No member of the present city
council claims to be a hydraulic en-
gineer or a w~aterworks expert, and
neither o the Record make any
pretensions of special knowledge on
the subject. We propose, however,
to present the matter as it appears
from the material at hand, and invite
experts, If any there be in Roswell,
to discuss the technical details.
The city of Roswell needed a water
works system for fire protection. The
mayor and council reached the con-
clusion, on the advice of the city at
torney that bonds sufficient for build
ing the plant could not be legally is
sued. Then came an application from
a private corporation for a franchise.
The councilmen were not posted as
to rates and many other matters re
lating to such a contract They secur-
ed copies OF the ordinances of other
cities, and after comparison, succeed
ed in getting hover rates than are
paid at Trinidad, Albuquerque and
other southwestern towns. These
rates will be discussed at greater
length later.
The fact that i'm the greater part

pany. 1t is now up to the people to
accept OF reject the franchise
The mayor and council have done
the best they could, and all they
could, in the matter, and every man
of them is glad hat the responsible
ty of the final decision is entirely in
the hands of the people. If a mistake
be made the people will have only
themselves to blame. They must
study the situation thoroughly and
depend upon their own wisdom for
a solution.
The administration has no desire
to force the franchise on the city. 1t
merely secured an offer and reported
the same to the people in proper
form to be voted upon.
Come let us eason together. The
Record stands ready to aid in reach
ing a decision by publishing your
views as well as it's own.

GAYLE.

h announcement of F. P. Gayle
as a candidate for reelection to he
office of Probate Clerk and Recorder
was published in Saturdays issue. If
special qualifications cut any figure,
and they certainly should, Neighbor
Gayle is probably the best man in
Chaves county for the Office which
he seeks. He is one of the first set
tiers in Roswell, his residence being
the second one occupied on the
timers, and has made riends of me
new Corners as fast as they arrive.
For twelve years he has been in the
Office of Probate Clerk, and at each
succeeding election has led his ticket
after being nominated in the prima-
ries without opposition.
Born of a family of statesmen and
soldiers in Alabama, ne carries the
air and breeding of a Southern gen
'tleman. No man can complain of the
smallest lack of courtesy in the office
of Probate Clerk in all the time that
Neighbor Gayle has been serving the
county. AS a young man he was for
many years engaged in bookkeeping
here and elsewhere, and the books
in the Clerks Office are models of
neatness and accuracy. Any matter
of public interest in the Office can
De referred to upon a moments no.
tice-and what is more, Neighbor
Gayle is always ready and willing to
assist any citizen by furnishing in
formation from his office. The Record
has many times been placed under
obligation to him for facts and fig
ures, and nearly every day he furn-
ishes our reporter with a complete
list of realty transfers. He regards
his office as one Of service to the
public and not as a piece of personal
property to be USED for his own profit
alone. He is never too busy to cheer
fully and c~ourteously perform any
within his power and juris-
1t is generally believed that
Neighbor Gayle will have no opposi-
ton in the Democratic primaries
and it goes without saying that the
can't beat him. He is
not entangled in any of the factional
fights of either city or county. and
viii if re-nominated receive the solid
vote.

1t is generally acknowledged that
Judge Bateman is now the big chief
in the Democratic party of Roswell,
and many people believe hat he will
control the next city administration
but the Record is assured that all of
Judge Bateman's efforts will BIZ in the
direction of restoring harmony in the
Democratic party of the city and
county, n purging the organization
of Republican influences. He does not
desire the city attorneyship nor any
other Office. He recognizes the fact
that the Democratic party cannot be
bossed, and has no ambitions in that
direction.

The Record has observed that in
politics the very best men usually
have the bitterest enemies. The man
to say never to much. There
is Judge Richardson and Mayor Hin
kle, for instance. Both of them are
"cussed" more than any other men
in town, and they don't even like
each other-but they have also the
most loyal friends, and in their diff
whole community may well be proud.

1t is now ser that the passage
of the Scott resolution in the Demo
cratic city convention was not so
much a victory for the administration
forces as it was a piece of smooth
politics. on the part of the new lead
ership. 1t is said that Mr.. Bateman
was in favor Of even a stronger dec
laration-that in fact it was well un-
derstood there would be a split unless
some concession was made to the de
feated faction, and sc it was deemed
best to allow them to write the plat
form, in the interest of harmony.
