Jenkins said that the con-
struction of the new lines into
the Gober-Hale area had been
completed and the task of cut-
ting old subscribers over to the
new line and adding new sub-
scribers was underway.
The new lines — mostly bur-

improved service to all sub-

Flood Attention
On Bois d' Arc
Federal attention to badly-
needed control of flood waters
in the 330,000-acre Bois d’ Arc
creek basin in Fannin county
must await the clearing of ease-
ment rights in the Caney creek
project, a Soil Conservation
service official told a group of
local people Thursday morning.
John Arnn, area conservation-
ist for SCS here to meet with of-
ficials of the upper and lower

interested persons, said he felt
he would be unfair to say any
tangible progress would be made
on Bois d’ Arc until the Caney

distance of the highway and is

The Ivanhoe project will be
completed during the. first quar-
ter of 1965, the Bailey project
by the second quarter of 1965,
Jenkins said.
Work on the projects in the

flood control project easements
for 15 retention; dams are, ob-
tained or acceptable assurances
given that they would be cleared
up within a reasonable time.
He indicated "acceptable as.
surances" meant assurances
from some source with money
available for obtaining the ease-
ments through condemnation, if
necessary. The Caney Water
Improvement district has emin-
ent domain rights but lacks, the
funds for condemnation costs.
Arnn said the commissioners
court in some counties had as-
sumed the responsibility of ob-
taining easements through em-
inent domain procedures and
that such assurances have been
considered acceptable. He said
assurances would be needed on
four or more of the sites a year.
Landowners in the Caney dis-
trict turned down a bond issue
about a year ago that would
have provided funds for obtain-
ing the easements.
Easements clearing up two of
the retention dam sites on Caney
have been obtained, seven others
lack only on signature, the oth-
ers lack from two to five signa-
tures. .
Arnn said much progress has
been made on the project in the
last few months.
Because the Bois d‘ Arc proj-
ect does have possible multiple-
purpose objectives, such as pro-
viding a possible municipal wa-
ter supply and the alleviating of
a flooding condition to South
a flooding coendition to south
Bonham property, including Red
River Textile Mills, by waters
backing up in Powder creek, the
project might gain favorable at-
tention in the establishment of
federal engineering - priorities,
Arnn said.
"Once Caney is out of the
way," he said, “you would
have a good chance with
this multiple purpose; project
on Bois d’ Arc." .

These new rates were develop-

"A personal letter will be
mailed to every rural subscrib-
