League
We’ve had a
interest in the
14
softball league this year. So
far, we have four (4) teams.
They are: The Baptist Men,
Geeslin Motors, The Good
Old Boys, and The Eagle
Off-Season.
We would still like to
have at least one or two
more teams in the league. If
there is a church group or
some other social group that
would like to play, contact

proposed rates.
Water connection fees
were also increased by the
council. Connections requir-

$275, up from $225; 1%
inch, $400, up from $350;
and 2 inch, $625, up from
$575.
The increase was brought
about by the overall state of
the water department,
which has showed a loss for
some time. A large and
efficient stock of supplies,
many new fire plugs and
several main line extensions
have been responsible for a
lot of the extra expenses.
The motion to raise the
