VOTE FOR IT MONDAY

Next Monday August 3d) there will be held an election which will grant or refuse the Grand CanyoT Electric Light & Power Company franchise. permitting it to instal an up to date watsrworks and sewerage plant in Williams.
 It is more than probable thai every voter who intends to vote or the subject has formed his oonclu- -ions, but despite this fact, we be- Iieve it is not out of place to say few words in conclusion. regarding the proposition.
 It is a we'll known fac that Will | ams needs the waterworks system, also. it is . we'll known fact that the gentlemen of the light company are considering this fact as much as they are considering the fact that the proposition affords a good business opportunity. They have the facilities to put in such a sys- tenn as the city needs They are willing to spend their money and provide for the town that which it sorely needs. asking in return only safety for their investment and reasonable income on same A iairsr proposition could not be asked for Therefore we think the franchise should be granted. As stated last week, the oom- pany's source of water supply is coming In for quite a little un- favorable comment by q few who are opposed to granting the fran- chise. The writer examined the water last Sunday. and can truth fully say that the water is not as had as some have painted it. True, the water is not in condition 90 that it would make good drink ing water without first going through Altering process, hut must be remembered that if the company is graated e franchise it will have to furnish pure water or lose it's franchise. It is possible to render the water from the dam chemically pure by very simple processes; in fact the water is no filthy as it is.
 We can see no logical reason why anyone who has the interests of the town at heart. will insist on turning down the company's ap- plicatien for franchise.
 We trust that on next Monday the voters will vote favorab ble to the granting of the franchise, and that work on this laudab ble enter prise will be allowed to proceed 70 completion as rapidly as con ditions will permit.
