fire by the installation Of additional hvdrants and Of pressure
tanks on the higher elevations for the supply OF those hydrants
and not for the airing of personal complaints Of an individual ma
ture such as those by him thrust upon those present.
In a word, as the result of the meeting OF citizens at the Of
hcea Of Mr. Brown on Monday afternoon land not through am eff
fort or assistance Of the evening Raper-the Tonopah United Wa
Ter company through It's authorized representative; Mr. Wheeer
has agreed with our citizens to install seven additional hydrants
on the higher residence elevations Of Tonopah, to install pressure
reservoirs on the still higher elevations for the purpose of sup
plying water to those hydrants for fire purposes and to the resi-
dence sections for domestic purposes, 10 do this at its own cost
and expense and at a rate of 81 per month per hydrant for the
first year and not more than sc per month thereafter, and to be-
gin the work of installation at once and just as soon as the sur
veys and estimates therefor can be completed.
remains for the people to say, but suffice it that if it does keep
that faith and the protection promised be installed is agreed,
none Of the credit for that hoped for and expected result can pos
siby accrue to the paper in question or to its editor, who confines
his efforts to his individual troubles and to unwarranted attacks,
unfounded and untruthful in fact, upon those who have freely
given their time and efforts for the benefit of the entire commun-
fty.
