Florence Studies $230,000 Project Florence officials will meet tomorrow with the Kenton County Water District at the Cabana Restaurant, Erlanger, to discuss possible construction of a 500,000 gallon water storage tank in Florence at a cost of approximately $230,000.

Thqo (Tate) Hageman, executive secretary of the water district, said yesterday his engineers recently completed a survey of the water needs of Florence. "They need such a tank," Hageman tald. "If there is a water main break, the city would be in danger, because they would not have an emergency supply." Florence, Elsmere and half of Erlanger is sen-iced by an eight-inch main, which Hageman claims is sufficient as long as it remains in operation. In the event of a line break, Erlanger and Elsmere can use a 500,000 gallon tank the district has built at the Kenton Lands Project in Erlanger. The district maintains two other half-million gallon tanks.

One is located on Dudley Pike, near Sum mit Hills Country Club, and the other is in Lookout Heights. "But, the district can't force anything on Florence," Hageman said. "They are outside of the district, in another county. It will be up to the people there to realize the savings such a tank will have on the community." Hageman estimated that there will be 1000 more consumers in Florence in five years. The district now serves approximately 1300 consumers in Florence.

Florence is an area twice as large as Erlanger with a population approximately the same as its sister city. This complicates financing any large expenditure, Hageman indicated. I Officials of Florence probably will consider two methods of financing construction of the storage tank if they approve the project, One would be the laying of a direct assessment by city Council on the consumers. Another would be placing the matter before the voters in the form of a special levy. ft mmmmX si) I i i Sf II rvT 3 4 I I i- I I yj ii i i These Ft.

Where Y'Been, Friend? Ad Brings Brothers Together After 42 Years Of SeparationLester Lost Action Eyed By Covington With Signing Sunny smiles prevailed around the conference tabje at the signing yesterday of a SO-year water contract by of icials of the Campbell County Water District and Newport, but figurative storm clouds gathered simultaneously as Covington eyed court action and a possible move to inval idate the pact Ralph Rich, assistant Covington Solicitor, said he is studying the matter and "probably" will file suit in behalf of his city today in Campbell Circuit Court. According to Kicii, it is cov-ington's contention that, inasmuch as the city's water-producing facilities have been given the status of a utility company by courts, the city should be protected in its investment by the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Covington now sells the district about half of its water supply.

The Newport District con- tract calls for Newport to take over the total sale of water at a new, low rate of 13 cents for each 1000 gallons. Newport Commissioners took action yesterday approving the 1000 gallon contract by a 4-1 vote. Commissioners Joseph Schaber, Clem Reker, Robert, Fischer and Hargis Cole favored the contract. Mayor Alfred G. Maybury cast the dissenting vote.

Mayor Maybury, would not elaborate on why he would not favor the contract and stated he would issue a statement in the near TALKED TWO YEARS The signing of the contract by Arthur Winkler, district chairman, and Felix Breiteri-stein and Fred Partin, district members, ends nearly two years of negotiations with Newport officials. Winkler said 'during the 20 months operation of the district since the plant was secured from the Commonwealth Water Louisville, the district has proceeded cautiously and has carefully observed its operations." "The commissioners have been in constant negotiations for the benefit of the district; have made a continuous study of our needs and requirements; and have managed the affairs conservatively and prudently," Judge Fred M. Warren of Campbell County Court said. Judge Warren, who appointed the district members, said, "the district considered the building of its own plant, the continuation of its present policy of buying water from both Newport and Covington, and the offers of both cities to deal exclusively with either one." Winkler pointed out that the district, in electing, to accept the offer of Newport, feels it has accomplished the purpose for which the district was formed. BENEFITS SEEN "Campbell County generally will benefit materially; and the economy of the City of Newport will be enhanced.

Accordingly, and to stabilize matters somewhat, the district has entered into a long term contract with the City of Newport." Officials pointed out that if the contract Is approved by the Public Service Commission, if district bondholders concur, and when Newport's expansion and modernization program is completed, a decrease in district water rates should be effected. The district now purchases water from both Covington and Newport for 26.6 cents per 1000 with each city deriving approximately $90,000 annually Irom the district.

Sheriff Chester Greenhill, quoting Omel's father, Selvia, and the boy, says this is the Reeves' version of what happened: Father and son, starting off in a jeep yesterday to pick strawberries in Rowan County, saw an automobile jack in the middle of the road near where Messer worked on his car. Reeves stopped and Omel alighted to remove the jack. Reeves said Messer came running with a knife, chasing first Reeves, and then Omel, who eluded Messer, took his .22 rifle from the car and fired when Messer disregarded his warning.
