WATER QUESTION
BEFORE COUNCIL
Looks as Though We May
Get a Supply
PURE WATER At
City Has Practically Accepted Col.
Faw's Proposition, II He
Can "Make Oood,''

As had their predecessors for several
years Mayor Van Buskirk and the city
council. ever since assuming Office have
had their chief worry over the water
question. but it begins to look more prob
able that = satisfactory solution Of the
problem Of how to procure an adequate
supply Of the precious fluid is near at
hond.
At the adjourned meeting Of the eoun-
Gil last Thursday night. the Ubiquitous
Col. Faw was present with his PROPOSE
ton to supply the city with water from
his Horse Creek underfiow.
Jas. MeNssn Of La Junta, represent
ing the Arkansas Valley Water Supply
Co.. also appeared before the council to
tell them about the unlimited supply
Of clear mountain spring water that his
eompany-of which c. J. Cover and J. R.
Cunningham Of this city are component
parts-had filed upon at Antelope
Springs. and asked that his people be
given time to prepare an6 submit a prop
osition.
1t seemed to be the opinion of the ma
iority Of the board that they had better
"eineh" the Faw offer as the other COM
pany had nothing definite to offer. so up
on motion Of Alderman Coleman. with
North to second. the following resolution
was adopted:
BE it Resolved, That the Mayor and
Board OF Aldermen Of the City Of Rocky
Ford accept Col. J. A. Faw's proposition
to furnish water to the city for IS years.
upon the condition that said Faw satisfy
the council and attorney that he has sufii-
eient water Of the kind and quality men,
toned in the proposition. and upon the
further expressed condition that the con-
tract, when completed. will have such
further provision inserted as the city at
torney may believe to be necessary for
the protection Of the city,"
The city attorney was then instructed
to have a contract prepared for the ae-
ton of the council at its next regular
meeting.
The city engineer submitted his report
upon the Manning water right eontro-
versy, which was laid over until the next
regular meeting. and this settled the
water business for the time being.
Other business before the council was:
Building permits were granted to A. S.
Maloesay for a pressed brick dwelling
to cost $3.50. and to J. E. Dukes for
three frame residences to cost $3.50
each; City Treasurer H. M. lngraham's
bond was read and approved; the street
and alley committee was ordered to have
all streets and alleys within the city
limits opened up at once.

third. Smith hit safe and stole Sec
ond. Goblin struck out and c. Smith
drove one of those hot ones down
the first base line, scoring Jackson
and Smirl and landing himself on
third. Rex hit to Buckley, who easily
retired Rocky Ford by throwing Rex
out at first.
Hendricks let only three men bat
each inning up to the seventh, max
ing total OF 10 men to pat, while IN
