By year's end it will have been the direct cause of property losses amounting to over one billion dollars. And, warns the National Water Institute, it could be much worse unless local fire departments can be assured of having enough water to extinguish fires when they occur. Although there is no actual shortage of water in the U. S., National Water Institute surveys reveal there are widespread deficiencies in the sources and equipment of the 19,000 water utilities which supply water for public use. These inadequacies .affect every aspect of community health and economic welfare. "While water is a necessity for every household, office and industrial establishment, it is also the highly-traine- d fireman'3 most effective fire-fightin- g weapon. It must be delivered to him in the proper quanity. at the correct pressure, wherever and whenever he may need it. Our nation's water utilities has been inadequate since 194.0. To catch up with the population growth and population shifts of the past 20 years and prepare for the growth to come water officials predict an increase of 270 in water use by 19S5 we need to spend twice the amount of money now annually allocated to improvement of water supply sources and facilities, says the National Water Institute. The l1! billion dollars needed each year to improve water utility equipment can be financed by approval of local water ibcnd issues, says the NWI, if the nation's voters replace apathy with awareness of this vital problem. NCT Municipal Water Authority 'Becomes of Age' Officials of the North Central Texas Municipal Water Authority were advised this week that bonds issued by the Authority had been approved by the State Attorney General, and that the bonds were registered by the State Comproller. Approval by the Attorney General means that the Authority has "ibecome of age" to use a literal expiession. As a water district it has complied with all the legal requirements necessary in becoming a separate and distinct government agency as authorized in legislation creating the Authority Proceeds from the $3,800,000 bond issue authorized by voters in the NCTACW Authority, commonly called water district, will now be available as needed in getting an immediate start underway toward development cf the project. Water Authority directors had been fortunate in securing prior approval of the project for financing through State and Federal loan agencies, with a consequent saving in interest rates that will amount to several hundred thousand dollars during the life of the bonds. Officials of the Water Authority were optimistic this week over prospects that actual work could be started immediately on land purchasing, engineering and core testing reservoir site, etc., since financing of the project had been assured.

It would be well to resolve now today to begin a careful study of your insurance needs not merely guess that you have enough insurance. Perhaps you have recently acquired more furniture, jewelry, a fur coat or a camera are they adequately insured? Have you increased the fire insurance on your home and household property to allow for higher replacement costs?

Adequate Water Needed To Meet<br />

Fire Hazards<br />

This year file will take the lives of over 11,000 Americans,<br />

strike at more than 3,500 churches, 4,000 schools and 250,000<br />

homes. By year's end it will have been the direct cause of<br />

property losses amounting to over one billion dollars. And,<br />

warns the National Water Institute, it could be much worse<br />

unless local fire departments can be assured of having enough<br />

water to extinguish fires when they occur.<br />

Although there is no actual shortage of water in the U. S.,<br />

National Water Institute surveys reveal there are widespread<br />

deficiencies in the sources and equipment of the 19,000 water<br />

utilities which supply water for public use. These inadequacies<br />

.affect every aspect of community health and economic welfare.<br />

"While water is a necessity for every household, office and<br />

industrial establishment, it is also the highly-traine- d fireman'3<br />

most effective fire-fightin- g weapon. It must be delivered to him<br />

in the proper quanity. at the correct pressure, wherever and<br />

whenever he may need it.<br />

Our nation's water utilities has been inadequate since 194.0.<br />

To catch up with the population growth and population shifts<br />

of the past 20 years and prepare for the growth to come water<br />

officials predict an increase of 270 in water use by 19S5 we<br />

need to spend twice the amount of money now annually allocated<br />

to improvement of water supply sources and facilities,<br />

says the National Water Institute.<br />

The l1! billion dollars needed each year to improve water<br />

utility equipment can be financed by approval of local water<br />

ibcnd issues, says the NWI, if the nation's voters replace apathy<br />

with awareness of this vital problem.<br />

NCT Municipal Water Authority<br />

'Becomes of Age'<br />

Officials of the North Central Texas Municipal Water Authority<br />

were advised this week that bonds issued by the Authority<br />

had been approved by the State Attorney General, and that the<br />

bonds were registered by the State Comproller.<br />

Approval by the Attorney General means that the Authority has<br />

"ibecome of age" to use a literal expiession. As a water<br />

district it has complied with all the legal requirements necessary<br />

in becoming a separate and distinct government agency as<br />

authorized in legislation creating the Authority<br />

Proceeds from the $3,800,000 bond issue authorized by voters<br />

in the NCTACW Authority, commonly called water district, will<br />

now be available as needed in getting an immediate start<br />

underway toward development cf the project.<br />

Water Authority directors had been fortunate in securing<br />

prior approval of the project for financing through State and<br />

Federal loan agencies, with a consequent saving in interest rates<br />

that will amount to several hundred thousand dollars during<br />

the life of the bonds.<br />

Officials of the Water Authority were optimistic this week<br />

over prospects that actual work could be started immediately<br />

on land purchasing, engineering and core testing reservoir site,<br />

etc., since financing of the project had been assured.<br />
