Attorney Lewis conferred this week with a member of the Public Service Commission with reference to the manner in which the complaint must be made and has already made re- quest for the forms to be followed in preparing the petition. The communication to the Commis- sion will be prepared according to standard forms and will request a hearing and investigation, it is ex- pected. Members of the group ware confident their move will bring quick and definite results. The petition will embody criticisms of an alleged insufficient’ and impure water supply. The meeting on Monday night was addressed by L. D. Matter, district engineer of the State Department of Health, Mr. Matter discussed the na- tural water resources of this region, the requirements of the town and suggested several ways to satisfy the demand for adequate water = supply. His discussion was impartial and though he gave interesting statistics concerning the efficiency of municipal waterworks in communities where such units are not made political foot- balls his address was by no means an indorsement of such plants. He did stress that the construction of water- works throughout the country is giv- en major consideration in the Nation- al Recovery Program of unemploy- ment relief. ] Odd Fellows Buy Burial Plot Here Dedicate I.
