night by citizens of the fifth ward to
discuss the proposition of the purch-
ase of the Salem water plant with the
special committee of the city council
1t was agreed to hold another meeting
next Tuesday evening at the same
place to determine the sentiment of
that community regarding the pur-
chase. The member of the committee

same way as has been done in the
other meetings. In the absence Of
Alderman Rigdon, who was detained
or account of an accident to a lady
who was injured by a buggy being
turned over, Alderman White, of the
special committee stated the purpose
of the meeting and stated his views
as favoring arbitration while those of
Alderman Rlgdon we're for condem-
nation. August Huckensteln spoke

chasing the plant. There was some
differences as to the best method Of

given and more discussion Of the mat
ter will be held next Tuesday evening
when a large attendance Is desired.
Alderman Rigdon spoke in strong
terms regarding the dislnterestedness
Of the voters and urged everybody to
vote, even II their views did not agree
with his. What he wanted was the
sentiment of the people whether for
or against the purchase.
John d. Turner strongly favored
purchase by arbitration and not such
as was before. He said that there
should be articles Of agreement drawn
up and that both parties should be
bound by them.
Alderman Waring in stating his
view said among other things, 81 do
not propose to spend $500 or $4,000
to prove to the people that there is
no graft in the proposition" Rigdon
spoke up saying, u do" Mayor Lach-
mund said, 1--WE propose to purchase
