Every step that council has taken
in the mountain water matter has
been a guarded one. They have had
to fight their way through several
combinations and they now see their
way clearly to strike to thwart those
who have attempted to secure condi-
ions favorable to their own projects.
The contract, if contract be made for
the construction of the mountain
water system will be made in the open
and not until a general advertise
ment is made granting opportunity to
all persons to bid on the construc-
tion. This the council is determined
upon. We prefer to wait year, If it is
necessary, so that the council obtains
what is just and right. The charge
made several times that the council
is a set of grafters might well be
changed that a set of grafters. desir-
ing special and preferred privileges,
is attempting to work council. They
cry stop thief, in order that they may
not be discovered in their efforts
themselves The public need not be
alarmed, however, as the council
don't propose to be worked by inside
or outside grafters and because of
this determination the delay has oc-
Cured.

The mountain water system of this
city has been held up by the conniy-
ance of few people, who thought
thereby they might be given special
privileges. The suit brought by DR..
f. f. Eldridge, was simply for the
purpose of gaining time. AS we
stated in the beginning DIR. f. f. Ed
ridge has never been regarded as a
principal in the suit and We MAINTAIN
that position stronger than ever. The
council has been harassed and the
desire of the people thwarted that
some one might gain special privileg-
es. We have the statement of a very
closely interested party with the op-
position that, If certain conditions
should prevail, the suit would be
withdrawn at once. These conditions
perhaps were that some one of the
contractors should be preferred over
others.

TEN. The reason assigned was that
they had had an adverse opinion up
on the validity of the bonds by their
attorney. In fairness TO the public
that firm should state the reasons of
their attorney and also state who the
attorney was who made the statement
on the character of the bonds. When
they ithdrew their bid on the bonds
they cast reflection upon those bonds
and the attorneys of this city, who
have advised the council upon their
absolute legality. The attorney OF
the special water committee OF coun-
ell asserts that those bonds are legal
in every sense of the word. The
Ramey- Udlock people may be entire
ly honest in their statement on the
bond issue, which they state has come
from their attorney, but they Will
have very hard work to convince
council that the bonds are not valid
in every particular. So far as the
writer is concerned, he does not be-
lieve that the bonds are invalid and
he asserts openly that their are other
reasons governing, which in due time
will be given to the public.

constant subject of conversation be
tween merchants and citizens, who
see how greatly is the need of paw
ed main thoroughfare in this city. A
material which has come to have
much favor in the past ten years is
yitrified brick. j. c. Plank, mem
ber of the Chamber of Commerce,
has placed in the hands of the writer
a copy of a paper printed in town
in Minnesota, of corresponding size
with Grand junction. A paving con-
tract had been completed in that
city and the cost for ten squares of
paved streets, of vitrifed brick. was
approximately $22, 900. The paper
in making comment upon the finish
ing of the paving did not state how
wide the street was, but it is suppos-
ed that it was of ordinary width. In
all probability paving could not be
done so cheaply in this section as in
the older sections of the country, but
even adding ten per cent to that cost,
it would not make the cost so very
high. Sooner or later the problem
will have to be solved. very soon, if
climatic conditions continue the same
as they have been for several years
past. The sooner it is done the bet
ter for everybody and for the city
generally.
