lists appears to be working all right 50
far. 1t is the unanimous testimony OF
the customs officers at this port that

than under the operation Of Secretary

alton to Solve Question.
The meeting on Monday night Of
the Taxpayers at the court house was
largely attended and demonstrated
once more the great fact that has
made Lamar what she is-thst when
any vital question in regard to the
interest Of the town comes up our
people are q unit. The sentiment
was so overwhelmingly one way that
all opposition faded.
The tests received both from the
railroad and agricultural college
chemists show that the Clay creek
water is better than the water sup
piled to any city in the valley, and
the question is only one Of quantity.
Our people are determined to know
il that supply is sufficient for . city
Of ten thousand inhabitants. II
there is q supply of good water of
that capacity secured, Lamar will
have that population in five years.
The bond issue will not be burden
Is with even five thousand pspuls-
ton the cost of pumping water
would be much larger than the in
terest on the bonds will be, and the
city will reach that size before an
other year passes.
There were no factions in the
meeting on Monday, it was just the
old story of united Lamar, and
that Lamar has always got just
what she went after, don't forget
that.
Colorado is . dry state, and water
is not so easily or SO cheaply OBJ
tanned here as in the east, and for
that reason half Of the cities the
size OF Lamar and larger in the state
are today seriously considering the
question Of water supply. Many Of
them are contemplating much larger
expenditures for an inferior grade Of
water to what the Clay creek project
will cost. The supply there is so
situated that it is entirely Lamar's
own and nothing can intervene to
take it away il once secured. As an
asset Of the town, should the supply
prove as ample IS is generally be-
lisved, it would at low estimate be
worth ten times the amount OF the
bond issue.
The sentiment Of the meeting and
also Of the voters yesterday was q
strong testimonial also of faith in
the city council. It has been the
earnest effort Of Mayor Maxwell and
the members of the council to carry
out the wishes of the people not only
on the water question but all other
questions that have come before
their administration, and every step
in this water matter has been fully
discussed at all times. Any citizen
desiring information could get all
that the board themselves knew BY
