WHICH,?

There are, by actual count. 572
dwelling houses in Corvallis; be-
sides the suburbs. Payment of the
bonds does not begin until after
seven years. How many more
houses and correspondingly, how
many more water consumers will
Corvallis have by that time? After
seven years, $225o of principal of
the bonds will be paid each year,
which will every year reduce the
interest expense. All this time,
Corvallis will grow larger and
larger. What a fine chance
will there be for the mountain wat
er not only to pay its way, but te
become a splendid investment
Would those who knock, rather
have this coming increment TO

poration, or have it divided among
Corvallis people?

CAN'T FOOL THEM.

Jobs addition people are told by
the masked gang that runs the ''In-
stigator' that, if mountain water
works be built, they will be COM
PEELED to build lateral sewers and
be forced to take water for flushing
purposes. What noble argument!
What a lofty discussion of the wat
er question!
Why would mountain water any
more than a mountain mule cause
the city council to force jobs ad-
ditioners to build lateral sewers
especially if Jobs additioners didn't
want lateral sewers? Except in
extraordinary cases where espec-
tally necessary, is it not the custom
of the council only to have 1aterals
built where majority Of property
owners petition for them?
Besides, how could Jobs ad-
ditioners be forced to build sewer
1aterals when there is no main sew
er for them to attach to? Indeed,
they can never get main in the
addition until new one is built
from the Willamette for the Van
Buren main is already too near
the surface to be possible of further
extension. If the council attempt
ed to build such a sewer main, any
Job IS additioner that didn't want
it, could stop it just as the enjoin-
ers stopped the city from paying
for the preliminary survey and TN
til such a main is constructed no
lateral sewer could be ordered by
the council to be built in Jobs ad-
dition.
The people of Jobs addition are
laughing at the thin attempt of the
dark lantern crowd to fool them
with scarecrow.
