And, there is no guarantee that there will be any in- creased income. ® © ® The water problem has been something else the past days. ®e © ® Both surface water and the drinking water have been in- volved. e © o Because the ground is fro- zen ‘hard, all the rain water which fell last weekend ac- ross the earth, went into the waterways and on into the streams. - ® © o With the water went all manner of pollutants.
