The Corps of Army Engineers reviewed the Water Planning study for Fayette, Spalding, Coweta and Henry Counties. Gov. George Busbee revived interest in the study and requested it be updated. Harry Simmons, head of the water system in Griffin, P.W. Hamil, Spalding County Commission chairman; Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Reynolds, Herben Turner of the Conservancy unit here, and Alfred Bolton, civil engineer in Griffin, were among the Griffinites present. It was pointed out once again that by the year 2000, the population in the 4-county area will be more than 200,000. Engineers pointed out that the area is not a good one for ground wells as a source of water. The possible use of Flat Shoals as a water source was brought up at the meeting. The engineers are checking this and other possibilities.

Face reconstructed MOBILE, Ala. (AP)—ln hopes of identifying a woman whose skeletal remains were found near here last November, investigators have reconstructed what they think her face may have looked like. There’s no guarantee that it’s an accurate replica of the woman’s face, but pictures of it were circulated Wed nesday by sheriff’s officers to see if it would pry loose a clue. Among the problems with the reconstruction: They’re not exactly sure of the woman’s race and can say only that she was somewhere between 22 and 35. Sheriff Tom Purvis said she could have been dead as long as two years when the skeleton was found in a wooded area west of Mobile. The face was reconstructed from the skeleton and bits of clothing and hair by Dr. Clyde C. Snow of the Civil Aeromedical Institute in Oklahoma City, Okla.
