city folks being in evidence to a
considerable degree, the sales for
the week ending Nov. 18th, took
runaway with the out-of-town
people sounding the high mark
close to the six hundreds.
The week ending November Is,
while being rather quiet for the
early part, shows strengthening
tendency towards the close. In

ranging from two to four hun
dred dollars.
This week holds the record of a
Necklae sale, that fairly bids to

questionable vote Of 572 against
Sc being almost six to one il
favor Of the proposition as sub
mitted. ..~ >~> E..ss.
The proposition, submitted as
the result Of an agreement be-
tween the city council and the
committee of five asked to be ap-
pointed by petition signed by
several hundred citizens and tax
payers, whereby the petition was
withdrawn in consideration Of the
question being submitted to the
voters does not imply command
for the purchase Of the plant but
does imply a command for action
looking to an estimate Of the
same, which if unattainable in
other manner may be taken into
the court for the appointment Of
board Of appraisal in condemna-
ton.
Following the obtaining Of what
the council may consider a "reas-
enable price, it is more than
likely the question Of price will be
submitted to the voters along
with a question Of bonding the
city to meet the same, it being not
improbable that such stage OF pro-
ceedings may be reached in time
for the general city election in
February next.
AS the Enterprise has hereto
fore stated, we consider the ques
ton should have been submitted
IN different form, giving the vot-
ers an opportunity Of voting upon
the purchase OF the light and wa
Ter systems separately, in accord
ance with the provisions Of the
franchise, but the vote, while an
exceedingly light one, shows tia.
the people believe in owning both
plants provided they may be had
at right price and believe that

lses is right now.
1t is understood the city council
mas been in correspondence with
experts IN the line OF estimating
such plants, AMI therefore know
where to look for reliable infor-
nation in the matter.
Should the price Of the plant
and the amount Of bonds neces-
sary to be raised for the purpose
OF purchase be considered too
nigh, however, there will ne an
other opportunity for the taxpay-
or to express his views on the sub
Ject, and the real campaign in the
matter will likely come at that
time.
