4 Good Record.

Following are u few of the measures
our representative, Hon. Il. l.. Jeffer-
son, originated and put through the
holse. These bills had the support of
Hon. Ed T. Taylor in the senate:
II B lSl White river bridge bill;
$4,000.
II b lH-Snake river bridge bill;
SO 900.
IL b lO3 Steamboat Springs and
Hot Sulphur road; $1,000.
II b 259--Roa from Yampa to VOL
colt; 5000.
II b lOl Appropriation for state
board of health; $500.
The above bills passed both houses.
III b l02-Publc health; IL b 269-
Denver city charter, were put through
the house by Mr.. Jefferson but died in
the senate on the last day.
S b l4s-Smith-Beam game bill,
was carried through the house on the
last day of the session by Mr.. Jefferson.
But the measure of greatest interest
to the people of this county, was Sena-
tor Taylor-s bond refunding bill. This
was also safely engineered through the
house by Mr.. jefferson.
SB l-State road, and S b 203-Bulls
on the range-both by Senator Taylor
had Representative Jefferson's active
support in the house.
In addition to looking after the i'm
diate wants of his constituents, Mr..
jefferson took prominent part in gene
raj legislative proceedings and made a
record for himself of which his con-
stituents can feel justly proud.
Senator Ed Taylor does not belong in
this legislative district, but he looked
after our interests as faithfully as tho
he did.
In addition to getting through mass
of general egislation-beneticia to the
whole state-he is the author of the
bond refunding bill and the measure
known as the "bull bill" Both of these
bills are of great interest to the people
of this county. The latter is given in
full in another column.
The rofunding bill will enable the
county to refund our bonds, which are
now becoming due. at much lower
rate Of interest, thereby lessening taxa
ton, which has become very burden
some.

DECISION OF COURT OF APPEALS STATES
THAT CITY HAS THE RIGHT TO OWN
AND OPERATE ITS wArnRwoRKs.

Among the opinions handed down by
the court Of appeals Monday morning
was one that bears particularly upon the
right of cities to purchase, operate and
own their own waterworks.
The case is that Of Theodore II.
Thomas, assignee, against the city OF
Grand junction. Thomas & Thomas
appeared for the plaintiff and Rogers q
Shafroth and j. 8. Carnahan for the
defendant.
The action was brought to restrain
the city from the issuance OF bonds for
the purpose Of constructing new sys-
tenn of waterworks to supply the city
with water.
The history of the case il that in 1888
the council of that town authorized N.
J. Kruzen and others to construct, oper-
ate and maintain for twenty one years
system OF waterworks. 1t was stipulated
that at the expiration OF ten years the
city was to have the right to buy the
works thus put in at an appraised valu-
alton.
Thereafter Kruxen assigned the fran
chise and all rights in the plant to the
Grand Junction Water company, the
present owner. The waterworks were
accepted by the town in 1889. In 1892
the city declared the franchise forfeited
and the contract rescinded.
In March 1897 an ordinance was pass
ed authorizing the city council to pur-
chase, improve and repair the plant, and
in the event Of failure to do 30 to pro-
ceed to the construction OF system that
should be forever owned by the city.
For this specific purpose the council
was empowered to contract an indebted
ness by issuing bonds to the amount OF
5000.
The ordinance provided that the coun-
Gil should make a tender to the water
company of $4,000. and il this was re-
fuse d the entire amount Of the bonds
was to be used for the construction OF a
new system.
The ordinance WAS submitted to the
voters who were taxpayers and by them
approved. The tender was made to the
water company and refused. At this
juncture came the present litigation.
After citing many authorities bearing
upon the question, the opinion states:
1--WE conclude uuhesitatingly that the
defendant city had and has the right
and power to construct its own water
works system, as it has attempted to
do. Denver Times,

THE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE BILL.

The county legislative bill, which has
passed the Senate, is yet before the House.
where, it is understood. the committee will
report that it ought to pass, with a few
amendments. One Of these amendments re-
duces the number of members of the adj
visory council, and it is entirely satisfac-
tory to the friends of the measure. The
county bin is even more important than is
the township bill, which has become a law.
1t is more important because the powers Of
county commissioner are numerous and in
many respects unlimited. Such boards can
construct courthouses, jails and other pub
lie buildings in spite of the protests of
voters. They are under no legal obligation
to advertise for bidders for public build
ings, bridges, supplies, ETC., as all state
boards are required to do. They have or
claim authority to give franchises to cleo
trio railway companies to occupy count
roads for fifty years, without requiring Of
such companies that they keep them in re-
pair and do nothing to impede travel there
on by those for whom the highways are in
tended, and who pay the cost of maintain
ing them. Either under specific provisions
of the law or by precedent commissioners
make allowances which many times are
kept from the public because they are diff
hcult to explain. In short, the system en-
courages looseness and extravaganza and
makes fraud easy. Most boards are COM
posed of good men, but well-meaning men
are often influenced by the adroit or by
those who assert claims which must be con-
sldered on personal grounds.
A change is needed which'wil relieve men
of a part of such responsibility as now de-
wolves upon county commissioners. The
duty Of these officers should be executive,
and not legislative and executive combined.
They should be put under the same ~restric-
tions as are all other executive officers in
our system of government. In cities mayors
or their subordinates make estimates Of the
money needed for the various branches Of
the city's service, which are submitted to
the city council. but not a dollar can mayor
or subordinate expend until it shall be voted
by the council. The mayor and the COM
mittee recommend tax levies to the coun-
Gil, which the council can accept or reduce,
as it sees fit. The present bill simply pro-
poses to create a legislative body which shall
stand in the same relation to the board of
commissioners that the city council does to
the mayor. Is there anything unreasonable
about this? On the other hand, Is not such
legislation demanded in order that we may
have a complete system of representative
government?
