At a Tuesday night meeting Price and the Mentone chamber decided to be the collection point for private funds for the proposed egg-shaped water tower. "We've got a lot of people who want to donate money to this," said Price."There is tremendous financial support behind this." Price said the chamber is waiting to announce its financial goal until substantial donors reveal their donations to the fund drive.The egg could cost $25,000-$50,000 more than a plain tower. "We have the opportunity to do something to set (Mentone) apart and it's not going to cost taxpayers anything," said Price. She refused to name any potential donors, and said she believes the largest potential donor may never wish to reveal his identity. Price said the chamber would collect donations for the egg from private donors and then pay the difference between a standard tank and the novelty.
