Hard Proposition
Say They Do Not Know How Minot will Get Up-to-date
Water Works System Within Five Years.
One Proposition Turned Down

The city council had very inter
esting session Monday night, SO inter-
esting that at times, things took on
quite serious aspect.
The waterworks question was up for
consideration. Alderman Smart at
tempted to tell the fathers how to 60
ahead with the plant, and then some
thing happened and he didn't finish
his story.
Two OF the advocates for private
ownership Alderman Prescott and SEQ
field, wanted to see just where the
others were at, so put proposition
up to. the council, providing for the
pumping Of the water direct from the
river, with high pressure pump, do
ing away with the stand pipe alto
gether, and extending the mains from
time to time as the city could afford
It. This proposition was lost. How
ever Alderman Scofield, Hendrickson,
Botz and Prescott voted for it.

Two of the strongest evangelists
who have ever held meetings in Mino-,
have been secured by the Presbyter-
ian church. They will begin their
special meetings next Sabbath, March
20, and continue for two weeks or
more. They are Rev. John S. S. Ham
ilton and Prof. John r. Bursk both Of
East Cleveland, Ohio. Prof. Bursk is
a gospel solo singer and leads the
chorus choir and congregational sing
ing. Prof. Bursk is also an evangelist
for children and always holds child.
rens meetings and afternoon meet
ings for mothers, wives and daught-
ers.
Rev. John S. Hamilton comes to US
as one who is sane and wise in all his
methods, a strong earnest direct and
I forceful preacher of the truth. A man
of commanding presence and winsome
personality. The two men together
make a combination especially fittel
for evangelistic work.
Popular evenings for every one will
be held every night beginning Sunday,
March 10Th at 7:45 p. m. The rousing
gospel song service will begin prompt
ly at 7:45 and the preaching services
at p. m.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-03-26

The Alderman then talked over the
present financial condition OF the city
and practically agreed that Minot
could not very well go Ahead at this
time and install an up-to-date system.
Most of the aldermen talked rather
favorably towards inviting foreign
capital to build our water works sys-
tenn, but insist that restrictions must
be proper Here is where the mat
ter stands today The aldermen who
favor private ownership say that Mi
not will not have a first class system
in five years If the city has to 60
ahead and build it.
The Aldermen are expected to 60
ahead and see that the system is en-
larged and perfected. They have q
job on their hands. In the meantime
the people want better fire protection.
they want better water, and more of
it. They want the mains extended.
How are we going about it to do this?
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-03-26

A special meeting for women will
be held in the church Sunday after
noon at $3.50 p. M, to be addressed by
Prof. Bursk. Every woman In Minot
should hear this address by the sing
ing evangelist Children's meetings
will be arranged for and announced
later to he led by Prof. Borsk. Watch
the papers for the announcements.
These meetings are Of great value to
the growing boys and girls.
On Sunday afternoon, April 5, a
mass meeting for men only will be
held in the opera house at $3.50 p. M.
to be addressed by the evangensts:
Do not fail to hear these men. 1t
is not often we can secure such able
men from the east. They will have
messages of great value to young adn
old. Members of every church or nc
church are cordially invited. Con
verts in these meetings will be given
their choice as to what church they
! will attend or unite with. Our pur
pose is to lead every one to think
more deeply of their duty toward their
God and Savious. Church affiliations
will be left to your own choice. Come
and invite others.
