Rec e ntly, however, the pump bas been out of operation. As a r esult, rain water bas collected in such quantities as to be a serious menace to passing traffic. This road is a county highway although situated at this point within Garden City. The matter was ref e r - red to County Engineer Starks. H . Louis Naisaw-ald and George B .

According to both of the men who spoke at last night's meeting, the east part of Garden City was sold to prospective r esidents on the guarantee that it would be made one or the finest and exclusive residence distri c t s in the coun try . Later, when the w-ar was declared, the officials of the Curties company wished to e r ect a plant in this vi ci nity tor \expe rimental pur- poses,'' and bad plans drawn for an artistic plant which would be a credit to any com munity .
