City councilmen voted in favor of a contract with Dr.
Irvin S. Krick, operator of a "weather modification” service,
on the suggestion of Morris B. Cunningham, city water
superintendent, and Mayor Street.
‘I don’t want the people to say we haven’t done every-

money spent on the project would be "well gambled,” he
added.
Cunningham said he had been studying Dr. Krick's'rain-
