experienced one of the busiest years
it has passed through in the last de-
cade. The amount of work done has
exceeded all former years and never
theless the expense of the office OF
very little. The engineer is grateful
to his employees and says had it not
been for their careful and considerate
work, it would have been impossible
to accomplish the flattering results.
A summary of the report follows:

franchise ordinance, which shall gov
ern the Cairo rates. Consumers Of
water ia Cairo are asked to till oui
the blank lines in the form and send
the clippings to Alderman Greaney
Perhaps it is proper to state that
this movement has nothing in it but
/ an earnest desire to promote public
interests in direction where some
promotion is apparently much needed
Certainly there is no vindietiveness
in ii toward the water company or
anyone connected with it, nor toward
any one else. Ii is a purely busienss
proposition. so far as the public Off
ciais connected with il are concerned
and ii is to be handled in a
businesslike way, with a de-
sire only to get at the truth,
to be fair with the water com
pany and to insist upon fair treatment
for its patrons, Any other motive
than this must be quickly discovered
and can not but defeat the end sought
TO be gained.
II. after a thorough Investigation
il shall appear that the water rates
in Cairo are not higher than the or
dinance calls for then all the criticism
that has been INDUCED in by con
sumers for years past on this score
will be stilted and the water company
and its representatives will be justi.
lied. Ii the contrary Is found to be
true, then it will be the duty OF the
executive department al the city to
see that the company carries out its
contract with the people even at this
late day
Doubtless the movement was
looked upon with distrust at first. by
some who ara at heart not opposed
to fair and full inquiry ana who
really ana earnestly desire that the
people shall he relieved of any unjust
burdens, Some members of the conn
ell may have felt that way. and pet
haps His Honor. t>e MAYOR, was in
cIined to feel that way But with the
assurance that this is to be a disin.
thorough and honest effort
to learn the truth. and with the
knowledge that the faw amply pro.
fects the water company from any I'M
fair demand, no one may assume an
fttitnde OF resistance and claim inn
from criticism, and even the
water company and its representa-
ives can not afford to assume such
IN attitude if they would avoid the
suspicion that they fear the truth.

FOR REGISTRATION.

A strong appeal to Cairo voters Ia
made by Judge John NJ. Lansden, in
card elsewhere in this paper urging
them to vote for the Registration Law
at the election on Nov. "a strong
er appeal probably can not be framed,
for It meets every objection that can
be legitimately raised against the
proposition, and leaves no ground up
on which the opponent can stand that
he dares defend openly with any pros
pect or hope Oh maintaining it before
an intelligent and conscientious cleo
torate
1t may be added. to what Judge
Lansden has said that the expense of
carrying out the purposes OF the law
In the city woll come out of the county
treasury, not out OF the city treasury,
and that the Board OF County Com
missioners has appropriated $4,000 for
election purposes next year, knowing
that few elections will be held in that
year, but anticipating a favorable vote
by the people of Cairo on the Regis
tartion Law, and In order to be able
to meet the expense that may be in
Cured on that account. The county
government Is at an end with lts
financial troubles, thanks to the
change in the law; the Is cent special
tax will be done away with next year
and the - cent rate fixed by law will
yield ample revenue to meet all the
wants Of the county, not only in the
matter OF regular running expenses,
but also in the way of needed improve
ments In the court house as may be
demanded.
Moreover. the people of the county
outside Of Cairo, would like to see
Cairo adopt the Registration Law,
because they are as much Interested
In having clean elections in Cairo as
are the people OF Cairo, since the
Iairo vote controls the vote of the
county at all elections in which the
county as a whole is concerned.
