assumed an unusual burden by its contract with the United States of America
to furnish water for Sheppard Field, and

America of sabatoge to public utilities, and the City of 111.1chita Falls has
provided guards in order to prevent sabatoge to its water plant and water
supply, and has found it difficult to employ competent trained men for this
particular class of work, and many city employees have joined the armed forces
and sought employment in other lines of work paying higher wages it has become
difficult for the City to maintain a competent staff of guards with which to
properly guard and protect its properties, and
V;HEREAS, it is believed by the Board of aldermen of the City of
Wichita Falls that the United States of America, through its liar Department,
due to the fact that it is dependent on the City of Wichita Falls for its
water supply at Sheppard Field, would be willing to furnish the necessary
and proper military guards to protect the water plant and water supply from
sabatoge for the duration of the war
