An aggressive vote drive and

The Ministers and the Civic Or

push voter registration, make an
attempt to get voters to the polls,
and succeed in their goal to get
something done about bad water
service on East Broadway.

ed to know that the groups
have retained an attorney to
represent u.s." a spokesman
for the group said. eve be-
Iieve he will file suit against
the East Broadway Water Com
pany.''
Two groups are putting forth eff
fort. One is to get better water,
and they are pushing the vote
drive. The other is working close
ly with attorneys. to gather ma
terial for the water suit.
The vote drive is directed at
Corporation Commission Chairman
Eddie Williams. who is up for re-
election this fall. So far his office
has refused to take action in re-
CARDS to the water issue. The
legal move is. directed against the
: East Broadway Water Co.
Both moves will definately pro-
duce results" Bev Allbrittion and
Mrs. Marie Ogletree, said.
The East Broadway precinct
represents 500 water users, with
a possible $500 voters. The group
is making every effort to get every
person registered, and means will
be worked out to get them to the
polls.
East Broadway residents are
eat their limits over the sad
condition of the water. Because
the pleas of the users of the water
never got any further than the
water company office, the bad
water continued to exist. Residents
complain they've been subjected
to everything from bad water to
no water. AS a result, the group
is taking positive action.
