Watei'shed Fair Trains
Fifty dollars was added to tho
funds of the committee work-
ing to further formation of a
Donahue Watershed District by
the Chamber of Commerce at
its August meeting Tuesday
night.
It was announced at the meet-
ing that the Little River-San
Gabriel Soil Conservation Dis-
trict Board had voted to finance
a survey of the district to set
its boundaries. It will do the
.same for the Darrs Creek Wat-
ershed and for the San Gabriel
Watershed.
The committee is in the pro-
cess of preparing a petition to
tho State Legislature for the
formation of a district on the
same basis as the Elm Creek
IVatershed near Temple which
-was formed by legislative ac-
tion. It is hoped that the peti-
tion can be presented at the
special session of tho legislature
which Gov. Price Daniel has in-
dicated he will call this fall.
iEoron Lindemann commun
ity fair president reported on
progress of the fair and stated
that fair committees are meet-
ing this week and directors are
planning a meeting for Thurs-
day night.
A proposal for the Chamber
of Commerce to enter a float in
the parade was referred to the
directors and the advertising
committee.
Roads were discussed with
AV. F. Blair of the road commit-
tee reporting that Commission
er R. B. Latham is preparing the
Pecan road this fall for topping
next spring.
The organization took action
to write the Railroad Commis-
sion protesting the discontinu-
ance of M.K.&T. trains 'Nos. 21
and 22 which operate between
Waco and Houston. It was point-
ed out that these are the only
trains now giving passenger and
express service between Bart-
Jett and Houston. The commis-
sion will hear a petition of the
xailroad for permission to dis-
continue these trains on Sept. 5
in Houston.

City Council
Discusses New
Water Well
The City Council met for its
regular business session Mon
day evening at the city hall.
A representative for tho Bell
Telephone Company upon learn-
ing that the mayor was out or
town decided not to bring up
the company's request for a
raise in rates at the meeting.
It was decided unofficially
that the city should drill a new
water well in the near future.
It was felt that the well drilled
in 1902 would not last too much
longer and that only one well
could not supply the city with
enough water. The second well
was drilled in 1936. The water
tower was erected in 1910.
The officials thought that
should they drill they should
go down to the level of the Trin-
ity sands which is the level
from which Granger and Hol-
land draw water.
A city tax ordinance setting
the 1957 tax rate at $1.00 was
passed at the meeting. The rate
is the same as for the past sev-
eral years. Reuben L. Janke is
acting as mayor pro-tem in the
absence of Mayor Otto Whit-
tington.

Are Answered

the dumping ground Sunday;
and another grass fire Tuesday
near the Donahue railroad
bridge.
On Monday Oscar Schwert-
ner stopped a truck that was"
blazing and firemen were cal-
led putting out the fire al-
though the cooking utensils
bedding clothing and other ar
ticles on the truck were lost.
Firemen did manage to save
the truck. The blaze was sight-
ed about five miles east of town
near tho Hugo Wolf farm.
McGIothlin stated that since
the grass was so dry everyone
should use every precaution to
prevent fires.
