G. Bert Smith special attorney for the City of Abilene, said this would depend upon the decision of the district's board of directors. He gave a run-down on the po6sibility when asked by a reporter. Section 17 of the legislative act creating the water district gave it authority to enter into contracts with cities and others for supplying water to them, Smith said. It wouldn't be necessary to be.
come a member of the district in order to buy the water, but it would be up to the board whether it granted water to anybody outside its own members, Smith explained. The proposed new municipality might even join the water district, if the district directors and the State Board of Water Engineers decided such annexation to be in the best interest if the Lytle Shores area and of the water district, Smith related. A resolution was to be considered Thursday afternoon by the City Commission restricting the city from making any direct water or sewer connections to customers within any incorporated municipality outside the city limits of Abilene. It would also state that the city would serve any incorporated municipality outside Abilene only with such service as the commission specifically authorizes under contract with the said municipality and only under such terms and conditions as may appear to be for the best interest of Smith outlined the procedure for annexing territory to West Central Texas Municipal Water District, He referred to Section 5 of the legislative act which created the district. A petition would have to be filed by the people in the territory asking the district board of directors for annexation.
If the board decides such a merger i is for the best interest of the proposed new territory and district, it requests the State Board of Water Engineers to make the annexation, Then the State Board of Water Engineers holds a hearing on the annexation proposal, and if con- Brother of Three Abilenians Dies Funeral for Mercer E.
