provement of the city through the
purchase Of park site and sewer
system. FIXTURE demands upon the
water system must be considered and
steps taken looking to a plan which
will take care of the city's needs for
generations to come. The voters of
the best set Of officials the city ever
who are capable of team work, men
who can lay aside prejudices are

then the city will be doomed to an
other period Of pickering and con-
tention, when concerted action is the
crying need. AS yet We have heard
