MONDAY NIGHTS WATER MEET
ING.
Little Interest Shown BY Taxpayers
In Water System.

The attendance at the water and
Gre meeting last Monday night was
very light. Aliho this is matter Of
vast Importance to the citizens and
taxpayers, yet there was not a sutiic-
lent number of taxpayers present TO
transact any business.
After nearly wearing the fire bell
out to attract crowd, Messrs. Nc
Intosh and Marker were about to re-
sign all by themselves, close the plant
down and have nothing more to do
with il, but two or three interested
parties asked that it be continued in
operation if possible and so the pres
ent committee consented to act for
the balance of this month only. At
the end of that time meeting will
be called so that no one can have any
excuse for not knowing of it, and if
this meeting is not attended and a
board Of trustees appointed, the plant
will surely be shut down.
The present committee have not
only given of their time, but have ad
vanced money for gasoline and other
necessary expense. If the taxpayers
and consumers have not interest en-
ough in the matter to attend the
meeting, the committee declare they
will do nothing more with it,
! Pete Haynes was appointed collect
or and given full Instructions to cut
off from the main any who refused To
pay for use of water or any who de-
clared they would not use it.
The water meeting then adjourned
and Fire Chief Wolf called a meeting
/ of the Fire Department to consider
the report of the committee on the
Fireman's dance The report was
that no hall hal been secured, the
committee fndinq that il wonli cost

These beds are to be worked again
