hibits.
Michael Pricio, who repre- |
sented the JayCees, announced
that plans are underway for |
this year’s parade which will be |

All the members of the Auth-

be a rash of water leaks, both
in the mains and in the services
due to the added pressure. This
condition, however, is unavoid-

as this was one of the major
reasons for the improvement of
the system, the inconvenience
and expense of repairing breaks -
must be put up with.
The Authority, therefore,
went on record as favoring the
