pool will be two miles from Kn-

McKay pointed out that Knnis
officials cannot negotiate with

ect in the Soil Conservation

City to Extend
Water Line to
Rogers-Maise
Willie Lucas and Kd Williams
arrived laic for an appointment
with the City Commission at its
meeting Monday night and found
that the Commission bad already
acted to approve extension of
water service to Rogers-Maise
Bark.
The Commission also approv-
ed mowing the grass on the pro-
perty it turned over to the
Rogers-Maise Association for
park purposes one time since the
grass and weeds had grown too
tall for the association's equip
ment to handle.
Lucas asked that the city con-1
sider assistance toward provid-
ing sewerage service and rest
rooms at the park. The Commis-
sion took the request under ad-
visement for further study.
It was revealed that some
$142.69 remains in a fund the
city set up for use of colored
park purposes some few years
agm
Buddie Davis appeared as a
representative of a Tabernacle
Baptist Church committee to ask
if the city would consider aban-
doning an alley between the
church and property the church
owns on the other .side of the
alley.
While the matter was not put
to a vote, it appeared that the
commission would frown up on
the closing of the alley. Exten-
sive relocations of water and
sewer lines would be required
and a fire lane would be closed
by the abandonment.
Commissioner Sam Davis said
jokingly that as a member of
the church he can go on record
as saying it would be foolish for
the city to abandon the alley.
Buddie Davis brought up the
possibility of an easement for
an overhead passage across the
alleyway and the Commission
said it would consider such pro
posal when definite information
was provided.
The Commission turned down
a request of the Community
Center to set up new play ap
paratus and to distribute several
loads of dirt vuth maintainor on
the Community Center grounds
Commissioners stated the re
quest did not meet the require
ments of a uniform policy set up
on such work.
The policy adopted earlier was
restated in greater detail in a
resolution adopted at. the meet-
ing.
A request from County Com-
missioner Dick Kendall that the
city lower and prepare water
lines for the relocation of High-
way 75 in Sonoma at county ex
pense was deferred until speci
Bcations are received.

Mrs. Schureman
Funeral services for Mrs. A
J. Schureman were held Tues-
day morning at 10 o'clock at the
Keever Chapel with Dr. O. L
Hargis, pastor of the First

resident of Garrett and former
school teacher in Ellis County,
