water system. These were J. S. Bar
store and heavy property owner, and
ex-Councilman j. z. Smith. Mr.. Bar
rett expressed himself characteristical-
lv, by stating that he thought the coun-
ell was going into the matter blindly.
He predicted that the city would be
thrown into endless litigation.
Ex-Councilman J. z. Smith, while
favoring a better water system, ex-
pressed disapproval at the plan to Sc
cure a source of supply from Mill
creek. Mr.. Smith favors a subterran-
can supply Of water, obtained either
from wells or a series of laterals on
either the Thomas or Harbert place.
His views nave been frequently ex-
pressed in council and at Commercial
club meetings held recently.
Two merchants refused to venture an
had not given the matter sufficient
thought to intelligently decide. Both,
however were of the opinion that the
city needed a more adequate water
system, but as to the best plan to
secure it they offered no suggestions.
Although it is generally conceded
that the use of Mill creek as source
of supply will in measure result in
a decrease in the flow of water and
consequent decrease in the power fur
nished by the stream, Robert E. Allen.
secretary of the Northwestern Gas &
Electric company said he was heartily
in accord with the council on the wa
ter question. even though it would
tend to weaken the power for the
company's Mill creek plant. This was
pointed out to Mr.. Allen, but he re-
piled that all private and personal in
terest should be laid aside in a mat
ter of this kind.
F. s. Dement,, manager of the De-
ment Brothers Milling company, own
ing valuable water rights on Mill
creek, which would probably be affect
ed by using Mill creek as source OF
supply, expressed himself as favoring
the water proposition. "The Dement,
