Pledges Are Kept.


Last spring when the campaign was
opened and the business men and
friends Of good government set out to
overthrow the administration which
had been injuring the good name and
credit Of Abilene certain promises
were made
E. Among these was one that the water
works question which had vexed the
city and caused hard feelings and much
anxiety for years should be settled
bonorsbly and fairly.
Another was that there should be no
more temporizing or encouragement of
violation Of law.
The REFLECTOR wishes to call the
attention Of the citizens Of this city to
the fact that these pledges have been
kept.
The waterworks question has been
settled hororably, fairly and TO the
satisfaction OF every friend Of the city.
A grievous bone Of contention has
been disposed OF and Abilene is in a
condition to go forward In prosperity.
The question which the old admins.
tration showed itself incompetent or
unwilling TO settle has been arranged.
While 1t is true that had the preced-
ing administration had the will to have
made the proper contract two years
ago oil this trouble would have been
saved and had 1t not In It's dying hours
expended half the city's surplus by
