have given the opinion
that the dam height will not af-
feet the water level in the Ken
neWick area.

great majority of citizens who
are complying with the request
to restrict sprinkling to the hours

PP&L personnel are working
without respite to augment the
supply of water, Oades Sloan,
company manager, said.
Tuesday evening water from
the K and p industries will be-
gan flowing into the lines. Actual
output of the supplementary
source has not yet been deter
mined.
Sloan, however, did not ex-
pect that lines would be carrying
more than two thirds of nor
NAL flow even with the supple
mentary supply made available
by julius NJ. BAIL, K and p head.
Sloan echoed Rector's admoni-
ton that complete cooperation
on the part of water users will
be necessary to permit continued
deliveries of well water to con-
sumers without the addition of
river water.

ruling applies to them, even
though their homes are actually
standing on high and dry

In view of the health and sani-

wise for such owners to be per-

when they must reach them by
boat or by wading through the
flood, Rector continued.
He expressed, however, the
eagerness Of flood control author
