The growers could well AFFORD to
go to Fort Collins. pay the railroad

penses; but by these local meetings
they are saved the large expense. and
it Is only asked that they guarantee

liver said bonds to said Splitter &

Careful Investigation.
Alderman Hertz of the finance
committee announced that the COM
mittee had corresponded with over
20 firms regarding the placing OF
the bonds and found that Spitzer &
Company's proposition was the best.
There 10 no question as to the relia-
bility of the firm.
Alderman Matthews raised the
question as to whether IL would not
be best to hold this extension work
over until a mountain water system
could be installed.
Mayor Wentworth explained that
the immediate extension of the wat
err system is ABSOLUTELY neces-
sary, and that there was no probable
ity OF work starting on a mountain
water system under any circumstan-
ces for a number of months and such
a. system could not be completed
within less time than or 10 months.
II there Is a delay In the extension
of the system there will be an insult
ficiency of water this summer.
SIocomb Asks Question.
Mayor Wentworth extended an in
vitation to any citizen present to say
anything he desired on this matter
Of a bond issue. Mr.. e. M. Slocomb
asked: "If this extension proposition
goes through. will 1t prove detrimen-
tai to the mountain water system?"
mo. In my Judgment 1t will
not" replied the mayor.
Alderman Davies stated that the
only extra expense connected with
installing the mountain water sys-
tenn after this extension had been
made would be the relaying of the
pipes outside of the city limits and
this would be necessary only II the
entire plan of securing water from
Hannah creek was changed.
Speaks Well of the Town.
Mr.. Splitter, one of the members
of the firm of Splitter G. Company,
who has been here for several days,
addressed the councii regarding the
bond issue, and incidentally made
some very interesting and pertinent
remarks regarding the present finan-
cIal situation of the country and the
prosperous appearance OF Grand
Junction. He stated that at present
it was very difficult to place bonds;
many firms are not buying at this
time; many cities are having trouble
In issuing and placing bonds. In
terest rates are higher than for a
long time. However. he. as a rep
resentative of Splitter & Company
had found conditions better than he
had expected. He expressed himself
as being well pleased with Grand
Junction, Its resources and Its fu-
ture.

Forty Citizens League Members Call Council and Demand Revoca Of Saloon
icenseCom Issue $4,000 Bonds-Ful Details ofIvey Meeting

One of the most sensational
speeches ever made in the city hall
of Grand Junction was delivered last
night at the regular session of the
city council by Alderman NJ. Hertz,
in discussing the Palmer Park prop
osition. He paid his respects in no
uncertain way to the Chamber of
Commerce and to certain efforts be-
ing made by some of the church peo-
pie. 1t was a fiery address and at
the same time 1t was characterized
by sincerity, and 1t cannot be gain
said that Alderman Hertz gave ex-
preston to not a few very pointed
truths. There Is one thing certain:
no one can accuse Alderman Hertz
of being afraid to say what he thinks.
and he does not care rap who takes
exceptions to what he says. While
many of the statements he made are
not endorsed by all: still, on the 9TH
er hand, many of the statements to
which he gave expression are en-
dorsed and believed to be true by
gre;.t many people.
Alderman Hertz made 1t pretty
warm for some people, and his ad-
dress has been one of the leading
subjects of comment on the streets
and in the business houses of the
city today.
One of the leading charges made
by Alderman Hertz is that there is
an 'inner circle" in the Grand juno
tion Chamber of Commerce, which
under the cover of promoting
schemes for the good of the whole
community, is really devoting the
most OF its time to furthering the
private and selfish interests of the
members of the ''inner circle"
All Were Present.
When Mayor Wentworth called
the council to order few minutes
past o'clock every alderman was
at his desk.
The reading of the minutes by
City Clerk Conley occupied some
time.
Petitions were then called for.
Smith Wants Water.
George Smith asked for permis-
sion to tap water main on Struth-
ers avenue for n new house. Re-

airy and Twelfth street as the eastern

for report at later meeting.
A Much Needed Improvement.
At this point the regular order OF
business was dispensed with and the
council took up a report made by
the finance committee regarding the
placing of $4,000 In bonds for the
purpose of providing for the exten
sion of the city water works SO al

mately $2s6.OOO,o0O. substantially
one-tenth of the entire estimated
money circulation of the country.
The secretary defends the issue of
Panama bonds and treasury certifi-
Gates by saying that 1t was advisable
to take some strong resolute step to
convince the public. both at home
and abroad. that the government
was thoroughly alive to the situation
and was determined to give its aid
In every possible legal and proper
form.
Concerning the distribution of the
public moneys throughout the coun-
try the secretary says that this is
done without regard to partisanship
and that no section has received 9TH
er than fair and impartial considera-
ton to which 1t is entitled.
The report hints at possible
treasury deficit At the close Of the
current year.. due to the. heavy fall
ing on in customs revenue receipts.
