businesses in the area A fivemember board of which one member must be a town councillor is then established by the town to administer the project However although opposition from onethird of the

some major rain falls However Mayor Bob Forhan takes a different view of the problem He said Friday his in formation indicates meres no water shor theres a shortage of pumping capacity and storage and he blames it on the empty gallon reservoir He indicated he suspects regional engineers dont want to admit they have been caught with their water levels down and instead prefer to call the problem a
