Will Have Water System
At the third trial for securing a
waterworks system in Nehawka of
adequate size to take care of the
needs of the town, both in the matter
of consumption and fire protection,
the proposition was carried by a vote
of 135 for to 55 against, or slightly
over 71 per cent. The. statutory re
quirement to pass a proposal of this
kind is 60 per cent.
In 1931 a similar proposition was
lost by seven votes, but this time the
result was different. A very thorough
campaign had been carried on before
the date of the election last Saturday.
Under the PWA arrangement avail
able to towns and cities, the govern
ment will donate 30 per cent of the
cost, while the remaiaiof 70 per cent
must be borno by the municipality.
