EXTENDING THE DEBT LIMIT

BY action taken at the Monday night
meeting of the city council the city
will soon be called upon to vote at a
special election on the question Of eX-
tending the debt limit Of the city from
five TO ten thousand dollars and Of IN
curing a special Indebtedness Of $40,
600. the latter Indebtedness for the
purpose Of acquiring funds to pay the
cost Of the water plant acquired from
the Pacific Power & Light Co. last
year. which was assessed by a condem-
nation jury.
For the past decade the city govern
ment has been trying TO secure a mu-
nicipal water system. Their endeavors
have ever been hampered by litigation.
Indeed, people have become prone to
make Jokes about the proposal Of in
staIlation of a municipal water system.
Yet. such is the history of such efforts.
The interests that will be affected by
the building Of a municipal water sys-
TEN, naturally, scrap to the last ditch.
BY amending the city charter,
raising the debt limit and incurrng the
special indebtedness, the city goyrn-
ment has struck on a method whereby
it will be able to at last begin the
water system. Every citizen in the
city realizes the need of Hood River
for more adequate water system. BY
voting for the charter amendments cit
izeus will aid the council in bringing
the municipal system to naturalization
Every man, who has the best inter
ests of the city at heart. should take
an active interest toward securing the
amendments. The city needs the larger
water system. 1t needs street i'm
provemcnts. and these cannot be un-
dertaken until the water question is
settled. AT present the city water de-
partment, with the limited system ac-
quired from the Pacific Power & Light
Co., Is returning net income OF ap-
proximately $500 a month. Those who
have chrage Of the water department
declare that with preprer facilities and
water a plenty to supply the demands,
this sum could be doubled throughout
the summer months. Thus it can be
seen that by incurring the indebtedness
for the payment of the sum assessed by
the condemnation jury as the value of
the Pacific Power g. Light Company s
water system, the city will not be bur
dening itself The water department
can and will be made a self sustaining
and profitable institution. The city
should secure funds to settle this obli-
cation held by the power company and
thus free the water system from all
strings attached to it.

WRIGHT RESIGNS
OFFICE OF MAYOR

J. NJ. Wright, who for the past six
years has been an efficient member of
the city council and who was elected
by that body to take up the duties of
mayor at the resignation Of +. H..
Hartwig last fall, has rendered his
resignation to the council which 1t is
understood will be accepted at the
Monday nights meeting Of the council.
Mr.. Wright states that this business
demands his attention to such an ex-
tent that it is impossible to give
adequate time to the performance of
the duties of mayor.
The council has not designated a
successor for Mr.. Wright. DR.. f. c.
Brosius, who has been closely and
actively connected with city affairs for
many years and who is now president
of the council was suggested as the
logical man. However, he states that
he will not accept the position.

At THE TOP
Is the Vaudeville Bill at the
Popular Victoria Show
House.

Fred Fuller and his aggregation Of
clever performers opened at the Vic
toria theater yesterday. In addition
to this big company the management
engaged an ertra attraction in the
parsonage of Rogers and West, This
extra team is good and is we'll worthy
the managements consideration in
adding them to the already big
Fuller attraction.
The minstrel portion of the show
is we'll put on. 1t can be seen that
the participants in this minstrel have
been we'll trained as everything goes
Hike clock work. The singing is ex-
celent, spiced off here and there with
some decidedly clever side steps.
Good buck dancing is another feature.
The entire show is handsomely cos
tuned. The two end men get their
stunts over in true minstrel style
Messrs. Fuller and Hathaway deserve
credit for the manner in which they
handle the two extreme ends of the
minstrel line while Mr.. Holman, the
interlouctor, keeps them from COM
ing together, which seems quite ap-
parent at times.
Miss Mildred Gates, a member of the
minstrel does neat speciality in the
way of rendering three songs N very
artistic manner This young lads
possesses rich voice.
On the whole, the show is well
worth your patronage and you should
not take chances on Saturday night
you may not be able to get in-bettel
so tonight.
