THE WATER WORKS MEETING.

The "widespread Disqualification" Flat
tens Out-0O OF the 81 Callers OF the
Meeting Not Present.
A meeting was held Monday night at the
court house for the purpose, as the call
said, of deciding latter thorough discus
sion of the question, by the citizens and
taxpayers, whether the water works shall
be located upon the Neosho or Cotton
wood rivers" We had supposed that
there was much interest in the matter of
the location from the number Of. infiuen-
tial names the call contained. 1t was
published four OF five days. SO that it
could not have been overlooked or for
gotten. 1t seems that the impression
that there was widespread dissatisfaction
with the proposed location of the works
was not sustained by the turnout Of
the callers o. the meeting. Out of the
eighty seven names published to the call
we can count sixty who were not present
at the meeting, and II is therefore fair to
coRcludc that the dissatisfaction does
not exist, and that there Is really little
interest felt in the matter.
Mr. W. A. Randolph presided and A.
w. Stubs was secretary. Brief talks
by several gentlemen were made,
among the rest councilman Whittlesey,
whs made very candid, clear and salts
factory statement of theaaction of the
waterworks committee and the council.
After the mention of all the various
minor reasons in the premises. il was
generally agreed that the question in the
location was an abundant supply of
water. While the friends of the Cotton
wood location think there Is no doubt
on this point, the NeoshO adherents,
some Of whom have thoroughly invest
gated the matter. assert there is no doubt
Of an abundant supply, with better
natural filter, at the proposed site.
Amer pretty free exchange Of opinion
Capt. North made the motion that the
whole subject be LEFT with the council,
which motion mayor Gilmore moved to
amend by requesting the council TO To-
cate the works at a point to be selected
ON the Cottonwood between lines paral-
lei with Commercial and West streets.
After further interchange of views the
vote was taken and the amendment was
declared adopted, and the motion as
amended, was carried.
In the remarks there WAS general con-
fidence expressed in the councils fair
ness and honesty in the matter and q
