Questioned by Brown


Councilman Brown opened the dis
cUason hy saying that he questioned
seriously whether they knew that tho
city was getting anything for its
money. He had several opinions from
lawyers to the effect that the city was
acquiring nothing, and he did not
want to gamble away the City's
money, Thcy were of the opinion,
Brown said. that there was no diver
sion of water to be made, as all the
water in the Yakima river had been
appropriated
Councilman Lynch declared, in his
opening remarks, that if the matter
had not come up as it had on June
>, he would have felt some hcsitancy
I'm talking as he did. Tho power
right had been freely given to the
city IL they would buid power plant,
but il was given up, as the city gov
errmcnt did not see fit to build tho
plant Ia was later decided to secure
the site for two purposes, l. g., to he
used as club over the Pacific Power
& Light company, and later to give
the people a chance TO build a plant.
The people, he said, had not been
given chance to say whether or not
they wanted a plant lie thought
the council was taking a queer po-
sition, and they hardly knew where
they were, being swayed to and fro
with the varying brccHes.
