sumed in discussing the water PROPOSE
ton as submitted by Engineer Scott,
and grading and regarding Of Water
street. The protestants against the
proposed improvements on Water
street were Mrs. Katherine Murray
and ID. II. Knode, and the matter was
laid over to an adjourned meeting
Tuesday evening. j. Fl. SCOTS plan
to secure a water system was TO take it
from the Yakima river by means Of
deep wells. He thought the light
plant could be made TO pump sutfi-
cheney of water and it could easily be
filtered and made as pure as the purtst.
He thinks the system could he built
for 1925, 900 to $4,000 and made 70
pay for itself in few years. The
opinion generally prevailed that the
city should do something in the matter
at once and that the city should not
only build the plant. hnt own and oper-
ate it and furnish water 10 the con-
sumers at a fair price. He said the
whole thing would be paid for out Of
the service rendered without penny
direct taxation.
The following resolution was offered
by c. II. Flummerfelt. and seconded by
w. j. Payne:
"Resolved that the matter Of provid-
ing permanent and sufficient water
supply be referred to a special commit

OF Benefit To Farmers

rwo years ago the stock companies
were charging farmers 81 % per year
for insurance ON barns and all contents,
including horses and stock. Their
policies covered horses only while in
the barn. The Northwestern Mutual
Fire Association of Seattle has reduced
the cost to the farmer from II - to 45
cents under a liberal policy that covers
not only in the barn. but any place on
the premises against both lightning
and fire, and also in any livery stable
Thus at one fifth the former cost to the
farmer they are giving double the pro-
lection. This is no experiment, but j.
