Bond Election
Council Satisfied That Majority OF
Citizens Want Good Water


The bond election last Tuesday
faileed to bring out a representa-
tive vote and the results indicated
that little work had been done in
opposition to the proposition. In
the first ward there were Is votes
against a 50 for the issuance of
bonds; in the second ward 20 vot-
ers opposed the issue while SO vot-
ed in favor Of bonds; in the third
ward there were 32 against and 80
for. At meeting Of the council
that evening resolution was pre-
sented and adopted authorizing
the council to commence the work
of installing the filtering plant on
the north side Of the tracks. This
resolution was passed after the
members of the council had receiv-
ed the official count, which
demonstrated the general intention
of the voters favor the matter of
issuing bonds for the alteration
plant.
There was some oppoition to the
issue on the part Of resident of
the north side who have felt that
the city should first procure
adequate fire protection for them
before any further expenditure Of
city funds should be authorized.
The north side has not had adequate
fire protection and the council
is about to commence the work of
digging mains on the north side
OF the trick to accommodate the
people of that section. No bonds
will be issued for the erection of
the filtering plant and the work
will be prosecuted as public
enterprise by the city. The matter
Of issuing the bonds will un-
doubtedly come before the votes at
the next municipal election,
