AS we have stated our position editori-
ally, it is unnecessary to comment on
the resolution. We have crowded out
much interesting mining news to give
prominence. on the front page of the
Times, to the resolution in order that
everyone may become familiar with the
facts and judge for themselves as to what
is best. 1t is impossible for all to az rec,
but it is not impossible for all to join in
making a success of whatever plan is
adopted to secure waterworks at the
earliest possible moment. We have faith
in the good judgment of the taxpayers
of this city and believe that a large
majority of them will aid in securing
those improvements that are necessary
to the continued growth and prosperity
of our city. After vetoing the resolution
Mayor Smith called a meeting of citizens
at the council chamber yesterday at ten
O'Clock and the sentiments expressed
there were favorable to the immediate
adoption of resolution providing for
the issuance of bonds to the amount of
SIS, 600 and the building of waterw orks
by the city. Those present at the n eet-
ing were: Messrs. Segal, Bernard, air
banks, Knierim, Leavitt, Kaufman, Pill
kington, Lam, Pringle, Hammond, Ross,
Hernleben, Willis and Gilbert. Seven
Thousand Dollars of the bond issue was
subscribed for in advance by two citizens.
Now let us all pull together and see how
quickly we can push through to compile
ton plant that will be a credit 70 our
city and give MS water at cost.
