EVERYBODY'S ISSUE
Water Storage the Most Interesting
 In This Community.

Interest in the subject of water stor- tics and the thing most talked about yesterday was the call of tax payers, water users and board of trade men fog a mass meeting at Doris theatre o:t August 31. to give the subject of per manent water supply intelligent ami earnest discussion. It is the general opinion now that the movement started by The FepubIican more than a month ago will te followed by d definite result and that the agitation which has been going on ever since will be kept up un- Til the water question shall be solved in some way. As to the desira bili.ty of the end there IS no division of opinion. There is a dispute only about the ways and means and even this will vanish when men If different but fair and in telligent minds get together and talk it over. The signers of the call embrace a variety of opinion. Many of them be- lieve The Republicans plan to be thc most direct and feasibl other siSTera favor the bonding of the county for ai amount sufficient to construct the res ervoir: sill others favor the plan f yearly assessments. but none of them desire to wait for gov rnment aid. Tn agitation so far has had the effec, of showing that no help need be looked for from that source in time to do anybody now in ,he Salt River valley any good.
 Out. of all these opinions rollad in-o one. something may be confidently eX> Pected.
