When economic upsets cause prices to rise,
customers of the Texas Power & Light Com-

budget of living expenses. Through years

A group of Anna taxpayers at-
tended a meeting, called by Mayor L.
H. Goforth for discussion of improv-
ing the water supply. Present equip-
ment is insufficient to keep an ade-
quate supply of water in the over-
head tank and pressure was very low
in some sections of town Wednesday,
it was reported.
Mr. Goforth said the cause was a
50-foot drop in the water level of the
Woodbine sand, leaving the water
lower than can be lifted fast enough
by the present pump.
The meeting approved plans to buy
a. new pump with ability to pump
water from the lower level. If that
method does not prove satisfactory, it
may be necessary to drill a new well,
Mr. Goforth said. Plans are to buy
the pump by issuing warrants but if
a new well is necessary, a bond issue
will likely be submitted to the voters.

drouth.

Leon Howard attended the Collin
County Fair at McKinney Tuesday.
He says the showing of livestock is
much better than usual. Leon is one

attracts him like a showing of the
season’s new hats attracts women.

of support, returned to the county
farm Wednesday after spending some
