of a more adequate system for the
future and now that system is being
installed, even before the demands
are urgent. Take our sewerage sys-
tem. This system which was built
a few years ago, was sufficient for
our needs and has even accomodated
additional connections. During the
past three or four months more than
200 connections have been made and
: it will not be long, if this rate con-
tinues until it will have to be en-
larged. The light and the water
systems have been able to take care
'of every emergency, but the day is
not far distant when they, too, will
be unable to supply the service re-
quired.

Weatherford is now enjoying a
good, wholesome growth and the ad-
vancement and improvements of the
past year has greatly exceeded the
anticipation of our most optimistic
cltisens. New homes have been
built and hundreds of old homes re-
modeled and improved and equiped
with all the modern conveniences
which add comforts and make life
worth while. The growth has not
been of the boom, or mushroom va-
riety, but that steady permanent kind
that will remain and continue to
spread until Weatherford becomes a
modern city.
With this growth we are brought
face to face with the fact that it will
not be long until every public service
Utility we have will be inadequate to
meet tbe demands of tbe city. Up
to the present time and for several
months to come our facilities axe am-

with much greater rapidity than any
