appointed to wait upon the water COM
pany, and get it to set a price on its
property, the lowest price at which it is
willing to sell it to the city. The com
pany knows, or should know, what its
property is worth, and all this monkey
ing with engineers and estimates, blue
prints and betterments, new improve
ments and nonsense is all waste of
time, and squandering Of money. Let
the company set its price, then let the
people vote upon the matter, and, while
deciding that point, also vote upon
whether they want municipal owner
ship in any form. 1t can also at the
same time authorize the mayor and
council, or board provided for in said
election, to secure estimates Of the cost
of gravity system, and this matter
can be submitted to the voters. The two
elections would cost but trifle com
pared to hiring engineers, making es-
timates on values, and monkeying away
the whole summer. The water question
is one that Salem has to settle, and
the sooner she settles it the better for

It is up to us to settle the matter, and
settle it at once, If the company wants
to sell its plant at fair valuation,
would be the wise thing to take it, using
its present distributing system, even
with water brought in by gravity, until
such time as new and larger mains are
required. This would also be fair to the
company, but If the latter puts an
unreasonable price on its property, sim

system, We fancy that when the city
starts to put in its own plant, it will moi
have any serious difficulty in getting
the company to fix price on its dis

plant in operation, that old system
would not be worth digging up for old
