IN MARSHALL
Breaks At Marshall, Walnut
Creek Necessitate
"Cold Work"
Despite sub-freezing weather,
snow, slush, and mud, major
breaks in local waiter lines have
necessitated "cold work" by re
pairmen in Marshall and on Wal
nut Creek for the past several
days.
The fouir-inch water main at the
lower end of Main Street here
burst during the bitter weather
and thousand of gallons of water
was spilling over on the railroad.
Local workers dug and searched
for the main line but when it
couldn't be located, they were
forced to put in a new 4-inch line
to the fire hydrant and a smaller
line from the hydrant to the
houses at the end of Redmon Rd.
During this crisis, the main wa
ter line from Hunter Creek de
veloped two major breaks in the
Walnut Creek area and workers
had to scurry to work repairing'
these lines. Workers labored all
day Sunday before . reaching the
break, some 15 feet deep in solid
rock enforcements. Work was
completed on Mondlay morning.
Roy Wild, water commissioner,
lauded the fine work of Buford

BILL WOULD
HIKE PAY FOR
REGISTRARS
The House passed and sent to
the Senate Friday a bill which
would raise the pay of precinct
election registrar and judges.
Rep. Liston B. Ramsey of Mar
shall, sponsor of the measure,
told the House the bill would in
crease the pay of registrars from
$15 a day to $20 for the same
seven days they are actually
working.
It woujld raise the per diem
pay of precinct judges, who work
only on election dlay, from $10 to
$15 a day.
Registrars are required to work
on specified days before registra
tion, on the day of election and
during the canvass after each e
lection. The increase would create no
extra cost for the state except in
statewide bond elections, since
precinct officials are paid by the
county government for their
work during scheduled elections,
Ramsey said.
