Plans to remedy the present
i bad situation here enclude tlie
; erection of a danr to form, a lake
! about 8 1-2 miles south oC town.
I This lake would cover 990 acres.
a 50-t'oot drop to flow the water
! to the city, the estimated cost
being $400,000.
In order to do this it is pro-
posed to vote revenue bearing
bonds, no taxes to be placed upon
city or county property.. The idea
is to go ahead with the project
prepared to furnish water and'
distribute it if necessary or to -j
purchase both the water and gas
distributing system of the Com-
munity Public Service company;
It a deal is made with, the com-
pany to distribute the water noi
to issue more bonds than needed.
The dam would impound waters
of the Gonzolus, Big Sandy, and
Hubbard. Creeks and engineers
who made the survey said it
would be the best water supply at
West Texas. The project as- pro-
posed has been passed; byr the
state water engineers.
Mayor Jimmy Brewster pictured
the local water situation as bad.
getting: progressively worse, and
told of proposing distribution to
the Community Public Service
Company; saying they got "exact-
ly nowhere". He closed by saying
that if Breckenridge wishes to
progress this should he done, but
if it wishes- to remain, "a village
and rake leaves"' the present wa-
ter supply will keep it one,: for
already industries are being lost
because of bad water. Breckcn-
ridge "wilt die on the . vine", he
said. ,.
It was said: the water wiU: be
four times as soft as Possum
Kingdom Lake water at the dam
and eight times as soft as at the
upper endf and Breckenridge wat
er. Figures of hardness were-given
as 161 compared to oveip 800.
Figures were read to show that
the water rate charge made in;
Breckenridge is fbout twice 19
high as the average charge for
cities of fifteen thousand in Texas.
The lake Is to be- developed
with the idea of a- city of 15,000
and: it was added the dam can be
made higher to increase the sup*
ply above that. t
Normally it will take about'two
years to complete the- project.

STATE GUARD MAY RE MOVED
MINERAL WELLS, April II
A move- was set: underway Tues-
day afternoon to: locate the head-
quarters of the 15th Battalion
Texas sftto Guard, in Mineral
Wells; The headquarters, which
has previously been stationed a-
Breckenridge, is in the: process of
disbanding because armory space
there is no longer available.
Effective date of the Breckenridge
deactivation is April 15.
At a meeting of the military-
affairs committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, it was decided to
request of Lt. Col James R. Brew-
ster of Breckenridge, present
commander of the 15th Battalion,
that he recommended to the Ad-
jutant General ofthe Guard that
Mineral Wells be designated as
the new location of the battalion
headquarters.
The meeting, presided overt by
E. L. Malsby acting as chairman
of the military affairs committer,
was attended1 by committee mem-
bers and other interested: former
officers of the Army. National
Guard and State Guard.
Members of the committee ex-
pressed the belief that the move
to bring the 15th Battalion head-
quarters to Mineral Wells might
also lead in the future toward
location here of a regimental head
quarters 06 the National Guard;
The committee predicted: that a
sufficient number of National
Guard and former Army person-
nel residing: here mould be willing
to take an active part in State
Guard work and thus make pos-
sible the Tilling of the battalion
