TO THE VOTERS.

~
Virginia, MINI. Sept &c, 1911.
To the. Citizens Of Virginia, Mimi.
/ wish to make a few state
ments explaining my position
with reference to, the acquire
ment OF. the light and water plant
by the city Of Virginia, as | feel
that have been misrepresented
III connection with this matter.
As long aseI have served as an
alderman in the city of Virginia,
have never been absent from a
regular or special meeting Of the
city council and have endeavored
at all times sto*perform my duties
as alderman to the best Of. my
ability. I have devoted a great
deal of time ia attending to GER
tain committee. work with refer
ence to the establishment of light
and water mains and other i'm
provements throughout the city.
During the past year complaints
have been made to me frequently
that the tax rate in Virginia is
too high, and many citizens told
me they believed the city should
not incur indebtedness or spend
money to increase the tax rate
suddenly. ::.>
| am as anxious and DESTROYS
as any citizen Of Virginia to Sc
cure light and water at the low
est possible~rate, and I am thor
oughly in favor of having the city
own and operate a municipal
light and water plant when a
plant can be acquired or erected
at a reasonable and fair cost, and
when proceedings for this pur:
pose have been carefully consid-
cred. l feel that the question is
one that must be very carefully
studied and full information Sc
cured so that the matter may be
taken up IN the right way. If
proceedings are taken to con-
denim the present water plant in
such a way that the matter would
go into the courts and litigation
result, it might delay the acquire
ment Of the plant for several
years or more at a heavy expense
to the city, and a method must be
secured whereby the plant can be
procured at a fair and reasonable
price.
The cost Of a complete electric
light and water system will be
heavy, and whether the city is.
sues bonds or raises the money
in some other way, the entire cost
must come out Of the people. II
bonds are issued, a large amount
Of interest will have to be paid
and for these reasons l have felt
like going slowly in the matter
until a proper method was found
! The city employed c. 0. Bald.
win, of Duluth, who has a high
standing and is considered thor.
oughly competent attorney, to
give an opinion regarding the
franchises and this, has been sub,
mitted to the people and publish.
ed in the papers, and the opinion
indicates that the law is unsettled
as to the power of the city to can.
eel the franchise Of the light and
water company and we should all
give the matter careful thought
so that the best method may be
selected for the requirement of a
plant in fair and reasonable
manner.
| am perfectly willing to rest
my case in the hands Of the citi.
zens Of Virginia, standing upon
my record for the work and at,
tention | have given to my du,
ties as an alderman, and | respect
fully ask of everyone fair and
careful consideration of this mat
ter and | am willing to abide by
the decision of the voters on elec-
ton day.
Very respectfully,

SCARE OVER TITLES
 ABOUT SUBSIDED
Owners of Creek Indian Lands Will Keep Property-Circuit Court
 in Talladega

sTaIladega, December 14-(Special. 1.-The scare about Indian land titles in this county has about subsided. The land de- partment authorities at Washington will issue patents to all lands sold by the h. dians where the title was approved by the President, provided 30 years posses sion can be proved, accompanied with an abstract of title showing chain of title back to the original Indian. In cases where there was a sale and possession hereunder, but the sale was not approved by the President, it is probable that Con- gress will pass an act removing the cloud from the title. About 9o,00O acres is in volved in Talladega county, but no un- easiness is felt about the titles.
 Two vacancies were caused in the police force by the resignation of Officers Parks and Norred, who will enter into the mer- cantile business.

 priatiOn

Culman, December 4.-(SpeeiaD The people of this city are highly pleased over the report that comes from Con gressman ohm l.. Burnett to the effect that the last congressional budget con- tains an appropriation for S37000 for the building of federal building in Culman.
 MT.
