CITY SEEKS WATER SUPPLY

Mondays city election would be
almost featureless with the voters of
Langdon were it not that they are
asked to express their view as to what
action the council should take on two
questions of considerable Importance
in the city's welfare. The council
first seeks to take the initiative step
this year toward putting in as soon
as it practically can be done of a sys-
ten of sewerage and waterworks.
What the council has decided as the
first move that should be taken in the
matter and which it asks thefsanction
of the voters to take at Mondays ell
ection is to eXpend the money needed,
not to exceed So, 600, in obtaining
an adequate water supply to carry out
the projected plan of putting in a city
waterworks and sewerage system.
Think this over before voting and read
over carefully the detailed outline of
the plan in the circular which the
council has authorized City Auditor
Sheehan to mail to every voter of
Langdon.
