to entering upon the project which

months no productive steps have
been made toward this project
However, the objections due to
the mentioned lack of federal aid
seem to be over-ruled for many
persons due to the fact that no
formal application for federal aid
has ever been initiated. Also it re

It is a hard fact to accept
local citizens,” said J. D. Watson,
Sr., local citizen and Blaney’s
postmaster, ‘but Blaney with all
of its potentialities, has probably
reached the peak of its growth—
without an adequate water sup
ply. With the construction of only
a four inch main line it would
pave the way for housing projects,
manufacturing interests, and for

would find Blaney’s central loca

pressure, and the amount of water
itself is inadequate for the pur
poses of sanitation or fire preven
tion. Insurance rates, it was re

adequate water protection from
fire. The present school adminis

unanimously indorse, such a move
for a city-owned water works,
said W. D. Watson, Sr., member of
the board of trustees.
Citizens too, are in favor of a
good water supply for Blaney.
“Inasmuch as the cost of any in
dividual water system can auto
matically be figured at from four
to five hundred dollars above each
dwelling unit estimate,” said W.
D. Graddick, local plumbing con
tractor, “little explanation is need
ed to understand why the erec
tion of large or small housing
units has been met with apprehen
sion.” And many persons feel'that
the reduced insurance rates; alone,
could pay for an adequate water
supply, in a matter of a few years.
As A. B. Nelson, local magiaJ
