THE PROPER SOLUTION.

The contracts entered into by the
city council for water pipe and the
laying of the same have been approx
ed by the voters and will be carried
out unless one of two things happens.
First, an effort may be made to pre-
vent the carrying out of the contract
by means of injunction proceedings
in the courts. If this should be ac-
complished the contracts will be null
and void.
Second, the city council and the wa
terworks company may come together
on a proposition that will prove best
for the interests of all concerned.
Mr.. Foster and other prominent citi-.
zens, who advocated the approval of
the contracts at the polls, openly ex-
pressed the hope previous to the cleo
ton that the latter condition would
prevail, and urged the approval of the
contracts because they believed such
action would help the council to bring
about settlement with the water COM
pany. Certain it is that many citizens
voted Eyes" at yesterdays election
because they hoped or believed this
would be the result of sustaining the
contracts. 1t is now to be greatly
hoped that this condition will prevail,
and that the situation will not be fur
ther complicated by injunction pro-
ceedings in the courts.
The discussion incident to the cleo
ton has demonstrated the fact that
the people of Ottumwa are fully
aroused to the necessity of having a
waterworks system, furnishing suffi-
Gent supply of disable water and ade-
quate fire protection. Pure and healthy
water is the first consideration. The
intake must be at point and under
conditions where there will be no dan
ger of contamination.
The situation, as we see it, is this:
In view of the legal complications, the
city cannot now build and own water
works. The water company says it
cannot raise sufficient money to make
the required extensions and improve
ments and at the same time place the
intake above Harrow's branch or, at
Turkey island We want to put this
question before the city council and
the people of Ottumwa for their most
serious and careful consideration: If,
in view of existing legal complica-
lions, an arrangement otherwise salts
factory can be made with the water
company, why not change the plan of
building the baby waterworks" to one
(. OF the city undertaking to establish
an intake at Turkey island and lay
the necessary intake conduit to the
power house? Then tlet the water
company pay the city the interest on
this investment and use its own funds
to go ahead and put in the required
extensions and improvements. This
would give the city pure water sup.
ply, would be investing the taxpayers
money in manner that would prove
OF immense direct and personal value
to every citizen. Then if the time
comes when the city can buy the en-
tire plant it will already own and have
paid for the vitality important intake
works and intake conduit Hindsight
is better than foresight, and it looks to
lie Courier as if here was a magnifi-
cent opportunity for the taxpayers to
get the needed pure water supply and
at the same time get the biggest kind
of value for their money.
