While I feel certain the city can
build a better plant for less money,
yet it is worth something to get the
old company out of the way and have
a clear field for the municipal plant.
After paying this figure for the pres
ent plant the city will still have about
$4,000 of water works money with
which to improve the plant and put it
into fair condition. The plant will
then be a source of revenue instead of
a vast expense"
What if the Water Company re-

The proposition is too preposterous to
consider.
This matter should be brought to
a head. 1t has been delayed too long
already. If we have TO build a new
waterworks plant we should do so at
once for several reasons. One reason
is the pipes should be laid before the
streets are paved; another reason IS
our new sewer system is of no use
without water; another reason is the
need of better fire protection. An
other reason is, the people should have
a reasonable water rate"
1T is not commended, If the city
builds a new waterworks plant, that
the old company will probably reduce
the water rate to 10 or Is cents a
thousand gallons and thus prevent
the new plant from becoming a paying

Sentaru's eye. for he put down the
truck and turned back to get it. He
was observed Juggling at the timber,
which he finally released. Then the
chute began to fall outwards and he
dropped the timber and ran. He was
not quite fast enough, however, the
