When the newly elected city eoun-
ell meets for its first honest to good
ness bushes session Monday night in
the City Hall at Warrington, the first
step VIII have been made toward the
new Warrington that. is the vision OF
some forward looking citizens of that
place. At this session the first ser
ious consideration will be officially Civ
en- the proposed new bond issue, what
Us amount shall be and what Il shall
provide.
There is going to be a lot of argp-
ment at that meeting. There are so
many things that Warrington needs,
and needs badly and Of course she can
not have all OF them-not right off the
reel at any rate, and every member
OF council is going to have an opinion
as to what IS the main thing most
needed and his opinion may be a lot
dirferent from the other fellows opin-
ion.. There Is one thing though, that
there will be no difference of opinion
about. That is that Warrington must
have a new water plant.
AT the meeting Monday night plans
in detail will be presented to the coun-
Gil for the proposed new plant. Il will
be decided what sized plant win be,
needed to care for the present and the
prospective needs Of the city and how
much 1t will costjto build 1t. Unotfi-
eiaIy the council members are agreed
that a plant to cost at least $4,000
will be reuirqed.
In sense, the city council Of Man
ntngton is resolving itself into a city
planning committees. shey are going
to take a long look into the future
and plan their expenditures with an
eye to what the city is going to need
ten years from now.
New streets in certain sections will
be asked for by councilment Monday
night, and their will no doubt be diff
ferences Of opinion to be adjusted on
that score. Some new sanitary con-
structton is also to be considered and
the citizens OF Warrington are hoping
that the consideration will be very
serious.
The big thing in mind by the council
although 1t Is probably impossible to
take 1t UP right now, is dredging and
walling Of Buffalo creek in its course
through the town so that 1t will not ov-
eflow and so that the menace from
low and stagnant water will be remov-
ed. The people are discovering that
they have an enemy in Buffalo creek
both when 1t is high and when 1t is
cd - h,,k Rt.ak
the creek in It's present condition Is
in summer a great disease breeder.
III they were placed end to end"
said prominent citizen the other ev-
ening" the mosquitoes Of Warrington
would make belt five time around the
earth" This was not verified by
the politician but Judging from his ex.
perience there one night last summer
It Is not believed TO be an exaggera-
ton.
A new city hall has also been men
toned as one OF the things that Man
nington has need Of. The present rem
shackle shack Is in no way fitting
representation Of the city's official dig
nifty. It has been suggested that a
new building be built, or that quarters
be secured in some other building, and
that the present city offices be con-
verified into a real central fire depart
ment.
A discussion as to whether or not
the Traction Company should be re-
minded Of their decision to build a
modern terminal in Warrington may
also come up. Warrington Is very
anxious to cooperate with the Trac.
ton company in this particular, and
It even has been suggested that a
fitting location for the city offices
would be IN floor Of the proposed
new building.
Yes gentlemen, that council meeting
Monday night is going to be hum
dinger!
