the Legislature, to dictate to us how we shall proceed in this investga- tion.
 'Just as soon as we can do so we will file our report and all the evidence we take in the investiga tion, at which time same will be- come public property and subject to criticism. Until such time we sincerely hope the press will with hold criticism of the committees and permit us to continue our in- vestigation in our own way and fin ally to make our report, without feeling ourselves and without giv- ing the public any cause to suspect that possibly the actions of the com- mittee or any member thereof has been actuated or governed by his or their resentment of any newspaper critisicm
 However, we are subject to the order of the General Assembly, and we now call upon the House to either approve our action or direct us in what manner we shall pro- ceed in the future.'

Commissioners Appointed At Mass Meeting Made Rapid Strides During The Past Week.
District Petition-COm. missioner Says Water and Light Company Is Working to Defeat Mu. nicipal Ownership Plan.

The commissioners selected at the recent mass meeting held at the court house to discuss the local water ques- tion, consisting of A. Brewster, J. r. Simmons, D. B. Bloom, w. N. Tru- look and Judge James Gould, to take necessary steps looking to purchasing or establishing waterworks and light plant in this city have made rapid strides during the past week toward the successful continuation of the movement to secure the much de- sired and badly needed plant in Pine Bluff.
 The special bill to be presented to
 the legislature has been carefully drawn by Attorneys Austin and Dan- aher, and On Friday the commissioners started out to obtain the signatures of a majority in value of property own- CTS in the city, and many names have already been signed to the petition to be presented to the city council pray ing for the formation of an improve ment district embracing the whole of the city of Pine Bluff, to bring about the immediate establishment of a wa ter and light plant which will meet every emergency.
 With but two or three exceptions, every property owner to whom the De- tltion was presented, cheerfully signed 1t and from the expressions heard, the commissioners are of the opinion that within two of three weeks the de- sired number will be obtained.
 The commissioners say that there is of course, occasional expression of opposition to the municipal ownership idea. 4
 AS was expected" said one of the commissioners last night, 'the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company is doing what it can, through it's friends to discourage this movement, but this is in no way affecting the success of work of the commissioners. Almost before the good people realize it, all necessary steps will have been com pleted and Pine Bluff will, ofter suffer- ing many years for the lack of one will have a water and light plant in the city that will save the city thou cands of dollars annually in the way of water rates, and benefit it in many other ways"
