Temple makes stock offer
Face 'water crisis'
DIBOLL - Temple-Inland
Inc. announced Friday that
Water poses problem for Shepherd
SHEPHERD - Officials
from the City of Shepherd
left for Austin Wednesday
seeking alternative ways of
funding water for Shepherd.
According to city council
members, Shepherd could be
faced with a “water crisis”
if the current situation is not
corrected.
During a special meeting
last Monday Shepherd
Mayor Victor Schrubb said,
“We are between a rock and
a hard spot. If we don’t act in
a go-ahead motion to secure
another water well we are
going to have people really
mad at us this summer when
they don’t have any water at
.ad-
According to Schrubb, the
city has one well in “good
working order” now.
However, according to coun-
cilman Tommy Everitt, the
one well Schrubb says is in
good working order is con-
taminated with refined oil.
“If something more hap-
pens to this well everyone in
Shepherd will be without
water,” Schrubb said.
The City owns two wells.
One, however, has sand in it
and now apparently the
other has oil, according to
the council.
Trying to find a solution
for the City’s dilemma, coun-
cil members voted to at-
tempt funding $650,000
through-bonds. This amount
is nepded.'toassure water for
future' use, according to
council members. The

In the spring of 1980,
the port at Mariel Harbor
was opened, and thousands
set sail for the United States
They came in search
of the American Dream.
One of them found it on the
sun-washed avenues of
Miami... wealth, power and
passion beyond
his wildest dreams.
He was Tony Montana.
The world will remember
him by another name
...SCARFACE.
He loved the American Dream.
With a vengeance.

'‘Scarface" is an intense film
both in its use of language
and depiction of violence.

$650,000 includes a new
water well and chlorination
facilities, storage tank and
distribution improvements.
However, a meeting with
Terry Ambrose, rural
development specialist with
Community Resources
Group, Inc., Rural Water
Division, has convinced
council members the job
could possibly be done
cheaper and better if the city
will seek out other bids and
sources of revenue.
If the facility is funded
through bonds water rates
will double or even triple,
Ambrose said.
According to Schrubb a
monthly Tee of $17 was sug-
gested to ,repay bond
revenue although this fee
could be lowered by raising
tap fees or taking general
funds to help pay the debt.
Ambrose told the council
they could probably get bet-
ter financing with lower in-
terest rates from Farmers
Home Loan Association. He
also suggested that the coun-
cil seek out and apply for
Community Development
Block Grants.
“Never go with paying for
a system you are proposing
based on raising water rates
because five years from now
you are in trouble,” Am-
brose advised the council.
“You are going to tripple
water rates in a short time if
you really look at it. If you
don’t do it right now later
down the road you are really
going to have problems,”
Ambrose said. He suggested
the council call Farmers
Home Loan and have them
send a representative over to
talk with them.
“To fund the project you
are talking about is, in the
long run, going to cost you $1
million rather than $650,000
by the time you are com-
pleted,” Ambrose said.
“When you are talking this
much money and the future
of Shepherd I think you
should consider every possi-
ble sourse of information,”
he advised.
Shepherd Chamber of
Commerce President Ralph
Braswell said, “The people
will not accept doubling and
tripling of water rates. I
realize we need a well
because there is a chance the
one we have now will run
out, but, I don’t think we
should have the opinion of
only one engineering firm. I
believe we should have bids
from two or three.”
Council members earlier
had made a contract with an
engineering firm who pro-
posed a total $2 million pro-
ject for Completely
reconstructing the entire
water system including
pipes. It was the only
engineering firm council
members heard.
To take care of emergency
needs, however, council
members contracted
$650,000 of the contract.
In emergency situations,
Mayor Schrubb pointed out
the city was not required to
seek bids.
“If this is going to stand in
the way of us getting grants
we need to do something
about it,” said chamber
member Bob Harris.
Ambrose confirmed that
as many as three engineer-
ing bids were required in
seeking grants. He also told
council members that
“engineering firms should
be getting your money for
you rather than council
members.” The firms also
should write applications for
grants or loans without any
extra charge.
The city has been billed
$5,000 for these services in
the past.
