FIGURES THAT FAIL.

Not very long ago q man with

9 man with a wife and three children
under IA years Of age could not main

New York on less than 5000 year.

Ing In New York is somewhat higher

velopment--than In most other cities

MONDAY, OCT. 2, 1911.


Fargo water consumers are rejoic-
ing that the city won in its fight for a
purer supply. Judge Poliock's decision
Saturday was clean cut victory for
the city administrstion--and its efforts
to give the people better water. The
result 10 one which not only the
city ofacials--hut the public, generally,
can endorse.
II there is one thing more than an
other that has initiated against Fargo
in the past II has been in disgracefully
filthy water. Most people realized the
menace the present situation was to
the health Of the people and the growth
OF the city. with q few exceptions
they strongly favored a proposition to
secure an improved water supply.
There wsre some who--for personal,
political and factional reasons--sought
to prevent the completion Of the Ultra
ton plant. Their attitude and the
animus behind their position was gen.
orally understood. The attempt to
head on the pure water--is unlikely TO
be quickly forgotten.
Even his best friends are confident
that the suit brought by Mr.. Price was
ill-advised. Had he sought an injune-
ton prior to the letting OF the contract
Ion the grounds that the plans were
inadequate or incomplete--the people
OF Fargo wouid-while daplorinR the
deiay-been inclined to give him credit
for sincerity Of purpose. But after go
ing into the contestant losing out
Mr.. Prices action appeared in an en-
tirely different light.
Many people then saw the factional
and political side OF the action and
the public generally gave the suit the
consideration 1t deserved. Some peo-
ple-who were not interested In the
political differences OF the successful
and the defeated contractors, but who
wanted better water supply as quick
ly as possible--resented the endeavor
Of Mr.. Price to tie up the greatly need.
ed Improvement
It is announced that the case will be
appealed to the supreme court. Just
what advantage is to be secured from
this continued effort is difficult to see.
The filtration plant is now about two
thirds completed. Before the case can
possibly be heard by the supreme court
the people OF Fargo will be drinking
filtered water. The plant will have
been paid fcr-and just what good an
injunction would be-is not quite evil
dent.

Boards Of trade and commercial
bodies in the Florida cities and towns
are making every effort to check the
operations Of dishonest boomers. Many

err advertising from Florida land pro-
motion companies--pending the inves-
tisatton OF many OF the wildcat
