Representatives of J. L. Nave
appeared before the village board
of trustees Tuesday evening with
the request that the board vacate a
portion of a practically unused
street adjoining the property re-
Gently purchased by Mr.. Nave on
which to build his new garage at
the rear of the Club pool hall, in
compensation for which Nave
agreed to deed the city an equiva-
lent tract of land from the property
bought by him at that site. Nave's
property lies in a triangle, on one
point of which stands the city's
public watering fountain, and op-
posite Wilhelm the streets the
city Jail. BY the Encouragement
Cf put through the city would OBJ
tain site for the Jail and fountain
and the site for the new garage
would be changed from the unde-
sirable triangular shape to a rec
tangle on which the garage Of
35x7O feet will be built.
The board will consider this mat
ter more definitely next Tuesday
night when, it was suggested, that
Nave appear with accurate surveys
and other necessary documents.
The board is prohibited by law
from deciding away property, but
when a street is vacated title to the
land so vacated reverts to the abut-
ting property. So far the board
has taken no action in the matter.

BETTER WATER
IS THE OBJECT
Bonner Water & Light Company Plan
to Sink Iron Encased Well and
Pump Supply Therefrom
SITE BEING NEGOTIATED FOR
Question in Minds Of Some Whether
This Will Give Desired Relief

1t was learned at the meeting of
the village board of trustees held
Tuesday evening, that the Bonner
Water & Light Company is taking
steps whereby it is hoped to i'm
prove the present very unsatisfac-
tory quality of the city water sup
ply. Manager Gale, upon being
questioned by the board, announced
that the company had negotiations
pending with the Boomers Ferry
Lumber Company for a pumping
site on triangular tract of land at
the lower end of the Slough"
Here 1t is planned to sink an iron
casing several feet in diameter and
concrete it up high enough to pre-
vent the entrance of surface water
and any other surface filth. The
plans also contemplate the installa-
ton of a new pump at that site
with probable capacity of ESQ gal
Ions per minute, which would be
run continuously during the day
whenever its operation is needed.
The Union Iron Works of Spokane
is now making the iron casing.
The opinion of the board was
that such an arrangement would
not give the desired relief. Seep-
age into well of this nature would
at first be filtered, but the seepage
flow would not be large enough to
provide the required volume of
water (250 gallons per rninute) and
as result underground channels
would soon be made direct from
the nearest body of water to the
well, after which the pump would
draw the water direct from the riv-
er, the Slough, or the nearest
source. Another objection in the
minds of the board was that the.
proposed pumping plant would be
too near the Slough, where the
water is unquestionably as poor as
any in the vicinity, with the con-
sequent danger of contamination.
In connection with this subject
Mayor Fry stated that when anal
Uses of the water of the river was
being made several months ago,
the tests being taken from different
locations, the purest water was
found in the river at point above
the upper end of the Slough, and
suggested that that would be the
logical place for pumping plant.
Manager Gale stated to the board
that the company's desire is to
provide water supply that will be
entirely satisfactory, and stated
that the company was working
with that eud in view.

ARRANGE FOR
CITY ELECTION
Board Of Trustees Designate Polling
Place and Appoint Judges and
Clerks of Election
NO CANDIDATES YET APPEARED
None Of the Oh Beard win Run For
Reelection

The city fathers took the neces-
sary steps Tuesday evening for
calling the city election which will
be held this year on April 9th.
The election will be held in Kent s
hall, from 9 a. M. to pm. George
c. Wade, G. w. Megquier and
Alex Frazier were appointed judges
and Otto Mathiesen and James
Bush clerks of election. .Registra-
ton books will be opened soon.
The law stipulates that the city
clerk shall act as registrar, but due
to his inability to so act, w. o.
Rosebaugh was designated to act in
that capacity.
The retiring board of trustees,
consisting of Mayor E. E. Fry and
Councilmen A. c. Moore, ]. w.
Reid, L. N. Brown and R. Dravse,
have all expressed themselves as
unwilling to run for reelection.
This is to be regretted. These
officials have worked hard for the
welfare of the city, have spent
much time and energy in conduct
ing the city's affairs and solving
perplexing difficulties in what is at
best thankless and exasperating
job. While always keeping the
best interests of the town in mind
and building for its growth and
development, they have, in common
with the demand for economy in
public affairs prevalent everywhere,
conducted the city business with a
smaller expense account and with
a reduced tax levy, having reduced
the city levy from four to two
mills. And in the meantime the
city's welfare has suffered to no
extent.
Few of our citizens who are not
accustomed to attend the board S
meeting and thereby learn of the
amount of work transaced, realize
at all to what extent the citizens
are indebted to the officials for their
unpaid, unselfsh and-as has been
said-often thankless labors. The
city stands greatly in debt to its
board of trustees.
While no announcements have been
made as to candidates for the COM
ing election, yet the political pot
is beginning to simmer and in an
other week or two will undoubt-
eddy be boiling with the usual
degree of interest.
