POLITICS IN SELMA
STRENUOUS WEEK IN THE GEN.
 TRIAL CITY.
Interest shifts from County and State Anairs to the Proposition for Purchase of the Water
 Works Plant.
Advertiser Bureau,
 GnInnn ANnrnln 1A


 rrhis has been a strenuous week in poiitical matters. The week opened with the county primaries as the cen- lar of action. This was caused by an insinuatiop that there was graft ohout certain items of the county's ar . fairs as they were pP@Rted in the last Gnarterlv statement. But this matter was apparently settled to the satistac- tion of all before half of the week had Towards the latter end of the week tbe scenes shifted and the acts or the noIiticaI play were changed. The cpourtv nrirnaries were relegated to the hacEground, and the proposed issue or Si50 800 worth of bonds by the city or Selma for the purchase of the water H,orIes plant or to build new plant has been fine theme of contention. The lo- cei nspers have teemed with commu- nieations on this subject ana many important questions about the matter have been asked ,.,,.
 Replies to these communieatlons nave been made by Mayor Atkins and Chair man C3rayson of the special committee of the City Council who nave arranged fine matter of the water works ques- lion and bond issue so far. Botn nave done their utmost to assure the people that they are using their best endeaV- ors for the good of the city.
 The communications relating to this question that so far have been pup llshsd want to know if the bond issue

the Council, if the present water works plant is secured by purchase or a new one constructed, 1t will be man aged by a commission similar 10 tns present sinking fund commission, ana that the water works plant Will pc bonded, and not the city, and Will not cause the property owners or tax pay CTS to pay out cent more for taxes.
 Mayor Atkins says. without making any quotations from the report or thinks the sum of $100,000 would erect a new plant. From this 1t is gathered that the present company desires more than that amount for it's plant ana if an agreeable amount, slightly over $10O, 900 can be agreed upon, the city would benefit by purchasing at even a slight advance over what 1t IS ac- tually worth, rather than to go to the trouble of constructing Q new water works system for the city. He also as- sures the citizens that not over cent of the bond issue shall DC used than the price paid for the purchase or the present plant or for the erection or new plant. The City Council will hold it's regu. lar monthly meeting Monday night and it is thought that Tuesday the figures for the purchase of the pres- ent plant will be given out by those who have the matter in charge.
