BROXTON RECEIVES
NEW WATER TANK
It was with a burst of gladness
from many when the steel water
tank came into town last week. It
is being placed and will take the place
of the wooden tank which has been
in use for many years. Yes, since
July, Broxton’s water supply has been
everything to test ones patients and
faith. No one dared complain for
the country at large was worse off
even than we were with bursted res
ervoir, Usually twice a day water
was turned on and if you didn’t catch
and fill vessels, your daily ablution
was minus and this with hot weather!
And sometimes a bunch of children,
and no well. But everyone has en
dured it sweetly, and there was no one
to blame. The order was long de
layed in reaching here.
Our city fathers are requested to
put an electric light on the top, so
that our city may be as as a light set
upon a hill.
