DISCUSS WATER WORKS.
What Buiness Men and Property Own
 CTS Think of the Proposition.

circuit of the town permitted us to meet, and herewith publish the various statements abbreviated to our space limit.
 Here is what they say:
 E. J. Megown- I am ready to help such scheme to a finish. l am sure that nothing is more greatly needed than a water system and right now is the time to start the movement.
 J. w. Bair- I am heartily in favor of the issuance of bonds for water system. Water works is the town S greatest need at this time. hope the proposition will be pushed to an early completion.
 w. E. Lamb am not sure that the town is able to maintain water system. 1 would want to think over it and see if it would be worth the cost.
 Mike Coxsey- Sure I am in favor of water works. We need them and must have them. 1 am heartily in favor of voting bonds and putting them in.
 Dr. Morrow Yes, let us have water works. 1 am in favor of a bond issue for a system of reasonable cost. $20, 900 ought to pay for system ad- equate to the needs of the town.
 Massey Seitz- The town needs water works more than anything else at this time. First thing we know we will lose enough property by fire to pay for system. 1 am for water works and just good system as we can build.
 Harve Villines- Put me down as heartily in favor of bond issue. l am willing to stand my proportion of the cost and then some. Let us have water works.
 Bob Grable- Yes, sir, I am for water system. 1 don't see how the town is to get along without it. 1 think the time is here when we must have water works.
 c. D. Wall l am for water works. It is the towns greatest need at this time. am ready and anxious to vote for bond issue.
 A. DeBarr- Water works would be good thing for the town.
 c. B. Grim am not willing to be quoted upon the proposition without giving it some more thought.
 Capt L. E. Harbert- Yes, I think we need water works. 1 would favor such a movement.
 Jeff Harbert- am for water works first of anything. We need fire pro- lection and water protection worse than anything. ! am for the prop oston good and strong. :.
 Dr. Lundberg- Oh, sure, I would favor the movement. We can't be a town of any consequence without it. l hope to see the people get busy on the proposition and believe they will
 Judge Butt am not sure that such thing is within our reach but certainly favor it. If we can get let us have by all means.
 Dr. Poynor-I am favor of bonding the town for twenty per cent of it's valuation or more for a water system. There is no danger of water works costing the town more than the value
 c. D. Shaffer- 1 am just as strongly in favor of the proposition as you can put it. l would not name limit of the per cent of property values 1 would be willing to vote. l am for water works at any cost.
 Dr. Donaldson am in favor of water works. 1 believe it is thing we need If it takes bonds to get them, I say issue bonds. The health of the town demands it, as well as protection from fire and the many other ad- vantages.
 John Wells believe I would favor the proposition. l think we need the protection.
 E. s. Foreman l believe it would be the proper thing to do. The town needs it, there is no question about it.
 c. c. O'Neal- am unqualifedly in favor of it. believe it would be a safe proposition to issue bonds. While the cost would be heavy on us now, the growth of the town would lessen the burden in the future. l think the matter of cost should be well consider ed with a view of the ability of the town to pay.
 Frank Wells = The town needs water works, there is no question about that.
 w. s. Hittson- am Tn favor of it. think the time has come when our water supply is impure. We need water works.
 Newb Egmon- l am in favor of it. We must keep the town growing. Now is the time to go after water works.
 Len Reynolds-I I am in favor of anything that is for the town. 1 think water works would be good thing.
 E. A. Douglas Water works would be good thing for the town.
 Mayor A. L. Kinney I am in favor of water works, if we can get them. It is a question in my mind whether system is within our reach 1 am not posted as to the assessed valuation of our real estate. It may not be great. enough to give us bonds of sufficient amount to secure system. 1 would want to know the taxes would not be unduly burdensome. There are a good many things to consider in connection with such an enterprise. l am glad to see the question agitated, as it will result in determing whether or not such is within our reach.
 J. A Buell. am not in favor of issuing bonds. If any private individ- ual could be induced to put in system, l would be in favor of that
 M. A. Oldham am strictly in favor of the proposition. Ihave always been for everything that builds up the towns in which 1 live. Bonds don't scare me.
 J. J. Shaffer- am for it. realize that 1t would cost me probably more than any other man in the corporation, considering the direct benefit derived, but that don't deter me one minute from being for something I know would be for the good of the town.
 Joe Villines- 1 don't think l would
