the other members OF the council had
given the water question much study !,

years thrt new supply was neccs-
sary, and tina the cost would be from
81 900 to 100000; that while the

penditure of $4,000, and the cost
should be kept down to 100000. at
the same time the work OF securing
good and sufficient supply should
not be hampered by the lack or few
thousand dollars. NE believed the
council to be elected this spring and
having charge OF the matter would
be Just as honest and economical with
$I50.000 bonds voted as with less
sum.
These sentiments were voiced by
every one OF the aldermen. At the
present time there are $4,000 OF un.
used bonds voted to extend the water
mains in the city, and no evil effects
Lad arisen from it. It would only

and for this reason 1t was unanimous.
iy decided to allow the matter 70
stand as 1t is, leaving the taxpayers
to decide II they desire change IN

The mayor thought 100000 would
be ample to make the proposed i'm
prove;nents but asr.ed with the coun
ell that no harm could result from tht
proposed issue, and favored the prop
osition.
II is certain that Durango must soof
face the inevitable. and there is nl
better time than now. The new sys

The cost very small. while increased
