BELIEVER IN TRADING "I am a great believer in horse- trading," he continued, "as long as Gifford is getting the better end of the deal, and I want the city to get the better end of this deal."

BUY MUCH WATER Some of the wells used by householders in the area, he said, had been dry since August. Not a few people had had to buy 600 gallons of water each week.

'BOUND TO CONFLICT Mayor Gifford: "If you stay in public life very long, it is bound to conflict with your own busi- ness. Some of us rent city land and have done so for years, and if anyone thinks I am wrong, let them unseat me."
