Our Arteslan Wen.

We chanced to be present on last
Monday night at the regular meeting
of the City Council when the artesiaa
well question came up, and We are
glad to report that there is no dis
position upon the part OF that bo ly
to give over the job. Notwithstan J.
ing all former efforts up to this time
have been abortive the work will be
renewed as soon as new contract
can be made with some competent
person. Mr. Rogers, the former
contractor, sent in bid on last Mon
day night again for the contract, but
1t was promptly rejected. The City
Council expressed themselves as
tired of day labor IN sinking this
well and proposed either to employ
some one to take the contract and
complete it for given sum, or else
employ some one whose per diem
would not be so great In the bid
tor the work made by Mr.. Rogers,
he proposed that he would under
take it again if the City Council
would furnish board and pay hiiA at
the rates of $500 per day in the
event he succeeded in getting water,
and i'll case of another failure he
should only receive Sl.00 per day
and board. 1t is but justice to the
parties to state that aldermen james
and Roberts voted to accept the pro
position of Mr.. Rogers, but it was
lost by one vote, the mayor casting
the deciding vote against it. SO faa
as Mr.. Rogers is Concerned, we fee
sorry that he did not get the Job, but
at the same time we do not wish tC
be understood as rejecting upon The
wisdom of the City Council, for it i.
they who must account to the people
for their work and not we. We be
lieve, however, that Mr.. Rogers i,
fully competent to do the work, anC
that any other man under simila
circumstances wO,dd have met will
failure and disappointment. w
shall always admire the patience an,
heroism displayed by Mr.. Rogers i
| this work, and we shall not cease +
wish for him success and prosperitv
But in no event let The City Counci
think of giving UP The work. w
have the engine, the pump the pir
ing and everything else needfuf fo
ITS construction, and our people Al
not willing that it should be . failur,
