an injunction could quickly be
issued TO stop and remove the
trouble. Again, if il should be-
come necessary or desirable, the
town has the power to condemn
the water basin, or any part of
IL. 1t would, of course, be a
good thing If the town could
own that basin Of, say 5000
acres, and could build a storage
reservoir so as TO insure q large
and permanent water supply,
but this would cost from S75.-
10000 to 500, 100000, and the
town rs not In a condition to
undertake such an expenditure.
as every one must admit. If.
however, IN the future IL
should be desired to issue any
bonds on this account, the pre-
sent issue would not conflict
with 1t, as a seperate election
would be required in any event.
In the fourth place. L believe
the funds derived from this
bond issue will be honestly and
economically spent. Not a
dollar can be spent without the
approval and direction of the
Council, as a BODY. In addi-
ton TO that, all the work will
be done either by contract let
60 the lowest and best bidder.
or under the direct supervision
of committees of the Council.
ON all work let TO contract

by Council committees or by
the City Engineer.
Public improvements are not
made for today only; they viii
last for a generation, and those
who reap the benefits in future
years should help 10 pay for
them. Such result is always
reached by a wise bond issue.
which 1 believe this one 20 be.
and ! shall therefore vote and
work for the success Of this
issue on October 2Sth.
Very respectfully.

Mr. l.. O. Petit.

Dear Sir:
In accordance with your re-
quest, / made an estimate of
the work done on the road
through the Gap, and find that
there has been moved approx
mately $4,000 cubic yards Of
material, which with the usual
classification would have cost
S6750OO. / think that the road
should be credited with $500. 90
which il would have cost, if
contracted. to protect the en-
bankment at the river change.
l did not estimate the cost of
the Concrete Masonry at the
l.. & n. underpass. but under
stand it has actually cost the
town about $4,000. which do
not think is too high consider
ing the Disadvantages under
which the work was done.
If the whole work had been
let TO contract, il would have
cost the town about Sl20OUO0.
IL has cost the town to Oct. LIST,
s6250.00. Efecting a saving in
favor Of convict labor Of about
S5750.00or nearly 500.
Respectfully submitted.

We can afford 90 issue these
