THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE
A Step Taken Last Night Toward the
 Issuance of the Bonds.

There was a meeting of the Citizens sCmmittee at the Hotel Adams last night, the first since the bond election. The object of the meeting was to put the expression of the people at the election into effect as soon as pos sible
 sub- committee was appointed to wait on the council at its earliest meet ing and advise with it regarding the is- suance of the bonds. It was the sense of the meeting that the bonds should be issued at once so that the city may be ready to deal with whom 1t may have to deal without delay.
 Another committee was appointed to go over the plans for a water works system which were prepared at the beginning of the next to the last cam paign. It is possible that changes in the plans may be suggested or may be necessary and it is for that purpose the committee was appointed.
 There was a general discussion of the situation by the general committee. It was the concensus Of opinion that a deal should be made with the Phoenix Water company if possible. The ex- preston of views was very much the same as given out by prominent mem- 0erS or tnC committee III IeCtill lHieI- views published in The Republican. The members believed that it would be bet ter for the city if the private system could he eliminated but they do not believte that the elimination should cost more than the private system Is actually worth.
 There was still another matter under discussion and that was the abrogation Of the contract between the city and the Phoenix Water company on the ground that the latter had already in- validated the contract by its failures to carry out the provisions of its fran chise That step though will not be taken unless negotiations with the water company for the purchase of the plant should not be initiated, or, if in- itiated, should fail.
 The committees appointed for the various purposes will report at al meet ing to be called whenever the reports are ready.

 The service was conducted by Rev. w. H. Bagby, of the Fifth Avenue Christian church. He delivered a short address in which most appropriate ref erence was made to the life and char acter of the mourned, and many pleas ing and comforting thoughts were giv- en expression. Miss Rathbone sang the Sweet Bye and Bye" and other fla vorite selections. At the conclusion of the service a large procession followed the body to Rosedale cemetery where it was tenderly laid to rest baside that of her father. J. l.. Creech, who died about two years ago.

Acquaintance !ipened into closer friendships and at the time of her death and during her extended illness. her condition was not only of fhe deepest concern to her n10ther and other relatives. but hope for her ultimate recovery was generally enter tained. She attended the high school for a short time after coming here and was there held also in the highest esteem. The sympathy of a. host of friends rests with the bereaved mother. brothers and sisters
