THE WATER SUPPLY QUESTION

Assuming that the intentions Of the city government are good
and sincere what to be gained by another investigation D ell
cjneers of the value Of the Salem water plant?
The city and water corporation arc to spend about i've o
sand collars on another expert report and engineering estimate
Of the value of the plant with view to purchase.
The city and the water company spent ABOUT i've ouSahu
dollars on expert reports and inventories two years ago. ana I
nep voted TO buy the property and the figures were agreed
upon. , u, ,too ,os
The city council passed the matter and the ordinance was
vetoed for what the mayor believed good and sufcen
reasons to himself and there the matter rested for two years
Now Just before city election the matter OF public ownership
of water again taken up and we are willing TO concede
has been done in good faith by the Rgdon committee
There are two objects be gained by public ownership and
they are not included in the present scheme
Public ownership must proceed getting supply OF purer
water and getting cheaper water for all the people
Nothing but direct flow OF water from supply IN the Ior
est reserve and gravity system would do that.
This engineering project that is to cost about five thousand
dollars is not based on those two propositions.
Il is simply to ascertain again the value OF the present
plant owned by the Salem Water company.
No one preends that going to get better or cheaper
water as a result of this expenditure.
Then why should the citizens and the water company be
forced to incur this expense?
It is claimed that the city buy the plant any cheaper
than it was offered
If the city had source Of water supply gravity system
would be in position to buy this plant cheaper
But until the city gets the big stick in its own hands 1t is folly
TO spend more money investigating
The city government should be enoned from spending ano
err dollar on expert engineering opinions or estimates
Until the city takes up the matter of better supply and
cheaper system the people have no interest in change
II we have supply of mountain water on gravity system in
sight viii be in position to buy out the present corporation
Simply buy out the present company and have better and
no cheaper ervice ought not interest the water user

YOUR CHILD'S HEALTH
YOUR FIRST THOUGHT

II you have children, naturally
your first thoughts are for their
health. You certainly want them to
develop strong healthy constitutions,
The most careful attention must be
given when children show the first
symptoms Of the many common all
ments. Perhaps they are weakly and
thin, or grow too fast, thus sacrlflc-
ing strength, These and other ap-
parently minor ailments may be the
forerunner to weak constitution for
life.
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge which is essentially a
chlldren's tonic. First of all, 1t will
properly care for the child's stom-
ach' 1t will also improve the appe-
lite, and will add strength to the
other organs of the body. In cases
of thin or impure blood, It increases
the number of red corpuscles enab-
ling the enriched blood to keep the
body healthy and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop is that of a
disordered stomach, leading to an
impaired digestion. In many cases
this trouble is due to parasites in
the intestinal tract, To correct such
trouble, Jaynes Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed.
For more than so years millions Of
children have been restored to health
through the use of this tonic. In
sist upon Jayne's; accept no other.
