estimated that Il would certainly cost
more than $500 for such a project The
idea Of anopen. diluh was not feasable
l'ed'si-e the er0afid was 40 shallow
and graveily that tise water would all
sink away amt the tielzens at the low
VI end nf tewn would get no benefit
from lt ft y a Gssned all the way
itwould be all the dime leaking. an
annoy ance tAsE ,x0uld be worse than
no water EurtHsrsit was only di-
rect Aenefit tn 8 lew and not to the
whole town. ~. w. Gordon made
some pertinent rsniarks on the propo-
sItian. partly in reply tn what Mr..
Crews had said. esaid he WAS heart

essary 10 the people nf.the lower end of
toWt.s Many Of them lad spent con-
fsiitisAIe ,.lorey ii tsautifying their
liaf.es with iSice lnwhya and they didn't
want To see them die after all the labor
alidsexpeiise to which they had gone.
Last summer they barely had enough
water 70 keep their lawils alive. and
tiiis summer from present indications
it4ooked Ms though it wruld be worse.
The cost had been fairly estimated and
other towns hnd run such fl umes and
had found t1iehl big advertisement.
p. 5. Nc Crea spoke next. sHe said he
was in favor oft but looked upon the
proposition much ns Mr. Crews did.
The only way that he coul zee in
which iLcould he. safely done was by
means ota pips line. Tne fl ume wonld
leak and be continual source of
trouble. IL wouldn't benefit the hill
in the least and besides he wanted to
know where the revenue wa n0sfiing
from togniaintain it. Little had been
said tahin about the prejsct and moth
ing as to the prncess of building and
maintenairce. IT seemed uncertain to
him as yet. Dr. M1srr rose agaln. He
said the esthnatef Esst given by him
,ef ire WAS made OH the basis of rim
ming flame die whole distance bdt
yet he did not see why the water could
nut be tun furs lsilcl, Of the distance IN
an ope j ditch. a finme could tie made
that would not leak. He said the
private tlume used by he AIessrs Croc-
kers aud hiiiisef did not leak and he
also cited the mill flume as an instance
lofIhe sanle. The cost Of maintenance
would he slight. He aud the Messrs
Crockers would agree to niaiut,,ins it,
for a part of the distance ami all had
heard the offer of Lewis Hunter for
himself and Others. Martin Thomas
| wanted to know how the residents
water from the fiume. DR. Moser ans
| wered by saying that as every block
tIshada fall of feet or thereabouts in
|ortier 10 get water on any lot it would
be ntcessary to go up the fune
distance OF two lots or more insert IA
lateral pipe and bring it to the highest
part of tile lot to be irrigated and in
trAhis way the water could be led 70
every part ot 1T. G. M. Keep remarked
That as 70 It's be;ietiting tue lower end
OF the etownanIy ,.tllat it would also
tbsntHt the upper portion for there
would not Ue so much demand on the
i0lds system which would give that
much more water4to be used on the.

and benefited and part Of The town
added that n,nsIi more value 10 other
parts. The discussion was rl,vn brouht
