The urgent need for an additional
water well to meet the fast increas-
ing demand for water in Burleson,
was emphasized this week with the

Four Puppies Left At
City Garbage Dump
Which is the worst, having puppies
put to death, or leaving them to
starve to death at the city dumping
ground? Last week someone dumped
four young puppies, that were not
old enough to even know how to
hunt food, at the city dumping
ground. Sunday, only one could be
seen among the pile of cans and rub-
bish, and it was pathetic. Every car
that rolled into the ground, the little
fellow would throw his nose up try-
ing to catch a familiar scent, then
give a mournful little cry.
The other three . . . they could be
dead among the cans . . . wondered
off . . . or picked up by someone, we
hope. Providing those little dogs
manage to survive life for a few
months, they will be forced to make
hunters and killers for their food, and
maybe killers of lambs or calves.
The person that dumped the puppies
have an utter disregard for other
people, to say nothing about how
little they care for the life of a young
dumb animal. We can never under-
stand people of this nature.
statement from Mayor Gregory and
other city officials that unless the
people authorizes the city council at
Saturday’s election to dig another
well, water consumption will have to
be curtailed, either by rationing, or
some other means of control, because
we simply are using more water than
our wells can produce.
Gregory, gave figures supplied by
water engineers, to back their re-
ports that present supply was far
short of what is needed now, to say
nothing of future growth.
People are urged to vote for the
additional well in Saturday’s elec-
tion, which will in no way increase
your taxes. You will be voting for
the issuance of revenue bonds by the
city, to give officials money with
which to drill an additional well.

You folks in town wouldn’t

makes nails has about quit
shipping ’em in kegs and has
gone to using heavy cardboard
boxes. Zeke Grubb brung up
the subject at the country store
Saturday night and the fellers
voted unanimous that it was a
sad day in our history. There
ain’t never been nothing in
this world better to set on and
solve the country’s problems
than a good nail keg. Thomas
Jefferson was probably setting
on a nail keg when he figgered
out the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Ham was made fer
eggs, and nails was made fer
kegs — not cardboard boxes.
