nv a vote Of two to eight the CITY
Council Monday night passed reso-
luton calling for special election 70
be called in fifteen days, for the pur.
nose of voting on the issuance OF
"a 900 at six per cent per annunl.
The ballots are to be marked For
iss,,ing bonds" and AGAINST issuing
bonds.'' In case such bonds can pc
sold for five per cent the city Will
have the extra one per cent as
premium.
Aldermen Scofeld, vandenoeyer'
Botz, Smart, Reed, Spath, Anderson.
and Hendrickson voted in favor OF
the resolution, and Aldermen Grimm
and Prescott voted against 1T. Tnese
aldermen still believe that the Mlnot
water system should be enlarged and
controlled by a private concern, pe-
cause they think the city rs not IN
a proper financial condition to handle
the proposition. Ten of the aldermen
were of the same opinion until re-
Gently, but a proposition has come
up before them which may be good
one and which will cost considerable
less than anticipated.
Some time ago the city voted
$4,000 in bonds for waterWoks par-
noses, and we understand that THIS
amount can be checked out in war
rants for this purpose. With the ad'
ditional $4,000, providing the new
proposition carries, there will be more
than $4,000 available.
The mains are to be laid by special
assessment. A committee composed
of Aldermen Smart, Anderson and
Spath have decided that ample funds
are available for the city to build and
operate its own plant, pumping sta
tion and water tower.
The 1000 represents the special
debt limit of four per cent OF the
assessed valuation The city has al
ready issued $4,000 on bonds for
waterworks, but as the assessed valu
alton ia over a million and half dol
lars, there can still be issued $4,000

expert hydraulic engineer, was at the
meeting and made a lengthy talk on
waterworks systems in general. he
Is a contractor and wishes to make
the city a proposition whereby they
could own an up-to-date waterworks
system after few years, but he de
sired to lay it. He explained the var
ious kinds of filters and said the SAND
filter. through which the water ];
forced upwards, is the best. It IS thu
most easily cleaned, and the filtration
is always done more quickly and more
thoroughly.

There are several shallow gas wells
near Westhope which give a good
steady supply of gas. The power for
the drills is furnished by steam en-.

gas taken from these wells. Sew

their homes where it is used for light
ing and heating purposes.

A PATHETIC CASE.

There is something very pathetic in
the death Of the Rev. William A. Fraser,
pastor Of the Presbyterian church at
tsmniteviile, over and above the fact that
he died in the far West, away from
home, relatives and church associates.
il is that his career in the pastoral
capacity was cut on inst at the time
when il seemed about % produce album
dant good. Although he had been with
the Graniteyille church only few
months, he was giving promise Of great
and good results. And now to have that
course cut off, Il Is indeed pathetic.
The church which has thus lost its loved
leader has general sympathy.
