Referee Court.
ALvA ADAMS.

Referee court convened at
Bruce's hall in Paonia Wednes-
day Jan. 8, 1906. Testimony was
taken in the case of E. P. Martin
ct al. VS.. the town of Paonia.
Judge Dean presided and Hon.
John c. Bell appeared for plaint-
ifs.
Attorneys M. D. Vincent and
Goudy & Twitchell represented
the town.
The plaintiffs claim the right
by prior appropriation to use tor
domestic purposes part of the
water from Lucas creek during
the non irrigation season from
November l, to April 10, of each
year. The town has diverted the
entire flow of Lucas creek springs
claiming by purchase from the
original appropriations for irriga-
ton purposes and the water is
now used for domestic and other
needs by the citizens of the town
and the neighboring country.
Many witnesses were examined
and while the testimony was con-
fiicting in some respects it was
generally admitted that petition
ers had used the water to cer-
tain extent as alleged in their
complaint. The defense insists
that the alleged use was not suf-
ficient to acquire any legal rights
to the water. The plaintiffs of
fered to accept two statutory
inches of water in full settlement
while the town offered to con-
tribute $1,000 toward building a
pipe line to Stewart mesa and
allow the people to take water on
the same terms as others pay. It
would be much better for all con-
cerned if an honorable settlement
could be effected as there is no
doubt that the cost of the case
will far exceed the amount in dis
pute.

FRANCHISE QUESTION.

AT the Tuesday evening meet
ing of the town council the fran
chise proposition was laid over
till Friday evening to be con-
sidered in special session. At the
mass meeting held last Saturday
evening a large and representa-
tive crowd were in attendance and
after considerable discussion, a
vote was taken resulting in 33
against granting a franchise and
IL expressing themselves in favor
of doing so. In our opinion that
is about the ratio that would be
found in the ballot box were the
matter submitted to the tax
payers.
In this weeks Gazette we note
that Bro. Frederick thinks there
are some who desire to freeze Mr..
Beezley out. We think this is a
mistake. Mr.. Beczley at one
time desired to sell his plant He
was SO insistent that he closed it
down to coerce the council into
taking immediate action. They
accepted his expressed desire, ap-
pointed a committee to assist in
taking an invoice and Mr.. Beezley
very soon thereafter changed his
mind. If he desires to sell his
plant there is not doubt that he
could do so to the city. The
present efforts, not only of Mr..
Beezley, but his friends, are along
the line of getting franchise.
They will not take any notice of
the fact that the people voted ad-
versely on the proposition last
spring. They will not submit the
matter to the people again. They
simply demand franchise of the
council, asking them to ignore the
people. .
1t is our belief that this will
not be done. The council are
fully advised and are men of such
prominence and public spirit that
we feel safe in saying that they
will grant no franchise of any
sort. Paonia is for municipal
ownership, and at the spring
election will vote to place in the
hands of the council sufficient
funds to either buy the present
plant or erect one. And the
council will try to buy the present
one, as they have been doing.
They cannot force the present
owner to sell if they wanted to.
He must settle that question for
himself
The tention Of the Booster
that the town can get the plant
back whenever it wants it is like
many other arguments of the
Booster. misleading. The tran
chise once granted stands abso-
Lutte for ten years. during which
time the town by reason OF losing
the revenue that belongs to it,
becomes less and less able to buy.
If the possession of the plant is
desirable ten years hence it is
equally desirable now. The
The newspaper., 1906-01-05

Booster claims there is no an
alogy between the water plant
and its success and the proposed
municipal light plant. 1t re-
quires very discerning mind to
see a difference. Both are neces-
sary monopolies. Both compel
the patronage of the people.
Both return certain and large
revenues.
The claim that the city cannot
sell electricity off the town site IS
simply rot. We are selling water
off the town site and able at
torneys claim we are doing so in
absolute conformity to law. How
much easier we can sell electricity
by delivering the force at the
corporation line to wire privately
owned? There is no question of
supply to consider. We do not
have to cinch the outside user up
in a contract to let go at any time
that the town is unable longer to
supply them. The electric ques
ton does not offer half the OBJ
stacles for solution that the water
question did and we have solved
most of those troubles already.
1t is true that the country peo-
Pile are interested. The majority
OF them are very anxious for the
city to own the plant, because
they know that they will get their
lights cheaper and with more
satisfactory service if the city
owns the plant.
The Booster gravely asserts
that they do not believe there is
very much money in the plant as
proposed under the Beezley fran
chIse. AS has been previously
shown in these columns the be-
liets of the Booster are usually
subject to material revision. They
will have to secure much evidence
before they can prove to the
satisfaction OF the people that
such extraordinary efforts as are
being made by the franchise ap-
plicants are made solely for the
purpose OF assisting the city to
save money.
Since this agitation began the
price of franchises has gone up in
Paonia. A month or two ago a
legal gentleman told the council
that franchise was not worth
anything and should be granted
tor the asking. The council
could not agree and turned down
their modest request. Now they
consider it worth Sl,500 and Of
fer that sum for what was worth
nothing last November. THE
NEWSPAPER respectfully submits
that it is probable that in two
months more the price may be
higher still. We are informed
that the price has been advanced
$500 since the proposition was
last published in the Gazette. II
would be absolute folly to hastily
sell on such rapidly rising mar
ket. we should deliberate on
this matter at least till the spring
election. AT this time the peo-
pie can be given opportunity to
express themselves as for or
against.

An Interesting Meeting.

Last Friday eve ning the ladies'
of the Woman's Club gave their
third annual reception at Bruce
hall. Invitations had been is
sued to friends of the club mem
bers and a goodly number were
present. The ladies are studying
Japan this year, hence everything
partook of Oriental sPlendor.
The hall was most tastefully dec
grated with Japanese flags, Ian
terms and blossom laden branches
from the beloved cherry tree of
the Japanese. and each guest was
presented with a handsome bo-
quet of chrysanthemums. AL
together the hall was a bower of
beauty and bloom.
The following excellent pro-
gramme was rendered, each num-

preciated and repeatedly encored.

After the program was COM
pleted the chairs were withdrawn
and dainty appointed tables
quickly appeared as if by magic,
and soon a happy company OF
one hundred was discussing a
most delectable luncheon, ad-
mirably served by numerous Japa-
nese maidens, who spoke most
excellent English despite their
undisputable Japanese appear
ance.
In an Oriental corner two high
cast Japanese ladies served truly
Japanese tea, to all who appreciate
the cup that cheers but does not
inebriate."
After lunch a pleasant social
hour was spent during which
time the ladies quartette was
called upon for another number,
whereupon they responded with
most "rousing" chorus. The
male quartette also gave an
equally lively number, after which
the good nights were said and
the company departed feeling
that they had passed one more
mile stone in life's pleasures, and
wishing the Woman's Club of Po-
onia a most prosperous year.
