Can We Not Have Peace!

tom, four members Of the council
have submitted proposition that opens
a way for the settlement of question
that has vexed the people of this town
ever since the water question vas
sprung. The friends of the movement

have taken on the water question, but
they would subject themselves to well
deserved contempt did they decline 10
enter into an agreement TO settle the
point in dispute, which is the possible
isy OF an entire municipality owned sys-
TEN as agains, a municipality owned

Councilman Hathaway declined 10
a party to the agreement for the rea-
son that he favors buying the Tum-
water Light and Water Co.'S. plant and
said he did not want to get mixed up
in the proposition submitted to the
public By the four councilmen whose
names are signed thereto.
II those who disagree with the ma
jority of the council are in earnest
about desiring TO reach the solution Of
a question which has already aroused
too much heat and bad blood between
friends and neighbors they will not be
slow to enter into an agreement which
We confidently believe the public will
consider fair.

account. From experience those who
employ labor know that the cheapest
and most dependable class Of labor is
that which has a fixed abode-home
owning. The dearest and least efficient
is the imported. odds and ends, hobos
with no fixed habitation.
An efficient distribution system and
a supply of pure water is a necessity
and the building Of such a system this
fall and coming winter will furnish
much needed employment for a large
number Of our most worthy citizens.

the contractor to the employment Of
home labor by making it a condition in
the letting Of the contract.

ground up the first story, OF basement,
