City's Efforts Fall Short For Water Improvement Grant

Despite a plea by..the City Council to the South Plains Association of Govttnr'nent (SPAG) for a grant to tmproveh city water system, H~ Center was way down the list tO,r agrant.

The City Council ~6 among the 36 area towns asking for a grant. City fathers were asking for a grant in the amount of $250,000 for a new well and stand pipe storage facplly.

Of the ae Clt{es applying, Hale Centenanlutd 27, well out of the race f6r a grant. All the cities applylngtoSP.AG for a'Qrantwere asklf\9fqrUnpmvernents1orwater

and sewer improvements. Coming out on top were the

cities of New Deal, Hockley County, Slaton, Spur and Anton. New Deal posted a score of 331.714 compared to Hale Centefstotalof287.571. As many as 15 cities could receive help in the way of grants for improvements.

City fathers made a sound presentation to the SPAG board, stating that well production was do.wnandthatthedowntownwater tower needed to be replaced. The dQ.wntown abQve ground tower was built fn 1927.

Falling on deaf ears ofthe SPAG board, a question that appeared to be a determining factor in grading was the low water/sewer rates compared to other cities. Locally rates, $14 for residential minimums, are among the lowest if not the lowest of the area towns applying for the grants.

In reply to the question, Mayor Russell commented that 68 percent of the city pc)pulation was on fixed or low Income, and that the low rates were made avaiidbltt to keep the water and sewer charges from being a burden on

Navy scientists are working . on ways of changing the direction of storms to send them to the enfiJIY. .

But God has been using storms since the beginning. . One day. He said to Jonah. "Go to Nineveh.

"No, he answered,"l'm going to Tarshlst:~: Did he get there? No. No one can run away from God. .

Goc;isant a storm to stop him and a fish to swallow t:trrn . Than he went to Nineveh.

No (?il-lS Safe in his sinning. God's arsenal of wind and weather will be used to deal with the disobedl.ent..

When the Lqrd calls you, ob$y Him. It's dangerous to be .disobedient.
