Th. means of prorating thi

turn it on only a few hour.s a day
is th point of much contention.
Having secured information on
the cost of transportation and the
cost of the water per thousand gal
Ions, the water employees afi also
b< set with the problem of figuring
out a rate to be levied against the
consumers. All of which i- just a
precaution, that they may not be

the majority of them have child

at perfect ease to have the«e gen-

With Joe F. Caatleberry a*
chairman, the trustees have done
a magnificent job to keep the Al-
bany public school advancing and
at the same time, maintain a niet
bank balance of school fund*.
Very few schools in Texas, or any
other state, have been able to pay
off their teachers promptly during:
the past year or so, and the crwrf*.
is due these trustees, that Albany'
has excelled so many others. LetV
lend them our support and co-
