Al meeting held by the council
last night it was definately decided
not TO postpone the election, as mad
been talked earlier in the week.
Pursuant to advertising there was
public meeting held in the town
hall. Monday night to discuss the
water question. 1t seemed inat
practically everyone who was present
was opposed to going to the river
for supply. Nearly all of them
felt certain there was other as
cheap, and better, supplies. Those
councilmen present decided to call 4
special meeting of the council and
postpone the election to give an op-
portunity to select another water sup
ply.
At that special meeting last night.
Messrs NAPLES and Edison, two of
the main ObjectOrs withdrew their
objections. 1t was learned that the
town would need not less than 200.
900 gallons next summer, daily.
Both of these gentlemen decided that
the city could not count certainly on
that amount of spring water.
If we are to have water, and plenty
of water next year, We will have to
vote the bond issue requested by the
council
Election is Saturday.
