VIII Petition Board to Call
Bond Election.

An enthusiastic mass meeting.
attended by many tax payers, was
held at the big tent on Idaho
street Wednesday evening, as per
the call Of the Commercial club
members. The water works cues
ton was discussed and many
questions were asked and an
swered. J. a. Fenton presided as
chairman of the meeting and John
F. Baird as secretary. e. d.
Blake, of Boise, was present and
gave estimates as to the cost of the
plant. T 'e figures were practi-
cally the ? as,given before the
Commercial hub last week. but
were more carefully prepared. He
figured oon a tank elevated ITO
feet, with capacity of 10000 gal
Ions, 10000 more than the tank at
Nampa, but in other respects the
same. This, he said, could be
erected by the Chicago Bridge &
Iron Works for S4,450. He recon-
mended a pump to furnish $4,000
gallons day, and capable of fur
nishing to two fire streams 355.
gallons a minute. This would cost
$1,000. He recommended a 225
h. p. motor at $4eQ, building aat
$500, and a deep well at 4about
$3.50.
For the piping system he recon-
mended eight and six-inch iron
pipe costing about $4,000, as
against wood. costing $1,000 less.
He said the expense of keeping up
wood pipe wonld be considerable
as against nothing for iron pipe.
He said the entire system could
be built complete for $4,000
Remarks were made by Clem
Hedges. j. H. McSparran. II. P.
Madden, S. NJ. Burns and others.
Rev Fl. E. Wilhite compIimonted
the citizens upon their enterprise
in starting the movement for bet

After diseassion, the audience
was asked to4give by standing vote
an endorsement of municipal
water system, and every person in
the tent rose to his feet.
DR.. ). NJ. c. Reynolds then of
fered a resolution that a commit
tee of three be appointed to secure
signatures to a petition asking the
village trustees to call an election
to vote bonds for a water works
system. This was carried aud the
chair appointed Homer Tolleth,
John T. Baird and Arthur Ballard
as such committee.
During the next few days this
committee will,call on as many tax
payers as possible with this petit
ton. 1t is hoped that it will meet
with the enthusiastic support of
every person, and that the list of
names will be so complete as to
indicate that the people mean bus

Meridian must have a water
supply. This movement is
straightforward and honest, and
every person is working with an
