25 YEARS AGO

January 19,1984

Bruce Critzer spotted water gushing out of the ground Saturday afternoon on Blue Ridge Avenue just past the Washington Cash Store and notified Ray Pullen, overseer of the town’s water system. “It was too late then to dig up the line and repair whatever was the trouble,” Mayor Newbill Miller reported, so Pullen monitored the reservoir and when the water level dropped to four feet at around 11 p.m., he shut down the system. Water was turned on again Sunday from 7 to 9:30 a.m., when repair work began. The problem lay with a large tree root that had grown between the 4-inch cast iron line.

The Rappahannock School board Tuesday chose the architectural firm Baugham & BaukhAges of Luray for a preliminary study for the high school renovation. The company did the bus shop/administration building. The School Board members called the company “a known quantity” said Randall Updike.
