The board of town commissioners in a called meeting here Tuesday afternoon, said an emergenfcy existed and signed a contract with Dominion Tank and Iron Company of Petersburg, Va., to repair the tank ?t a cost of-$4,800. This inludes the cost of cleaning and J painting the tank, previously awarded to the Petersburg Company. A representative of the tank company several weeks ago warned the commissioners that when the tank was cleaned that it was apt to show that the tank needed extensive repairs. The amount of pitting in the tank as revealed by a special inspector from the Wilson ?Water Company, David Jenkins, was much greater than the commissioners had anticipated. Also climbing the some 140 foot ladder and going down into the tank to make an inspection of its condition was , Water Superintendent Harold R. Skillman. v While only $1,000 had been placed in the budget for water company expenses, the commissioners ruled that a state of emergency exists, and ordered the money be taken out of surplus funds. Under the contract with the Dominion Tank and Iron Company all seams and pitted places in the water tank will be welded and put in good shape. The repair job carried a 12-year bonded guarantee and jear guarantee. ^ Beginning Wedneaday morn* ing a crew commenced the repairs to the tank, working around -the clock with three eight-hour shifts. They are expected to complete their job next Tuesday night. Meanwhile supply and pressum in thp water mains arc hp ing maintained by 24-hour operation of pumps at the water plant in South Warrenton. This plan of operation has already been in operation for several days while the tank was being cleaned. There has been little if any discernable difference in service to water customers. Mr. and MrS.

Wood I Commander of Limer Post of j the American Legion, Banzet j said that the deeds of these men on the battlefields must be matched by deeds of devotion in civilian life in order that those things for which they fought and died may live. ] The devotion which caused them to die for their country, he said, should inspire us to live for our country. There are battles that must be fought in the theatre of wars, but there also remains the ever present call to battle for decency, for right, for the strength of one's country. How we meet this test in our everyday life is the measure of our devotion to those principles for which they died; how we irieet i this test is the measure of the i honor which we pay them. Only through emulating their ; courage and their devotion, their self-sacrifice for the good . of their country, Banzet said, can make sure that those we [ honor in this and other mef mortal services have not died in vain. .
